MY HOUSE IS A ZOO #1: A TRIBUTE TO JURUK

*JURUK = ditch; open passage or trench, as a natural channel or waterway. (parit)

assalamualaikum.

this is a post dedicated to Juruk.

he's a kitten found in the ditch behind our house.

we heard meows for almost 2 nights.

so the next day we decided to check on it.

andy climbed over the fence

to find that the kitten was all alone in the drain and was very cold.

mama bathed him for he was filthy.

Alep breastfed Juruk.

Alep refused at first 'cos we forced her.

heheh.

but then we put Juruk together with Alep's babies 

and Alhamdulillah

Alep was officially Juruk's foster mom.

after a few weeks feeding on Alep,

we saw no weight gain.

Juruk wass still small as how we found him on the first day.

but still,

he was very active, moving from here to there,

following footsteps.

until yesterday,

August 6, 2012

as i was hanging clothes outside,

i saw Juruk laying down 

with his mouth open.

i texted mama bout it.

so right after iftar,

andy buried him.

and so that's the story of Juruk the kitten.

Juruk

Alep the adopted mother

Juruk's adopted sister

another of Juruk's sister

more of Juruk

and another one

i could say that my house is one whole of a zoo full of cats, hamsters and a tortoise.

a cat named putih. mind the basin in the drain.

Putih's kitten. she doesnt take care of her babies properly

another one of the kitten

 

remeber Jibeng the blind cat? 

le hamsters in the aquarium

Putih has another kitten but i didnt manage to take her photo. ALL the kittens look awful because they were all raped by the stray male catswho always come over for food. i call the poor kittens 'anak lorong' heheh.

i'll the their story some other time maybe. each and every one of them has their own story.

so til we meet again!

assalaaaaaamualaikum 

and 

toodles!
