Whenever we see community cats, we might comment on how cute they are or indulge them in the occasional treat or pets.
But a couple has kept up an impressive routine to ensure their neighbourhood’s feline residents are well-fed.
A 66-year-old woman, affectionately nicknamed Cik Zie (Auntie Zie), and her husband have been feeding the cats around the Bedok Reservoir area for more than 16 years.
In a video posted to TikTok on Tuesday (Sept 22) by The Give Collective, the couple showed a glimpse into the life of a cat feeder.
Cik Zie and her husband begin preparing cat food at about 6pm every day and start their feeding rounds at 10pm, visiting nearby HDB blocks with a trolley full of meals.
The rounds take about two hours to complete, according to the video, after which Cik Zie works as a cleaner at a clinic and an assistant during the day.
They then return at about 4am to clear the plates after the cats have had their fill, and before the birds begin picking on any leftovers, the elderly woman shared.
When asked where the funds for the cat food come from, Cik Zie said: “80 per cent [is] our own money, 20 per cent from cat groups and friends.”
