Sigh of the Kitten

Today my roommate and I got a third roommate...ummm....a third third roommate (we actually had two other 'third roommates'). And he'll be staying for the whole summer with us. Well, with my roommate - I'll be flying back home on the 25th this month, but while I'm here I'll be watching out for him as well. Say hello to Kiro!

I've mentioned Kiro already before. His owner Nellysha was going to Moscow for the next few days, and then flying back to Malaysia for the rest of the summer. So Sandun had agreed on caring for Kiro for the summer, but he had something to do right now which kept him busy, so Selva and I took Kiro in. And the best part is: neither of us has the experience of caring for a pet before. Selva never had a pet before, and as for me....I had three cats once but they weren't mine and I was not around much when the cats were taken in by my family. The reason was simple: I was allergic to animal furs/hairs. So when I was staying in the hostel back then, my family began taking cats in.

 So at first we played with Kiro. Nellysha told us that Kiro already had his nature calls earlier so for the rest of the day he wouldn't be asking for another one, although it could happen. So we played, and played, and played.......

 Man that furball got loads of energy!! We're the ones tired instead of him, and we're planning to tire him out so that he'd go to sleep.

 Finally we left him to entertain himself. Gave him his cat food and water. Amy came by to kidnap him while I was cooking dinner, and returned him half an hour later when I was about done. The kitten continued to play by himself lah because no one to entertain him....

Then he got tired and landed on my bed while I was eating. Bukan main lagi.... Couldn't resist myself to snap a photo of him.

Couple of hours later. Alahai sedapnya dia tido terbongkang camtu....habis tu 'tuan sementara' dia ni nak tido mana?

At least with Kiro around I get to keep my parting anxiety in check. But then again....I'll be missing him too when I go back. Ah well, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. For now, it seems that we're doing each other good - there was a moment while he was on my bed that he had this sad look on him. Probably thinking of his partner-in-crime sort of big brother to him, Ruii, who by now is at Malaysia in quarantine methinks. And all his other caretakers are away as well, leaving him with me, my roommate and my neighbor. Sandun has the most experience with taking care of pets, but I guess me and roommate will be learning a few stuffs on our own along the line. But we're glad nonetheless of the new addition to our room.

Let's just hope that he won't pee and crap around the room. He's supposed to be toilet-trained, but then again he's a kitten and has been living in nomad his whole three months of life, so who knows.
