My name is Gomain.
There is not much of a story to tell because I came to
Khlongdogs when I was a very young kitty. But my life started
with less fortunate signs and so I found myself without my
mother soon after I came to this world. This is hard for a cat
since we depend on our mother for some time and hardly can
survive a life on the streets. There are dogs that roam the
streets and many of us young kittens fall victim to one of the
street dogs. Harry, Potter and Garfield lost one of their
sisters this way. And there are cars, motorbikes and many other
dangerous things that make survival almost impossible. But I was
lucky and was taken off the street by a nice woman who helps
cats in need. I later found my way to Khlongdogs through the
Internet and here I am.
Since I do not have a heartbreaking story like many others here
I better tell you more about myself and my friends here at
Khlongdogs. Well, I am very affectionate and I really like to
crawl all over Thomas and suck on his shirt whenever I have a
chance. I could do this for hours but I understand that he is
not so fond of wet shirts after all. I am also a rather active
and sociable young guy who makes friends very easily. But life
in a cat society can be difficult especially when there are many
cats with a history. Some of my friends lost a leg or an eye
before they came here. Others spent long time in a narrow cage or were
mistreated by people. We talk a lot and I understand that some
of these experiences are hard to forget. This is why I have to
be very patient and understanding when some of my friends are
moody from time to time. They usually have a good reason.
Sometimes we sit together and we wonder why and when we lost the
love of our human friends. Did we do something wrong or why do
so many people just look away when they see some of us in
trouble or in need of help. Yes, some cats don't have a
heartbreaking story and they look just like any other cat. But
this mainly is because there was someone who took us in and gave
us a home. Others have to face the harsh life of the street and
many cats die young or suffer over a long period from illnesses
or injuries. Adopting a cat is an effort. This we understand.
But don't you think we also have some things we can give you in
return?
We are not things, not toys and we do not have an expiry date.
We are living beings who have as much a right to be treated with
respect and dignity as any other being. We have a mutual
responsibility for each other and have to care for every life.
Please do not buy a pet for yourself or your children just to
dump us back on the streets when you move to another house or
when it becomes inconvenient to have us. We cats or dogs for
that matter are not for Christmas or birthdays, we are for ever.
And if you consider having a cat or dog in your life, please
consider to adopt one of those poor souls out there who sleep in
the rain, have no food or shelter and no medical whatsoever. We
love to be a part of your life - don't give up on us! |
