To some people, not only do cats poise a risk to their children, but "old people" as well!

Said Madam Neo, who has a daughter studying in Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary School: “I think the nursing home is not a good idea because there’s a school just opposite the place. Kids will be playing and walking around [the facility] and you don’t know what kind of diseases they might get.”

Where can we go?ryone

HDB says No
We stay on the streets
Town Council says No
The feeders mess up public areas
We move to the carparks
Car owners say No
The scratches must be that "stupid cat sleeping on the roof"
We move to the hawker centres
NEA says No
Or else no 'Singapore OK' label
We hang around the walkway
The young lady says we scare her mother
We move near the childcare
The parents complaint to the Town Council's officer
"Get rid of the cat or we beat your brain out!"
We poo on the grass
The Town Council's Senior Property Manager screams
"Cats cannot poo! Not even on the grass!"
Where can we go?
Can we ask to be unborn?
We are labelled pest and nuisance
Without justification
Look who is destroying the earth?
At an unprecedented pace
Come on
We only want to live
Just like you do
What right have you got to push us off the brink?
