lol albino

lol read doreen's blog den decided to search for albino people. ended up searching for albino cats. then i remembered that a white cat came to give birth outside my house b4 lol. idk if it was albino, but i remember it being white. it was back during my primary school days so i dun really remember it well.

it was b4 cats were made infertile by the government. one day, my mum or dad did not close the "gas door" (the place where you turn the gas valve) properly. then the next morning, my mum came back from the market to find a white baby kitten inside. my mum asked us to come look at it lol. i tink we asked our neighbours if it belonged to them lol, coz we had malay neighbours at that time. well, it wasnt theirs. the kitten's eyes werent open yet lol. it was like.. a little curled up and could fit in ur palm nicely.

then we were like.. standing there looking at it when.. mummy cat came from behind! also white haha. i saw it climb up the staircase coz i was standing at the gate, where the baby was at the right and the staircase was at the left. it walked towards us (at that time was mum, neighbour and me left) a little hesitantly and mewed, then we decided to "leave" and let them have peace.

i was amazed. i was absolutely sure that the cat did not take the lift + climb the stairs up to my house. it could only have climbed up from the 1st floor to the 7th floor. wow, it must have been some extreme luck that the mother cat decided to climb all the way up and give birth. why couldnt it have been some other apartment, some other block or something lol. and there was a kind of certainty from the mummy cat like "my baby is here and i know it!"

somehow mummy cat got baby cat out and started nursing it in front of our gate. lol, we pushed a half-eaten pomfret and a dish of milk over but the mummy only took a little of it. ah, thats about all that i remember. i cant remember how long they were there, or if they hung around for a few days, but i think we did saw either mummy or baby some time later.

another thing is that we saw some other cats around the lift landing area just once, early in the morning, a short period after the baby cat incident. no more white cats though.

hmm, its bad luck to have a black cat run past you, but does it mean anything to have a white cat give birth to a white baby outside your house?


-couldnt help thinking that i typed something like this b4.. lol, have i?-
