if you’ve been on the internet long enough, you know there’s an animal we (almost) all love.
Cats.
And if you live in Redhill, you might know about the community cat known as ‘Garfield’ or ‘Orange’.
The writer is trying not to gush about how cute the cat is.
However, a recently circulated Facebook post mentioned that the cat has passed away.
According to a Facebook page Cats of Redhill, Garfield was allegedly eaten by a python in the morning near a pedestrian bridge at Block 92 Henderson Road.
As of this writing, the post has garnered around 670 likes, 250 comments and has over 1500 shares.
Community In Shock
Be it animal or person, it’s only natural that the community is upset by the loss.
There were many in the comments who expressed sadness over Garfield’s passing.
Yet, some residents also felt that there was no proof that Garfield was eaten.
Wait, what python?!
Python Captured At The Same Spot
This video was posted 10 hours before Garfield’s announcement and showed a large reticulated python being captured.
This species is native to Singapore and usually eats smaller animals like mice and, unfortunately, cats.
They also don’t really get aggressive unless they’re provoked or attacked first.
And where was this video taken? At Block 92 Henderson Road.
If you have a fear of snakes, I suggest avoiding this video. It’s a pretty huge snake, too.
In it, onlookers watch as two men try to bait the bloated-looking reticulated python into the cage.
Police officers were also seen in the video.
Wildlife rescue group Acres explained that a cat’s curiosity may make them easy food if they got too close to it.
“We feel sorry for the loss of the beloved cat. It is unfortunate but these are some of the risks community animals will face in our urban landscape. They are all animals trying to survive,” Acres said in a statement.
With tall grass growing especially around HDBs, do take care if you see something like a python.
You can call the Acres wildlife rescue hotline at 9783 7782 or NParks at 1800-476-1600 should you need assistance.
Most of all, never go and provoke a python, even if it won’t eat you.
