Story of PUSSY
Current Age: 2+-year old
Ard late 2009, I got a late nite call from a 70+yo cat-loving auntie that a new abandoned kitten she had been feeding for a few days could not move. She had taken her back and put in her toilet. I went over to take a look the next day. There was some improvement as she could take wobbly steps and did not seem to be in pain. Auntie told me she had been humped aka 'rape' by a few tom cats at the bicycle stand, I laughed it off, she was a tiny baby, should be around 4+-month at most, wt less than 2kg ...
She recovered within 2 weeks. I though I better sent her for sterilisation before release. That area is problematic, I did not want a new unsterilised female running around and get pregnant. There was a risk she might wander to other areas.
The clinic staff and I could not believe! The small kitten was found pregnant during sterilisation. :( So auntie was right.
While recuperating in the auntie's hse, a feeder told me a nearby Buddhist temple was looking to adopt a kitten or cat. They want a '3 coloured cat' as they think it is a lucky colour. Ok, we got a match here. A reputable well-maintained temple with high walls. The main door is locked after 7pm. They have 4 mongrels as watch dogs, all are licensed and well-cared, they are caged most of the time and only let out when the temple closes at night. The dogs get 1 cooked meal (chicken/rice/veggi) in the morning and a dry food meal at night. The oldest mongrel HAPPY is 16+-year old! I bought him to Mt Pl Dr Heng when he got eye ulcer and acute glaucoma. Dr Heng is impressed too, as he was not bothered by his eye problems, kept wagging his tail non-stop on the table. His eyes could not be saved and the temple spent abt $1000 on the vet bill.
I gave Pussy to them on the condition that she was to be caged for at least 2 weeks, so as to get familiarise with the temple staff and environment.
She adapts very well :) Well-loved by everyone, including the late 90+year old and current Chief abbot. She likes to sit beside the abbot while he does his chanting or amuse everyone by climbing the mango tree.
