The Memories From Last Year

The next day I woke up early as usual and got ready for the new day. The weather was really good. I was in the terrace and saw some roasters and chickens roaming around in the garden of our neighbor. I could hear so many noises of nature. Then I came down and went to the flower garden. In the stairs I saw a cat sleeping in a weird posture. Here is a picture of it-

So this was it👆. But after that it turned around and sat straight. Then that day went very well. I had very fun. At that night, while I was giving the left over foods to the cats and kittens, I saw two little kitty coming with its mother who didn't have a tail. It lost it tail because of a accident. In our place they that a cat without a tail is dangerous, they are always angry and can bite or scratch you. I just thought it must be some old rumors, and didn't believe it. So I continued to pour the rice and milk in a bowl. There were many cats who came to it that day. And the two little kitties, they were too small to eat anything else than their mothers milk.

Seeing the two kitties, it reminded me of what happened last year 2020. It was really sad. Let me tell it to you. We came to my maternal house during the vacation. And there was a cat family living in our backyard. Here's a picture of one of the siblings and its mother sitting in the shed of some plants

There was the parents and four little kittens. Among the four kittens, one of them was really weak, so weak that also if it is scared and needs to run away, it will take much more time for it to get up and run than that of its siblings. They were all cute but the weak one was very thin and we could easily see its ribs through its skin. I gave them milk everyday and noticed that all of them drank it except the weak one. When it went to drink it either it was finished or the other kittens didn't let the weak one drink. Seeing that I gave it milk to drink in another little bowl which was only for the weak one and it really drank the whole of it slowly. During our stay that year in my maternal house, I saw that the weak one grew a little healthy and I had hope that it will grow up very soon. But the day before our return, the weak one became more weak because it was out in the rain last night and had caught a cold. I gave it warm milk to drink but it didn't want to drink it. It grew more and more weak. It was unable to walk properly, and always sat still with its head down. Then my father, grabbed it and tried to make it drink the milk, thinking it would work, but it didn't. Well the day we were supposed to return to Kolkata(my home), we found it dead. It was lying still in the backyard below a jackfruit tree. I was very sad and wanted to cry there but I didn't, for I never wanted my family to know my sensitive side. Well it was very disappointing. But that's how the world works right?
