The Passing of O.C...May The Other Side Of The World Shines Bright For You

I'm still thinking of my words for this post. For those who don't know, O.C has recently passed away yesterday (according to my mum, at 1745) after suffering what is diagnosed as kidney failure. It is a sad news and a great lost to the family who have loved him so very much. I'm dedicating this post as a tribute to the adorable feline who coloured the lives of the family all this time.

It was 5 years ago when O.C was brought back home by Yaya. My mum was never a pet lover, and initially didn't really agree for him to enter our lives. It will be such a hassle taking after a pet, she initiially thought. Little by little, that negativity turned for the better, and was well accepted by all of us.

It is hard not to recognize O.C when you enter the house. He is perhaps the reincarnation of Garfield in real life (minus the colour and the attitude of course). I think he was last weighed at 6.5 kilos. Yeah, that surpises many, I'm sure. His way of sleeping is also funny, sleeping pretty much like human (tido terkangkang)..He's quite the kampong type of cat; he can smell fish in the kitchen prepared for lunch right from the front entrance. Once left unguarded, he will make his move and ruined everything. Eventually, he got scolded, haha. That's all he cares about, eat and sleep (which explains his roundness). He may sometimes act all psycho and run here and there for no reason at all. He's very pantang when he sees the front door opened, he try his best to get outside to fight other outside cats. He's quite a bully towards his 'sister', Cendol.

But what we loved about him is his 'manja'ness. He will come near you and purr on your tummy, he will walk along the top part of the couch and starts licking your head, he'll regularly come next to you and gesel gesel at your feet. He even sleeps with my dad and my sister when they want him too. He enjoys sightseeing when our maid was doing her chores outside the yard.

I'm not sure if this is the right length of what I'm planning to write, but I'll stop here. Despite everything that has happened, good or bad, one thing is for sure; he is family. We are truly sad of this lost, and he will be missed. The house sure feels different now without you. We love you, O.C...
