今次我,BB,要為我家的花貓 Lucky報名。他是我家小孩子中唯一的男孩。可能因為他是男的,所以不喜歡美容,所以亦沒有那些沙龍照。為了報名,先給大家一張認證照。
This time, myself is going to enroll our cat, Lucky to the competition. He is the only boy in my family. He doesn't like doing facial so no super nice photo for him. In order to be qualify, I post his ID photo here.
我們一家其實是不喜歡貓的。我們可以說是「狗狗人」,但為什麼家中會有貓呢?其實全因為我!對,就是我!
All of us like dogs, so call us "Dog people". Then, why we keep a cat? That's because of me!
話說大幾7年多前的一個農曆新年前,記得應該是年廿九晚上。我香爸爸帶蓉蓉落街,準備之後洗澡,以乾淨之身迎接新年。本來一切如常,直到我們差不多回到我們居住的那一條街道的十字路口。就在交通燈位前不遠處有一棵大樹。平時經過時都沒有多留意它,今天不知怎樣覺得和之前的不一樣。特意走過那邊一看,見到有個紙盒,入面有一條毛巾,上面有一個裝着清水的膠盒。還有一團大毛茸茸的東西在動。我為了看清楚一點,就低下頭來留心的看。連爸爸不停叫我回家我亦沒有理會。
It was more than 7 years ago, 2 nights before Chinese New Years. Father and I walked Yung Yung around where we lived and prepare to clean her before Chinese News Years. Everything went smooth as usual until we came close to the big tree near a cross road. I didn't pay much attention to it before but that night, I feel something weird. So I walked close to it and looked around. I found a paper box with a piece of clothes and a little bit water inside a plastic box. There was a fluffy little piece of thing there. I stared at it but could not figure out what it was. I was so concentrated, I couldn't hear him when my father called me.
後來,爸爸亦按捺不住,走了過來。他低頭一看,亦看到那一團毛了。爸爸說:「是一只小貓!很慘呀。天氣這樣冷。不理他的話會凍死的。」接着爸爸便拿起紙盒,把那只小貓帶了回家。
My father came to me after called me a few time. He soon found the box. After he looked carefully at it, he said :"It's a kitty. Poor soul, it is cold here. Should I just leave it here, it will die because of freezing." So he picked up the box and brought the kitty home.
就這樣,一只可能只有幾天大的小貓就把我們家弄得忙上加忙。當晚爸爸就四出張羅,要找到小貓喝的奶粉,奶樽。因為沒有養貓的經驗又要四處找朋友問該怎麼辦。第二日一早又要找獸醫替小貓驗身和殺蝨。它身上長滿了蝨,一抱上手便弄得爸爸滿手痕癢。因為是農曆新年前夕的關係,家裏所有人原來已經很忙碌了。再加上要照顧這初生小貓,更上百上加斤。
That made my family even busier. My father had to search every shops to find milk powder and bottle for kitty that night. The next day, my parents had to take the kitty to Vet to have body check and cleaned up the fleas. My father's hands and arms got flea bites for just holding the kitty for short time. It was Chinese New Year's eve, so this little kitty surely not helping at that time.
就是這樣,這只貓就一了我們家中,因為覺得他很好運氣的被我發現了才不至於要凍死街頭,所以就為他改名做 : Lucky。 有些人說怎麼像個狗名多一點?我們亦有同感,不過因為我爸媽還是喜歡狗狗,所以也不介意把他的名字改得似狗狗。
We named him "Lucky" because he was really lucky to be discovered by me so that he didn't get killed by the low temperature. Some said that's a dog's name, but we didn't care at all, after all, we are "Dog People".
爸媽原本想把Lucky養的強壯一點之後就替他找一個新主人,讓學貓之人收養他,後來不知是因為爸爸太懶,或者是他們已經建立了感情,所以最後就不了了之。到了現在,Lucky 已經在我們過了七年多了。
Our plan was to rehome Lucky when he became a little bit stronger, but somehow, I didn't know if my father was too lazy or he was just too attached to Lucky, the rehome never happened. Now Lucky has been with us for more than 7 years.
Lucky 並沒有的其他貓一樣變成家中的主子,可憐的他因為遇到我們這一家只愛狗的人,沒有能變成高高在上的主人。但是我爸媽亦不見得好過,他們經常被Lucky 的爪弄的滿身傷痕的, 特別是要替Lucky剪趾甲的時候。身中的牆和傢俬亦不能幸免。
Lucky didn't become the master of our family because we love dogs much more than cat. However, my parents bodies were still full of scratches by Lucky, so were our furniture and walls.
因為Lucky怕水的,所以沒有游泳照啦。
There was NO swimming photos of Lucky as he is afraid of water.
