Menjadi Manusia Penyayang.

Di Ubud Monkey Forest Bali, tahun lalu, menyalami kawan.

Malam hari di bulan puasa, kami berusaha untuk sholat tarawih berjamaah di masjid dekat rumah kami. Setidaknya sampai mulai ada undangan buka bersama haha.. Untuk menuju masjid, kami melewati sebuah rumah yang memelihara beberapa ekor anjing, yang (salah satu atau beberapa) selalu menyalak jika ada pejalan kaki lewat di depan rumah tersebut.

Tadi malam, saat melewati rumah itu di perjalanan pulang, seperti biasa ada gonggongan menyapa kami. Kami tidak takut atau lari, karena anjing-anjing di rumah itu dikurung dalam kandang.
"Kasihan sebenarnya, anjing-anjing itu dikurung," kataku pada Ibit.
Ibit lalu bercerita, bertahun-tahun yang lalu ketika dia masih SD, di rumah itu hanya ada seekor anjing. Anjing itu kurus dan tampak tidak terurus. Waktu itu Ibit masih sering jalan kaki ke rumah temannya di dekat masjid.
"Kalau main ke rumah Nabila, aku bawa satu sosis dari rumah untuk anjing itu."
Anjing kurus itu, kata Ibit, harusnya gagah, seperti Timmy anjing anggota Lima Sekawan. Tapi kurus sampai terlihat tulangnya, dan bulunya kusut kusam.
Entah apakah anjing itu masih anjing yang sama sekarang, pasti sudah sangat tua. Entah apakah juga pemilik  yang sama. Kami tidak pernah melihat manusia pemiliknya.
.
Aku tidak akan tahu, kalau Ibit tidak bercerita tadi malam. Aku tidak tahu, kenapa Ibit baru bercerita sekarang. Mungkin dia takut aku melarang dia mengambil sosis untuk anjing. Padahal sekarang, aku hampir menitikkan air mata, haru dan bangga, karena anakku memiliki rasa iba pada makhluk yang menderita. Iya, makhluk yang oleh banyak orang dibenci karena najis.
.
"Kalau tidak najis, aku pengin memelihara anjing," kata Ibit.
Iya, aku juga. Karena anjing lebih cerdas dan lebih perasa ketimbang kucing. Sayangnya akan sangat repot buat kami untuk memelihara anjing tanpa merantai atau mengurungnya di kandang.
Maka cukuplah kami memelihara kucing. Dan aku yakin, ketika bahkan agama dapat dijadikan alasan permusuhan; berteman dengan binatang akan menumbuhkan kasih sayang. Bukan hanya pada sesama manusia (terlebih pada sesama manusia), tapi juga pada makhluk Tuhan lainnya.
Supaya jangan pernah terlintas sekelebatan pun di benak mereka, benci, apalagi kata 'bunuh'.

the accident

Photo: kucing jawa memang lincah dan tak bisa diam. kami tak tahu ke mana Cempluk main kemarin siang, sore hari dia pulang dalam keadaan luka parah dan tak mau dipegang. dokter hewan baru bisa menolongnya tengah malam, ketika dia sudah kehabisan darah dan koma. napasnya berhenti begitu kami sampai di rumah. and there was nothing we could do. bye, Cempluk.

Yesterday afternoon Cempluk, our little kitten, get home wounded. Her leg was broken and bleeding so badly. We tried to give her a help but she was like screaming every time we tried to touch her.We called the vet but he was out of town and might be home late.

At about nine the vet texted me, he just got home but so tired and sleepy. He couldn't see Cempluk then and promised to come in the morning. I tried to just accept that. But at about eleven before we should be going to bed, Ibit took a look at Cempluk and found the kitten didn't move at all. Ibit thought she was died. I saw her and find her still breathing. I immediately brought her to the vet's home and ask for some help.

He was shocked to see Cempluk's condition. He didn't think it was that bad. Oh it was, so bad. He said Cempluk must have been hit by a car. We couldn't figure out who's car that could be. Coz' ours didn't get out the carport the whole day.

The vet started to suture the wound, while observing Cempluk. He said Cempluk was already in a comma for losing too much blood and bearing too much pain, she didn't respond the light that was directed to her eyes. 

So after it was done, we brought Cempluk home. And right when we got home and I brought the basket out of the car, we found that Cempluk was no longer breathing.

We did what we could. Wasn't the best I know. We should've tried to find other vet to help her as soon as possible. I do hope this would never happen again.

Good bye, Cempluk.

Niki and the suspense.

This morning began with a suspense. the boys were looking for Niki. We haven't seen her since yesterday evening. The last time she was seen by Ibit at around 4 pm. Hurt, lying near the fence.

Nanny said Niki's leg might have been crushed when Dan unpark the car out of the carport. I was opening the block gate. The kids we're at their friends' house. So there was no one who made sure no cat were lying under the car.

As the car went out, Nanny heard Niki crying out. She got out the house to check out and found Niki's leg was hurt.

No body told me about this until this morning. So I was kinda panic. We tried to seek Niki but couldn't find it. I went to office with so not abysmally feeling. I thinj I cried a little bit thinkin of Niki.

This afternoon Ir texted me saying Niki was found. One of his leg was lame and at seem hurts. I told him to just let her have some rest, give her some milk and food for her to soon be healed. Hopefully.

Huft...

Parking and unparking has been a traumatic moment. Two kitten has been killed accidentally. Now Niki get her leg hurt.

Think we have to be more careful after this.

They left for heaven.


Not these ones. Kiki and Niki are left here, on earth. This evening, Naka just left us. Hit by a car, no body knows whose car it was. Ibit found it lying on the ground, bloody, and dead.

Our cats are specials. They always welcome us when ever we come from any where. It's wonderful, but dangerous at the same time. They like to run beside the rolling wheels. The kids have to hold them each time I or Dan need to get the car in or outta the garage. Once the kids were in their Qur'an Class, nobody could carry them while I drove. I had to put the cats in the car until I finished parking.

Dan hit Nowy I few months ago. Since then we always have been aware about the cats around the parking area. Parking and unparking has become a traumatic moment. Well, we did our best. But we can't prevent other cars from passing by in front of our house while the kittens playing around...

I know I have a picture of Naka, just not sure in which cell phone I keep it. Later when I find it, I'll upload it here.

Hh....
Bye bye, Naka. Have you met Nuku, Nowy I and Nowy II, and play with them in heaven?
