Fate or destiny

 

                                 Stray cats at Fu Shan Garden on 14 March 2019


Dora was the one in the middle

One afternoon when Isaac came back from school, he saw an incredible sight.  It was the dinosaur playground filled with many cats.  He quickly came home to tell me.  He said he wanted to have a cat.  

As it was my lunch time, I had to rush back to work.  So I quickly went to the playground to have a look.  Wow, there were so many cats, as many as ten!  All the cats were lying around, not moving at all.  Some were adults some were kittens.  We did not know which one to pick.  Then I just heard pick the grey one.  I saw the grey one and I carried it.  I put it in my bicycle's basket and we brought it home.  

The children wanted to name it Dora.  The children were excited to have Dora at home.  I did not know how Dora behaved as I went to work.  When I came home in the evening, I bathed her.  The next day we brought her to the vet to deworm and had vaccination.  The vet told us that she was about two months old.  

From that day onwards, Dora became our family.  As each day passed by, we love her more and more.  She was so adorable and sweet.  

Dora was very skinny.  The vet said she was underweight.  Under our care, she looked better and better each day.  She was so beautiful.  But it was too short a life for her.  She was only 3 years with us, so healthy and pretty.  

If we did not bring her home, what would her life be now?

Sleeping Box

 Walked past these cardboxes and it reminded me of Dora.  These were taken at one of the block of  Bukit Batok flat, the void deck that is opposite of a bridal shop.  The cat was not there.  After I walked out of the void deck, I saw the cat as shown below.

Dora loves to sleep in boxes too.  Unlike dogs, cats do not like to sleep with people.  I am not sure about other cats, but that applies to Dora.  Dogs can sleep with you on your bed for long hours, whereas cats will not even stay long on your bed.

Dora just like to sleep in boxes so much.  Whenever there are any box lying around, she would go in to sleep.  If the boxes were put at a place long enough, she will chew and tear the boxes too.

There is no need to buy expensive cat house for the cat.  I bought the cat castle when Dora was one year old.  She hardly sleep in it.  She would choose to sleep in boxes instead.
