Meow long overdue post

Posted in Uncategorized at 6:44 am by ummsofiyyah

 I’ve been wanting to post on this but couldn’t find the time to do so. This semester’s workload was really horrible. The deadlines were driving me up the wall, really. Thank Allah I’m done an over with it now. Not sure how I fared, though. Ah but let’s not talk about that, shall we.

So anyway, you know I’m terrified of cats, but I am not CRUEL ok. So last semester, I saw this cat in school. It was like meowing like crazy and it had the thinnest perut I have ever seen on a cat (albeit from a safe distance). And I was with my friend then who is a cat expert. So I told my friend to wait while I rushed to the canteen and got an ikan goreng. My friend said it’s too big for the cat. But to our surprise, the cat finished it off within like, 2 minutes and even wanted more.

So that was last semester.

Then this semester, I was studying with my friend one night and we heard the cat again. We were having our dinner (instant mee and sandwiches) and I said we should get some tuna for the cat. My friend agreed, but to go and get  tuna means we have to climb down 198483686093493 flights of stairs and worse, back up again. So I came up with a brilliant suggestion – kasi kucing tu makan maggi/sandwich ah! Brilliant not? I was prepared to share my sandwich with the kucing and my friend can share her maggi la right. So brilliant.

But noooo my friend dismissed the idea. She laughed and said mana kucing makan maggi laksa or sandwich. So I said, ok maybe laksa tak but sandwich? BBQ chicken sandwich? But my friend just laughed and laughed.

Then we went to look for the cat. To my surprise, the cat was not alone. There was this little creature near her paws. The cat has kittens, I thought. “OMG! IT’S A TIKUS!” exclaimed my friend. Out loud. And then the tikus ran away. I was terrified (cat AND mouse? *shudders*) but I felt sooo bad ok. I felt I have robbed the cat of her dinner (GROSS IT SOUNDS WRONG!).

So then I told my friend, ok nah amek jeee sandwich ni and kasi kucing tuu. And I think she felt guilty too so she went against her logical stand of cats not eating sandwiches and just gave it to the cat. And guess what people? THE CAT ATE THE SANDWICH. BBQ CHICKEN, WHOLEMEAL BREAD AND SALAD AND ALL. Can you believe ittt? We both laughed in sheer disbelief.

Upon seeing that we realised that this cat must have been like, living below poverty line or something. So down and up the 198483686093493 flights of stairs we went and got the cat a tin of tuna mayonnaise. So then we looked for the cat again, and to our surprise.. We saw 5 kittens with her! So the cat expert was wrong – it wasn’t tikus. It was kittens! I almost freaked out (ok, I actually did) and asked my friend to “KASI MAKAN JAUH2!” and she did.

And so I was watching the whole family devouring the tuna (it was quite a nice sight actually) when suddenly, the mother cat decided to stop eating. And she turned to look at us. And she started walking towards us. And then she started running. And then of course, upon seeing that, I started running too and asked my friend to stop the cat from coming.

But to our surprise..

Haih. I think the post is getting too long already. I’ll continue some other time, insyaAllah, to share why I cried so badly after that:’D
