In Lovin' Memory of Garfield


Garfield was long fur ginger stray cat who loved to loiter around grass patches and bushes. Even during heavy downpour, his love for the greenery did not diminish. He would rather hide in the bushes than to sleep in the sheltered HDB walkway. If he was a pokemon, he would definitely be a pure grass type.

He was a very affectionate cat. When one meow at him, there's a 80% chance that he would reply. The conversation could go on for a very long while. Then he would move towards the person, brushed his body against him and sat down by his side. If the human stayed for long enough, he would even lay his head on the human's feet and fell asleep.

Once the bond is built, he would even follow a person to wherever he goes. The cat is also a loyal chap that knows how to protect. If there are cockroaches near his human being, he would let out his claw attack and chase off those pesky little bugs. In return for his protection, the human just need to rub his tummy and he would be super duper contented and 'shiok'! In many ways, this cat is just like a dog.

Due to his overwhelming cuteness, someone has decided to bring him home a few years ago. However, he escaped and took 2 painstaking weeks to return to where he desire. By the time he was back, he had lost much of his weight and was dehydrated.

This time, he had found his permanent home - KittyLand @ Heaven. The cause of death was fatal injuries due to car accident. This is the 3rd hit-and-run fatal car accidents in this year. Those deaths occurred in nearby HDB car parks.  Why can't the drivers offer some assistance to the kitty or call up some relevant authority for help. Wouldn't their conscience be pricked? I only hoped that Garfield had passed away without much struggle.

Dearest Garfield,
Thanks for all the time you have spent by our side. You will be dearly missed. Rest in peace.
