Today, was just another day in the house... Chores, tv, meal repeated throughout the day. As I was minding my own business; making trips to the kitchen from the living room, I heard a weird noise. It was just past sunset and I was all alone at home. No one has come back from work yet.
At first, I tried to ignore it. But as it grew louder, something hit me. The cats!!! I haven't fed them all day! That was when I rushed upstairs and feed the cats while apologizing for being super late.
As sat there, watching the poor creatures eat, I can't help but feeling overwhelmed. Adik has been keeping Didi since I went back to Malacca for my fourth year. And I've been babysitting her and Dido numerous times during semester break. There were days when Adik forgot to feed her precious and sometimes they were left home with little food when we went for journeys. Never had I heard them cry for food out of hunger. Today was the first time she had done so. This is only because of her young kittens.
I was so touched to see the cat's maternal instinct. If an animal could care so much for their offspring, why can't a human?
