If Only Cats Were As Clever As Dogs...

I hate it when incident like this happens, in front of my very eyes... I'll go all sad and teary...

As usual, hubby would fetch me up from work and we'll be riding our way home on his bike together... My mood then was actually pretty happy coz I've done most of my end month reports and I planned to laze around with the babies as soon as I got home... So we were stopping at the traffic light junction somewhere at Chong Pang Central towards Yishun MRT and that's when I heard hubby saying, "Ya Allah!! Astaghfirullah..." So I turned my head to where hubby was looking at and to my horror, I saw this little cat lying helplessly in the middle of the road with its face injured, you know, like it's been ran down by a car or something, and it's trying very hard to survive... Seriously, the cat's face was totally distorted with parts of the eyes splattered on the road, jaws crushed and tongue sticking out while the cat itself was still alive and in pain coz it was kicking it legs hysterically...

I can't do a single thing but to just watch it helplessly being carried away by some kind hearted pedestrians (may Allah bless you people)... I felt so guilty for not helping the poor cat... Really guilty...

Then, all of a sudden, I started having this flashback memory of myself rescuing this little kitten that had been ran down by a moving vehicle... It happened 3 years ago, a few days before my wedding... I was on my way to work, waiting for the bus at the neighbourhood bus stop. Saw this cute little kitten, she was lying on the grass patch, meow-ing... She doesn't even look like she's injured or something... You know me, being a cat lover, I would play around with all kinds of cats that I bumped into... So I stroke the kitten's fur with my hands la and that's when I realised that the kitten's lower body was ran down by a vehicle coz there was blood coming out from her anus and everything... She was basically trying her very best to crawl towards me... By then, I was crying like crazy and going all panicky... I don't even give a hoot whether anyone saw in what kind of state I was... Called my boss and told her that I'll be coming to the office in the afternoon... Then, called my mom, telling her to meet me at where I am coz I've a seriously injured kitten with me... Mom came in a split second... By then, there was blood all over my hands and clothing (coz I was carrying the poor kitten)... Mom hailed for a cab and we rushed to the SPCA as soon as possible...

Reached there, did the necessary procedures and everything... The part which saddens me the most was when the vet told me that the little kitten couldn't be save coz she had severe internal injuries and chances for her to survive was very slim, she just won't make it... The kitten had to be put to sleep... I tell you, I was crying like crazy... Tears were rolling down my cheek and it felt like my heart had just crushed into pieces coz I did everything I could but luck was just not on my side... I was devastated...

I've had other sad animal encounters too... Till now, those memories are still fresh in my mind...But this one had really touched my heart so...

I've seen bloody ass humans trying to abuse animals... And me, coming at the right time to save them by chance... Then, brought them to the animal shelter where they were being well taken care of...

"Eh!! You stupid idiot!! You got no freaking brain ah? What you did is wrong and I can complain to the police you know or not?!! They are living things!! How can you do that you bloody @#%*!!" This is what I would usually say to those heartless animal abusers whom I accidentally bumped into... I would make a big hoo-haa and shout at them...By then, these heartless idiots would go all terrified of their wrongdoings and started running away... pfft... (coward jackass)

So yeah... I'm an animal lover and cats are my most favourites... Being too over sensitive sometimes took a toll on me... Matters like this would drag on me for days... Crying that sort of thing, asking myself why are there so many bad stuffs happening around in this world... You know even all those stuffs on war la, child abuse la, anything sad la... I would go all teary... Laki aku cakap, aku ni terlalu the very the sensitive...

I've 1 cat at home and his name is Black. He looks like a miniature black panther and that's how he got his name... We found him stranded by the side of the road in the heavy rain, meow-ing and shivering... Black was a tiny little kitten then... So we brought him home, fed him and took care of him till now.. He's been so attached to me... Oh! And he LOVES eating DURIANS.. I mean the REAL THING!! He could finish up the whole fruit all by himself... Tak pernah aku nampak kucing yang pandai makan durian... Bile dapat Black ni kan... Macam pelik jugak tengok diye sebat tu durian sampai licin... :) Well, you could actually say that I've 4 cats in the beginning and all were brought home coz they were all stranded and been left astray... Nak dikatakan aku banyak pungot kuceng la (banyak giler) and all, out of pure sympathy... Lepas tu, da berikan cukop makan and everything, I would sent them to the animal shelter... My parents were always nagging at me... But I always tell them, "If it's not for us, animal lovers, who would wanna help all this helpless animals? No one will... No one..."

So back to the incident that I saw at the traffic junction... Hubby went out again late in the evening to check on the poor little cat... But it couldn't be found... Perhaps a good Samaritan had taken it to the animal shelter, or perhaps some jackass had dumped it into a bin... Whatever the possibility maybe, I know the little cat won't make it... He just won't... I hope and pray, Allah will take its soul away as soon as possible to release it from the pain that it's going thru... Amin...

If only cats were as clever as dogs (as you know, dogs are very intelligent animals), there would be lesser death tolls on the cats population... Perhaps, it's Allah's way of doing His things... Wallahualam...

I just can't help thinking about the whole incident... :(
