The story of Boy-Boy
Today, an amazing thing happened to us. Passing showers occurred at my area this afternoon. As I had forgotten to bring my umbrella, I hurried back home after my lunch. Unexpectedly, I saw a young woman attending to "something" underneath the void deck adjacent to my block. Out of curiosity, I took a quick glance and saw a drenched kitten. In fact, that kind woman was cleaning and drying that poor kitten. He was in fact a very cute and cuddly little baby. I excused myself immediately and rushed back home to bring him some food. We only bought him home in the evening and managed to give him a "proper" meal as we felt that we should not "jump the gun" by bringing him home so early as his mummy might be still looking for him. Named him "boy-boy" and played with him for a while...
Strange thoughts were running through our minds as we kept thinking that her mum might have "abandoned" him. To avoid lessen the scent on boy-boy's body; we tried not to hold him long... We waited until human traffic was low and we set out to search for his mum. In the process, we met a very helpful uncle who gave us some advice on locating boy-boy's mummy. Also, another kind uncle had saw boy-boy in the afternoon came along searching for him in the evening... Alas, the first few cats that we had approached started to run after hearing boy-boy's frantic meows. Things were not looking good...
As we were about to return home, a white cat came out of nowhere and started to look around at our area. We figured that she might be the one. Immediately after we release boy-boy, she started to sniff boy-boy a bit. And for sure, we knew we had found boy-boy's mummy as she started to pick him up with her mouth and carried him into some concealed bushes. And that's it, no goodbyes or farewells... just a moment of relieve and satisfaction.
A few seconds later, the commotion had passed and all is quiet again..
That is the last moment we saw boy-boy.
Below are some pics of boy-boy...
PS: Sure feel strange as we only "had" him for less a day, but boy-boy will remain in our hearts forever...
If you don't believe, take a look at the pics, and you will know why.
Cheers to boy-boy...!!! Don't wander off again, OK!

Well done. Look you have a good number of animal-friendly people around the neighbourhood.
Hopefully you can find the mummy and kitten sometime in the future to have them sterilized.
