Life is just like sailing in the ocean. It’s always rough and we hardly sail through a calm sea. Eventhough sometimes we manage to sail through a calm sea, we must always accept the fact that no ocean can be calm forever and storm will definitely come uninvited. Well, that’s what happened to my family recently. We’ve lost ‘somebody’ that we really love and the lost thought us about how fragile our life is and how powerful the God is. He could give to anybody He pleases and may also take back anything that He wishes. It was not actually ‘someone’ that we lost recently, but more to something. I defined it as someone because he was very close to us and he is also a part of our family member. It was our cat named Viey.
He was very special and different compared to other cats. He was very special in a sense that the way he sits. He would let his stomach to touch the floor and spread his legs in opposite side rather than sitting normally like other cats. Other than that, Viey would only drink from a running water from a pipe. That means, somebody must open a pipe for him and waited for the water to flow out from the pipe and form a thread of flowing water from which Viey would drink from it. Viey also had a very high taste in his diet. He would not eat anything else other than his cat food (IAMS) which cost around RM 80 for a month. We always give the best to our beloved cat. My mother once threw a fresh fish in front of him just to see his reaction. He got up and sniff the fish before he walk away from it. Isn’t it awkward to see cat that would only ignore a fresh fish lying in front of him? But that’s what Viey would do. His other habit was, every morning after he was released from his cage, the first person that he would look for was my mother. Then he would patrol around our house which his territory and he marked his territory just the same way as other cats would do(you know how*watch national geographic channel*). Sometimes my mother’s clothes would also become his territory. One of the bravest thing that Viey had ever done was when we first moved to Penang and he came with my mother by car. He was very calm along the way and did not cause any problem.
The sudden lost of Viey gave a very huge emotional impact to our family. I treated him exactly like my brother and the lost made me feel as if I lost a brother. The most affected person due to the lost of Viey was my mother. She felt as if she had lost a son and I felt also as if I lost a brother. We pampered Viey very much as he was the youngest in the family. The sudden death of Viey was very tragic. The cause of his death was not known either he was beaten to death by some inhuman creature for some insane reason or he was bitten by a snake. Whatever causes his death, only God knows and He wouldn’t do something that is useless to His servant and everything happens for a reason. God is fair. One thing for sure is, Viey was one of the sweetest things that ever happened in our family.
