2 days after saiful was gone, hubby brought back another cat (semi-kitten as i look at it)..
I nearly jumped from my seat after seing the fella..no not because of joy, but seing such uncanny resemblance to my Saiful.....the same orange stripes, the same hazel eyes and the same fluffy tail. Only this time it's a female, slightly smaller than Saiful (cos she's younger) with curious looking-round eyes that comes in a very sweet face...Saiful on the other hand, had a very stern but blunt facial expression complimented with 'sepet' eyes, being a proud adult male cat that he was...
Anak2 pun suka sangat...syamariz terharu sangat Mr B sanggup gi cari pengganti Saiful for me & the kidz..thanks so much dear! **smiles**
We named her Michiko..don't ask me why, how or what it means....we finally came out with that name after hubby suggested several weird names before...ada ker dia nak bagi names like Robithoh la, Nasirohh la, Mashitohh laa....he simply likes to give cats human names grrrr!!!!
This time around..they will be no more photos of our Michiko, let's just see how it goes. Ya..aja; maut di tangan Tuhan, kita manusia hanya mampu berusaha...jadi macam tu la kiranya daku berusaha..
Michiko completed our lives again (we are a family that adores cats), but Saiful will still remain in my memory, along with several of my old cats that were long gone before him..
**THE END**
syamariz note : Please read "Chicken Soup for Cat Lovers Soul" if u are so into cats..its a book full of heart-whelming stories of cats & thier owners..

In memory of my beloved Saiful
16 Disember dalam kenangan... [strictly for pet lovers only or for those who care]
Telah ditakdirkan Saiful hanya sempat bersama kami selama 3 bulan shj...akhirnya pada 16 Disember lepas dia pergi meninggalkan kami dengan hanya meninggalkan memori keletahnya yang selamba tapi menceriakan kami sekeluarga...
For those yang tak tahu, Saiful was my beloved pet cat and we cared for him since September after hubby brought him back from the office, feeling pity for the poor thing who strayed around the office area. He was a good cat...always wanting companion & attention, if not he would meowed endlessly for some attention. He was a cool little fella & very family oriented...tak mengada2 tapi malasnya adoiii sebijik Garfield, makan & tido sepanjang hari..he even grew very fat like the cartoon character...sometimes he would sleep with me & my hubby or with the kids. One thing we can't stand bout him is he would bite your bare naked skin if he sees one..like ur ankles, your arms and even your calf/thigh if exposed..dunno why, dia npk cam paha ayam goreng kot....i've blogged bout him in my previous entries, luckily there was some memory on him.
One day, he started refusing to eat..he got lesser & lesser appetite that got me worried. After 2 days of not consuming anything, he started vomitting. Satu hari sampai dekat 10x muntah hijau kuning sampai badan dah semakin kurus. I decided to take him to the vet the next day on the 12th. The vet said he could've had poisoned or virus infection. And so he was warded cos the body was very dehydrated & he had gotten very weak. The vet & staff there were all very kind and even called me to tell on the progress (which was none). He was given glucose through IV drip to regain energy, water to dilute the poisonous substance hence flushed out through urinating process & also been forced fed...all they could do then was hoping he would make some signs of recovery eventhough the chances were very slim.
I visited him the day before he died (the 3rd day he was warded) and the sight was not really encouraging. Seeing him lying weakly in the cage (every cat/patient was put in an individual cage) with a very thin & weak body brought tears to my eye. I'm not used to seeing him like that. He stared blankly into space & didn't react to my familiar call. Mata dia pun dah lain...i know then that his time would soon be gone. My hot tears were falling hard on my cheeks as i slowly petted him through the cage opening but the vet was calm & she understood the pain that i endured at that time. With a hesitated move, i made my way out after a brief discussion with the kind vet.
The next day he was gone.........
Here are some photos of his last few moments at the clinic....
my beloved..lied weakly in his cage a day before he died
stared blankly into space **tears flowing**...the furless area at his arm was where they poked in the drips
his body was wrapped & disinfected immediately after his death by the clinic's staff. After office, i picked the body up while at home hubby had already dug his graveyard..we buried him as soon as i reached home....
the clinic where he received treatment from 12th-16th december, i got to pay less cos when ur pet dies, u'll get discounts..they care for the owner's loss it seems
Saiful during his good old time...**tears flowing again**...thanks for giving us so much joy & laughter

Awww...he missed me!
I thought only my family misses me when i was away for the workshop, it turns out that the little fella here also kinda notice my absent, bila syamariz balik rumah macam biasa dia datang la sambut kan, but this time he is overly manja...tihihi..macam rindu je lama tak jumpa
When i was bz checking out my mails & stuffs petang tu, dia datang dok kat katil, sort of looking at what i was doing & demanded my TLC (Tender Loving Care)..ok so i petted his head, tickled his tummy & rub his chin until he finally fall asleep, geee..what a spoilt little fat orange cat : )
But that was that..after that he's back to normal, meaning he's over with the "rindu"ness...
aaaahhh..finally my mommy is home! i can get rid of the nightmare already..
hmmmm..what was my password again, oh yeahhh..miowww
mmmm..prrrrr....just what i need..a head massage, legaaa..urkkk
By the way..my name is Saiful aka Sepol (pronounced say-pool)..sorry for making a cameo in todays entry, i'm equally important to my mommy as the rest of the family..prrrr
