Of puking hamsters and writhing kittens

So i was playing with my niece's hamster the other day. It had a funny weird long name which was too difficult to pronounce (or even remember), but finally she changed the name to Pepsqueak and then to Pipsqueak and now its Pip for short. Yes in like Enid Blyton's Adventures of Pip. The pixie. Anyway..

So everytime i go to her place i'd just take the poor thing out and give it some entertainment. So i did the same thing the other day and after about 20 minutes, it suddenly started puking all over me. And i got worried lah kan, cos i thought tht maybe it was sick or maybe i had squeezed its stomach too hard or something.

Then my cousin tells me that it sometimes stores food in its mouth (god knows what for since they provide it with hamster food and carrots - diced, mind you - and apples etc).. Then a couple of minutes later, same thing happens. And this time, its a bloody barrage, like it was a mini machine gun or something spewing all the seeds out. Would have been funny if it wasnt a bit worrying.

And the other day, i was going back from work, and i suddenly saw this tiny black wriggling thing on the road near the traffic lights. and when i came near it was a black kitten. i think it just got knocked and it couldnt move but it was just writhing and jerking and twitching. and the cars on the other side of the road couldnt see it cos it was jammed and the traffic light just turned green so each car'styres were going over it like in slow motion. that was the worst part, i just stopped and couldnt drive. then a black merc went over it (not its head) and all of a sudden it went limp. that was one of the worst scenes i'd ever witnessed. then as i drive i look left and there's another bloody kitten writhing on the floor, this one'd grey, same thing.. and i cant stop cos there's a bloody bus behind me. i mean WTF IS WRONG with the mother cat? why give birth on the side of the road in the first place.. dumbass..

then was exchanging stories with my friend over beer on friday and he said tht he once saw a family of monkeys in templer park (apparently that park is famous for animals crossing - dont ask me, i didnt even know templer park was in KL!) and the "father" monkey had got his family safely across the road, but he got hit while he was crossing, and he couldnt walk so he was holding his neck with one hand and dragging himself across the road with the other while all his family screeched from the other side of the road. he finally got across but god knows what happened to him.

and there was another time when i tortoise was crossing and he stopped his car and carried it to the other side.

and there was once when he was with a friend and the friend purposely knocked into a dog and he told his friend to get him down right then and there and never spoke to him again. i think that should be the way, i mean who needs an asshole like this as a friend anyway?

and another time when i saw a dog and its puppy playing by the road, and suddenly a car came and knocked it and kinda just killed the puppy on the spot cos it just stopped moving and blood was pouring out of its open mouth. but it wasnt the driver's fault, the puppy kinda ran onto the road at the last minute.

sigh.. gory stuff on my blog today..

may these souls rest in peace..
