It has been three long months since my beloved male cat, Ngiew, went missing on October 18, 2024, a month just shy of his second birthday. Ngiew is a gray Domestic Longhair cat with a bushy tail and stripes on his limbs. The longest he's ever been away before was about a week. So initially I didn't worry too much. He often spent time at the empty house across the street, hanging out with a female cat. It is always comforting to hear his cries from across the street when he is not at home.
But this time, there's no sign of him. I'm not sure if he's been taken in by someone, wandered off with other cats, or if his adventurous genes (his dad - and later his younger brother too - is also a neighbourhood wanderer) led him further than ever before.
Ngiew means the world to me. He is one cat that waits for me every morning (and also most evenings) waiting for me to give him snacks. I am sure his younger siblings misses him too. After all they bonded very closely together as you can see in this video:
A very caring older brother with outstanding parenting skills. (Note: Ngiew is on the left in this video.)
Sometimes I do wonder if he's got little ones of his own now, somewhere in the neighbourhood, to explain why he has not been home for three months. If he can show so much love to his younger siblings, I am sure he will shower even more love to children of his own.
In the meantime, I am still waiting. Waiting for the day when he comes home - perhaps even with his little ones in tow. We all miss you Ngiew.
