my mom saw him laying on the tarmac, under her car. so she told him,"
kalau nk ikot aku blk, tgu kat cni pas abes skolah ye." (ya, all of my family members have a talking-to-cats syndrome). and there he was, still sleeping on the table near my mom's car. so he was brought home and named Belang.
lots of cat come and go. but none of them is as special as him. dont get me wrong. i looovveee all my cats. citam, nandos, kfc, mcd, laila, abu, kenet..ok, ive lost track of all their names. sigh. lemme briefly describe this one particular cat.
- he only makan rice mixed with ikan rebus
- he didn't eat kulit ayam goreng
- he didn't like to share. it's either he had his own plate of rice or he will just wait till everycat was done eating
- he miow when my mom locked him out of her room at nite
- he had special weird miow-voice
- when he's in a bad mood, it's better if everyone stayed away from him
- he scratched everyone but my dad
- he greeted my dad when he returned home
- he came back home when he heard our cars
- he could open the oven's door
- he's good in stealing food on the table
there are still a lot of things that i can list up about him. but too many! phew. and why past tense? coz he's gone. our dearest prince of the house is no more there. it is said that when the cat knows that the time has come, the cat will go away as far as possible from its owner. most of our cats were like that. including him. he just went missing. and never come back. and my dad never talk about him anymore after that...
it breaks our hearts. all of us. 4 years with him. he's the best cat after Tompok, who died after being ran over by a car (fuck you driver). but yeah, we all know that all animals will be in heaven after they die. im sure he's a looott happier now, right Belang? we all love and miss you and still do. and i guess, you left us with Comel eh? he really looks like you! his fatness and cuteness and the way he sleeps. but the only different is, he's not as fierce as you. no cat as fierce as you btw. hoho. love ya doll!
oh, forgot to tell. he's sooo feymes in our neighbourhood that months after he went missing, the neighbour in front of our house asking,
jiran: Belang mane ek? da lame xnmpk
uyun: dia da ilang da
jiran: ooo patotlah da xnmpk. sejak belang xda, tikus byk kat umah auntie
and guess what? since he left, there are a lot of male cats come to our house to ngorat our gorgeous cats. when Belang was still there, they didn't even dare to cross our yard. sigh. miss you tuan muda Belang...
