Remembering you~

I remember how proud a cat you are, catwalking with your tail up high as you petrol your territory. You're the king of your kingdom.

I remember how you like to sleep with with your head upside down. Is the world prettier the other way or does seeing the world from another perspective give you new insights to life?

I remember how you like chicken rice especially from Pow Sing. You're always the first member of the family to sit at the dinner table.

I remember how you rotate your sleeping place every once in a while. Every where in the house has memories of you.

I remember how you used to sleep beside me when I sleep on the sofa at the living room. Waking up to see you beside me is surprizingly soothing. The hussle and bussle of the world never seems to bother you.

I remember how you kept me company through the late nights when I had to study for my major examinations. The silence of the night is more bearable even though you just sleep quietly beside my legs.

I remember your big eyes that looks longingly at me. Those signals to feed you can never be missed.

I remember how you clinge onto the side of the water backet when the maid bathes you. Do you know how cute you look? You probably don't because you're all busy remembering how much we offended you so you can pay it back to us later.

I remember how you sit on my foot and look away to show your protest. My dear kitty, your dung smells really bad and I really appreciate it if you don't put your butt on my foot. ><

I remember how you like to sleep in plastic bags. It's amazing how a small plastic bag can make you so excited. It's also very tiring to be looking out all the time to stop you from jumping into my luggage.

I remember when we bought you, how tiny you were and how naughty you were. It's amazing how big and strong you grew over the years.

I remember how you used to catch all the small animals and show them to us. Honestly, I really don't take much interest in looking at half dead lizard or birds, but looking at your ernest face, I know you meant it as a throphy to show us how capable you are. We always know you are capable.

I remember how we used to have to squeeze you down from the dining chair so you don't fight with us for food.

I remember how you used to tap us to make us feed you. Human food is really not for you my darling... I don't kinow how you develop that appetite for human cooked food.

I remember how you used to sleep under the palm tree in the garden and disappear into the drains in the afternoon. You really gave us a shock initially. But we eventually know that a cat smart as you will always be able to find your way home.

I remember how you never meow EVER. The only way to get you to meow is to lock you up in your cage. When that happens, you will look at us with those big shiny eyes of yours and let out a small meow.

There's so many little snippets of memories of you... afterall.. you are my best pal and most valued company throughout my growing up years.
