My daughter brought her home late one evening and said "meet my friend - she will be staying with us as she has no one "
I almost fainted -"another female in the house "?
As if three were not enough !.
Well, she was cute and young and we all fell in love with her - me too and I am not ashamed to say it .
Initially I thought my daughter was joking and when I took her aside and asked her , she confirmed my worst fears - she was here to stay .
Where would she sleep ?
Who would keep her company all day when we were away?.
What about her meals ?
Would she eat what we ate ?
Would she enjoy living upstairs - being used to something quite different since birth?
Would she fit into the family
Where were her parents ?
Would they not miss her ?
Was it ok to keep her in the house - would the watchman not notice and complain ?
These and many more questions worried me .
However things fell into place pretty soon .
She was clean , quite friendly and tidy and never made a fuss where food was concerned .
Despite the heat, she slept without the AC - apparently our rooms were too cold !
Knowing what Dubai life was like I kept trying to remind her to drink water - she seemed to hate it and that was something which irritated her.
Relatives dropped in to meet her and were quite taken up- she was cute indeed !
Last week , for the first time we took her out in the car fro a drive - she enjoyed it .
Then we started noticing changes in her personality - anger , bad behavior , favouritism - scattering stuff here and there and being very untidy .
Why did you bring her home without asking me , I asked my daughter . Let her go and stay some place else, but she would have none of it .
Things were getting out of hand and everyone was getting a trifle hyper while trying to please her .
There were arguments galore .
A decision had to be made and made soon before she became too comfortable and we had her for life .That sure would be burdensome .
Imagine taking her on holidays as well .
And so ............................. this evening - just about an hour ago .......................
I took her for a drive - stopped the car and asked her to get out .I was firm yet polite.
She looked dismayed and refused to obey.
That's when I took matters into my own hands - I literally picked her up and put her down in the park.
I hope she does not return.
The house is quiet - we miss her - the daughter is crying .
Yes I miss her too and we had grown close over these past three weeks .
They say CATS & KITTENS come back and its difficult to get rid of them.
She was just over a month old so I guess she will not be able to find her way back
I am sitting with fingers and toes crossed - hoping she does not.
TINKLE - WE MISS YOU
