The horror of 'Si Loceng'.

My cats' peace and tranquility has been stirred for the past 2 weeks, since the arrival of a lost soul in the form of a Tomcat. It has been gut wrenching, power struggling and nerve wrecking situation within the cats' dynasty at my place.

This illegal immigrant looks very much domesticated and comes with a collar and an annoying bell. I tried to check if there was a hidden address or a phone number at the collar, but there was none.

The problem is, the moment he sat paw in my house, he treated it like as if he has inherited the place from a long lost cousin. He instantly made himself so comfortably at home. When it's feeding time, he just nudged everybody away from their bowl and help himself to everyone's food. And he has such big appetite. When there was a roar of protest from my cats, he will put up a look which says: Eleh, nak share sikit ajer, what's the big deal, after all there are plenty more where it comes from......

We politely tried to get him to leave, but this very thickskinned uninvited guest has a plan of his own. He pitifully rolled at Papa's feet, and curled up with batting eyelids on my lap when I'm seated to read the newspaper. He must have had a good life back then with his previous owner but we do not have an idea where he comes from. We tried asking him though..

Since he has become a permanent fixture in our house, we might as well try to accept him. I called him 'Loceng' due to the annoying sound of his bell whenever he moves.
Imran calls him 'LoLo', while Tasya calls him 'Cheng'.
It didn't matter to him, he'll just answer you with whatever sound you make...
Such a friendly fella.

However, the cats are damn angry with him!
Bella could accept him initially, but not after LoLo starts to share his Power Rangers meal bowl. I mean, that bowl is his and has always been his! Cats tend to be so attached to his meal bowl, and no contaminating it with other cat's saliva!
Lately, Bella does not even want to enter the kitchen for his meals when he could hear the sound of the haunting bell ringing from there.

Priyanka completely hates LoLo. When he first set eyes on her, LoLo thought that he has the passport to getting a permanent residence here by attracting Priyanka. Alas, LoLo does not know that Priyanka is the snobbish half Persian, spayed daughter of IRMA. Yes, the very IRMA who is now lost and the mention of her name can still make mama cry.

As for Putih, the dear dear Putih, he has not come home for a few days now...
If he is to write an entry for his blog today, it would be something like this:-

.....'Aku memang tengah tension giler tahap gaban ( he gets that from reading other youngster's blog) sekarang ni! Ada sekor mamat tu, macam terrer ajer datang buat rumah sendiri kat tempat aku. Mama kata biarlah, Puts, kita mesti kasihan kat kucing yang dalam kesusahan. Tapi aku tengok si mamat tu tak make an effort to find his way home at all! Dapat nama baru lagi, LoLo ker aper ker bendanya, ntah2 kat rumah dia nama dia hanyalah si Tompok!

Sebenarnya aku ni tidaklah begitu taksub dan tamak dengan apa yang aku ada, tapi si Polan yang berloceng tu, tanpa beri salam, tanpa perkenalkan diri, terus nak merampas kuasa, nak buddy2 dengan papa and mama!

That's it, I have enough of it all! I'm staying over at Melanie's place for a while. And the great news is, I'm not being addressed as the pathetic 'Putih' here, but 'Peter Benedict', maklumlah duduk dengan Minah orang putih!

Tapi yang aku risaukan disini, Melanie feeds me with food from her kitchen yang aku was2 tahap halal nya. Mama selalu pesan: 'Puts, you are a muslim', that's why I can only be fed with fish and none of those imported canned food which contained chicken or meat, benatang tu ditakuti tak disembelih sebelum ditinkan. Tapi nak wat camne, aku belasah ajer lah, nanti kendian2 bila dah balik semula rumah mama, aku taubat lah!
mental note: nanti nak suruh Imran samakkan aku dengan air lumpur!

Tapi aku kesian sekali kat mama. Hari2 tunggu aku balik, ikan rebus aku sentiasa ada tersimpan kalau2 aku tiba, pada bila2 masa.....

Nanti lah mama, I'll try to find peace with myself. Kalau siLoLo tu dah kembali kepangkal jalan, I will return....'

mmuuuuaahhhh.......or is it mmeeeooww......

And so that's how it is now, I'm facing a crisis at the homefront.

ChiHuaHua and Tuxedo are only available on need to be basis. They prefer to hang out at the garden instead, like the less preferred children.
Priyanka did not come home since yesterday, she did not make her feelings known in the blog either.

I've told Imran to ask around if any of his friends want to adopt LoLo.
Meanwhile, I hope the owner will soon find and claim Loceng back.
