Goodbye Scrawny..

At the time I'm writing this Helmi is digging the earth at the back at our home..Mum woke me up just now at around 4.35am to tell that Scrawny had died. Did I cried? Yes.

And why so? I was looking after him these past few days..Went to sent him to the vet 3 days in a row..And on the 4th day, he seemed to became worse. He didn't even want to drink the water that I fed him. There was a slight think that if he can't manage to eat himself after even being medicated, not much can be done anymore.

On the 4th night (which was last night), I saw him curling up at the sofa. Tried again to fed him some glucose water that the doc gave but he won't drink anymore. It was really painful to see him suffer. So I went upstars to sleep myself. While thinking about him and the times when he was smaller. When his little sibling (white cat) and him were taken to the vet. And the sibling ended up missing and probably died somewhere cos he never went home again. And Scrawny survived at that time. Another time when he was bitten by a dog and had to be brought to the vet to get his leg operated. And he survived that time too. We alwasy thought Scrawny was a Survivor. I guess this is just the time, his fate of death had come.

Last night too I dreamt of him. I dreamt of him waking up and fit enough to eat from my hands. Last night I remembered how cute he was when he wiggled his tail..About the times that he will follow me around, eventhough we always say he's a "jual mahal" cat..More like a cool cat who doesn't bother about anyone..About the times that Kakzi brought him upstairs to sleep with her and Scrawny just obediantly slept in the bedroom. How when we tried calling his name and he tried to meowed back but only a small+harsh voice coming out..With those pitiful eyes, one is blind and one barely can see..That made him a special cat. That was why I've cried. And about how he was a good companion to us all this time.

Helmi's done digging. Am going too bury him. Goodbye Scrawny, you will always be remembered..
