Another netizen claimed that the HDB flat is notorious for bad owners, adding that she had picked up another cat from the area that was ridden with fleas.
After doing so, she was allegedly harassed by members of the neighbourhood.
Ms Tan also shared that the owner’s direct neighbours dared not approach them as the owners would “behave like gangsters”.
