Why Do I Love My Pet?

Why do i love my pet? Hmm... Why do I love my pet? Hmm... Why do I love my pet? Hmm..(the so many times of hmm..is due to soo many things that i love about her and i don't know where to start)
Because my pet has a mantap booty like Jennifer Lopez's and that is the reason as to why i love her. She came into my life as a birthday pressie from my sis. My sis went to my mom's friend's house and saw her lying lazily right under a bird's cage which was hung very low and is in her reach. And yet, being the very kind hearted lil kitty, she ignored to torture the birdie despite that it runs in her nature and instead, prefers licking her bootylicious booty. How cool is that?? And on top of that, she prefers to stay lying there rather than to have some healthy exercise chasing the chickens like what other cats around her were doing(maybe this was the 'secret' to her bootyliciousness). So the uniqueness in her caught my sis' attention and somehow decided to ask the owner whether is it possible if she wanted to adopt her as a birthday pressie for me? And surprisingly, the owner said YES without much hesitation and kept on reminding my sis how a very good natured cat she is. So my sis' brought her back and gave her to me. From that day onwards, we were BEST buddies. This was somewhere back in 2001 and i was sweet 16 back then and STILL am a sweet 16 now :p.(the historic day took place somewhere around april 2001 and she was approx 8 months then)

This is miss jLO. She is soo adorable, and a truly scady cat as she is sooo scared of mice, rats, frogs, and even cicak. She'll go hiding if you scream for help. Or worse case scenario, she'll run and jump into your lap instead. So, you'll end up carrying her instead of her saving you shooing away the pest. She is the best sleep partner i have. Thanx to her fluffy soft fur, it always made me warm during the nights. During the first few months she started to live with us, she kept on sleeping on my chest. I was mortified during my sleep as i thought that i was being pressed down by something ie the satan or the jins or something something to my bed(kena tindih ngan hantu ke apa ke..:p). I felt a sudden heavy weight being put on my chest and it was hard to breath. Even though i was frightened to the max, i still managed to force myself to open a teenie bit of my eyes to see what exactly was there. AND there was something, alright. It was my dear jLO. So, I would cuddle her till morning came and she'll purr all her might into my face breathing out the smell of royal canine biscuits into my face(euuwww..eheheh).

Why the name jLO u might ask. Easy! It is due to her big butt. No kidding. Every single one of my friend would ask me whether or not she is pregnant. And the answer is always a NO. It's just pure FAT. Even her doctor advised me to watch her diet and MAKE her exercise. Now, can you tell me how to 'watch' a cat's diet when the only thing that she consumed was d royal canine biscuits? And i've followed exactly what and how mu8ch the portion that I was supposed to give to her per day. But being the superb cheeky cat and a smart one too, she'll wake me to feed her every morning by licking and nibbling on my ears, then after she has finished the portion that i have given her, she will then proceed to ask my mom to feed her. Her routine continues up till there was nobody else to ask from until its time for her lunch/dinner again. So can you imagine having a meal multiply by 4??hehehe smart huh? Her trick came to our knowledge when one fine day, my mom was scolding me and giving me a word or two for not feeding my dear jLO. And thus, my friend, her cover was blown to pieces. And on the exercising part, I bought plenty of toys for her to play with and I was the one who ended up running around without her budging even an inch. So i changed my strategy. I'll carry her to the furthest point in the house far away from the feeding bowl and then I'll call her to her feeding bowl even when it is not time for meal. That is the only time my dear friend, that, she will RUN and she can RUN very fast. Its very cute though as you can see her booty swaying from side to side. Funny. And i'll repeat the process up to 3/4 times and then will feed her. She always falls for it.:p She'll do anything and everything for FOOD. I guess..!:p



