Assalamualaikum and salam sejahtera ..terasa pulak nak wish proper for a change.
With regards to my earlier post, the one on Ugi, thank you everyone for your concern. Dils, Budak Kg, Hariaty, Jeet, Hernie & CN to name a few.
After 5 nights, Ugi was found, safe and sound. Albeit a little thin and very hungry. Kalau dia sakit and pergi depan mata macam mak dia Princess Boyot dulu, it would have been different. But this, not knowing were she was but knew she wouldn't know how or where to find food.
On that Thursday night, she must have slipped out through the front door. Well, she did this all the time...but we were always fully aware that she's out and would wait for another 5 or 10 minutes. Then dia akan mengiau or cakar pintu wanting to be let in. She's a scaredy cat, so takkan nak mduduk lama2 kat luar rumah. Keluar pun because nak makan rumput. Since rumah ni takde grill pintu or tingkap, we dare not leave any of the windows open for the cats to come in or go out as they please. Anyway, on the night, we didn't realise she had gotten out. All of us had gone upstairs to retire. Ugi is a quiet kind of cat as opposed to the other one who is vocal and would make his presence known...i thought she was in the kid's bedroom that night. The next morning, the maid rang up while i was at the office informing me that she hasn't seen Ugi at all since the night before. Dah cari2 sekeliling rumah. I balik kerja terus pusing2 keliling taman cari dia. Malam keluar lagi sambil goncang2 botol kibbles.
The next day and the next ++ routinenya bangun pagi cari dia dulu. Maid pi tanya2 workers alam flora and maid2 yg lain to keep a lookout for her. During that time terfikir2 kat mana dia menyorok...mesti dia takut...apa dia makan...apa dia minum...ataupun dah jadi arwah kena gigit dgn stray dogs. Lagipun rumah kami takde pagar...it's very exposed. Takde tempat yg dia boleh menyorok pun. I prayed to god, kalau dia mati sekalipun, i nak tengok body dia. The worse thing is not knowing..
On Monday masuk office, salah gunakan peralatan office pi print fliers 'kucing hilang' banyak2. And the next day, awal2 pagi lagi the maid pi masukkan dlm letter box neighbours. One hour after that ada orang call hp i...tak dapat i dia call MG. A neighbour's maid from a house that's about 100m away from hours jumpa Ugi menyorok belakang compressor aircond depa. Nak ditarik keluar dia marah2. I was on my way to a meeting but dah ready nak abandon meeting and balik rumah nak ambik anak bulu tu. Well, she's family. Anak i. Kalau my boss nak agro pada i masa tu pun, agrolah. Couldn't care less anymore. Sib baik 15 mins after that the maid called and said she managed to fish Ugi out from behind the compressor using her food as bait.
All was well. She lost a bit of weight. Asyik tido je satu hari tu. Mesti tired having to be on guard all the time while she was lost.
That night, another neighbour came to the house to inform us that they have just checked their mailbox and found the flier. Ugi came to their house very early that morning and they were so sorry they put her out not knowing that she was ours. And this neighbour was just 2 houses down the road. They were very relieved to be told that Ugu has been found safe and sound.
Pengajaran dari kisah Ugi:
1. Always, always do a headcount of your furkids. Jangan jadi macam weols, kalau tak jumpa hari tu memang akan menyesal seumur hidup.
2. Always make and distribute fliers if they go missing. Then neighbours etc, will know that should your furkid appear at their homes, he's not just making a social call. He's lost and someone out there is looking for him.
3. Pakaikan collar paling kurang pun. Ugi hasn't got one because she has just refused, in the past. So bila terlepas tu orang ingat dia macam stray cat je..dah la body pun selim je as opposed to the fatty.
4. Ugi has no sense of direction like her late mum. She managed to zig zag from one neighbour's house to another and missing ours. Duh!
Anyway, so happy that she's back. Berkat doa orang2 yang mendoakannya..termasuklah atuk and opah yg sungguh concerned, tepon cucu and maid hari2 tanya dah jumpa ke belum.
