Petty Issues!

The war again! Me asking, arguing, fighting, begging mom to let me have a pet! I don’t know why parents don’t understand. Uph! First I started out strong saying I want a puppy. Straight denial, added with a look of “good joke, go mind your business!”. Yet, I ventured to try again today, saying I want a turtle. Well, I have been certified to be mad. :D but then, I cant say I am really bothered. :P

So today, I have decided: I am gonna sneak in a pet one fine day. I was suddenly reminded of the day when I brought home a homeless kitty which was meowing pitifully on the road as I made my way back home from the bus stop. That day, I was in a fix as to what to feed it. Barely a week old, the olive-sized eyes were the only attractive part of the skinny thing. It’s cries made me anxious, for I had no idea what I should feed it. A saucer of milk was the first thing that came to my mind. But it wouldnt drink it and continued to meow, loudly this time. Then I called up a friend who once had a cat in the house. I drew a blank there too. I was told, the kitten is too young and that he had no idea what it could drink. Then came the moment I most dreaded. The calling bell! I got so badly scolded for bringing it home in the first place. Not having much choice I left it back at the same place I found it. :( :(

Normally that would have been the end of it, but not this time. A couple of days later, I found my little friend sitting under my two-wheeler! I was astonished when it recognized me and came out of the shadows, meowing. At the same time I was devastated at how much it had thinned during the time. Well, I had to find it a home. I went around the area looking for an animal home, but no luck! So I took things into my own hands. I went around my apartment looking for a possible home for it in my building. After almost a whole hour of search, a driver agreed to take it home. I thanked him over and over again. :) :)

Now came the tough part, saying bye. :( kitty had made itself comfortable in my arms during the search and wouldn’t leave me! What attachment! With a heavy heart, I bid goodbye to the short but very sweet friendship.
