Tiger and Oren (Readers Digest style – skema le)
Some years ago, I used to think about those cat lovers. Why are they so crazy in love with these felines? It was quite some time when I realized deep down beneath me, I have a soft spot towards these creatures. The first one, a white Siamese looking cat (I don't think it's a pure Siamese) back in Tambunan. It looked so poor and adorable that we decided to bring it to our house in KK. Those 1 and a half hour journey back to KK prove to be quite a challenge for the cat. She somewhat couldn't stay still along the journey, which we concluded must be because she was mabuk kereta. But her lifespan wasn't that long. Only 2 weeks in KK, one day mum found her lay still and lifeless in front of the house. Was she sick? Was she knocked down by a car? That night Helmi and I buried her body at the back garden. I cried. She was sleeping beside me on her last night.
After that I returned to Melaka (to finish my study). On the phone, now and then mum told me about these kittens who has many tuan. On one day, they stay at home, at night they're gone to another house. They are the kittens of an orange cat that sometimes come to the house, I recalled. I guess the mum passes along this moving home-to-home thingy down to its kittens. When I got back, there are these 2 most adorable kittens at home. My, how big do they get after all these months. We named them Oren and Tiger. They now stay at our home. Even though Oren loves to catch lizards and play around with them (I have this phobia on lizards which make me shudder at a near sight of them), and Tiger is a mischievous thief by sneaking into thawed fish in the kitchen, but gosh, I treasure them very much! I always races with Oren up and down the stairs. Tiger is a dear, once I was on my way to the bus stop and she follows. I talk to them often. Yeah call me a freak, loco, maniac, whatever for talking to these cats whom seem to have no idea what I'm talking about. But it proves to be a benefit for me somehow. When you're tired from work, and there's no one to talk to, there are these cats waiting for you on the front door, giving all the ears without judging you whatsoever.
Here are the pictures; man they're good at posing. Anybody on the lookout for cat model, I'm sure they'll pass - the catwalk way! (P/S: More pictures of Tiger and Oren later on)
