Pets & Me

I have a very weak defense against cute little things. It has always been an issue. And today, I bumped into this pure white breed cat. It was so cute and pretty! My heart immediately melted when it started following me back home. I couldn't help but snapped pictures of this cute little ball of fur.

This little incident reminded me why I can't have pets. These little beings generally have a shorter life span and I can't stand the fact that I have to experience "departure" when their time is up. Devastating. Having to experience someone leaving is already painful, much less death.

I still remembered my relatives leaving their doggie in my family for 2 weeks while they were on a trip. My defenses towards the doggie were kept high at all times despite its intelligence and adorability. I ensured that I maintained minimal interaction with it while I was at home. My mum took care of it even though she was afraid of dogs. I guessed she managed to overcome her fear in that short span of time. I remembered how it wagged its tail whenever I came back home. It always exuded exuberance and those eyes, let's not even go there...

I was taken aback and my defenses were a little shaken whenever it did that. But I was rational enough to do what I think was "right" at that point of time. Those 2 weeks were rather surreal. Honestly, I felt a tinge of sadness when it left our family. I purposely kept myself in the room and never said goodbye to it. Couldn't imagine how sad I would be if I started to develop feelings for it.

And later on, I realised my relatives sent that doggie away because they couldn't commit. I was rather furious when I heard the news. If they can't take care of it, why bother to bring it home in the first place? Bunch of irresponsible people.

Doggie, I wonder where are you now?

Stop using those eyes to stare at me! Shooooo~~~ >_<
