Cats who teach me to fly…

I reached home around 7.30pm and Piper was the one I first looked at. She urinated on the pee pad and breathing heavily. The minute I saw it I know she was not going to go through tonight.

I changed the pee pad and cardboard. I replaced a fresh one and lay her comfortably on the clean sheet.

I kept saying prayers for her. I stayed by her side and pet her. I didn’t stop petting her. She actually knead like a kitten and I hoped she found a little comfort.

It was hard for me to see her breathing heavily and yet there was nothing I could do. The little thing I could do was to brush my fingers lightly on her forehead. When I was brushing, I recalled how she came to me when I called her out for meal. I went up the block floor by floor calling out her name and when she heard me, she rushed to me. She always rubbed against me before her meal and always left after her meal without looking back at me and I always smile when she walked away cos I was happy that she had her meal.

Soon, she knew where to find me and when to wait for me. I didn’t have to find her. She was there for me.

The day I knew she was not going to make it, I decided to bring her home. Below was the last picture I took at Jalan Tenteram.

I brought her home that evening.
She was so sweet during her five days here. She never turned her back at me. She didn’t meow loudly at me as to show her displeasure. I believed she knew we love her the minute we brought her home.

When Piper was about to leave, she howl three times. I am not sure if she was in pain. I don’t know if she was crying. I don’t know what she was trying to say but I am glad that she allowed me to walk with her during her last hour.

Piper was an abandoned cat. I have never seen her until recently. No, Piper was not homeless for long cos she spent her final days in a loving home. We love her!

I will be going to the pets hotel tomorrow at 9am. She will have a common cremation.

Piper, rest in peace! The pain and suffering are over. Run and play at the rainbow bridge! Your paw print stay forever in our heart.

Thank you Piper for coming to my life.
