Good Sunday to all,
Let's see what happens on a peaceful Sunday.


Dealing With Cats.


Mr. Fah See Chin loved dogs when he was young, but not anymore as
he now lives in a bungalow where the indiscriminate defecation by
dogs and cats nauseates him. See Chin never did like cats, unlike
some of his neighbours who would feed the roaming cats. Cats can
be a real nuisance, and their behaviour is totally different from
that of dogs. And for See Chin, having the cats shitting in his
garden,sneaking into his kitchen and bedroom, and warming themselves
on the bonnet of his expensive BMW was beyond his tolerance.

Although See Chin had added a wire netting to his gate and fence,
cats still prowled around his house. The last straw came when some
cat vomited on the roof of his BMW. That really got his goose, and
from then on he set his mind to find a way to terminate the presence
of anything feline.

One day, while he was collecting his car from the service station, he
slipped on a ball-bearing. Despite the fall he had, he was happy with
the idea that came with it. He asked the mechanic for a few more
ball-bearings. On his way home, he stopped by a HDB department store
and bought a metal catapult. He reminisced to himself about his
younger days of shooting birds, lizards and other creatures, and
gloated at his present intentions.

Sunday came. The cats also came. See Chin was ready. The cats
meowed below the pair of fish tanks placed against the wall of the
porch. One contained his prized arrowana and the other a pair of his
lucky lohans. See Chin moved stealthily behind his main door with
a ball-bearing in the saddle of his catapult. The cats, aware of his
presence, ran off.

But cats, being hateful to some, manifested their nature here. They
retreated, but stayed just a distance away and stared back, their
eyes mocking him. See Chin aimed, pulled the catapult and let go.
Simultaneously, a combination of sound issued. The cats shrieked,
flipped about and scooted. Pinknng, crack, slosh, splash, flap, flop,
etc. sounded. See Chin stood bewildered. Everything happened
almost instantaneously. What had happened?

The ball-bearing had missed the cats which were too fast for him; it
hit the gate post and ricocheted smack at his lohan aquarium,
cracking the side glass. The glass broke, and his pair of lucky lohan
splashed out with the water and were flapping about on the floor. The
floor was a big mess, covered with water and glass pieces and his
lohan injured. There was urgent work for him, on a beautiful Sunday.

Just one shot without any good result, and there was such damage.
Poor Mr. Fah See Chin, outwitted by a pair of cats.

Have a nice day.
