The Feline Matriarch
During my lunch with JJ, the topic of his sister's new pet dog came up. So this got me talking about my pet cat from years ago, Miao-Miao. It all started at my old house in Kuantan. My mum always had a soft spot for cats and Miao-Miao always came around outside the kitchen window looking for scraps. Eventually, my mum took her in. Miao-Miao is your usual stray cat with brownish spots over a canvas of white. Quite the aggressive type. Never really warmed up to us, but she would seek attention once in while. Purring and rubbing against my leg. But catch her in the wrong mood and she won't hesitate to take a swipe at you. All the while, she treated my place like a hotel. Here today, gone tomorrow. Makan, then cabut. Mum would make her rice boiled with fish and I remember that the dish was congealed with some pinkish jello. Sounds appetizing right? :S.
A cat with attitude. Chased dogs. Jumped halfway up to the ceiling to attack a stray bat in the living room. Loved to eat keropok lekor. Over the years, Miao-Miao sired many kids, but all of 'em passed on before her. Among the most prominent were Bobo and QQ. Both of them were mixed with Siamese cat genes. Bobo was quite the rebel. Would always go out and have fights with other cats, until to succumb to injuries some years later. QQ was more homely. When she was sick, my brother cooked grasshoppers over a frying pan for her. Damn crispy snacks. She died in a hit and run. They're all buried at my front lawn under the lemongrass bushes.
Some years later, Miao-Miao just up and left. Only after very long later, she turned up at our doorstep. Weak and dying. She lay there at our doorstep for several days, not wanting anyone to disturb her. In due time, she breathed her last breath and we buried her with her progeny. Thus ends her feline dynasty... And we have not taken in another pet ever since.