gambar tido je pulak yang ada.
As you can see, i love making her wear princesses' dresses. It's not meant for torture but I have my own reasons. One of it was, jLO eventually grew FAT enough till she can't reach her booty to lick it. So after each and everytime going to the toilet(she is a toilet trained kitty) and also after each and every time the booty bein washed and all wet, she was not able to lick it. She is a smart cat didn't i tell you that earlier? So she came up with other ways of drying it. (Imagine this)She sits in a sitting cat position and will drag herself slowly as if she is walking on her two front feet whilst her booty is glued down to the carpet/my bedsheet/or somewhere comfy. The first time that i saw her doing that, I cant help except to burst out laughing. And being a sensitive cat, she merajuk and turn away and 'walk' the opposite direction making sure she wasn't facing me. This is not the reason as to why she is forced to wear dresses YET. Bear with me ya dearies i'm almost there. So, her favourite hobby is to lick herself till she vomits hairballs. And she tends to vomit on my pillow, on my bed, on my bags and simply, EVERYWHERE that she loves 'lepaking'. So I decided to either wear her a collar which sounds very uncomfy and even looks uncomfy, OR i could get her some clothes instead. So that she will get fed up of licking herself coz she can't get to her fur as it is covered by her dress. But to my dismay, she managed to munch and rip some of her clothes to pieces. I need to wash her clothes every 2/3 weeks cause if it were worn more than that duration, than it will be easier for her to tear apart the clothes. Maybe due to the saliva and the fact that she is comfy to chew on her clothes that is infested with her saliva rather than the ones which smells and taste of washing detergent. After wearing it for years, and when zizou aka zinedine zidane(my other cat) came into our lives, she learns from him the art of taking her clothes off. Please do not have any naughty thoughts. Dua-dua mandul sudaa..:p Her clothes costs more than mine. Judging from the brands, design and the amount of cloth used. The cheapest would be around RM40++ and can go up to hundreds of ringgit thou there are even the ones that is being sold at thousand of ringgit. Sheesh..what a waste of money spending rm thousands just for your pets clothes??helloo??? Don't know what to do with the money??Fine,you can donate it to me instead so I can then donate the money to orphanage. (Ops, ter'emo' and terlari topik sudaa...:p sorry..okie okie..back to topic of discussion) And every Raya, my mom and ayah will donate some money to me to buy jLO's baju raya. And they will MAKE sure that I do get her some baju for raya. AND also grooms her ie shower, pedicure/manicure tapi home version sahaja where i am the hostess..:P She hates me sooo much during those times. She will merajuk and i have to pujuk her. Merajuk don't want to sleep with me, don't want me to feed her etc.
bestfriends at sleep.
She is one big booty spoilt cat i'd tell you. We never leaves her behind every single raya. Or just basically everytime whenever we were on holidays, she is sure to follow. Only to places that she is allowed except if we were to stay at a hotel where they don't allow pets. And during those times, I would rather hire a 'babysitter'(babysitter sebab me and family panggil dia baby jLO) than sending her to the nursery;'the vet pet hotel'. Try sending her to the 'pet hotel' then you will be tortured by her for 3 weeks with the 'silent' treatment.:p My so called babysitter usually consists of my bff (emy diyana, sulastri) and my pet bro(own and the gang). They will stop over at the house and give her food, wash her and play with her. Just like what a babysitter does. And once the job are all done and that they make sure she is safe in the house, they'll go home and update me on her condition. She is a house cat and doesn't goes out of the house unless i was around to monitor. She can't run that fast minus the time when she is tempted with food. So she is an easy target to stray-gangsta's-paradise cats.

She got more spoilt over the years. Especially after having an operation. She developed a cyst inside her womb (cat's disease are similar of that to human's so don't be surprised if your cat can get diabetes and heart attack). And this is the cause of her being unproductive. Then she demands to be more pampered and spoilt. She have her own bedspread, blanket, a pillow and a teddy to hug to sleep. And before each and every time she'll go to sleep, she'll sure to pester me to get ready her things then only she'll sleep. She is the only cat i've known my entire life to have the power to make people who hates cats fall in love with cats and eventually see the goodness of cats. It happened to my bff (sulastri), my aunt (auntie yuyu), and another aunt (auntie yah). They despise cats and every single possible way, are afraid of them. She was a very very senang dipujuk lil kitty as when i decided to adopt zizou(the orange cat in the picture), it only took her less than 2 weeks to be okie with zizou. And according to my vet, that is a very fast adaptation. Jlo is indeed a sensitive cat but she can bring to reason if you were to talk to her softly and from the heart. She does listen and adhere to every single problems of mine. Some might say that i'm crazy talking to cats, but as a cat owner and a cat lover, i feel and am sure that jLO understands each and every single word that i tell her. And she understands better. She even understands every single problems that I have and im also sure that even when all she does say is meow but deep down inside my heart, she was just praying to Allah to give me courage to go thru every single obstacles in life. She was fated to be my companion from the day that my sis laid eyes on her. Having chemistry and getting along with cats are much more easier than getting along with humans. They don't ask much only ask to be loved. And gives everything that they have. They are indeed the best listener and the best comfort than u can seek from after Allah because of the warmth and the soft fur of their body.

