Daily Pet Photography: my cats are recovering from their trauma, แมวพึ่งทำใจได้จากเหตุการณ์ตื่นตระหนก

in #busy5 years ago

This is my entry for #dailypetphotography hosted by the lovely @kona. During the last two weeks my cats have been through very bad experience. But as soon as I arrived at the country house, I tried to put them at ease, feel safe and secure once again.

My four cats disappeared two weeks ago while I was not at home. After four days the smallest cat came back alone and she was crying for her family everyday. A few days later, the older brother cat cane back looking very hungry. The two cats were keeping each other company for several days without any sign of the other two cats: the aunty Rosy and Snow. I was quite worried about their long disappearance. When I arrived the two cats were still missing and I had to keep calling their names around the garden to give them some direction as the tall wild grasses around this area could make them confused.

Greetings for long lost brother Snow from Kwan.

I was giving up hope of finding them alive again. My gardener did not tell me everything. She told me she saw blood on the stairs the morning all the cats disappeared. I knew straight away that those five dogs came to chase the cats away. Rosy probably put up a fight as she did when she was first attacked by a dog and she was injured. This time five to one was too overwhelming. She probably protected her families by giving them enough time to escape. These dogs followed the injured Rosy into the bamboo groves nearby where she finally faced several injuries and died on the morning when I was on my journey. My gardener told me she noticed some bad smell from the bamboo groves whenever the wind blew this way. It seemed to her like the smell of a dead animal. It has been three weeks since we last saw Rosy.

Joan tried to stay close to Snow.

My calling, yelling and praying for Snow paid off as on my second mornin, I heard a faint voice calling for me. Snow finally found his way back by following my voice in the morning. It has been raining very heavily everyday hereto it was great that he could find his way back from those fields and thick wooded area around the house. Snow was very skinny after disappearing for two weeks. The two cats were quite happy to see their big brother; Kwan licked Snow gently. I had to give him extra food and snacks to fatten him up.

After eating lots of snacks, Snow has the energy to climb tree again.

Now, the two cats became more lively instead of being so quiet and depressed. The three cats stayed closed to each other. I amused them by playing hide-and-seek with them in the garden to bring back their jolly self and confidence. These cats are becoming dependent on my company and following me around the garden. Yesterday I managed to get them to climb trees again.

I have accepted that Rosy was dead and I prayed for her better reincarnation in her next life. She was a really sweet cat with bad experience as a kitten when the neighbour’s dogs came in to attack the mother cat and her three kittens, only two kittens survived the attack. Rosy was badly bitten in her back leg so she has to wait quietly in the woods for seven days before she could walk again. I came limping into the garden looking very thin and famished. That was two and a half years ago! How time flew so quickly. It took me over a year to get Rosy to allow me to touch her and carry her around the house. Now I have to revive my cats’ self-confidence and their stamina for running away from attacking dogs. I pray they these spoiled dogs would not come into my garden again.

สองสัปดาห์มี่ผ่านมาเรามีปัญหา เรื่องแมวหายไปหมดทั้งสี่ตัว ตอนที่เราไม่อยู่บ้านนั้น สุนัขห้าตัวของเพื่อนบ้านแอบเข้ามาในสวน และมันได้ไล่กัดแมวของเรากระเจิงสูญหายไปหมด สองสามวันถัดมาแมวสองตัวกลับมาบ้าน ส่วนแมวอีกสองตัวหายไปสิบสองวัน เราเป็นห่วงโรซี่และสโนว์มาก คนสวนของเราใาบอกเราที่หลังว่าเขาเห็นหยดเลือดที่บันไดบ้านเช้าวันที่แมวหายไปหมด เราก็รู้ทันทีว่าสุนัขห้าตัวเข้ามาแย่งอาหารแมวกิน และไล่กัดแมว. เจ้าโรซี่เป็นอมวที่เคยถูกสุนัขกัดจนเกือบตายมาแล้วตอนเด็กๆ มันจึงกล้าสู้และคงช่วยปกป้องหลานๆของมันเหมือนเมื่อก่อน มันคงโดนรุมกัดจนบาดเจ็บ แล้ววิ่งหนีไปทางป่าไผ่ แต่สุนัขหมู่ไล่กวดตามไปกัดจนมันตายในป่าไผ่. ลูกแมวตัวอื่นๆจึงมีเวลาวิ่งหนีทัน

