The Dogs, the Cats and the Rats

The dogs are classified as human best friends, the cats are best to eliminate rats and rats are nuisance and there are chances to take them away, they shall be eliminated immediately without second consideration.  Dos are chasing cats; cats are eating rats as their meals.  The wonderful situations, dogs chased cats but cats are everywhere.  Cats chased rats for their meals but they are also everywhere.  There are human who love dogs, there are animals lovers wanted them to be protected but stray dogs are everywhere.

We had three dogs and two cats.  My father was having a grocery shop.  We needed cats to check the rats.  We needed dogs to guard our shop from thefts for breaking in at night.

The rats were truly nuisance, they ate and gone, no problems, but they ate and urinated until our rice get smelly and bad condition for selling. They paid us a visit at night, ok no problem but bite a hole here and there until rice, oats, maize and corn were scattered everywhere. 

There were two cats; it was the best of the two cats we had ever owned.  We adopted the cats as they were strayed cat and went to our house.  We fed them and they stay put with us. One of the cat’s tails was a sort of deformed. The tail was short and having a knot at the tip of the tail.  It was the deformed tail cat made me unable to forget.  It happened a numerous occasions, she never failed.  One of the incidence, I had witness it clearly with my own two eyes.   A mouse was hiding behind the wooden beam of our wooden built shop house.  Our tail deformed cat was sleeping down on the floor at one of the corner.  Out of sudden, out of unknown reason, out of any peculiar movement, she opened her eyes, four legs hold tied on the floor, showing a squatting and ready to jump position.  Her deformed tail slowing swinging by way of circling, no sound from her, no action taken, she was just only swung her tail slowly with the ready to jump posture.

The mouse hiding behind and tried to have a peep, he did have a peep and fell to his dead. He fell just in front of our cat and became her super. This is true a story, no fictions is added.

Our dogs, three of them and they were strayed dogs, likewise we fed them, they became members of our gang, members of our brothers and sisters.  The big brother of three of them, we called him as Yellow.  He was a local and foreign mixed, big size, about two feet tall and three feet long including his tail! The second of them, local female, smaller size, we named her Genie, the third one, very small size, he was a little bigger than house cat, Black in color with long fur, we gave him a name of his color, Blacky.

Yellow was truly the big brother among our three dogs, two cats, chicks and rabbits.  Should there be any animals, trying to bully his little brothers and sisters, including the chicks and the rabbits.  Especially when new born little rabbits, he would guard the rabbits huts day and nights.  He fought with them along with little help from Genie and Blacky.  Quite often he fought until he got bruises all over his body. Believe me, it is a true story, my own experience during childhood times.

So who dared to say, it is customary dogs chased cats as they are generation enemy.  They are exceptions.  Who dared to say dogs and cats like to eat rabbits, especially the new born rabbits, it is their customary food from generation to generation.  At least, it was not our case.

When I was feeling sad or bored or sick, I was use to sit on the old lazy chair.  It was having plastic/nylon rods tied all over the iron frame to form a lazy chair, having arms rest and the back could slide backwards. It had legs rest too, an extension to pull out underneath the chair for resting the legs.  Yellow would definitely sit beside me, resting his head on my legs. He would patiently and quietly accompany me for as long as I was sitting on the chair and having bad mood and feeling sorry for myself. There were occasions, Genie or Blacky wanted him to play along with him.  He would definitely refuse but stayed put with me.  It was for a few occasions I was not noticed his behaviors until I was told by my late mother.  When Yellow died, it was my first tears shedding down when I was teenager.

Who said animals do not have feelings. Who dare to say animal do not have a soul, so long as I am concerned. I dare not to utter a word.  As per my experience, the faithfulness, the dare to accept responsibility of protection for their friends, their relatives, their love ones and their fellowship, I am long ago having a firm belief; it is only animals could have such a characters and attitudes.
