The elderly woman can be seen bending downwards as the stray was eating food from a plastic bag. She then took out a piece of felt and put it around the cat’s body to see if it would fit which moved Ms Liang to capture the scene as she was ‘particularly moved’ and called her actions ‘full of love’.
Important message
The Good Samaritan was also looking after six stray dogs in the neighborhood according to Ms Liang who wants to build a warm bed for the cat after being inspired by the lady. ‘I would like to urge the public to pay more attention to stray animals,’ Ms Liang said, ‘Even if you don’t love them, please don’t hurt them,’ she urged.
