Baby Kitty (or Chumpy, as my brother named him) died this afternoon.

I wasn't home. I was out to get my much-needed massage. My brother was home though. Chumpy had been active lately, he liked to walk around and play. And we thought he wouldn't go outside the gate since he tended to go inside the house instead. It wasn't even 30 mins since I left home while Chumpy was walking around the frontyard when my brother texted me, telling that Chumpy died.

I was like, I dunno. I think It didn't dawn on me immediatly because it hadn't been long since I saw Chumpy alive and kicking.

My brother said he was bitten by my neighbor's big bad doggy. My neighbor tried to stop the dog when it suddenly ran towards chumpy, but it was too late. By the time the granny managed to hit the dog to let Chumpy go and brought him to my brother, Chumpy was already dead. My bro said there was a lot of blood.

By the time I got home, my brother had already buried him in an empty lot nearby.

Chumpy hadn't been that long with us, and I didn't get to see him that much due to work, but still, it hurt. I could only imagine how my brother might feel. He had been the one taking care of Chumpy all this time, and he was the one at home when it happened.

I kind of blame myself for letting Chumpy in the garden instead of putting him inside with my brother even though the front door was open. I think my brother also feels guilty deep down.

...anyway. Yeah, I actually planned to post more pics on Chumpy next week, but now, I still can't bring myself to go over the many pics of Chumpy.

Oh well, that's it for now. I have a workload to do. So much for a fun weekend.

I'm really sorry to hear that *hugs*

I've been in a similar situation, to tell you the truth.
As I was leaving home in the morning to pick up a friend of mine from the train station three years back, I've seen my cat outside and called him to come back home, but he didn't want to. So I ignored him and left.
An hour later, when I was going back, I noticed a dead animal on the street, and because I'm not right in the head and get fascinated by such things, I went to look at him just out of curiousity. Then the friend I picked up joked by saying "what if it's your cat?" I only laughed, but then I noticed his fur patterns, and realization hit me hard (he was missing his head, so I had trouble regonizing him at first...) So yeah, I was all "...oh, holy shit. o_o" and had a hard time believing the sight before me.

And yeah, the regret is there, because we feel that things would go different if only we could get our kitties to stay home. But none of us could forsee something like this happening, so I guess we shouldn't blame ourselves, even if it's hard.

This probably won't make you feel any better, but yeah... Try not to dwell on it too much. And be glad that your kitty didn't leave you on the day before your birthday (like mine did. xD)

*huggles you* ; - ;

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Uwaaah, I'm so sorry about your cat (even though it happened years ago, but still...)

...if I may know, what exactly happened that it lost its head? o.O

Anyway, thnaks so much for sharing and for your concern, Nayru~~ *snuggles*

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

I'm sowwwyyyyyyy ;____;

[hakasha.livejournal.com]

why are you apologizing? just... it's so sad... kitty... T_T

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Becaaauusseee... TT___TT
And yeah, sad :(( *hugs*

*hugs hugs hugs*

I'm so sorry to hear that, sis. I'm not a cat-lover, but I've grown to love cats because of my sisters' influence... I can't imagine what is it like for you--who is a natural cat lover--must be feeling.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll get better soon. Heart takes time to heal, afterall.

*snuuugs*

Thanks sista~ hawhaw... well I wonder why kittens keep dying on me.. I mean it's not the first time after all. I dare say this is the nth__>;;

And thanks again sis :')

[jayazz.livejournal.com]

Now I feel sorry for you, for your kitten and for your brother as well... it must have been horrible for a person who cared of this kitten the most T__T
it's good that you haven't seen how it happened, it could be too much of a shock :((
*hugs*

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Haha thanks :)
although I've seen kittens dying before my nose more times than I'd like to care about :(

*snugs*

[jayazz.livejournal.com]

that's terrible :( that's just... not fair!

and it seems that yesterday I killed my own fish in the aquarium =__=

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if kittens do die that easily or if my neighborhood is bad for kitties to live >___>;;

Oh, what did you do to your fish? :O

[jayazz.livejournal.com]

It seems, both reasons =__=

I accidentally turned the heat on, and haven't noticed it. I rarely check how's the fish, so it was on till my mother came home from the countryside a couple of days later. the temperature in the aquarium was already about 30 degrees C and I guess the fish can't live in such a hot water D: I didn't mean it, but still it was my fault T__T I killed poor little fishies who haven't done anything bad in their life :(

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

D:

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope the fishes died peacefully somehow :( *hugs*

[jayazz.livejournal.com]

thanks :( I also hope they didn't suffer... *hugs back*

[dark-kana.livejournal.com]

*hugs*
Oh dear.. I'm so sorry to hear... I know how you and your brother must be feeling at the moment... *hugs again*

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

*snuggles* thanks so much Kana-chan >__<

[dark-kana.livejournal.com]

Are you and your brother okay?

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Yes, we're fine. Thank you :)

[paranoid-fridge.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Sorry to hear that.

it might just be me, but that dog... isn't its behaviour off if it randomly attacks a cat? Shouldn't the owner be keeping it on a tighter leash than... or am I just horribly misinterpreting?

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

*snugs* Thanks, Mona :')

As for the dog.. well it's certainly not the first time it killed my kitty :( I dunno, the owner is an old lady, and she said the dog is always like that. I mean, he attacks kittens not grown cats. Hmm. >___>;;

[isumi-ilde.livejournal.com]

Uh. I know I texted you, but still. ;A; WHY DOGGIE, WHY????

