My
first cat was white tabby with greyish/brownish spots. Actually itu kucing Ayah saya, kira kongsi
kucing lah.. Ayah named her Chokie. A
very brilliant cat, according to my late grandmother, bila Chokie pandai kejut
kan Ayah untuk siap-siap pergi kerja, what she did was, she will climbed on the
bed and say: dah subuh dah.. bangun le nanti boleh solat subuh and mandi
siap-siap pegi kerja.. (haha ni tipu) .. Chokie akan mengiau lah.. suruh bangun. Bila petang, at around 5, Chokie dah
siap-siap tunggu kat depan pintu before lari ke jalan besar untuk sambut Ayah
balik dari kerja. Dulu Ayah tak ada kereta, motor Lambretta pun masa tu dia
belum beli. I pun belum lahir.. but Ayah and Mak lost their first child that’s
my eldest brother a year before I was born.
Agaknya sebab itu Ayah adopt Chokie kot.. just to fill in the empty
space before I came along..
My
memories with Chokie actually not much.. sebab dulu I just like her kittens je
(buruk betul perangai kan..), sebab kecik comel kan selalu curi2 letak dalam
poket baju tidur and later bawa masuk bilik tidur hehehe.. Chokie tu setakat I pat
her once or twice/day sebab I rasa tak ada close bonding (cewah).. but deep
inside I know she is a very obedient cat.
Sayang anak-anak Chokie tak hidup lama.
Chokie punya perangai, when she’s around, no other cat can come to our
home. She really jaga her
territory. She was a fighter.. ingat
lagi kepala dia luka sebab bergaduh.. masa tu mana lah nak hantar ke Vet, lagi
pun tak banyak Vet clinic and I’m sure bayaran pun mahal. So my late grandmother or Ayah will treat her
wounds with minyak gamat or ubat kuning till luka tu sembuh. What I can remember she dies due to old
age. Banyak jasa dia kat keluarga kami,
selain dari jaga rumah dari dicerobohi kucing lain, she ensure no tikus or
cencurut masuk dan menakut-nakut or gigit kami.. dan she was my dad’s alarm
clock.
Love
you Chokie.
