*Throwback Post*
I love pets. Any type of pets. As long as its the furry fluffy cute and loves to depend on human kind of pet. Saya ni memang animal lover. I'd cry over a dead animal on the road daripada kesian dan menangis dengan random people yang hilang saudara. Serious.
sebab bagi saya binatang ni haiwan yang lemah. Akal mereka tak sebaik manusia. So if malapetaka jadi dekat these animal, how do they handle it? Kalau manusia, dah ada akal kan?
Ok back to my pet story. I remembered when I was little when my dad brought home a tiny little kitten whom I named Yuni. Yuni ni baby sangat lagi masa abah bawak dia balik. Abah jumpa dia dalam longkang. And it was raining masa tu. Yuni sebenarnya still breastfeed so bila bawak dia balik tu, abah just bancuh susu dutch lady tu je untuk dia. Dulu mana lah ada jual susu and bottle for pets kan?
Lepas tu masa tu mum ada this one carpet. I think most Malaysian home mesti ada this carpet at least satu. Carpet warna putih bulu2 tu. Yang if we sleep atas dia rasa macam tido atas awan gitu. Tau? Jap goggle image sat.
This carpet!
Jadi sebab Yuni ni baby lagi, dia rindu mama dia. So sebab carpet ni bulu dia lembut, so dia buat la carpet ni jadi mama dia. She slept on it and actually buat carpet ni jadi pacifier dia. I think I slept with her on the same carpet masa first day tu.
Bila Yuni ni dah makin remaja, beliau pun dah start nak bawak balik boyfriend masuk rumah. That's when we found Kiki. Kiki ni was a young male cat. Boyfriend si Yuni la. Tapi nyawa dia tak lama. I don't remember why he died. Saya just tahu dia sakit. And the doctor at the vet boleh siap ganti lagi Kiki with another handsome male cat whom I named Manja. Kenapa saya namakan beliau itu? Obvious sangat la kan nama dia. ;p
Nak dijadikan cerita, Manja and Yuni pun kawen and dapatlah kitten2 yang comel sangat ya rabbi. Tapi tak tau la apsal si Yuni ni tak reti nak beranak agaknya and tak reti lagi jadi mama, so most of her kittens died. Pernah sekali tu,dia beranak songsang. Badan kitten tu keluar dulu instead of kepala. Kesian gila. Masa tu I was still in kindergarden kot. Obviously I dunno what to do la. Mampu tengok je.
A few years has pass, si Yuni ni duk la asyik bunting beranak bunting beranak. Lepas tu tak reti jaga baby. Most of her babies died. The only one yang I still remembers until this day is Mr.Black. Lepas Manja died few years later and Mr.Black jadi the boss. Mr.Black ni very close with my dad. Dia yang paling dengar kata. Nak makan, mintak. Nak membuang, mintak tolong bukak pintu toilet. Sampai la he passed away sebab dah terlampau tua. Sobs.
And then after that for few years our family tak bela cats anymore. But I love cats so much that I personally adopted stray cats dekat belakang rumah. Bagi makan and all. And ada this one cat named Nani. Previous owner dia nama Noni, my neighbour belakang rumah. She left the cat for me to kept sebab her family moved to another state. So I took care of her cat sampai la si Nani ni beranak pinak and all.
Sejak jaga Nani ni lah, I started to learn more about cats and how to handle cats. Siap dah pandai jadi bidan for cats. Sebab Nani ni very attached to me. Pernah sekali tu dia meow to me loudly sebab nak bagitau yang dia nak beranak. So I setup a nice place for her to do so and teman sampai lah dia habis beranak 5 ekor kittens.
Pernah sekali tu her kittens kena bawak lari stray dogs sampai ke kawasan jauh gila. She chased the dogs away tapi macam susah nak bawak balik semua anak2 dia balik. Dia bawak balik dalam dua ekor je and nangis2 sebab lagi 3 ekor tak jumpa. (this was what my previous maid told me). She waited for me to come back from school. I straight away go to her lepas I heard the story from my maid. Lepas tu Nani ajak pergi tempat yang ada anak2 dia tu. My maid bagi small basket so that I can bawak 3 babies sekali gus.
I searched for the kittens and found all 3 of 'em dekat atas divider jalan yang berumput. Nasib baik the kittens tak masuk longkang. Neighbours dekat area tu tolong tengok je. And duk told me things yang I already knew.
When we got back, I placed the kittens dekat tempat dia balik. This time I made a net dekat their home so that dogs can't kacau them anymore. All of her kids grew up beautifully. Ingat lagi yang lepas je balik sekolah I would duduk dekat belakang rumah, and semua nak duduk on my lap. Berebut rebut sampai kadang2 tu masing2 duduk on top of each other just sebab nak sit on my lap. LOL
Tapi sebenarnya activity petang saya ni memang my parents tak suka sikit. Diorang tak suka when I played with Nani and her kids. Sebabnya, I am actually allergic to cat's fur. Stray cat's fur to be exact. Every time lepas spend time with them I would come back inside with a flu. Tapi saya kan degil, I still play and took care of those cats sampai la one day parents renovate rumah and those cats lost their home. Sobs.
For couple of months I didn't play with them sebab tak boleh nak pergi belakang rumah. Plus agaknya kucing2 tu dah takut tengok entah siapa2 la duk buat kerja dekat belakang rumah tu, dengan bunyi bising renovate lagi, so after that couple of months, I did see them again. Yang tinggal cuma 2 ekor je, Boy and Baby.
