I like cats. I like them more than any other animal. I like them no matter what kind of cat are they, or how they looked. I just love them because they are cats.

But under some circumstances, I can not afford to keep a cat in my house. I live in a boarding house, and the landlord forbids us to having a pet (and I think we better not).

Someday, coincidentally I have to stay at my office until around 9pm, because there are some works to carried out.

While I was busy with my PC, suddenly I heard a soft voice. It's sound more like a breath than a voice tough. And I really startled of it. Instantly I stood up and looking for the source of the voice.

Then I found a looked-tired-and-hunger kitten on the floor near my desk. I guess it enter my office trough the front door that I intentionally left open.

I sighed (relieved) and feel so pity of the kitten, and then I remember that later in the afternoon, my office held a Syukuran (expression of gratitude to God)party, and we have some leftover food in the back.

So, i fed it with some piece of chicken, and she (later I found that it is female kitten) ate it hungrily. After she finished eating, I intent to drop it out the office, but she looked so tired and cold. So I let her stay and napped near my feet.

Next Days, she came again and to my office.

My friends said that she came again because I fed her the day before. So i have to take responsibility to it. Well, I think it doesn't sounds bad. Since I really like cats, then I decide to keep it on my office backyard.

I built a cat-house from a cardboard, and put some scraps of fabrics in it. And I usually bought some meatball for her in the afternoon. I usually play with her in the noon-break. She's just so cute, that could not hold back to put her in my arms, ^_^. Sometime I bought her milk too (since she is still small, she only drink some spoon of milk, and I drink the rest :P). And about her silent voice, she recover it after a few days.Maybe it because she was so tired and hungry that make her lost her voice. And it just make me more love her.

Meanwhile, my boss is a busy man. He always traveling and rarely come to our office. Well, sometimes, he came every one or two months.

Someday, he came and found that there is a kitten in the back yard. He doesn't like it. And he ask me to keep her out of the office, or give it to someone else that could pet it.

I somehow felt sad. I know that he was right. It's an office, and we should not keep any pet in it. So I decide to ask my friends if any of them want the kitten. But nobody wants her.

So helplessly, I decide to throw her in the street, hoping that there will be someone to pick her up and take her as their pet.

When I drop her, and i walk away to leave her, she keep running following me, and it just make me more sad. So I run and leave her alone.

From a far, I look at her, confuse and looking to her surrounding looking for me.. >.<. But a few minutes later, a car stopped near her, and a young and good-looking man came out, and pick her up, and bring her into the car.. Shortly the car drive away.. and I just following it with my eyes.. hoping that that man will take care of her, and grow her into a healthy and cute cat..

It's sad to sent her away, but I know I could done nothing for her. Instead, maybe she will find a better life with new master.. So, it's sad, but it's just what's the best for us..

** my English have never been good, but I know there are many mistakes in past and present tenses grammar. So please be kind and correct them :).
