We finally saw the mother cat and her two kittens. Ah Wai uncle said that it was first time the mother cat come to look for people. We knew that was the power of St Anthony!
Clara and Isaac named the kittens. They decided that the ginger cat be called Taco and the tabby cat be called Mochi. We had name the unisex names to the kittens because we did not know the sex of the kittens.
We went home on Saturday with no kittens, but we were happy we had progress -- got to know the mother cat and the kittens. We would want to come back on Sunday to bring home the kitten. It was arranged that we would go to the company on Sunday 9.30am.
However, on Sunday, early in the morning, Ah Wai uncle called. He got covid virus. He was not able to pick mum up for work. So my mother did not want to go work on that day. When I broke the news to the children, Isaac was sad. He wanted to go back to the company. So my mum agreed to go. And we took bus there. However, it rained when we were taking bus 255 this time. We had to wait for the bus to get lighter at the bus stop.
We dashed into the company when the rain was lighter. We quickly went straight to see whether Zhi Hao got managed to capture the two kittens for us a not. He did not manage to see the kittens. He said he only see the mother cat in the morning. When we had reached there, we saw the mother cat. We brought her food this time, proper cat food. She ate a lot.
Soon the kittens came out. They too was eating the food. The two kittens appeared, sharing their food on the palette. We quickly told Zhi Hao to help us. Zhi Hao quickly came to help us catch the kitten.
He captured Taco first. I got hold of him and transfer him to the carrier. About 5 minutes later, he caught Mochi too. However, when trying to put him inside the carrier, he escaped.
After that, we always looked for opportunities to capture Mochi, but in vain. They were more cautious now and on that day, we left the place with Taco only.
