Towards the end of last year, many friends tried to talk me out of getting ANOTHER kitten...
but I couldnt help it...
Only cat owners, pet lovers will truly understand what I was going through. Ashley, Picollo, Percival and Picasso are all grown up now. It seemed like only yesterday that they were whizzing about the hall gettting trapped in too-small places... breaking vases, terrorizing the dog... making me sneeze... waking me up at wee hours of the morning so that they can go out of the room to see birds downstairs...
Ok... I know that didnt sound extremely positive. But I really miss the pitter patter of little paws against wooden floor panelling... the incessant meows, the hungry little accusing eyes of a kitten!!! "Why are you leaving me alone again"
So I promised my friends and my family - No More Buying kittens... ok ok too many liao...
Then as luck would have it...
Christmas came.
Yea... one cold and rainy afternoon... in Kota Damasara... by the side of the road near DO RE MI studio... Luck Found Me!
As we were walking to our car... Choo said: "awww look at the poor little thing... is it DEAD?"
That was all the persuasion I needed to walk over to this limp little pile of bones and skin and fur to check it out...
She turned to me... SLOWLY and meowed... it was the most pathetic meow I have ever heard.
It sounded more like an off pitched quack...
the little kitten quacked and kind of lifted her head to look at me... tried to get up but fell hopelessly back onto the road...
So I grabbed a pashmina from the car and wrapped up and we took her to a vet... who kept her for observation... she was down with bad flu... eye infection, mange... huge cut on nose and ears...
well... she fraily quacked all the way to the vet...
ah.. the rest is history.
She has now officially joined the rest of the family... as a super trooper who never stops reminding Percival how fat he has become, Picasso that she is no longer the youngest and Picollo - oh well.. Picollo is still the prettiest! (yah i know i play favourites!!! haha)
She is today healthy and lively. She is funny. She is kinda cute in a furless way... But above everything, she gives everyone a fair share of exercise. Well needed one too!
