It is hard for me to write this.
I've been putting this off for several weeks (months, in case of Meow Kung) - I am just not good when it comes to writing about loss of furry ones, strays or not. Most of them have names in my heart. It may be just a simple Meow Kung, which means "Mancat", in Cantonese.
Meow Kung passed on several months ago, we found him almost lifeless near our letter box.
He had not been well days before.
Being an alley cat, life can be difficult. Meow Kung was a stray (or rather pre-owned, as he was "fixed" with a collar - his owner moved away) from our previous rented place. He knew that we were moving and was adamant to stay within our sight while we loaded our stuffs to our van. Despite the noise, he remained - the other cat slave then said, "Hey, wanna come along?" - Meow Kung hopped into our van. He "meowed" the whole journey (which was only a 5-minutes drive) and as soon as we let him out - he had a new home. He was always there at our porch waiting for us to come home from work - he never fought with others for food - he was real MANCAT, a gentle one with manners, except when he bit me!

I still remember how he used to "stalk" me, funny.
I will remember you always.

And,
Tata, also known as Pataya - named after my dinner of "Nasi Goreng Pataya" - he bloomed or ballooned into a very handsome MANCAT, until he had this problem with constipation. We took him to the vet for a rectal edema and his health went bottom after that.
He passed away peacefully about 2 weeks ago.
It is still so fresh in my mind, using Tata as my "covershot" for CNY greeting this year - Tiger ... grrrr ... Oh god, I do miss him.

A Bodhisattva Prayer
From now on, until I achieve enlightenment, I rely on you.
Please give me wisdom to escape samsara.
If I am supposed to get sick, let me get sick, and I’ll be happy.
May this sickness purify my negative karma
and the sickness of all sentient beings
If I am supposed to be healed, let all my sickness
and confusion be healed, and I’ll be happy.
May all sentient beings be healed and filled with happiness.
If I am supposed to die, let me die, and I’ll be happy.
May all the delusion and causes of suffering of beings die.
If I am supposed to live a long life, let me live a long life, and I’ll be happy.
May my life be meaningful in service to sentient beings.
If my life is cut short, let it be cut short, and I’ll be happy.
May I and all others be free from attachment and aversion.
