Animal Anecdotes 5 : Tiger the returning kitten
2010
As of writing now, I can hear a few tiny meowing from Tiger coming out from our front lawn. Tiger’s out of the blue return to the house has becoming increasingly annoying and rather disturbing to whole household. The reason being:
A: the last we saw Tiger and his family ( a cat mom and another brother kitten whom had famously got stucked inside our car’s rim) was when we chased the family out from the drain ( that was in late April this year)because the kittens were literally littering the place with foul feces and the smell permeates right into the family living room.
B: we NEVER at any condition allowed or invited or welcome any animals in this case a cat to make our home their home because knowing cats, they are good for only asking for food and pooping around the lawn. Also, not that they are going to protect or provide any kind of returning security for us unlike what a loyal dog will do. It is one of those take and no giving relationship that we had gone through many times with most cats that we had.
C: Tiger came unannounced and unexpectedly crying desperately for food and he looked like he has seen better days with runny nose, ticks, dirtied eyes and scrawny looking because its ribs are showing. The kitten has even the nerves to try sneaking into our front door whenever there’s a chance and I never understand why. Why for returning after more than a month? Why keep coming back after we had chased him out again? Oh why?
Another part reason to Tiger being consistent and relentless about sticking around the house was the fact that I gave him food. Oh yes I did! One major mistake done. However you tell me, how can you have no mercy seeing a wailing kitty, looking very hungry, dirty and skinny just like in these photos below and go on about in life like nothing is happening right in front of you?
Tiger eating the left over fish I was making a fuss about in the morning because someone in the house didn't eat it and left it to be thrown away. Luckily Tiger the kitten came along.
He got his name from this Tiger Poster by WWF he was eating on. That piece of paper was picked out by chance and what do you know it had to be a Tiger poster. On a side note, do support the Tiger mission by WWF wil you!
We are still contemplating on what to do with this cat. Someone got a bright idea to throw it far away from the house so that he can have a chance of the real life outside our home or more accurately, quit popping around the house and pooping around as well. If you are in my shoes, what will you do with this poor kitty?

ive tried both:
1. keep ‘em – i use to kutip the lil’ kitten, feed her until she grown up n she make babies.
then later..when we r unfortunately short of ‘staff’ to take care of the babies, so;
2. we throw them away. distance counts are +- after 2 traffic lights
quite far from home.
consequences;
1. i sure2 la pity the babies – around 4months old. comel lagi
2. go to town, bump into the uglier one. had to take her back bcoz she looks so kesian & skinny dunno how to find food for herself. sigh. we believe the cute one has been taken away by someone
well, in short. it’s either u keep it or throw them far-far away. mine, is diff. cases. bcoz those will always come n go replacing the existing one.
Keeping the cat is obviously out of question since no one will have time to care for it. Glad that he’s gone as of yesterday. I hope he will stay away that way for long since we are ignoring him. Hehe.
