[Missing] Lil Piggy-chan

After toiling for a couple of weeks, I finally had a weekend to myself. Packed on Thursday night and head out to work on Friday. The missus took half day as I worked Australian business hours to join in the fun.

By 3pm-ish, we were well on our way to Port Dickson (PD). Many people have commented that there is nothing to do in PD. So why bother going there? I don't have an answer for you, but just ask any of the [aSa] members and they will have an idea of what I mean. One thing is for sure, it has a special place in our hearts. The secrets, the fiery BBQs, the laughter, the stories. It's our home away from home.

We spent the entire time lazing and fooling around. The highlight would be Friday night after dinner. We needed to stock up on some food for the stay. On our way to the supermart, we passed by a white kitten by the roadside and it looked famished. We made a point to shop for some cat food whilst getting ours as well. We had fun picking out the cat food and even got some yoghurt, just for their plastic caps...to be used as a plate for the cat food.

Paid for our stuff and headed out to the parking lot. Lo and behold, there was the white kitten and 3 other ginger coloured kitties. We opened the tin and I dished out some tuna goodness. Little white fella gave a big meow and pounced on the food instantly. The rest slowly gathered courage to get their fair share as well. We nicknamed the white fella Piggy-chan as he was so greedy. Kept following whichever dish I was putting the cat food in. Never lost focus much when eating. The best part, he started rubbing himself on my legs after he got full. Such a sweetie I tell ya. We ended up feeding 7 of them that night. 2 adults and 5 kittens. Note: Another white kitten appeared out of nowhere.

We fed them for the following 2 nights as well. Sadly, we only saw Piggy-chan on the first night. We looked high and low for it, but all in vain. I wonder what happened to poor lil Piggy-chan. We never got to say goodbye to him. It was Piggy-chan, who caught our attention and in the end got his family fed. We pray and hope he is alright and will be there to greet us our next trip down.

I'm such a sucker for animals :)
