The Cat Journey

Meow

I am pretty much cat deprived and sleep deprived

I have not been sleeping more than 2 hours for this week.

and somehow I can only sleep after 6 am.

I don't think I can handle reading another article. I have been reading thousands of articles.

So, the cat journey!

Around 2 weeks ago, I feel like I lost my child because I had to part with...

here's the story

On one fine day, I was really tired from class, I thought of sleeping but of course that did not happen.

A friend called me. She was panicking, telling me about a poor sick kitten she found near the engineering building. 

My other two friends who are also cat freak had class so they told my friend (the one panicking on the phone) to bring it to me while the two of them went to buy milk for the kitten.

So, she did.

We named her ( I am pretty sure, it is a her) Cinnamon. 

Cinnamon was really smelly. She could not even opened up her eyes and she kept on sneezing.

She was really sick cause when she meows, there's no sound. So, at first I thought cinnamon was deaf and mute but Alhamdulillah she responded to sounds. 

Anyways, 

So I bought egg and boiled it (sort of, in a tupperware of hot water) and I tried feeding cinnamon and give it milk.

But somehow I think she was really tired and her fever was pretty bad. I tried to shower her (dabbing slightly wet cloth with warm water).

It was quite a challenge taking care of Cinnamon. 

Because I was sleeping at around 4 am, I slept the whole morning with Cinnamon beside me. Unlike the day before, today she was very active. She ate more too!

This picture, she was biting my finger and suddenly she fell asleep.

Unfortunately, my friend and I could not take care of her, I was worried not knowing where I can leave Cinnamon. 

A bit off topic but I can't recall myself praising my University. I kept on highlighting how bad it is instead of saying the positive side of it not that there's a lot. Here goes of one of the thing I love about my University,

I am thankful, very grateful that my university has a club for cat. It is called Abu Hurairah Club. Apparently this club has a rescue team for stray cats. So I called them and they really have good service.

They brought Cinnamon to the vet and now cinnamon is living happily but not in my hostel building. It felt really empty when I had to let her go but that is the best for her, I believe. 

Anyways, the chorus in this song (This is Gospel) is "If you love me, let me go"

Hence, I'm letting cinnamon go.

Anyways, after two or three days of feeling down cause I really miss cinnamon.

Came... Munchkin!

I think the management took the mother away. So, Munchkin is always here either at my floor on one floor below.

She, also very smelly, is very active.

Such a sweetheart.

So, for now munchkin is my joy.

I look forward going back from class to see munchkin. 

um,

Just as I was about to post this, my friend called me bearing bad news

"Tae, munchkin died"

It was attacked by a "Musang Buah", we have a lot of that in my university.

My friend tried to stop the musang, she even threw her shoes at it but it kept on attacking munchkin. She then somehow managed to shoo it away and brought munchkin to the vet

but it was too late.

we'll bury it tomorrow. 

In our memory, Munchkin, forever.

The End for now
