Not Even A Month?
Yeap, that thot came poppin 2 my mind the minute my mom told me that one of my kittens is dead due to some tragic incident. This time it’s not a typical one where my cats usually ran over by cars. There’s always some’one’ to blame. But now na’ah. My mom believes that Lala (the kitten’s mother), holds responsible for the death of her own child.
This morning, as my mother woke up, she went outside the house to do some gardening / cleaning (wateva). As she tried to feed Lala, whose resting quite comfortably in the cage, she noticed that one of the four kittens was missing. After a few minutes of searching & ‘digging’ thru the ‘cram & muddled’ cage, she found the grey-ish kitten lying lifelessly under a small flat container on which Lala was sitting on at that particular moment!
The messy cage indicates that there had been some chaotic situation goin on last nite. And I recalled last nite when I was about to enter the house, I heard Lala’s outraged voice, that sounded as if she was in a fight with some irritating cat. You know, that growling sound. But when I took a peek (didn’t want to interrupt ‘their conversation’, if any), there were no other cats there. So I thot maybe she was angry at her children & tryin to educate them in sumwat strict/aggressive manner. I stayed there for about 5 minutes trying to comprehend the whole situation, & I saw Lala trying eagerly to open the cage & let herself out. She looked quite furious, so I told my bro (Farish) to go outside & open the cage, for I didn’t want to dirty my hands by holding the cat, plus yea I was a bit frightened :P However Farish was too lazy to help. Can’t blame him as it was nearly 2 a.m.. So I juz went upstairs to my room & doze off. Next thing I know, the kitten’s dead!
How I wish I had known what happened earlier. & how I wish I understand animal’s language, especially cats! Maybe the cage was too small for them, that Lala accidentally sat on her own child. But how can she not notice that? That’s so irresponsible & absolutely impossible right?! But a female cat wouldn’t kill her own child, would she? & the most frustrating part is that the kitten’s not even a month old! Now I’m left with only three lil kittens :(
