Yesterday evening, on the way home, K and I saw 2 kittens in the bushes below our block. There were too cute! Like the character "Puss in Boots" in Shrek. And totally playful.. = )
We played with them for a while, then went upstairs to prepare some kitten milk for them in a saucer. The two of them lapped it up in no time. There was another Malay lady with her two young daughters there with us. Apparently, this Malay lady had been feeding some of the cats in our neighbourhood, and she told us that she will be feeding the 2 kittens too. She explained that she could not bring them home because her husband disliked cats.
K and I did thought of bringing the kittens home, but eventually decided against. We felt it was better to leave them there so the Malay lady can feed them regularly versus us leaving them alone at home while we are at work.
This morning, i didn't feel well so i worked from home. I had planned to prepare some milk and feed the kittens again, but got caught up with work. At around 3pm, it started raining cats and dogs. My instant thought was to bring the cats back home, cause i thought they must be totally drenched and cold. So i went downstairs to look for them.. I had a towel in one hand, and an umbrella in the other. I started snooping around the bushes and meowing non-stop. Think i must have looked like a mad person cause one guy kept staring at me from far. After 10 minutes of searching, i gave up, thinking that probably the Malay lady beat me to it and brought them home. Or both cats went into hiding from the rain.
On my way home from gym and dinner with June , i tried to look for the kitties again. The rain had stopped, but there was still no kitty in sight. I walked the entire compound in my neighbourhood twice, still no sight of kitties.. I'm cursing myself now for not bringing them home yesterday. Now they're gone for good!! So sad... = (
