A Heartbreaking Series of Events

A heartbreaking series of events has unfolded in Marine Parade, where two sibling cats have tragically lost their lives in traffic accidents just days apart, prompting a community outcry and urgent calls for witnesses.

The Tragic Fate of BatBat

The first victim, a tuxedo cat affectionately named BatBat, was struck and killed by a speeding vehicle around midnight on November 16. Eyewitness accounts from a dedicated Facebook group called "Cats of Marine Terrace" detail how the driver accelerated towards BatBat, despite other vehicles managing to swerve and avoid the feline. Passersby attempted to confront the driver, but he vehemently denied culpability and reacted with aggression. Following the incident, a police report was lodged that same morning.

Community Appeal for Evidence

In a desperate bid to gather evidence, the group is now appealing for dash cam footage from motorists who may have been around the area during the time of BatBat’s fatal accident.

The Fate of BatBat's Brother

Tragically, as the community mourned BatBat, they also worried for his brother, who also roamed the streets seeking his sibling. Efforts were underway to find a foster home for him to prevent a similar fate. However, the situation took a devastating turn the following evening when reports confirmed that BatBat’s brother had also been killed in a traffic accident at the very same location.

Community Reactions and Calls for Action

Witnesses shared that the brother was last seen eating and seemed in good spirits shortly before the incident. A community member, Madam Tan, observed him just half an hour before the tragic event, seeing him eating happily. However, shortly thereafter, she heard a commotion and rushed to find a crowd gathered around the same spot where BatBat had perished. To her horror, she discovered the lifeless body of BatBat’s brother lying on the road.

The community is left grappling with the profound loss of these two cherished animals and questioning how such tragic coincidences could occur in a span of just two days. With a heavy heart, they continue their search for answers and any potential witnesses that could shed light on the accidents.

Calls for Increased Traffic Safety Measures

As outrage grows, many local residents are calling for increased traffic safety measures to protect the community's beloved animals. This double tragedy has ignited a conversation on responsible driving in residential areas, where the lives of not just pets, but also children and pedestrians can be at risk.

Community Appeal for Information
