There is a new literary aspect whereby several well-known cat lovers in different fields - such as Goh Boon Teck, Karen Tan, Alfian Sa'at, Ginette Chittick, Irene Ang and Tung Soo Hua - have contributed original prose, poems and short stories that are dedicated or inspired by cats! Proceeds raised go to the ‘Cat Welfare Society’ www.catwelfare.org
