Cat

You know I had this cat once, her name was Comot. I guess you could translate comot as 'messy face' or 'grubby'. It was half-persian, given to me by my ex-housemate, and that cat was really a stupid cat but very manja. I don't know how to translate 'manja', it's like spoiled brat and babyish rolled into one word. She wouldn't sleep anywhere except above my head on my pillow. That stupid cat. Poor cat. It got pregnant and I told her, "You ain't havin your babies here!" and she left the apartment as if she understood and gave birth to her kittens at someone else's house. Poor cat. I drove by my old apartment building today and I suddenly remembered her. Her fur was this yucky brownish color with specks of yellow, black and orange. That's why we called her Comot.

My sayang, he's a cat person. He's got like 3 cats. And like he knows catspeak but won't admit it. I spoke to his cats once, they understand humanspeak. There's this one really naughty cat that he's got, her name is Didik. She's got this unhealthy white fur. She gets on my nerves. I don't know why. She just likes testing the limits of her territory. Cos you know sometimes cats can really be obnoxious. They can really be "catty". If they can speak English, they'd say all these nasty and sarcastic things, some of them would. And just the way she meows I know what she's saying to me. You know what I mean?

I had a cat like that once. She'd just hiss at you when you came near her. Like the whole house was her territory and not yours. We called her Jungley Cat. I wish I could have a cat now but my mom is allergic to them, and my asthma's gotten a lot worse so I can't stand the cat hair flying around. Having cats is good protection for the house, cos animals can see things humans can't. And they can let you know when an intruder is around. Wish I had a cat. But I can't stand homes with cat smell. I can't stand that cat smell. Cos cats mark their territory and leave that distinct scent behind. My sayang doesn't know it cos he's too used to it but his house has that cat smell sometimes. I'm sure cats say to each other, "your house has that icky human smell, wish they'd vacuum it more."

This is so unrelated, but my boss has this soap and water smell. Sort of like unscented soap smell. He needs to use aftershave, seriously. Maybe it's a Danish smell. My nose is very sensitive.
