Photo 5 My son with their cat "Onion". Note the 'docked' tail. Back in the sixties all cats in Singapore seemed to have "damaged" tails. I was told that it was a Chinese custom to do this as only perfect creatures were admitted to heaven. So cats were treated thus so they'd not displace a human when the time came?

Photo 2 Our amah, Foo Kwee Moi. How incredible it seems today that the R.A.F. would pay for us to have a servant!
