Losing a Pet: Realization

Heya.

I am not quite happy today because there was sad news. So let me briefly narrate what happened today.

It was 6:30 in the morning when I woke up. I scrolled my phone for 5 minutes and went to the toilet to get ready for the day. I went back to my room to check my phone and I am deciding if I am going to upload a photo on Appics. Sometimes I forgot to upload a photo in the morning. I decided not to and went downstairs for breakfast.

My sister is the one who delivered the news to me. Our dear Muning has passed away. She was found on the bottom of the tricycle, and her head was a little stain of blood. We suspect that an animal did it to her. Another one is maybe because of post-partum? I do not know if that is applicable to animals too. Still, we do not know exactly what happened last night.

Thank you, sponsors!

I am sad today but life must go on. There are realizations that were made today and here, I will share them

Being shocked and sad is normal.

Yes, I was shocked by the news about Muning's passing because it is so sudden. I thought that it will be just a normal day for me and for my family. She is the sweetest cat because she greets everyone by rubbing her body against my legs. I never thought it will be that fast. I was not that ready to know about it. I am feeling okay now and just going on with my normal routine but sometimes, I cannot help but still think about her.

They have a short life span.

Cats are very different from humans when it comes to life span. A cat named Creme Puff has the longest life recorded according to Google. She is the oldest cat ever to live at 38 years. The life of a cat depends on its diet, environment, lifestyle, etc. I realized that in my lifetime, many cats will be part of my life. Currently, the kittens of Muning are healthy. I am hoping that they will survive even though their mom is gone now.

They will say goodbye.

Pets cannot talk, obviously. Pets have other way around of telling it before the go. What I noticed the past few days is that, Muning is aloof to me. In a day, she wanted to be pet like five times a day. I noticed too that she got a little bit skinnier or has a sunken face. I just ignored it because I just thought that maybe she is just tired from taking care of her kittens. Then I realized that maybe that was the sign she was telling to me that it will be her last day on Earth.

Final Thoughts

Hmmm, I just wished that I said my goodbye to Muning. What I will really miss is our photoshoot on Sundays. I got a lot of photos of her unreleased from my phone. I will keep them on my hard drive so that I will have a copy of them.

I really do treat her as part of the family. I do not see her as a random animal. I have feelings attached to her already. Maybe that is how I see animals when I already invested my feelings to them.

Everything will be okay. Muning will be forever missed.
