yesterday we found a dead cat by the side of the busy road, 200m away from home. the cat's head was flattened and the body was stiff and hard by the time my maid and i decided to go and have a look..

dear hubby told me about it in the morning, saying that it looked like pumpkin, our highly-strung one and a half year old female cat. i didn't take much heed of it, thinking it was too far for our de-sexed cats to be wandering about. furthermore i had a lunch appointment to rush to that day..

by the time i got back around 7pm, my maid was telling me that pumpkin never came back for lunch and was not seen around the house all day long even towards dinner time. therefore as soon as my maid finished cooking dinner, both of us along with ikmal went for a short drive looking for any dead bodies along the busy road..

oh my, my heart started to pound.. coz the dead cat that we immediately found really looked like pumpkin..!! all the colour combinations, one black legging, white tummy, long tail.. all seemed to match..!! we tried to look for the little 'tahi lalat' on her small nose that could positively confirmed our worst nightmare.. but couldn't find it due to the bloodied nose and mouth. as we tried to hold back our tears, we decided there and then to bring home the body for burial..

once home, we put the stiff body at the porch for hubby to bury it once he comes home from work that night. i called melissa down from her room while wondering how she'd react, coz pumpkin was a favourite of hers...
