Missing my cats today

Really missing my cats today after hearing to stories of their dogs in the office meeting!

One Monsoon, it was raining heavily and a small creature was crying for shelter. It was all wet and no energy to move because it's mom had abandoned it. This was my first kitten - lussy, named so because it was white in color. One can term this as a street cat, but, soon, it became part of our family by being around our house and playing with Table Tennis ball. A harsh night saw a pot in our garden fall on it to end it's existence.

Few weeks later, my dad brought home a super baby from a rehab center - 1 month old female golden kitten. Dad liked a Japanese movie in which a kid's name was something like, 'Chungya'. In those lines, he named this 'Chungnyee'. ha ha. Once we had taker her to a Vet and he was surprised to know its name. This kitten was so small that it didn't even know to drink milk from a bowl. For many days, we bottle fed with a small bottle with a small nozzle. It was so cute to hold that restless kitten like a baby and put the bottle in to its mouth. Being under my dad's vigilance, there is no scope for misbehavior ;). Be it kids or cats. Chungnyee was taught to obey his orders when it came to feeding -a 'Wait ...' command from dad meant she had to wait till the food is completely made ready and put in the bowl. She used to sit obediently, you know! Her best part was to come up to our (brother and I) beds and wake us up in the morning by coming to our ears. After all these plays and fun, she one day left our house and never returned. Don't know where she went, may be behind some male cat ;).

After knowing some of our cat stories, I was next given a task of 'cat catcher' - this brought home 'tumma'. My friend's back yard had a small kitten visitor and he called me to capture it. Quick I took the cage and car to bring Tumma home. Hyperactive and jumping from one place to another all the time, it was tough to control this baby. But, this was a rough and tough one. After few months, he had grown like a dog. He was so ferocious that he chased dogs who came in to his territory.