Finally when miffy and ayra(not another cat but my human form baby) was here to stay, jLO was the one who babysits her during the day and nights where miffy/ayra will demand for milk, jLO will eventually run and meow to me as if telling me to feed the baby. And she will quietly sleep at ayra/ miffy's side to babysit and be my alarm if ever the angel wakes up. However or whatever the angels did to her, be it if they were to pull her tail, tickle her tummy, sit on her or just simply anything, she has never bit or scratch them or harm them in any way. The worst that she will do is meow for help. There are still lotsa and lotsa reason as to why i love jLO and the list will never stop. Every cat is unique in their own individual way and jLO is one of them. Proud to be given the chance to know and to live with such a wonderful superb WOW utmost truly awesome and so on and so on super duper cat.

jLO laid to sleep eternally on my hands. Her organs got infected with poison or something and somehow it ruined it. Don't ask me how or when cause i have not a clue. She is strictly a house cat and doesn't go out and there is no any hazardous rat poison or anything in the house. But maybe during the times when she sneaks out quietly with zizou to jalan2 around the neighbour's garden, she nibble on the grass that has been sprayed with toxic herbicides(correct me if im wrong) and that is just a theory of mine which will not and cannot be proven cause CSI doesn't do investigative job on cats death. To them its just a minor case, but to me its vice versa. She was severly wounded inside and somehow during the last few days before we managed to realise that jLO was not well, she still puts up a very strong act as if she is all fine. She refuses to eat and after bringing her to the vet, it was already too late. Nearly all of her vital organs had shut down ie the kidney and the liver. The vet told us that we have only 2 option. First, is to let her die slowly as there is nothing and no medicine can cure or ease the pain OR we could put her to sleep. The choice was put into my hand as she is my cat. Nearly everybody was present at her deathbed. My mom, my sis, my angels and lastly yours truly. My hubby was at work, my dad was on a business trip, and zizou was at home(hoping and praying to Allah that i made the right choice). I couldn't bear seeing her suffering in such pain. The only option that came to mind was to stop the suffering by hook or by crook. So i approach the doc and told  him that i chose the 2nd option. During her final moments, she refused for us to leave and pushed all her might to stand up and put her head on top of my palms. And I still remember the look in her eyes as if it was asking me to realise that i'm stronger now to endure all the obstacles without her by my side. And it was like begging me to be stronger as she knows that she won't be there anymore to hear my ramblings and to pray for my strengths. The image is still crystal clear in my mind up to this day. 



Tears comes crashing down everytime the memory comes to mind. Oh ALLAH, is there a thing as a heaven for cats? If so, pls put her there. She has been a very very good, and loyal cat to me. Nothing in this world can replace her. Not even a million of sterling pounds. i MISS her so much and no one can understand the feelin oh ALLAH.:[



And lastly, why do i love my pet? Because she was always there to share my sadness, nuttiness, happiness everything without even a glint of envy or judgement. She gave her everything up to her last day. My sis always questions me whether or not i have chosen the right solution for jLO. Or i should have let her lived instead and let her die naturally. But i never doubt my decision. As the last day that i looked into her eyes, i saw love, and her trust towards me and also i saw that she was telling me the decision i have chosen is the best for her and me. Rest in peace near Allah my dear jLO. Hope we will meet again in the hereafter and hope you'll be there to accompany me till forever. It has been a year++ without you by my side and so many things have happened. And thanx for trusting and making me realised of the strength i have in me. 
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH my dear pet cat, jLO.

Adlina, this...is the longest, saddest, heart-breaking and interesting story I've ever read!

The part where jLo died was extremely sad. It put me in tears. I know how it feels to lose something we love the most! I have a problem with dealing with a pet death. It takes me weeks to get over it...

So, 'bout the contest, I accept your entry! Cuma lagi bagus sekiranya dapat tengok gambar jLo with her owner/your family or friends as it is one of the rules - just to be fair with other contestants. I love reading your writing. So, I really wish you can insert one of the photo <3

But if it a bother, no worries (: We'll see how it goes nanti, ok?

Lastly, *thumbs up* for the touching story!
