I am an animal lover by nature. I had my first dog when i was 4 or 5 years old. But when I moved here in Malaysia, it started off with hamsters, fishes, tortoises and more hamsters, then finally a beautiful myna bird. When my bird passed away (lived for 6 years with us & i cried my eyes out), a pregnant stray cat came along our house about half a year later and decided that our house should be blessed with 5 little kitty cats (The runt died later on). Sadly the mommy cat passed away 5 months later. She left one day and never came back. Last I heard was that someone saw her lying down on a drain with her recognizable collar :( . Anyways, now I own a dog (currently a mama dog, she has 3 little pups!) and 3 domestic medium hair cats. I also consider myself as an animal activist and I think one's soul is never complete without having the experience of truly loving a pet companion.
