Average of 5 cats found dead monthly after falling from a height: CWS
Average of 5 cats found dead monthly after falling from a height: CWS

SINGAPORE: An average of five cats are found dead in Singapore each month after falling from a height and most of these are pet cats, the Cat Welfare Society (CWS) said, stressing the importance of home owners meshing up windows to prevent such deaths.
Speaking to Channel NewsAsia on Wednesday (Dec 21), CWS committee member Veron Lau said the estimates are based on alerts sent to CWS, as well as from posts on social media.
About 95 per cent of the cats killed in such a manner are pet cats rather than community cats which roam around the estate and are taken care of by designated feeders, said CWS senior outreach manager Laura Ann Meranda. Typically, when a cat has fallen from a height, there will be blood around its mouth, wounds on its back, and its chest will be compressed in a certain manner, she added.
"We usually do not classify (such cases) as abuse unless there is a witness as it would be speculation, but blunt trauma at jaw and chest is usually ascertained to be fallen from height - thrown or otherwise," said Ms Lau.
Last week, a resident in Marsiling alleged that her pet cat was thrown from a block of flats, in a "senseless act of violence" by an unknown perpetrator. The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority has said it is investigating.
CWS' Ms Meranda said generally, it is difficult to tell if a cat fell by itself, or was thrown from a high spot, but to find out if it was an act of menace, CWS will look at the location where the cat was found to see if it was near a block with a ledge or window, or if it has other wounds such as stab wounds or rope around its body parts.
DEALING WITH DEAD OR DISTRESSED CAT CASES
Typically, CWS finds out about these cases through members of the public who alert their town council when they find a dead cat in their estate. The town council gets in touch with CWS to get it removed, and the group's members will take photos and put up posters around the estate and post notices on social media to find the cat's owner - or feeder, if it is a community cat, Ms Meranda said.
Thereafter, the cat's caregiver will decide if the cat's body should be sent for an autopsy to determine its cause of death, or to get it cremated.
CWS said it strongly advocates keeping pet cats indoors and meshing up windows and gates, sharing video of a dramatic rescue of a cat which had fallen onto an apartment ledge.
Ms Lau told Channel NewsAsia that CWS frequently gets calls to help rescue cats and relies on contract trappers for assistance.
It also takes care to ensure that people who foster cats put up for adoption have properly meshed up windows in their homes. "The cats under foster care are usually placed in a cage because it's better to have them in a confined space before they get used to a larger space, but we normally walk the (people fostering) through the process of taking care of the cats and if they did not mesh up their windows, we will advise them to," she said.

Cat found dead at Marsiling block in case of alleged abuse
Cat found dead at Marsiling block in case of alleged abuse
Posted 19 Dec 2016 20:33 Updated 20 Dec 2016 00:53
SINGAPORE: The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) is looking into a case of a cat that was found dead at the foot of a block in Marsiling on Friday evening.
Nur Irdhawany, 22, posted photos on Twitter of the white cat at the foot of Block 217, Marsiling Crescent, saying that her cat had died in a "senseless act of violence".
The cat, named Casper, had been a day shy of turning eight months old, the part-time student told Channel NewsAsia on Monday (Dec 19). The cat was allowed to roam around the block from 7pm each day and would usually return by 8pm. On Friday night however, Casper had not returned home by 9.15pm, she said.
It was Ms Irdhawany's sisters who later found Casper's body. "My mum had already rushed down before (I did). She called the police while I tried to feel for Casper's heartbeat," she said.
"I know someone threw him down because he didn't know how to climb or jump."

"It's heartbreaking because he really is very harmless and a lot of people around my neighbourhood recognise him," Ms Irdhawany added.
Besides Casper, Ms Irdhawany said the family has two other cats, Casper's mother, and its sibling. In her photos, Casper's mother was seen sitting beside the dead cat before it was taken away.
"There are a lot of cat carers in my area (who) feed stray cats, so I felt safe in letting them roam around a little," said Ms Irdhawany, adding that a neighbour living on the block's seventh floor had seen Casper playing with their slippers at 7pm.
She added that her family has made a police report.
In response to queries by Channel NewsAsia, a spokesperson said that AVA is aware of the case and is looking into it.
Cat Welfare Society spokesperson Veron Lau told Channel NewsAsia that the case appeared similar to another that occurred earlier this month, in which a cat was reportedly found dead on the doorstep of a flat, also in Marsiling.
Ms Lau said that both cats were suspected to have fallen from heights.
She added that while the Cat Welfare Society was aware of the case, no one has come forward to report it, which meant that a case cannot be properly investigated. "This is one of the issues we face in ascertaining if an abuse case reported online is genuine," she said.
However, she said that the phenomenon of cats falling from a height "is very real" and that the Cat Welfare Society receives reports of about five cats falling from heights each month.

SINGAPORE: A 25-year-old Singaporean man was charged on Wednesday (Dec 14) for two counts of animal cruelty, after he allegedly caused the death of a cat in Tampines.
Fajar Ashraf Fajar Ali is accused of throwing the cat down six storeys from Block 884, Tampines Street 83 at about 1.40am on May 26. Nearly an hour later, at 2.30am, Fajar allegedly slammed the cat’s body on the ground twice.
A witness said Fajar had also burned the cat with a lighter.
The grey feline was found dead at the block with blood oozing from its mouth, according to the Cat Welfare Society.
Fajar was arrested on May 31. In court on Wednesday, he said he would plead guilty to the two charges on Jan 9.
Channel NewsAsia understands that Fajar works as a bar supervisor.
Under the Animals and Birds Act, first-time offenders found guilty of animal cruelty can be fined up to S$15,000, jailed up to 18 months, or both. For subsequent offences, the maximum fine is S$30,000 or a jail term of up to three years, or both.