Boy ni...kucing yang paling penyayang I've ever known. Kucing jantan yang suka adopt other stray cats and bawak datang belakang rumah to see me. Pernah sekali tu, he adopt this one kitten. Tau ape die buat? He actually biarkan the kitten buat nipple dia jadi pacifier. And he was so protective of his sister, Baby. And believe it or not, this two siblings tak macam any other sibling cats yang lain. Diorang tak mate with each other. Baby siap datang bawak boyfriend. And then the boyfriend took her away. Baby pun tak balik2 dah.
During this time, my parents macam like kesian to us sebab the cats dekat belakang makin sikit and those cats pun makin lama makin nak meninggalkan kitorang ni. So they ajak us to go to a pet store. Time tu la jumpa Amanda. The most gorgeous and very sophisticated Persian cat.
Mula2 amik dia sorang je. But then dia macam lonely. So we decided to take in another cat to keep her company, Blacky. Both were just a kitten masa we brought them in. They were the sweetest couple ever. Few months after that, Amanda got pregnant. And two kittens were born. We named them Aladdin and Jasmine. Yeah. Parents yang bagi those name. ;p
But unfortunately, maybe sebab Amanda is still young and it's her first babies so die kurang tahu nak jaga babies, so Jasmine died not long after. Tinggal la Aladdin sorang. And because Aladdin was the only kitten, Amanda and Blacky took care of her macam princess. They feed her, taught her stuff; seperti meluncur dari hujung rumah ke hujung rumah. And if nak thrill lagi, lari laju2 from tangga and bila dah sampai bawah, slide! Hahahaha! Seriously, this happened.
Our cats family grew big after a few years. Amanda gave birth lagi and then there's Raphael, Micheal, Baby and then Buffy. All boys. Then a family friend gave us two Siamese cats, Tiara and Kiara. Sampai lah satu masa tu we have around 30 cats at a time. We obviously didn't keep most of 'em. Sebab banyak sangat, so parents asked us to let some of them go. Sebab tak menang tangan nak jaga. Plus we don't know siapa yang bagitau the neighbourhood pasal our cats, sebab ramai random people came to our house sebab nak beli kucing from us.
Most of the time, we kept all the cats and took care of them sampai la tiba2 ada orang datang and nak beli. Obviously, we let go yang still babies sebab yang dah besar tu means a lot to us. They're like family. No way nak let go gitu je. Ada juga yang siap dah booking awal2 masa dapat tau ada newborn. We always said yang boleh bagi bila the kittens dah putus susu je. So they have to wait.
It still hurts giving those babies away even if we didn't gave them names yet. Sedih ok. Sebab itu adik2 saya. Sobs.
Pengalaman bela kucing since kecik ni taught me alot about cats. Kitorang believe in treating this cats like family. Like human jugak. Sebab tu our cats ni a lil bit different from any other cats. Our cats ni perasan yang dia tu manusia. Ada hati dan perasaan. And they think that they are very superior than any other cats around.
Our cats ni are arrogant sangat sampai ada satu tahap tu bila one day, this one female stray cats datang sebab nak kawan dengan Frodo, all of our cats tak suka beliau sebab beliau stray cats. Except Tiara and Frodo. This two je yang layan this cat which later we named, Willow. When we sisters duk main2 with Willow and kinda force the others to main dengan dia, barulah slowly diorang accept Willow ni. Kesian dia.
Willow ni was an overly attached cat. Dia stray cat. So we layan her like one. She don't get to sleep in the cage la obviously. So every night dia sneak in and tido with my sister dekat our living room. And then bila dah senja and dah masa untuk semua cats to return to their cages, she insist us to put her in as well.
Mama cakap she invites herself. Takpelah. Adopt je dia.
And so we did.
And then few years later just months before my brother nak dapat baby. My parents give all of our cats away without telling us. All of 'em. Semua. Termasuk cages dekat belakang rumah. Everything.
I didn't know.
Sampai la petang tu lepas balik kerja, dah jadi routine untuk pergi belakang rumah untuk check on them, imagine how I feel when I saw nothing left dekat situ.
I cried so hard. Sebab I lost my brothers and sisters.
I can't even let myself to do laundry at home anymore. Sebab doing laundry means I have to pergi belakang rumah and tengok the empty place. I kenot. And I couldn't even remember pun berapa tahun tak jejak kaki dekat belakang rumah sebab tak sanggup nak tengok and teringat dekat adik adik kucing.
My sisters were devastated as well bila dapat tau yang our cats are no longer in our care.
And then 2 years ago, my sister pergi pet show and SPCA offers cats for adoption. They secretly adopted a cat. We didn't tell our parents about him until after a few months. Now, kitorang ada sekor je kucing. Satu je baby. Dia lah pengarang jantung hati for us family. Even my brother's daughter love him so much.
And he, also, sigh, tak tau lah apa silap ajaran kami ni dekat dia, tapi he is very arrogant as well. Dia ni taknak kawan dengan any stray cats. Only cats with a collar je can be his friends. Tapi these friends, tak boleh stay in the same home with him. Why? Sebab dia sorang je baby. No one else boleh amik tempat dia. NO.
Sigh
Ok. ;p
