Belakang rumah I dah jadi home to a family of cats: mommy cat, her kitten Tipah, brother cat, sister cat and daddy cat. It started with mommy cat and the kitten being fed by me (leftovers) and Aliyah (cat food). The kitten has this tahi lalat kat tepi mulut macam Latifah Omar, so we call her "Tipah". Lama-lama, elder kids of mommy cat ie brother cat & sister cat pun datang to get a bite. And just recently, daddy cat pun sama menyibuk.
Aliyah memang suka cats. So, this is one way of having pets without actually having them entirely. Just feeding them kat belakang rumah whenever I decide to open the back door. Nowadays, petang-petang when I prepare food for buka puasa, Aliyah will go to the back, feed and play with them. She just needs to observe one rule - the cats must not come inside the house. Okla, setakat masuk sampai dapur tu tak apa...
The cats started to really hang around after hubby saved mommy cat's life. She was stuck on the roof of our neighbor at the back for almost 3 days - no food no drinks, and all the while her kitten was alone at the back of our house dok mengiau kat mommy dia. Kesiannya being separated from her mother - dekat tapi jauh!. I lah yang bagi dia susu and food. On the morning of the 3rd day, hubby buat operasi menyelamat before the cat die - used a short ladder lent by a neighbor, lured mommy cat with food, grabbed her feet and threw her down. She was quite angry at first and went missing with her kitten for a while. But the next day she came back and the family took residence at our place ever since.
Here's Aliyah with Cik Tipah.
Notes:
1) The names ie mommy cat, sister cat, brother cat, daddy cat & Tipah are all the actual names that Aliyah calls them.
2) Nice pix huh? Took it with my spanking new N80! Time taken - almost 7pm - dah gelap tu. 3 megapixel with flash...
