The cat therapist’s ill advice resulted in the tenant being badly bitten when the cat was let out during dinner time

SINGAPORE: A tenant in an HDB flat says that the pet cat of her landlord is very aggressive and keeps attacking her. When a cat therapist was consulted, she said the cat should be allowed out during the time the tenant eats dinner so it will get used to her not being a threat. This ended up with the tenant getting bitten on her arm, which left bloody marks.

“I am very comfortable where I’m at currently, but I am at a loss… On one hand, I do understand that it isn’t right to have my safety at risk like that. But on another, I know that this room is the best I can get with this price. I just want to know whether it’s reasonable for me to continue staying on until my lease ends.

“All the while, the landlord was trying to defend herself saying ‘if I knew the cat would respond like this, i wouldn’t have taken you in’, and ‘I was trying to give it a chance’, while fully telling me a history of its bad behaviour with other strangers,” she added.
