heaven.
Yday was incredible. Special thks to Weileng who made it possible. Thks to ur willingness to share ur haven wif 2 complete strangers. Ur passion is totally awe-inspiring.
And thks to Mo, who accompanied mi there notwithstanding he's no big feline fan.
Wad happened was dis; some weeks ago, a girl whom i didnt noe dropped mi a msg in frenster. Apparently, the msg went out to a couple other users s well, who appeared when dis girl typed in "Cats" in the frenster search engine.
Turns out dis girl is running a cat shelter wif a few feline-lovers and they are desperately trying to find gd homes for the strays. Solely for adoption oni.
I was thrilled. I finally visited the much-anticipated place.
Much s i long to adopt, i cudnt. Given the extent Empress Dowager flared up over 2 tiny rodents previously, i wudnt wanto test her limits assuming the intensity of her temper is in direct proportion to the size of the pet. Unless i'm tired of living dat is.
Anyway, i cudnt bliv my eyes when i stepped into the shelter.
Dey were everywhere!!!!
In boxes, on chairs, in n on cabinets, tables, floor, balcony, grills, bathroom, kitchen, sinks....EVERYWHERE!!!
All of dem hv their piercing vision fixated on us as we proceeded deeper into their territory, checking for signs of threat obviously. Altho i truly adore cats, it was kinda intimidating s i've nvr been surrounded by THAT many cats in my life b4.
But shortly after, being the endearing creatures dey r, many of dem came n engulfed us, longing for a pat n the human warmth dey hv been so estranged to.
Weileng has been most kind to dem, the kindest i've ever encountered among all feline-lovers, but she canot possibly shower enuff love to each n every of dem when there r some...80 of dem in the house, can she?? She has oredi done more than she could n should.
Dey meowed n meowed, asking for the cuddle and love dey deserve. There were Buttons the noisy one, Wayang the fat one, Coby the big, black fella, Vivian whose has a full name Vivian Balakrishnan (named after its ex-owner apparently), Oreo the beautiful but the super shy one, One Dollar, Two Dollar, Three Dollar, Lindon the hyperactive kid, Lovey the pretty one, Lil' Bambi the spotty one, Barney the finger-fetished one, Angie the one wif the nice grey coat, Sha Sha the gorgeous Persian, Shanthi the scowler, Ernie the one wif the super balance ability (we found him on the ON the door), Garfield, Joey...n many, many, many more.
When we sat down, dey leaped onto our laps n made demsvles comfy. So comfy as we stroked dem, dey purred comfortingly. Two Dollar sucked its paws s it snuggled up in my arms...just like a baby.
And there were the kittens who were super fascinated wif Mo's tattered jeans' hems. And there was dis silly, white kitten wif brown spots, i cudnt rber its name, which kept clinging onto Mo's leg. Ahahaha...
But wad Weileng said was true. There have been too many sob stories wif each of these angels. There were the abandoned ones, the battered ones, the ill ones and the deformed ones.
It is disheartening. To know that at the end of the day, there r still lifeless bastards n cruel bitches out there, torturing the hell outta these poor creatures who can oni suffer in silence n fend for demsvles. And it is reli hard to find dem gd homes.
So if u noe of anybody who will make a gd parent for cats, do let me noe.
Yet, dey r commonly misunderstood n continue to be plauged by old-wives' tales. Ignorant Chinese's superstition says dat it is bad luck to hv a black cat cross ur path, even more ignorant idiots bliv dat all cats r vicious n will hv the power to let misfortune befall ur family. Some fools bliv cats' fur causes/aggravates asthma or gives strange diseases.
Bollocks! The biggest n smelliest heap of bull i've ever come across.
Well u dun hv to love dem, but at least dun hate dem!? And pls, dun abuse dem!!
Anyway, we met Heidi too, a lovely & hilarious Austria lady, slogging her guts out, cleaning/scrubbing/washing when we met her, all for the love of cats. She is amazing. Totally admirable.
And i tot i was cat-fanatic enuff.
Altho i cudnt adopt, yday was thoroughly enriching, albeit tiring. But I will go back there...for sure. Just to give the kids a nice cuddle, a pat on their backs n some love dey hv been so deprived of.
