A Train of Thought.
So, my friend keep on annoy me to write, anything, anyway.
So here I am, talking about kitten. So adorably unbelievable, that I am talking about cat.
Well, it was few weeks ago when I open my door and found kittens and a mom cat, there is a mom cat right? Like when a cat becomes a mom.
The first thought was, take a picture to send to my younger sister. On a whim, she texted back, you should adopt it.
Nope, have neither time nor enough responsibilities.
They maybe moved away by the time I went home from works.
The evening was rained when I come home from works, and there that stupidly cute kitten face appeared from underneath a parked car. There was time when I feel so indecisive, they are so little, did they eaten already, where the hell is the mom cat, can I stop this train of thought, I almost soaking wet.
And I went back around buying a kitten food.
Stupidity’s definitely contagious.
After sneaking kitten food, and trying not to be afraid of the mom cat hissing at me. I secretly wish the kitten not to get thrown away. Then one day the kitten was gone. The car wasn’t parked in its place, and the shoes racks where the usually hidden by was organized neatly.
I was a bit sad, and puzzled, and keep having thought about where they got thrown away. Was they thrown into a ditch, or garbage place.
I can not help to feel guilty that I can not help, but of course. Strays cat for whatever they do as they will. Is not responsibility of anyone, its way too many, and even to exterminate them (how evil my thought was) is way too costly. And face it, should we care more about stray animal, while there are people with life difficulty around us.
So in one those day, I liked to think the kitten are in the better place right now. With a severe case of emotionally detachment (to the stray kittens) life’s goes on.
Well, few days later, I saw the kitten hidden in the shoes rack, again.
And mysteriously disappear, again.
But, I saw the mom cat regularly, so yeah; I think they are fine right now.
