Tribute to our missing loves….. Oh God! Please take care of them, if they are still alive, don’t let them suffer.. My husband & I love them so much….
It was rather mystic that one followed by another one of our beloved ones suddenly disappeared from home - and couldn’t be traced, we had searched and asked around our neighbourhood , giving vivid description of our missing cats but nobody had seen them. No sign of death whatsoever. It was very sad indeed not to have them around anymore – so suddenly. They were at home during the night, before we went to bed but weren’t at home any more the next morning. The first one to disappear was Arthur, about 2 ½ month old. He was Combi’s son. Combi gave birth at home, in a place we prepared for her in our store, but few days after giving birth, Combi took her three kitten away – to a hideout - our the roof! Two and a half month later, she brought home only one kitten – Arthur. It was in December 2011, at that time, we had just found and bought home Merlin, who was about Arthur’s age. So they played together. Even though Arthur always gave me headaches, finding ways to stop his bad habit of not ‘throwing’ his waste in the toilet like other cats at home, I still missed him and searched for him the day he didn’t come back home
Then Murai was missing, Murai, a young male about 8-month-old cat. A very cute – slight orange coloured fur, playful, energetic and loving cat. He was named Murai because of his frequent ‘meow’ – very ‘talkative’ indeed. I miss him so much especially when I come home from work because it was him who always ‘greeted’ and jumped to the driver’s seat when I opened the gate. He really loved playing and scratching the car – and every time I had to carry him out because he wouldn’t want to be out of the car once he had got in.
Murai was with us at a very young age – perhaps 2 ½ month old. My husband saw him sleeping on my neighbor’s car tire just before the car was about to move. My husband shouted out loudly to stop the car. Alhamdullilah, Murai survived. From then on, Murai became one of our beloved pets.
Next to vanish was ‘Kembang’, we called him that because his fur was a bit fluffy especially his tail. He came to our house, when he was about 8 month-old, with a very terrible and horrifying look – with face and body covered with skin disease, in Malay, we call it ‘kurap’. Thanks to my kind–hearted husband, who, without any undesirable feelings, applied used cooking oil daily on those ‘kurap’ and turned kembang into a very beautiful cat. Kembang was a good, well behaved cat.
We also lost ‘Parsi’, our dear Persian cat who came to our house with her baby kitten, whom we named Bobby. She was the nicest cat we have ever had, in term of the look -the wonderful fur. We beg she belongs to someone but unfortunately, there was nobody looking for a missing cat. It was very fortunate for us to have her. During her stay, she gave birth to 3 lovely Persian kittens but they died 3 days after they were born. To overcome her sadness, she breast fed Ying Luck’s babies. At first, Ying Luck didn’t seem to mind but later on, when her babies were more close to Parsi, Ying Luck began to dislike and chased Parsi away from her babies. Perhaps, that was the reason why Parsi left home, without even thinking of her 2 month-old Bobby.
Just last week, another new additional kitten came for only three days and two nights and disappeared. He was Jimmy, a cute little kitten, no idea from where he came but he was so calm and brave in facing those cats at home, he seemed to like Bobby, as he always went to sleep next to Bobby. To bad to have him around so short a time.
Our wishes to all our beloved cats......Take care ... and feel free to come back home..we love you all so much.