Seriously. I've got a soft spot for dogs after that one year living with them, but cats are still my favorite. And the mere thought of a small cat like Chumpy--she's barely as big a Affa's foot!!--being bitten by the dog... TT-TT

Not cool, doggie.... ;A;

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

BAAAAAD ODGGIEEEE DDDD:

Hawhaw.. i used to be scared of dogs when I was little. Now I neither hate nor like dogs, I basically can't hate mammals, but but... ;____;

[speadee.livejournal.com]

Sorry it took forever to get back to you. School and real life are just busy.

congratulations on your fanfics!

Sorry about Chumpy, and you had him for too short a time. He and your other cats are cute. The death wasn't your fault. Cats need to go outside at times, and since Chumpy tended to go inside the house after walking around, you wouldn't be expecting him to go outside. It's hard to lose a pet, especially when you've had it for only a few days. The same thing has happened with some of my past hamsters.

I did the wallpaper and author memes, too.

Sorry about your eyes, back, and workload. I have a similar situation at my new part-time job. I have to search for information on the internet and put them together. It hurts my eyes.

You can unlock a bathroom with a spoon? It sounds like Office Boy and Flirty Boy do not get along. I'm thinking it's more than just that "come hither" thing. Wouldn't Flirty Boy wonder why the door was unlocked when he locked it? From what happened with Office Boy, it sounds like Flirty Boy is terrible. Then again, I myself don't like flirts in the first place.

Thanks! I'm glad you thought the icons were cute, and that you liked the e-card. I tried to send you a Perfect Pair one. You are free to snag any of the icons.

Thanks for the graphics program information! I don't even have a pen tablet. To tell the truth, I don't know much about them, but they seem easier to use if it's similar to drawing by hand on paper. I have Adobe ImageReady 3.0. I'm not sure if it's able to make animated images since it's out-of-date. I'm still using Adobe Photoshop 6.0, which came with my previous computer. I just can't afford to buy the more updated programs.

Some things need to be demonstrated to be clear. Art is one of them.

Some people just like attention.

bye bye kitten... TT.TT

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

*snugs* ys bye~ :(

[elysis.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry to hear that...Chumpy was an adorable kitty and I can't believe that some bad doggy would do something that cruel to him...

Does that dog always do something like it? I just hope that dog will never do it ever again so there will be no other kitties (or puppies) would have to go through the same tragedy as Chumpy.

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Thanks Ely-chan >____<
and to say cruel, I dunno, do dogs know that it's a cruel thing to do :(

And the doggie killed my kitty once before too. He was slightly bigger than Chumpy but still a Kitty.

...now i want to cry. Baww.

XD;;

[anyajulia.livejournal.com]

aiy-chan!!! *hugs you tight*

why must our cats, die in a bad manner ne...

i am literally in tears right now... we had adopted a kitty too... long time ago.. he died in the same manner as well... i can't say anymore... i might end up bawling again...

condolence aiy-chan..... ['....']

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

thnaks so much Anya~ and aww, sorry that you had to cry too :(

[harmony283.livejournal.com]

*had to--take about a day or two for this to register* (seeing as I read it --right before we went to an amusement park. so I had a while to think about it)

but just...I don't know what to say. We've had something similar happen before in our neighborhood (we had lots of stray cats at one time or another...until people started complaining) and just...god x.x I'm an animal lover in general, and even though I've never had a cat before *can't--dad and sis are allergic*

Just...at least you gave Chumpy a nice place to live, and loved him while he was here.


_{and as silly as it may sound...this journal entry made me go and purposefully buy a white kitty penny-bank at a gift shop at the amusement park. It even had a little bell on it}

*hugs*

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Hahah.. It's hard when we're such a bleeding heart over animals when we have many stray cats/dogs around ne? I sometimes want to just not get attach because I had a lot, and I mean a lot of kittens dying on me for various (and tragic) reasons before, and I never really get used to the pain.

But then cats come and go in my life so it'll keep happening. And I do wonder why cats die so easily in my neighborhood. I mean, my neighbor have so fur run over more cats than I care to count. And all of them had, at some point, get attached to my family :(

Sorry for the rambling ^^; Thanks for your concern :) *snugs*

And for some reason it made me smile that you bought a white kitty oenny-bank after reading this :)

[harmony283.livejournal.com]

For us we've had...only 3 dogs so far...after our first dog passed away (Amber, she was 15) we waited about a year and a half before getting another dog. But then that dog passed away (her name was Clover) when she was only 4 due to a blood disease they couldn't even name...and it was so sudden too that, well, having the house empty/without a pet...wasn't the way to get over it. So we went that summer *right before I started school* and got a puppy from the humane society. I've been thankful enough never to have a personal pet die in such a horrible way but...I think it's good despite the pain that we can still go on loving animals as much as we do, since it does give them a place to stay and--love (as I said) for as long as they're here.

And it's fine, I'm used to *and guilty of* it too XD

_{and really? That makes me happy too. I'm going to try to upload pictures of it today *wanted to last night but --it took nearly 6 hours for that one journal entry...and I just got fed up ^^;}

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Aww that's so sad when our pet died young due to illness ;__;
So then the third dog is now alive and well, I suppose? :)

I have had, countless cats came and went. Sometimes they stay for a long time before disappearing, other times, they just came and died after a few weeks >__>;;

The longest cat I've had was with me for about five years, then he disappeared never to return. I suspected he went to die omewhere because when he was with us, we take him change houses three times and he could always find his way home, so yeah. My current official cat, I hope he could stay for a long time with us too :)

And yeah, I guess you right, at least I did what I could when they werwe with me ^^

Yes really, and yes I saw the pic :D
