“It was pretty stressful not being able to go out during the pandemic. There were no sensory activities available at home except our pets. “Our cats are well behaved and not naughty. When they’re hungry, they’ll ask for food. They have their own sandbox to relieve themselves. When they want interaction, they will come and sit next to you,” he says.On April 1, the country’s transition to the endemic phase started, but there isn’t much difference to Muzariah who has been working throughout the pandemic.

Sariffudin, 53, is a consultant and has been working from their home in Petaling Jaya, even before the pandemic. “The other one was during the floods in Shah Alam. The pet shop owner couldn’t take care of the cat because the shop was flooded, so he asked me for help. He gave me the cat because circumstances made it difficult for him to look after it,” she adds.
