Last Wednesday (Feb 1), cat interest group Yishun 326 Tabby Cat brought a white feline to the public’s attention. She was spotted prowling around in Ubi (you were expecting Yishun, weren’t you?), but what was different awful about her case was the tight wrapping of masking tape all over her body.
Photos of Jon Snow (yes, she was named after the Game of Thrones character) have been circulating on Facebook, as the group initially speculated that the cat was an unintentional victim of a glue trap, a controversial method designed to capture small animals like rodents. If true, that would be the better scenario, as the other possibility would be an especially evil case of animal abuse (i.e., someone physically taped the helpless cat to its current sorry state).
The following day saw little Jon transferred over to Mount Pleasant Veterinary Group to remove the tape. An update from the cat interest group highlighted how jumpy she was when the vet attempted to touch her back, forcing a decision to sedate the poor, stressed creature before they removed the tape and gave her a shave.
Seems like the vet group thought the cat could’ve been a victim of abusers who likely took advantage of her trust in them. Regardless, Jon Snow is safe now. Here’s to her speedy recovery.
