How I Got to Rear My Cats

A personal story in the experience: I Have a Cat
I have a cat.

It all started when i was 15yrs old. Around my neighbourhood, there's a group of cats. They're adorable! Whenever i'm free, i'll get some food to feed them.

There's 2 cats in auburn colour, and 2 in black. I'm quite fond of the 2 auburn colour ones! So i make it a point everyday to play with them. Initially my parents doesn't let us bring cats to home, but soon, they said nothing. My mom is fond of them, soon they became part of our family.

Actually, we wanted to bring them to sterilize, but we're abit too late~ the female cat, whom we named Mama was pregnant!!! Argh~~ but it's ok~~ she had her 1st experience of giving birth in my mom's closet~~ the 1st baby died~~ poor thing~~ the other 3 lived.

The kittens are cute!! but too many cats~ so we gotta give away one of the kittens~~ Some time later, my other male tabby cat name Gong gong, was injured~~ oh my he look so feeble~~ some arsehole kicked his rear~~ and made him can't control his urine and wag his tail~~ The hospital vet told us that he can't be cured~~ it's either we put him to slp or give the best care we can. It's seems cruel to put him slp~ we decided to bring him home.

It's really a chore to take care of gong gong~~ we have to mop the urine every now and den~~ No choice till we caged him up. few mths later~~ he passed away in his cage. i missed the days that he shared pillow with me, cheer me up when i'm feeling lousy~~ though he had passed away for 3 yrs, i still remember him deep in my heart.

Another of my baby cat passed away 2 yrs back. She's a darling that my whole family will remembered. When her ash urn was send back to us, i broke down and cried. Both of my cats were buried in a peaceful pasture where no one will disturb the eternal resting~~

Up till date, i sill have MaMa and one of her baby wif us.

One of my cats was paralyzed, but it happened differently than what happened to Gong Gong. Star had cancer inside her spinal column, and the tumor crushed her spinal cord. After paying $2000 of medical bills trying to see if there was anything to be done, we finally had to put her to sleep. She was only 3 years old, so even if we were to operate to remove the tumor, she had only a 50% chance of recovering use of her rear legs, and there was a high chance of the cancer coming back. We didn't think it was fair for her having suffered so much already, and we loved her so much we didn't want her pain to continue. So we put her to sleep. ;_; It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. It's been 3 years now and I still miss her every day.

Thanks for the comment guys! Well, i guess pets and humans are the same in such a way that they do fall sick like humans. I just hate people torturing all this poor animals. They're just harmless little babies finding a way to live~~ I dun think it's wrong by giving food to stray cats. Only people who doesn't like it will cook up all sorts of excuses to get rid of them.

Allie, you have a kind and loving heart. Even tho you have lost some of your cats, they had a better life with you and your family than they would have otherwise. They knew love and caring. I'm so glad that you still have two to love. They are very lucky cats. We all need to do whatever we can to make the lives of some poor animals better. It helps us grow into better people, and helps them grow in spirit too. Bless you!

Hey guys, sorry for not logging in for a long time. Been quite busy with sch exams and work! Thanks for all the comments. Yep, having domestic animals around makes us a better person. To be caring, to improve our character and principles and the animals well being. I can't stand arseholes that are out to torture animals. In singapore recently, there's one news about kittens being mutilated!! that was damn sad and i'm grossed with the ugliness of what people ARE capable in doing!!!
