These few days i've been gaining and losing a couple of things. (Weight is certainly not one of them.. though i found out this morning that i lost 400 grams -_-)
A few days ago, my cat Panda went missing. Panda is not just some ordinary cat. We all think he's gay.
Haha, well not exactly. It's just that he's not interested in female cats because he's too interested in FOOD! Food is his sex -_-
Which technically doesn't mean he's gay either because he's not interested in male cats.
-__-
Okay so ANYWAY. He went missing. He's a very special cat to all of us, and so my parents and maid were really depressed. I too missed him because there were no two humongous eyes staring at me as if it wanted to devour me or something.
My father and maid made a couple of rounds around the neighbourhood, and he was nowhere to be seen.
So we almost resorted to what we thought was the last chance of finding him : Flyers. We still kept a few because a couple of years ago he also went missing but we eventually found him.
My father went into the car to make his way to the photocopying shop. But strangely, he returned barely a few minutes later.
He came out of the car with guess who in his hand - Panda.
Apparently when he stopped by at the nearby mosque to ask around, a couple of workers recognised Panda and handed my father a box with Panda in it.
Well the fat cat must have been really shaken. He was shivering and hyperventilating. We decided some rest - and food- will help calm his nerves.
That was a few days ago.
That very afternoon, my mother sent my grandmother's maid home. She had shown some terrible attitude problems during the course of my O'level exams, and something she did in particular yesterday totally did it. My mother screamed at her (while my brother, maid, and i took refuge in the car -_-) and sent her packing.
I don't really consider her a loss, because she has said some very mean things to me and she is a mean, egoistic and condescending person by default, but it's a loss because she was a good worker.
And the very next day, which was yesterday.
Cats are incestuous.
My male cat made his sisters and mother pregnant (haha, Gawwd.)
Yesterday one of his sisters gave birth....
Only to eat her kittens.
No, i'm not kidding, i'm serious. And it's not in the least amusing, it's downright disturbing.
Well my maid was going to feed the cats, which we keep in one room, yesterday, when she heard squeaking noises.
She suspected that my cat gave birth but she can't take seeing newborn kittens so she asked my brother and i to do the job.
We found one right beside this bloody fleshy thing which i assumed was the placenta. Then i walked around the room and found another one.
We placed them into my parents' bathroom with their mother, and left them there for a while.
My maid opened the door to check on them later... and saw blood. She immediately called my brother and i to come up.
It was disturbing. One of its legs was completely ripped off, and the face was chewed. What other possible explanation was there? Only the mother was in the toilet, and the other kitten was sound asleep.
My brother was visibly traumatised. He was crying. I had to go to the gym then.
Came back later on, and the other (surviving -_-) kitten was meowing really loudly. It needed milk, but the mother was too goddamned stupid to do anything about it.
My brother and i really tried making the mother lie down so its kitten could suckle. But this time, both parties were completely idiotic - the mother kept walking around and didn't want to sit down, and the kitten didn't know how to suckle (-__________________-)
We fed the kitten our own home milk as a last resort. The way it was meowing, crying out really loudly for its mother, was heartbreaking. It didn't really drink our milk, so we just left it there. My father told me to put to the mother inside, but i didn't want to. I didn't want the same thing to happen again.
But it was only up to the mother to feed the child. What other choice did i have?
So the mother walked into the toilet, alone with its kitten, and i immediately ran out and closed the door. I didn't want to think about what was going to happen. By the looks of it, the way the mother didn't want to feed it, it was going to die anyway.
My father announced that we were going to have dinner out, so we left the house. I think i knew what was going to happen.
Halfway through dinner, my maid called, in between sobs. This time, the mother ate everything and only left the head.
It was sick.
I was angry and still am at my cat for eating its own children - I mean, what kind of cannibalism is that?
But then again, i just know it's nature. If the cat feels threatened, and it probably did with the way my brother,maid and i kept bothering its kittens, it will eat its kittens. I thought only hamsters did that sort of thing, but apparently not.
And the latest thing i've lost today, is 400 grams. I hope i don't put it all back on with bingeing.
I still can't believe i'm going to live in a completely different place with completely different people and completely different surroundings in slightly more than a months' time.
I'm really not good with changes, see.
