don't be too mean towards cats

I was having a little chat with my Mak Ngah when she told me about her son who's now moving to Kedah from his previous house in Negeri Sembilan due to work. He is a cat lover, he loves to pick up stray cats and lets them stay at his house. As a result he has many cats.

But mysteriously his cats keep on disappearing one by one. My aunt says she thinks it is his neighbors the ones that took the cats and threw them away as to them the cats in the neighborhood is a nuisance.

It got me thinking, maybe there's an answer to my kittens disappearance when I was in Medan, Indonesia. It's weird really, as one kitten disappeared after another within one or two days. It's impossible for them to go to far and got lost or hit by car in such orderly interval.

My kitten Abu, who ran over by my neighbour, without informing me was buried. I knew about it a few days later only after an old lady told me what she witnessed.

This is really sad you know. If that was what exactly these people were doing then they should know how selfish they are. And very unfair towards the innocent cats.

These cats were taken from the streets, adopted and taken care of. Isn't that a good thing? Not only it gives these cats better lives they deserve, it also will reduce the number of stray cats that many people find disturbing on the streets or at the restaurants, (though all these cats are asking for is some leftovers that we not gonna eat anymore).

But still if you are unhappy about cats, talk to the owner. We can control the cats better. And the number of cats can be controlled by spaying these animal. Throwing them somewhere else is not solving but creating more problems.

Last week I found out about this very sad news:


This wonderful person, Nicole took these cats from the streets, adopted them and feed them with love. Unfortunately her neighbours complained to DBKL and they gave her several days to get rid of these cats.

And what happen to those cats on the street of KL captured by DBKL? What I  read in the Mastika January 2012 edition startled me. Those cats will be put in cage and feed for 1 week, and after 1 week if nobody buy them for RM15, these cats will be put to 'sleep'.

we are who we are

I'm angry with myself after reading the title that I just typed. Of course we are who we are. There's no need to tell that to everyone.

Being on a holiday as I just finished my study, enables me to look back and realize something that's quite important in helping me to make choices and how to deal with stuffs in the future.

we believe in what we want to believe.
Seriously, there was a friend who think that I did something bad and though I have had explained to him that I didn't do it, he still believed that I did it. In this case, don't worry and just let him be. Don't let what others believe affect us in a negative way. And we our self should be careful and rational in choosing in what to believe in.

we feel what we want to feel.
You will be happy if you want to. And you can be sad if you want to too. Seriously. it's like choosing what movie to watch or what song you want to listen to. Choose to be happy instead and choose not to be sad for too long.

how we react to stuffs determines our beings.
Having similar problems in the university, I can see how my friends reacted to them. And the way how each of them reacted determines how they gonna feel later. If one chose to be happy and reacted to it positively then he'll be happy, no matter what the outcomes would be. And of course there was someone who dreaded about it every seconds, busy complaining, busy hating and it affected her own self, she ended depressed which was the result of her own action.

we choose what we want to be.
Yes we can choose to be a happy person that light up people around us or we can also be a mood spoiler. We heard people saying "oh why is he/she leaving me, why? why?" and blaming that person for something that without realizing it, is partly our fault. Have we given that person good reasons to stay with us? We might as well just blame our self.

So to dearest reader (if there any haha) and to me, choose to be happy instead, if we can't change what happened we can always choose how to react to it in a way that benefits us. And having said that, lets laugh at the title instead of angry with it haha.
