Sorry Kitty. "We Love You, Goodbye"

04-01-22 | Eurydice

I woke up early today because of a loud voice coming from my sister. I immediately opened my eyes and I saw my older sister crying. I asked her why she's crying and then she replied, "the kitten is dead".

My father brought home a kitten yesterday from my mother's workplace. That kitten was abandoned by his owners at the guardhouse and my Mom got attached to the kitten since it is cute and pitiful. I think, that kitten is probaly 2-3 months old. She prefered to bring it home than to leave it beside the road. She's afraid that the kitten might be hit by the vehicles.

As a cat lover family, we can't afford to abandon him that's why my parent's decided to adopt it. We took care of him, my older sister cleaned the kitten very well. She got all of his ticks. We fed him, played with him. We got attached to him in just a day.

The night came, my father decided to let the cat sleep at our dirty kitchen because that cat has a diarrhea and we don't want our sala to get messy because of his wet poops. We are certain to let him sleep in the kitchen because it's safer since and it's not that cold there. We let him sleep at the hearth of our fireplace.

I decided to sleep at 11 in the evening. Little did I know, in the middle of my peaceful sleep, our kitten was being played by our dogs outside our house.

He went outside the kitchen for an unknown reason. We looked for a hole that the kitty might have dug as a way out of the kitchen. We discovered a little hole, which I believe is where our kitten escaped. My older sister was the who witnessed what happened. She told us that the kitten was played by our dogs and it was already dead when she found out where it was. She cried and cried because she can't imagine what the kitten has been through from that moment.

Earlier this morning, my father was excited to see the kitten but he got sad when we told him the news that the kitten was dead. He blamed himself for suggesting the idea of leaving the kitten in the kitchen. My Mom comforted him that it's not his fault. It's no one's fault.

We're just so sad that we're not able to wake up to save the kitten from our dogs. If only I can predict what happened, I will let that kitten inside our house and I will just be the one to clean his mess. If only., hayyysss. I'm still emotional at this moment because I can't imagine what that kitten have been through in that incident.

I just closed my eyes and asked forgiveness to God and to our kitten. I can't help but to cry because as a Cat lover individual, that cat became very close to me even in just one day. That incident made us all aware that we should not let our cats to go outside because of our dogs. I really wanted to slap or kick our dogs but who am I to do that. Dogs were not human. They don't know what they are doing, they just followed their animal instinct. If there are someone to blame, well, it's us.

Anyways, thank you for passing by. I just really wanted to release this pain through writing.

Thank you dear sponsors.
