The reversal of a 35-year ban on #cats in public housing apartments that went into effect this year in Singapore was a big deal for cat people. But gray areas remain on how the city-state will manage its feline population. @mikeives in @nytimes nytimes.com/2024/11/09/wor… #Singapore

vmramos's tweet card. The reversal of a 35-year ban on cats in public housing won’t be a quick fix for cat-related problems. It’s not even clear how many cats live in the city-state.
