The first thing you see when you enter the home of Mr Josiah Zee is a cute mural of a pile of cats on the living room wall. Peer closely and you will spot two dogs amid the feline frenzy, depictions of late pets belonging to the home owners.

The mural, painted by artist Stephanie Raphaela Ho aka Muffinsaurs, was commissioned by Mr Zee, 33, a corporate counsel with a multinational company, and his wife, a junior college teacher.
