Monday morning
cats are always loitering around
but I have never seen Mr. Keith before
he is so charming
and show no animosity towards me
purring away at the doorstep
the first thing that attracted me
was his furry brown tail
squirrel-like
gave him a little treat
of fried anchovies
then my sister came out
and noticed the cat
her response is so different from my
“oh.. this cat is so scary”
“don’t give it anything to eat, okay”
oh okay…
goodness
my mom would have kill me
if she sees this
but anyway
Mr. K is a strong chap
he jumped on to the stove
looking for food
come down!!!
there’s nothing
I will be in trouble
if he breaks that bottle of oil
awww..
really felt like caressing him
but once I opened the door
he wanted to enter
all I can do is shoo him out
from the way he behaved
such a sweet creature
presumed he used to belong to someone
not those by birth stray cat
that’s the problem
there are a lot of unfortunate
by-birth stray animals on the street already
yet irresponsible owners are getting rid
of their old pets
so pets just get disowned
not knowing what’s going on
destiny unknown
and life come to be more
unfortunate that
those of the by-birth stray animals
since they used to be pampered
so they are not at all street wise
they have never catch a single rat in their life
they try to approach human beings
got chased out and even kicked
probably still puzzled
why are human being acting so strange
my owner used to love me so
and all of a sudden
I fell from heaven to hell
in this unfamiliar place
longing for food and love
if dog is well known for
his/her loyalty
then cat is a totally different creature
you just can’t compare them
there is an attitude in cat
which I very much share
the indifferences in his eyes
he is perfectly on alert
he listens well and discerns clearly
but he just chills in his own way
or in Cantonese, “hea”
“hea” evolved from English term too
simple means hanging around
and let the world goes round
but when it comes to that
someone or something that he really likes
you can see passion burning in the eyes
all lively and acting like a child
he will go all out for something
he really wants
no matter what
oh my
am I talking about the cat or myself
he is so smart
he actually walked over to the side door
where I was having breakfast
and talked to me
through the gap of the metal net
well
the net was initially set up
to prevent cats from entering
(as shown on the photo above)
Nasi Lemak??
I gave him some portion
the “unpolluted” area
yet he didn’t want it
naughty Mr. K
all he wanted was
crispy fried anchovies
at night
it was raining out there
I wondered what was Ah K doing out there
then he appeared at the front door
purring of hunger and coldness I think
my parents’ responses to Ah K
kind gave me a shock
sorry I am not trying to
shade a dark spot on their images
but they did
they actually poured water…
just normal temperature water
but that’s bad enough
it was already pouring heavily out there
to chase him away
so this is the last sight of Mr. K
next morning
I was meowing away at the backyard
when nobody is around, of course
but Mr. K is no where to be found
hope he is doing fine out there
just fine
animals are innocent creatures
all they demand for
a shelter from rain
and food, just enough to curb hunger
they would never ask for an iPad for Christmas
it is that simple
yet that difficult
sorry
I have tried my best to help you
just let me know
if you decide to drop by again
