People living in Housing Board flats will soon be allowed to keep cats, with a proposal by the Government to lift a ban of more than 30 years on cat ownership in public flats in the works.

Two cats will be allowed for each HDB flat and three cats for each private residence under a proposed framework on cat management announced by Senior Minister of State for National Development Tan Kiat How.
