Reason worships cats: They're so cute and they make you feel all lovable and cuddly and they're just so nice to hug and squeeze
Is currently owned by: A little girl called Mitsie, a six month old brown Persian. Very 'manja' (affectionate) but often has her mad half-hours
Most # of cat owners: Probably about four, I think. That was when we lived in a house rather than the condo where we live now 'cause then they could always run around the garden and run after Bokbok (our rooster!) the whole day.
Cat most fond of: A cat we had when I was about 9 or so. He was called Black and he was knocked down by a motor cyclist, but his sister Whites lived to see many, many more years ahead of her
Saddest incident: Putting my cats to sleep, or my cat going missing, or finding them dead after being knocked down by motorists or even being cruelly treated by my neighbours... One of them even threw hot water over my poor little cat!
Any last word? I believe that black cats bring good luck. There was once I was so worried when I was rushing to go to an audition that I accidentally tripped and step on the poor thing!! I kept calling home every other hour to check up on it. The cat was initially in shock but after a lot of coaxing by my mum, she finally calmed down. The good part is that I got the job and I'm convinced that it was thanks to my good-luck cat.
Reasons worships cats: They are funny, loyal, eccentric and totally adorable. They understand you without smothering you
Is currently owned by: One fat, furry lump of a cat
Most # of cat owners: Two
Cat most fond of: Has to be Brush because she has been with me through-out many family / personal matters and has been faithful
Funniest incident: The day my dad's kitten climbed up the kitchen door & fell into my mother's chicken curry!
Any last word? Cats Rule!!!!
Reasons worships cats: They're soft, adorable, loving, entertaining, cute and cuddly... actually I don't really have a reason for loving them -- I just do
Is currently owned by: Well if it's my own cat, then it's only one but if you also consider my mum and boyfriend's cats, then that's four cats that own me all together, and boy, they're pretty demanding and jealous of each other!
Most # of cat owners: Once I had like at least 10 cats, all mine -- a whole cat family! It all started out with just Aki and she had a few kittens, then they grew and had more kittens and it went on and on!
Funniest incident: My mother's cat fell into a tub full of water once!!!! And the weirdest part was how she could jump out of it! It was rather deep for a cat. I thought that was funny!
Saddest incident: When Cumi got ran over one night. It just was horrible. We just cried and cried. We buried her that night in the backyard. We laid her favourite toilet paper with her, and we planted flowers and shrubs which she loved playing with once upon a time
Any last words? I think everyone should take care of at least one cat. Keeping cats will make you happy and can actually teach us a thing or two about responsibilities
Reasons worships cats: They're the most independent of creatures. You don't have to watch your cats 24 hours a day. They don't see the point in doing stupid tricks. As far as they're concerned, if anyone does the tricks, you do it, but if you treat them right, they'll love you til the end
Is currently owned by: I used to have seven cats at one time, and sometimes it would be more. I used to find kittens and rescue them. Later we found out why my mom was sick all these years -- she was allergic to cat fur!! Sadly we had to give all my babies away
Cat most fond of: The kitten I rescued from a big longkang (monsoon drain) one stormy night. He was about three weeks old, tiny and wet from the cold. We fed him to health; and he was very close to me, he only wanted to play with me, and if I didn't want to play he'd sit with me. His name was Slash Van Kitten... REALLY!
Funniest incident: Too many, in fact every day with the cats is amusing and fun... every day with a cat is special hehehehehe...
Saddest incident: When I woke up one day and found my beloved Slash in convulsions. It was truly very horrifying. I took him to the vet and unfortunately he had a spinal disorder and had to be put to sleep...til today it is one of the saddest episodes of my life...
