My new world!

I’m a person who loves dogs and cats so much. But 3 years ago, I hated dogs and cats so much. I was afraid of dogs. I thought dogs were not friendly and fierce. When I saw a dog, I must walk away as fast as I could. About cats, I was not afraid but I didn’t like them. I’ve never had any pet because my parents didn’t like cats and dogs.

But there was a big change in my life when I was 20 years old. One day, there was a cat came to my house. No one liked her because she was black and quite ugly. My father brought her to but she could come back to my house every time. My uncle would bring her to his office in Sa Moeng district. I sympathized her so much so I asked my parents to allow her stay with us. I said to my parents “I would not let her come into house, I would give her only dry cat food, took care of her by myself and I would not disturb parents. I was very excited because I have never played and fed any cats. She was so cute. When I called her name, Kitty , she must run to me.

I brought her to animal hospital near my house to take vaccinations and check up her health. She was sterilized. After that, she turned to be a stubborn cat. She bit me and clawed me very often. But I still loved her and let her sleep in my bed every night. I bought her expensive dry cat food, beautiful clothes and toys. I felt the love that I’ve never known before. I could say I love her as my life.

One day, I could remember it was Sunday in January. I had to go to my friend’s dorm to do some group work. I could remember that kitty wore yellow sweater because the weather was cold. She sat at the garage before I left home. I came home at noon and my parents told me they didn’t find Kitty for 3 hours after I went out. It was strange because every time she was called she must run to house. So, I decided to ride a bicycle around the village. I shouted but no answer from Kitty. I was very nervous and worried .I missed her a lot. Before I came back home, I saw something in the bush in front of my house. It was black. My heart beat so hard. I walked closer and closer. Yes, It was kitty. But…………………..She lied down, eyes were closed a lot of wounds in her body. I tried to lie myself she was still OK. She was tired and lied down. I couldn’t lie myself at all. She was dead. She was bitten by dog. I started to shout, cried and screamed. Everybody ran out and asked what happened. I said “Kitty was dead”

My mother , my aunt and my younger sister started to cried. I was very shocked. At that moment, I felt my heart was gone. I cried like a mad. I couldn’t touch her even I loved her so much. I didn’t want how hurt she was. I told my father to dig a hole and buried her. She was bitten at neck. Her ear was torn. Her leg was broken. I could not stop crying I said only buried her. I didn’t want to see her like this. That night I couldn’t sleep alone. I moved to my parent’s room for a half month. I cried for many days even if in classrooms. I couldn’t control myself.

Kitty made me realize that what love is? Who can tell the real definition of the word “love”? Some say love is sharing, forgiving and understanding. Some say love is sadness, horribleness and a nightmare. For me, love is an unexplainable thing. We know it by heart. There are many kinds of love in this world. It depends on our point of view. In some small space, there is the precious love we still look over. My heart was opened since I met her. I saw the world in the new point of view. I saw stray animals around me. I began to help them. Two years since my heart was gone, there’s a day I never think of her. Kitty never dies from me. She just takes a long sleep in the garden. She’s not my first pet but she is my first love… the love I’ve never knew it before.
