Exactly a week ago, My husband and I picked up a kitten, we named Sola, in an exclusive subdivision. He was so sick and was suffering from a virus called Herpes conjunctivitis that we thought he might not survive.

But Lo and behold, here are pictures of Sola now. He really has an appetite! The swelling on his eyes have subsided. I know now for a fact that he hasn’t gone blind due to the infection coz when i was cleaning his eyes, it opened. Perhaps it was the first time that he had a vision that he became soooo restless and soooo curious of his surroundings (I had difficulty taking pictures of him because I couldn’t get him to stand still). He is now a happy and playful kitten. A far cry from the kitten that we rescued a week ago who was so frail and has difficulty breathing. I hope He grows up to be a healthy big boy.

I had quiet conversations on the phone,
even if the doorbell rang.

I have read this article on the Daily Mail about a shocking move being done by beijing to their animals just to clean up their streets in preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games.

Thousands of pet cats in Beijing are being abandoned by their owners and sent to die in secretive government pounds as China mounts an aggressive drive to clean up the capital in preparation for the Olympic Games.

Hundreds of cats a day are being rounded and crammed into cages so small they cannot even turn around.

Then they are trucked to what animal welfare groups describe as death camps on the edges of the city.

The cull comes in the wake of a government campaign warning of the diseases cats carry and ordering residents to help clear the streets of them.

I chanced upon this post in the Animal Welfare Coalition (AWC) forum about the Dasmarinas Kitten massacre posted by Nancy Cu Unjieng a couple of months ago. The massacre took place in a temporary shelter, situated in one of the exclusive subdivisions in Manila and is being managed by Compassion and Responsibility for Animals (CARA) headed by Nancy Cu Unjieng.
