Pagi

Back on May 2011 Pagi (2 months old) was brought into our place two weeks after his late brother Pusa came. The reason was because Pagi hiding when we tried to pick him up, so we needed to wait until he was out from his hiding place or better yet until they figured out where. He was apperantly hiding under the fridge and would go out only at night time to eat. That's when they catched him and put him in a box, so that we could picking him up the next day. Yes! Pagi is a very shy cat from the beginning, he would hide if there guests and came out only after they left.

As expected after arriving in the house, Pagi went straight under the bed the second we openend the transport box. He hid there for some hours. He would have heard from under the bed when Pusa was playing with me, it made him wanted to go out from his hiding spot and joining us in bed. At first, he sat at the frame of the bed looking for approval if he could join, I was happy to see him there, I could still able to memorized his face that day, he was very cute! Ofcoures, I snapped a picture to framed the moment .. from then we got to know Pagi better and he started to rules the house. You can easily tell when a cat is rulling the house, when they just wanted to sleep next to your head instead on your legs, he did that – Pagi's place to sleep had been on above my head or next to my shoulder – guess it's a better view from there as the king of the house, so that he could see other member of the cats where they sleep. He would also sometime got into the blanket and gave me a warm hug, he stayed there for a while until I fell asleep sometime, then he left and back above my head. Pagi was a loving cat indeed.
Another love showed by him was that he would gave his Papa a rub on the face, nose to nose often too until all his face is wet, papa claimed. This affectionate gesture happened at night time when my husband tried to read a book for example, then Pagi would slept on the book so that he would gave all the attention to him instead. And ofcoures there was an obvious message from Pagi of why he did that; he just simply wanted a little snack – hehehe.. Often enough we threw the snack up in the air, Pagi loved the game, he would then catched the snack with his mouth or sometime his paw and ate it right away. A very skilled cat he was.

The most enjoyable to me was when to see Pagi liked to accompany me during my prayer as if he also whispered some prayers, he would sat on the prayer mat and waiting patiently until I finished.

Every human being has an enemy in this world, and so had Pagi. Pagi hated his housemate Panther somehow, he started to detest Panther soon after Panther came back from his long lost journey outside; long story short, Panther was outside missing two times and coming back with a different smells I guess – pagi didn't like this. Second enemy was to Smokey and to Pfeffer, .. guess he just didn't like other cats than his buddy Prego. Different to Maui, Pagi would only liked to talk to her, everytime he sees her, “talking here is like that when a cat made sounds when there's birds around, that kind a talking I meant”. And we all remember how he hated the post man, every time the post came, he would be mad and hidding – the incredible things was he could heard the post man's car already even before it parked, I always knew that he knew Postman car from 5 meter or even more distance. Amazing ears!

Pagi was the type of cat who has only one best friend in his entire life, in this case the winner went to Prego. Somehow Pagi had become very attached to Prego, and so vice versa. They would loved to sit in the same spot together, though how small the place is. In bed, they would also sleep next to each other side, butt to butt, nose to nose, cleaning each other faces and grooming each other furs or hugging each other. They just inseparable. We were bit worried at first what if one died, what would happened to the other ones, but instead when Pagi left us, Prego has been a very brave boy, though he still always until now, leaving some space in their favourite spot, as if he still wished that Pagi would showed up and sit next to him.

Pagi had left us around 5pm CET or around Maghrib prayer for Mosleem, on Saturday, 8th January 2022 for tumor next to his heart, we tried to save him but time was not on our side anymore. He passed away hopefully “peacefully” and we knew how much he had fought to stay alive for months.

So many happiness that Pagi brought into our lives for the past ten years of his wonderful life, Thank you Pagi for all those moments, you would always be our “little tiger” and we miss you. See you again, I know that you are waiting for us in that beautiful garden across the rainbow bridge. Love Always.
