Pets' Love and Loyalty

I'm not really a cat person before, but after I was married and have our own pets (iguana, squirrel, civet and ofcoz cat), I got all the time to understand how loyal pets (not only cats) are. When I am alone in the kitchen (cooking, washing dishes etc), Rigger (the cat in the photos) is always nearby to keep me company. He follows me almost everywhere, even when I'm going to the shops downstairs, working with my laptop at the balcony or wait outside the bathroom until I finished my showers.

Ofcoz, pets can't buy us house, cars, jewellery etc...but they fill the empty spaces in our heart not even our humanly loved ones can fill.


Here's an old drawing in my sketch book. Dedicated to all pets in the world.

Putri pun Rindu

Dalam tergesa-gesa, saya terpijak gula-gula getah. Dalam hati, "Blender!! Jangan tangkap kaki Mummy!". Memang itulah kerja Blender, bila orang berjalan, dia suka melompat-lompat sambil menyelit-nyelit di antara langkah kaki. Dan kerja saya adalah marah-marah bila dia buat begitu. Saya terlupa, tiada lagi Blender. Itu cuma gula-gula getah yang membuatkan selipar saya terasa seperti ditarik ke belakang bila melangkah.

Semalam saya bersama-sama kakak saya yang sulung dan Putri singgah di Kaison, 1 Borneo. Seperti biasa, kalau dia yang mendukung Putri, pasti singgah di seksyen alat permainan. Mungkin kakak saya tidak sengaja, dia telah mengambil sebuah patung anjing (pada saya itu patung anak serigala) dan berkata, "Eeee...patung ini lembut sekali". Putri tiba-tiba ketawa kesukaan dan menarik patung itu ke dakapannya. Dia memeluk. Mencium. Teruja dan ketawa.

Saya datang dan mengambil satu patung beruang. Sama lembut. Saya serahkan kepada Putri. Sekarang Putri memeluk dua patung. Dia bertambah suka. Oh adakah perempuan memang dilahirkan untuk suka kepada benda yang comel-comel? Sungguh natural, tiada siapa menyuruh dia peluk cium patung itu.

Niat saya memberi dia patung beruang itu supaya saya boleh menarik patung yang satu lagi dari tangannya. Kalau dia mahu patung, biarlah patung beruang. Sebab semua kanak-kanak suka teddy bear kan, saya tidak mahu nanti dia cepat bosan kalau tidak suka. Tapi bila saya tarik patung anak serigala itu, Putri mengemaskan dakapannya. Bila saya cuba tarik patung beruang itu pulak, perlahan-lahan dia lepaskan. Jadi kakak saya kata, "Biarlah, saya beli yang ini".

Putri terus memeluk patung barunya sampailah saya meletakkan dia di dalam carseat. Sejurus sahaja kereta mula bergerak, diapun tertidur.

Gambar yang saya letakkan di atas adalah gambar yang saya ambil pagi tadi. Putri berbaring di atas patung itu seperti yang biasa dilakukannya terhadap Blender.

Adakah anda terfikir, apa yang saya fikirkan?

Blender Lari dari Rumah

Blender had been missing for 3 days.

Last Sunday, I invited a homeless kitten into the house. He was meowing at my feet so I said to him, "Come to my house, I'll get something for you to eat". The kitty seemed to understand and followed me home. As promised, I fed him with Blender's fried fish leftovers and some cat's biscuits.

Half an hour later, hubby and Blender got home. Hubby said, "why did you bring this cat home? Nanti Blender merajuk". So I said to Blender, "Jangan merajuk Blender. He will leave after he finished eating". But the little kitten didn't leave after he finished his meal. Siap tidur2 lagi on my hubby's mattress.

That night Blender went out, and haven't been back until today. Hubby syak dia lari lari rumah. Merajuk.

Today is Saturday

A quick sketch in response to rizal's "apa cerita? saja suka2. =)"

Oh I thought yesterday was Saturday! (Just realize when I'm typing title for today's post. Will continue posting the sketch coz it's already done anyway.

Since it's a holiday, I planned to look for blue fabric to make apron for my sister in-law, and maybe some buttons, brown thread and smaller needle for my sewing machine (actually I'm still not familiar with this sewing thing so I planned to ask the lady at the store). I also planned to drop by at my frequently visited bookstore and perhaps buy some iron-on print paper for a personal project. The drizzle started getting heavier but luckily I have an umbrella!

Guess what, all the shop that I wanted to go were closed. It's Good Friday lah. How could I forgot that? Actually I don't know that shops might be closed on Good Friday. Not even the slightest of such idea came to my mind.

So I wander around the complex, until I started feeling hungry. Very hungry.

Ok. Saturday story. Weather; cloudy.

I wake up a bit earlier today, thinking about doing the laundry, the apron, illustration friday, who's going to send my mom home in the evening, what's for breakfast, and feed our pets. If you still don't know them;

Mr. Noko is nocturnal. He's very lazy and such a sleepyhead during the day. He's cute but NOT friendly especially to stranger. I think he don't like Mr. Kontot as he will get anxious and angry if he sees Mr. Kontot around. Mr. Kontot is a very naughty and hyperactive squirrel. He chewed the curtain, neighbour's astro cable and broom stick and bit my thumb a couple of days ago. He eat almost everything. So if you want to make friend with him, just share your potato chips, chocolate, cookies, crackers, peanut, pistachio, banana, apple, waterchesnut, sunflower seed (or fried fish and chicken wing?), etc. He escaped from his cage twice but return before dark.
