Running Cats
Had very unusual but not so unusual morning today. It was adventurous. We was out of town for 5-6 days in last week and had given my Persian cat to someone to look after since then he wanted to go outside always. Previously he also did this but only bcs of little curiosity and din moved apart from few steps. But after being home his level increase weirdly. And today at around 5 o'clock my father went outside and he tried to escape but my father immediately put him inside and left. After one hour he came home and called him but he din came . He then woke me up and asked. I started searching him and went to see in lawn, no sign. I searched all home no sign, in panic I went outside and saw he is poking his head from pile of bricks. We took it home. My father then started telling me his unusual behaviour and after listening to him I came back in lobby to see him and guess what my father in excitement din close the door behind us and he ran away again. I immediately saw every possible place in lawn but no sign. Then A known rickshaw driver asked me what happen and helped searching and found him in neighbour's lawn. There were lots of dogs outside I was scared to death. But he got home safely. After some time I stared searching about his behaviour in Google as to why and got many answers. Then I took him on roof as he really likes it. And i thought he will get his routine back. After sometime a stay cat came on roof and he started running after him. As I was thr I stopped him from running and jumping. Then I myself looking around for that cat but saw another stray cat and started meowing him to get his attention, as i usually do it whenever I see any stray cat. ( Two stary cats already come to my home almost daily to eat cat food, sometimes give to streets dogs too). Ok as I was meowing that stray cat sitting on roof behind my home. my ears heard thump and eyes saw a pure white Persian cat jumping. It was far away from my home , from fifth or fourth home on attached vertical street to horizontal street bheind my home. It jumped near to tank then to next home. A lady came on roof and looked here and thr I thought it's her cats and made hand gesture but she din saw as I was far , she went and came back after some time I again shouted and made gesture she went again inside and came out with bucket and started putting clothes on clothesline, i got that its not her cat. Meanwhile I saw cat jumping to third home roof and coming out at balcony of it. Then a lady from front house of it shouted something idk what and two ladies came outside to balcony I got relief that finally somebody got the cat. But to my surprise she made hand gesture like cat went , hame kya and went inside. I got super angry. I was panicking from such far view what if owner was unable to find, how much helpless they would be not knowing where the loving pet is and now cat jumps to first house. And after that is street. I thought ab to cat street me hi a jayegi and dogs will torn him , I was afraid. I am empathetic person. As I also have cat and also had other pets. I know the pain.
I immediately came outside and headed towards that area. as i reached I saw a man near street looking upwards in search of cat. And at same time we both saw that white Persian cat on edge of roof. I asked if it's his cat he said yes and I told what I saw from my terrace and I was panicked so came to atleast tell the home owners that a pet cat is on thr terrace. Or in worst case help the cat to reach his owners. I don't know what he understood but looked at me like I was alien. Ok then , the side house has stairs from outside adjacent to street and he started climbing to grab the cat meanwhile I asked what is the name of the cat he said goldstar. I said goldstar jao jao. But as soon as he put his hand to grab goldstar,goldstar jumped again inside of roof. And that tall long guy who just needed a small jump came back downstairs. But I was like ok now he is here he will get his goldstar someway.and I said ap dekh loge na hum jate h, mujhe bus ghabrahat tha ki kisi ki persian cat bhag rahe h. As mere pas bhi h and same mera cat bhi bhag gaya tha aj morning me. But again he gave look to me as I am some alien and said small hmm. No smile no gratitude. I left confused. But no regrets I did my part. Warna sochte reh jate. It's ok that boy din show any gratitude or must have not understood my nature. But my intentions were right. Stay Safe Goldstar!!
P.S : 1. i regularly read about Animals behaviour. But i think now my cats is adult may be (11 months ), so he is changing behaviour and also in that week stay at another person's home whom have a female cat also but it wasn't Persian. But got to know they got Along well. So I need suggestion too what to do to stop him from running outside and make him stay home. Cheerfully like before. 2. Anybody knows from where to adopt a kitten or cat who might be a friend to my cat. Free or reasonable rate. I got mine from a friend but they don't have it right now. 3. Sorry for long post.
