Yellow, I often called her 李黄 (2013 ~ 7 March 25)

31/03/2025 by A learning buddhist...

She had always been a scaredy cat since the day I met her 11 years ago and way too skinny. She had an underdeveloped eye and we had to remove her eyeball five years ago and it was cancerous. She had another good five-and-a-half years to live.

The reason that we decided to take her home was because she was heavily pregnant and she was the first pregnant cat that we had come across. Of course, we tried not to abort the kittens. Yellow gave birth to four lovely kittens!

All living beings are the same. Giving birth is equally painful and all mothers love their children, human and non-human. That’s why I don’t take dairy products. It’s utter cruelty! We don’t need them to survive! Yellow’s kittens were so smart that whenever we took them to adoption drives, they would pretend to sleep for the whole session and became dragons when it was time to go home. One day, all of them became this big!

We love them!

Although Yellow was a scaredy cat, we had no issue administering her medication or supplements. I am always glad that she was not in anyone’s hand who would take advantage of her. Despite being a scaredy cat, she was way too easy to handle.

Yellow at her prime! We have not removed her eyeball when above photo was taken. Though she tended to hide, she would come out, look at you and meow whenever she was hungry and she will be well served! I always liked to force pet her:).

Her eyeball was removed in the above photo. With or without eyes, in no matter what state, we love them the same and this goes towards all living beings.

We estimated Yellow to be at least 12 years of age. A generation “gone”!

Thank you 李黄 for being part of my life. All of you play an important role in my life!

May the merits accumulated be dedicated to Yellow’s favourable rebirth!

  • “Bhikkhus, dwell with yourselves as an island, with yourselves as a refuge, with no other refuge; with the Dhamma as an island, with the Dhamma as a refuge, with no other refuge. ~ SN 22.43

  • “Enough, Vakkali! Why do you want to see this foul body? One who sees the Dhamma sees me; one who sees me sees the Dhamma. For in seeing the Dhamma,Vakkali, one sees me; and in seeing me, one sees the Dhamma.” ~ SN 22.87

  • I highly recommend reading the sutta translated by Piya Tan. His "Laymen Saints" has been an inspiration to many lay people.
