Still remember Melissa a.k.a Kacik a.k.a Furball? If you're not sure which one, she's the one whose right eye turns tinted purple, then became cloudy, and she gets blind. Those who came to Bubu's Shelter for boarding or adopt may remember her as the one who will walk to your leg, roll her body around, searching for your attention. Though she start to loss her ability to walk, she will still force herself to your leg; walking slowly just to get a stroke of love.
Yes, that's Melissa. When she was 2.5 months old, I found her under a car nearby my home. She was scared. It was a few days after we brought back The Cheras kittens. When I met her with The Cheras kittens, she was totally over excited. She mix along with The Cheras well and became their big sister. She grooms everyone. She never hissed to any new comers. She's the only kitten who has so many name. Furball because she loves to ball out herself. Kacik because she doesn't grow big but instead, grow longer. Her body like being stretched.
Months passed by, all The Cheras kittens were adopted. She remains here with me. Whenever she sees me, she'll come forward, begging for hugs and kisses. As her eyes worsen, she gets skinnier, her fur fall outs til her tummy is bold. She can't walk normally, sometimes she crawls. We sent her to vet for operation . After the operation, she starts getting better. Her fur grows, and she has big appetite. Not until one day, she lay down for one whole day on the cat bed. I found out that she can't walk anymore so I caged her so she can easily eat the food without walking. Everyday I need to clean the cage's tray because she cant climb the litter box to pee or poo. So all her poo and pee drains down to the tray. Everyday I massage her leg. I learn it during Kristy the twisted legged kitty case. Thank God, she was able to walk again, though very slow and unstable. After a few steps, she'll fall. But she was so determent to be normal again.I was happy to see her milking Bender and his siblings. They even sleep together.
A few week past, Melissa lost the ability to walk again. So I caged her and do the same routine over and over again. Her left eye starts to develop tears stain. So many of them till it harden and covers her eyes within 1-2 days. I cleaned her, and stroke her head and body. I know she loves it. Though she's sick, she's trying her best to survive. She purrs..
On 8th September 2009, I arrived home from work, seeing Melissa laying down. Lifeless. She's gone to heaven. I never thought that yesterday was the last day I hear her purring. I never knew, yesterday was the last day she hears me saying, "I love you, Kacik." I know deep in her soul, she is relieved, all her pain is set free. Happy in heaven with everyone else. I bet she's playing with Ammar and the rest of the cats, in heaven..
