He will start soon his 18th years. He is the one I
always ask about then I speak with my parents. He is the one who comes to sleep
with me then I am at my parents. He is always very good to me then I am home.
It’s my cat PIKIS!
You may think he is just a cat, but he is the cat who
inspires us more than any person in the world and let me tell you why!
From the very first moment he came into our lives he was
already fighting, so he got the name PIKIS, which means “angry”. He wasn’t
angry, but he used to come and fight with my Dad and every fight was starting
from him getting angry and getting to the attack. Even though we were living in
two bad rooms flat, but he always run around for few times to show how much he
is capable of.
Soon, a year after, he was doing it with our dog and all he
wanted to prove – he is the owner of the flat and nobody else may try to own
it. Even my small bad has always been occupied by him, me and the dog just to
prove he is the owner of everything in this flat.
Twelve years after and our dog passed away. For our surprise
Pikis was sad for four months for another intruder who has just left his world.
Believe it or not, his small heart was divided into 5 parts and he loved
everybody in his apartments.
Year after year he became a cat we loved so so much that he
gave us much more than we could ever dreamed of. Of course he didn’t need to
fight anymore for any corner in the flat, but he was always looking for the
attention, so he got it every day more and more, just ways of getting it became
annoying and have started to drive parents crazy, but I kept on saying: “Don’t
say any bad word because one day he may not be here for any reason.” Believe it
or not, but I felt with my heart something is going to happen and it did. For
almost 10 days he couldn’t walk because of the stroke…
You may know what consequences it can cause and we prayed the
God he would recover. We brought him hundreds of kilometers away to show him
for doctors. He was fed as he couldn’t keep his head up. He couldn’t do anything,
just to open his eyes. Those 10 days were heart braking and painful, but for
our surprise he started to walk! Can you imagine what does it cost for him, 17
years old cat? I have no idea either! One thing I know – he is a fighter I have
learned so much from him.
I learned:
- -
How
much love can do;
-
- How
much you can reach if you want to;
- -
How
much you must appreciate every moment with your beloved ones;
- -
How
painful it is just to think that one day he or she won’t be in this world;
- -
How
important it is to say how much you love;
- - How
it is important to admire everybody who is next to you!...
Keep the list coming, because one day it might be stopped and
you will regret how much haven’t been said. I call myself happy because Pikis
always heard me saying how much I love him and I know he appreciated it, this
is the main reason he still kicks the life forward.
YOURS,
Lina
