As I was about to move the garbage out this morning, I saw what I feared.
The weird Chinese couple were bundling an innocent, struggling cat placed in a cage onto their open boot.
Cat hater's truck is something like this google image
And I looked at their direction while placing the rubbish bags outside.
His wife glared angrily and immediately used the word 'orang gila'/mad person.
What other words she fired became incoherent to me.
I asked with a load of panic.
"Do you have a cat in your bonnet?"
What are you all doing?
Can't remember what she spewed out.
She called out for her hubby who came out angrily from the front seat and yelled.
"What's your problem?!"
Nasty words were hurled.
I said they cannot abuse animals.
Told him it's 100k or 6 months jail.
Even if it's 20,000 he proudly declared he can pay.
He is now purposely baiting stray cats to come in.
How many sorry strays does he plan to trap?
The war of words began across with me unable to match his thunderous, hurtful remarks.
Probably my upset pitch was a bit stronger than his missus.
Bangsat/ pauper was continuously rubbed on me.
I am fully aware I am not at all rich.
Nyanyuk/senile, mad and God knows what.
Sewa rumah/renting i.e. not a house owner..God knows what else.
I had to swallow the frustration of being a low Malay fighting with a prosperous, Chinese couple..they have a lovely house with two expensive cars etc
What's the connection with not owning the house I'm staying in?
So Melayu bangsat is it?
When I call him "you bangsat balik", he took the liberty of accusing me of being a racist, and telling him to go back to China.
Even called me a DAP!
And so was the most unexpected, stressful commotion.
He welcomed me calling the police.
When the patrol car did not arrive quickly, he sarcastically asked whether they are coming from Bukit Aman.
He rushed later to the Malay policeman to show his letter of report to MPPJ.
That he has a right to capture any cat within his compound and send it off to MPPJ.
How he gave me a teasing glee from his gate when he won his case.
And so if you pass by this cat hater's house at 5/3 Sepah Puteri, Kota Damansara, you will see an animal trap cage at his front porch.

However, when they plonked the cat in the open boot, it was already transferred into a normal cage.
Did MPPJ provide them with the trap and cage or did they opt to buy them, and take matters into their own hands?
In the ensuing spat, he warned me that my regular stray cat would be handled the same if it goes into his compound.
The stray mommy cat that was caught was a regular passer by from down the road.
Probably she was hungry and searching for some food.
If she had kits, they will surely wonder why she didn't come home today..or ever.
I got a quick glance of her when the policeman wanted to take a look.
Mr Corky Bastard shouted at me not to enter his garage.
As though..I didn't even think of doing so.
I was merely standing in front of his gate curious which was the unlucky feline.
Am so disheartened I didn't manage to let her go free.
Yeah..I know her.
I have seen her plying down the road a few times and snoozing under a car.
She may not be the one who peed on his shoes, and she may possibly have an owner.
Nevertheless, he insisted it was a nuisance stray.
...but with more shades of grey and white
A few weeks ago, a friend's stray male cat was severely bashed.
Not everybody's wandering cat has a collar.
Heartless people will ultimately get their karma.
p.s.
He placed a huge no parking sign by the side of his plants in front all this while.
The road is not his, unless he has paid MPPJ for the space.
