The rest are more expensive, either
condo, or landed
property. They think cats are wild animals an are really not domesticated animals. That is, unfortunately, true. Cats need to prowl unfettered and that tends to lead to caterwauling and lots of baby cats all over the place. I think it sucks as well, but unfortunately, you are not home. You will be in Singapore and things ain't the same as they were back home.
Nobody said nobody had cats in Singapore........ What I said is that is the ruling at HDB. Nobody spits on the sidewalk, nobody speeds, nobody litters here either. It's a fine city. And there are fine for keeping cats where they don't belong as well if one is caught. One really does need to be friends with one's neighbours though.
