Selfish Me
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..

i think we could better friends of the same interest
........... cats forever.......
so, do you pet any cats right now?
I like them no matter what kind of cat they are or how they looked.
I live in a boarding house, and the landlord forbids pets (and I think we better not have one).
Some days coincidentally I have to stay at my office until around 9pm because there is some left over work to completed. [ "coincidentally" should be moved closer to the part about the kitten]
While I was busy with my PC, I suddenly heard a soft voice. [While working on my PC, I suddenly heard a soft voice.]
It sounded more like a breath than a voice tough.
And I was really startled by it.
Then I found a tired-and-hungry-looking kitten on the floor near my desk. [tired-and-hungry-looking can be good for informal writing, but "Then I found a kitten that looked tired and hungry.." is better for formal things.] :)
I guess it entered my office trough the front door that I intentionally left open.
I sighed (relieved) and felt so pity sorry for the kitten. Then I remembered that earlier 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 pieces of chicken, and she (later I found that it was a female kitten) ate it hungrily.
After she finished eating, I intended to put her out of the office, but she looked so tired and cold.
So I let her stay and napped near my feet.
The next day, she came to my office again.
Therefore i have to take responsibility for it.
Well, I thought that didn't sound bad.
Since I really like cats, then I decided to keep it in the yard behind my office.
I built a cat house from a cardboard and put some scraps of fabric in it.
And I usually brought some meatballs for her in the afternoon.
I usually played with her during the noontime break. [or lunch break]
She's just so cute, that I couldn't keep from holding her in my arms, ^_^.
Sometimes I bought her milk too (since she was still small, she only drank one spoonful of milk and I drank the rest :P).
And about her silent she recovered her voice after a few days.
Maybe she lost her voice because she was so tired and hungry.
That just make me love her more.
He is always traveling and rarely comes to our office.
Well, sometimes he comes every one or two months.
One day, he came and found out that there was a kitten in the back yard.
He didn't like it.
He asked me to keep her out of the office or to give it to someone else that could keep it.
It's an office, and we should not keep any pets in it.
So I decided to ask my friends if any of them wanted the kitten.
But nobody wanted her.
So, helplessly, I decide to put her in the street, hoping that there will be someone will pick her up and take her as their pet.
When I drop her and walk away to leave her, she kept running after me which just made me more sad.
So I ran and left her alone.
From afar I watched her, confused and looking around for me..
But a few minutes later, a car stopped near her. A young, handsome man came out, picked her up, and brought her into the car..
Shortly after, the car drove away..
And I just followed 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 send her away, but I know I couldn't have done anything for her.
Instead, maybe she will find a better life with new a master..
It's sad, but it's just what's best for us..
**My English has never been good, and I know there are many mistakes in the past and present tenses.[Not true! Your English is good] :)
:) Cats are my favorite animal too!
I like them no matter what kind of cat are they, or how they looked.
But, because of my circumstances, I can not afford to keep a cat in my house. * I rephrased it to make it easier to understand.
One day, coincidentally, I had to stay at my office until around 9pm, because I had some unfinished business. * One day=ある日. 2. Since you are talking about something that happened to you already, I changed the word have--->had (あの日はもう終わりましたからね。)
It's sounded more like a breath than a voice though. *past tense*
And I was really startled because of it.
Then I found a tired and hungry looking kitten on the floor near my desk.
I guess it entered my office through the front door that I intentionally left open.
I gave a sigh of relief. I felt so sorry for the kitten, but then I remembered that earlier that afternoon, my office had held a Syukuran (expression of gratitude to God)party, and we had some leftover food in the back. *1. "to give a sigh of relief"= ほっとする 2. For a sentence like this, it is easier to understand if you separate it into two sentences.
So, i fed it with some pieces of chicken, and she (later I found that it is female kitten) ate it hungrily.
After she finished eating, I had intented to drop it outside of the office, but she looked so tired and cold.
So I let her stay and she napped near my feet.
Your journal is very interesting!
しゅんさんの日記はとても面白い!
I like cats too, and I even have a pet cat named Oni~ ^o^
猫が大好きで、私はオニという飼い猫がもっています。
I think you did the right thing, and I am sure the cat's new masters take good care of it.
よろしくお願いいたします!
