admittedly, we’re not cat lovers in the family; we don’t actually love them as they should but we don’t hate them either. its coexistence afterall. its just respect to another life-breathing entity. i will not call it affinity; more like felinity. i thought at first that this word is non-existent in the dictionary; but i was wrong. its there! and i am using the word in a way to replace affinity, hehehe. the correct meaning is here.
this is then a tribute to the felines that freely roam our backyard in the province. we actually don’t own one, but one day one came and then another and then we noticed there’s a clowder of them already. we just can’t drive them away and so mom would give them food and they all stayed.
so here goes, one “catty” scene:
Would you dare disturb a cat who is probably in a magical feline world divinely resting like this one? and look at the position. it deceived me at first. I thought it was dead and so i went to take a look. then i saw it was breathing. that made me go back to our house and get my camera.
oooopsss, sorry! the shutter sound woke the cat and she sleepily flipped to see who is the culprit.
she looked at me accusingly. hmmm… am guilty.
and so she bolted and with grace and felinity left me to continue her interrupted sleep.
with persistence, i followed with my camera. she felt it and she looked back seeming to say, “Hey, don’t follow!”
Okidoks. So much of this already. Let’s give her rest. She must need it.

I never thought there is such word as felinity. Is there caninity? Hehe.
We also used to have cats for so many years, but my dad hated cats especially when they’re rubbing his feet.
So, we shifted to dogs. Though I miss our cats, Omew was the only named cat we had. But, at our cousins’ house, all of their cats have names, like Chiquitita, Star… hehe, I forgot most of them.

Michael Jackson? I only knew that he started so young after watching the Tribute of TV5 to him. I never heard of Jackson 5. But, I think I heard some of their songs. He’s gone too soon.
I’ll check back soon. Two weeks from now, we’re having biennial (and I heard that it was proposed to be celebrated yearly, so it won’t be biennial anymore). But, there are disadvantages of it, right?
