Ever since CP became an active CNRM practitioner, she has been doing her bit to help educate and encourage her neighbours to do the same.
First, it was her neighbour, Mrs Wong, and next, it's a Filipino domestic helper who has been feeding cats for many years. In fact, it was this helper, May, who had been feeding Mimi, Didi and Manja before they became CP's resident-cats.
Yesterday, May managed to catch a young mother-cat who is done breast-feeding. Her kittens can already eat on their own.
CP brought the cat for spaying under our sponsorship this morning.
They call her Little Missy.
Missy on the way to the vet's. CP thinks she missed her kittens. But she's done now and is back home with her kittens.
And in the course of catching Missy, guess who else happened to be caught as well?
Well, it's none other than the other terrorist on the street - Nonsense!
Nonsense and Blackie are the chief terrorists on CP's street. They even go as far as enter CP's gate and take over her front porch.
Now, is that brave or what? Feline bravery and aggression, both rolled into one. And when the Terrorist-Two attacks, Manja will be at the forefront protecting her son, Didi and daughter-in-law, Mimi.
It has been very difficult to catch Nonsense. Blackie was caught and already neutered (he was a cryptorchid - one testicle undescended), but in the process of being in the trap, he destroyed the springs and banged his head on the trap so badly that CP swore she will never use the trap ever again!
So, the Chief Terrorist was caught today....
This is Nonsense.
Posing for the camera?
When I heard Nonsense had been caught, I happened to be at the vet's with another case, so I simply HAD to go visit and pay my respects to his legendary cat-person.
Good evening, kind sir...
(I gently lifted the cloth covering the cage. Nonsense looked at me.)
Pleased to finally meet your acquaintance, sir.
I did not want to stress him any further with my presence, so I quickly covered back the cage and politely took my leave.
It's "bad" enough that a cat of his social standing (that of "Chief Terrorist") had been caught, so I need to accord a fair amount of respect to him by not making him feel like he's a spectacle or an exhibit for the human's victory.
Since Nonsense had his meal at 10am, he was only neutered at 6pm this evening. CP brought him back a bit groggy, but he is alright now.
Both the spaying and neutering of Missy and Nonsense are sponsored from our funds.
Now, here's how Nonsense got caught, as related by CP:
(Abbreviation: LM = Little Missy)
May just told me how she caught Nonsence. Actually the day after we released Blackie, my husband and son used thick strings to tie to the cage door so that we could pull the string from a distance to close the door. However we didn't get to put that to practise as Mrs Wong wanted the cage to 'train' her cat to get used to the cage.
Anyway, May used this string to catch the 2 kittens this morning as the LM was crying for her kittens. She put LM into the carrier and took her to the back alley to see her kittens. She also put the cage and tie the string to her back window grilles. She told me the kittens were smart - they circled round the cage but won't get into the cage although there were kittens kibbles inside. And all these while, Nonsence was around them, looking after them (ahh... these kittens could be his - more on this shortly). And Nonsence couldn't resist the kibbles so in he went - but only half-body in. At that point, May who was inside the kitchen saw the string moved so she went to the window to peep - Nonsence couldn't reach the kibbles which had dropped deep inside the cage, so he went further in and May pulled the string to close the door. :)
May noticed that Nonsence was always with LM whenever they go to her house for food. And the touching part is - just like MiMi and DiDi's story - he slept on top of the cage where LM was locked in last night. This morning since LM was in the front, he looked after the 2 remaining kittens at the back alley - there was initially 3 kittens (one of mixed-persian look which has since gone missing)
He was neutered around 6pm so he slept through the journey back home around 7pm. (i got my elder son who was at KTM carrefour to walk over to HR and wait with him outside HR due to the terrible and horrible jam outside Sunway Pyramid - it took me 45 mins to reach HR!!)
Oh and th vet said he's probably only 1 yr ++ -= looks healthy with nice teeth but lots of 'fight' marks on his body! Mrs Wong told me he chased DiDi twice this morning around 7+ - 8am. DiDi was all fluffed up - hopefully he will be tamed after this.
And the other vet said LM is estimated between 9 mths - 1 yr max.
What a story! Kudos to May, CP and everyone involved.
Now, Little Missy will not get pregnant again, and Nonsense will not sow his oats anymore, and hopefully, he will not be a terrorist anymore, too!
