Complaint to the town council about cats "disturbing" pots of plants placed along common corridors

A common complaint to the town council is about cats messing up pots of plants placed OUTSIDE homes, along COMMON corridors.

Pots of plants in common areas, not uncommonly, end up as rubbish bins, especially for cigarette butts.

Plants are also at risk of being vandalised or stolen.

If the owners truly treasure the pots of plants, place them indoor or cordon them like what this owner does.

Here are resources on how to keep cats off potted plants:-

1) How To Get a Cat to Stop Pooping in Potted Plants

2) Keep Cats Out Of Planters

Another suggestion: "U know those small limes, supermarket usually sell in a packet less then a dollar. Buy 1 paket and squeeze the lime juice all over the edge of the pot and scatter the leaves in the soil. Cats hate those citrus smell and won't come near it"

There is NO NECESSITY TO KILL THE CATS in response to such complaints.

PM Goh: " it was not illegal but it must be done responsibly"

The Straits Times, 21-08-2004, VOICES
Postcards to a PM;The Straits Times asked readers for their thoughts on the Goh years - and this is what some had to say

"ONCE, WHEN A LADY asked PM Goh during his Kim Keat walkabout about whether it was illegal to feed stray cats, he wisely replied that it was not illegal but it must be done responsibly. On behalf of all cats in Singapore, I want to say 'Thank you very much."

Let no one kill nor cause another to kill

All living things fear being beaten with clubs.
All living things fear being put to death.
Putting oneself in the place of the other,
Let no one kill nor cause another to kill.

Cat in a Commercial

You are my companion for life

小猫

All bones and skin
瘦如皮包骨
shou ru pi bao gu

Sitting forlorn in the lift lobby
孤零零的坐在电梯大厅
gu ling ling de zuo zai dian ti da ting

3 year have passed
三年流逝
san nian liu shi

You are not my pet
你不是我的宠物
Ni bu shi wo de chong wu

You are my companion for life
你是我生命中的伴侣
Ni shi wo sheng ming zhong de ban lu

My wish is to live longer than you
我愿比你长壽
Wo yuan bi ni chang shou

So that I can care of you
为的是能照顾你
Wei de shi neng zhao gu ni

Till you exhale your last breath
直到你呼出最后的一口气
zhi dao ni hu chu zui hou de yi kou qi

And close your eyes for the last time
和闭上双眼的最后时刻
he bi shang shuang yan de zui hou shi ke

In utter contentment
完全的满足
wan quan de man zu

And my rolling tears of joy that our paths have crossed
含着欢乐的泪水，我们走过生命的历程
han zhe huan le de lei shui, wo men zou guo sheng ming de li cheng

Once again and will again
生生世世
sheng sheng shi shi