เรากลับมาบ้านเจอแมวหน้าเศร้าสองตัว ท่าทางมันเหงามาก เราก็ได้แค่ให้ปลาทูกิน และคุยเล่นกับมัน เพราะยังมีท่าทางหวั่นวิตกตลอด. เราก็ตะโกนเสียงดังมากเรียกหาแมวอีกสองตัวในสวนหลังบ้าน ถ้ามันรอดและหลงทางจะได้ตามเสียงเรากลับมาได้ เช้าวันที่สองเราได้ยินเสียงร้องเบามากที่ประตู เจ้าสโนว์กลับมาหลังจากหายตัวไปสิบห้าวัน มันผอมโซตัวแบนมาเลย มันร้องไม่หยุด เล่าเรื่องที่เกิดขึ้นให้เราฟัง เรารีบให้อาหารเพื่อขุนให้มันกลับมาแข็งแรงเหมือนเดิม แมวอีกสองตัวดีใจมากที่เจอพี่ชาย มันมาคลอเคลียอยู่ใกล้กันตลอดวัน

ตอนนี้เราทำใจได้แล้วว่าโรซี่ถูกสุนัขกัดตายอยู่ในป่าไผ่ คนสวนบอกว่าได้กลิ่นเหมือนมีซากสัตว์ตายในป่าไผ่ เราได้สวดมนต์แผ่เมตตาให้มันไปเกิดในชาติภพที่สูงกว่าเดิม ให้เป็นคนที่เกิดในแผ่นดินชาวพุทธ จะได้มีโอกาสปฎิบัติธรรมด้วย เราก็พาแมวเดินเล่นในสวนตอนกลางคืน และพยายามให้มันวิ่งขึ้นต้นไม้ อบะมีพลังใจเหมือนเดิม เราก็ภาวนาว่าเจ้าสุนัขของเพื่อนบ้านจะไม่เข้ามาในสวนอีกเลย

Wishing you peace, good health and prosperity.

So so sorry for Rosy .. I know how much you cats mean to you. Can you keep tje 3 young ones in the house when you are gone? I hate dogs...

These are kittens with a wild birth and upbringing by their stray grandmother and mother. They live in the first floor which has open space into the garden.

This was the first time the neighbours became very irresponsible. I just heard yesterday that these dogs killed all the chickens in a villager’s coop.

So, wait and see.

I get you on the kittens wild nature... I just feel so bad about this... :-(

Thank you very much! I still feel sad as well, the youngest cat is like a shadow to Rosy.

I just pray that all will be well.

Welcome back! It’s very quiet around here!
We need to have a party!

Agree!!!
I am not against a boat trip on the river :-))
Which I did on vacation and there is a video of my city during this walk.
I’ll ask my son to transfer photos and videos to my computer.
And how he will do it I will expose in a post.

I'm glad the other three are home, but I'm so sad about Rosy! That actually made me tear up. She was such a brave girl. I wish whoever owns those dogs would keep them from going onto your property. I'm so very sorry!

Thank you for your sympathy. I really missed her a lot and I also cried for her suffering. The three cats have begun to run around the garden and be more cheerful. I have to sit with them from time to time, just to give them a sense of safety and security. These cars are too gentle and nice to be aggressive! I must have done something wrong in bringing them up! Their grandmother is a real fighter, she would attack dogs and chase them off the gate.

It’s difficult with neighbours on that issue. These dogs were not well looked after and they were not tamed properly, even the owners could not touch them.

We have moved the cats’ food dish to a safer place, and the cats have a better hiding place in the kitchen downstairs. I do training them to use the new hiding place. Rosy will be sadly missed for several months by these cats.

This story made tears come to my eyes. We had to fence our property to protect ours and ourselves from a couple neighbors dogs. We have also lost one to them.

Thank you for your understanding. We found where the cat got killed yesterday! She was a very sweet cat who always let her families go to the food bowl first, that’s why she’s the thinnest. I tried to fatten her up but she was just too generous. I hope she’ll be reincarnated into a much better life.

What beautiful looking cats although a very sad story.

Yap! Life goes on. I just have to teach my cats to be vigilant all the time!

Is it strange all four cats left at the same time or do they usually travel or stay together? I also wish a good life for Rosy next time.

Yes, these four cats usually go together as a pack of four. This time they were chased by four to five dogs. So they all ran for their lives.
Thank you fir your nice wish for Rosy.

I much regret to hear about the disappearance of Rosy and that she may probably be dead..... Hope she would be safe or stay in peace and happy in her next life.

In the meantime, I'm glad that the three cats can finally come back after long absence.... They all look healthy and happy now. I especially love when seeing them on the trees! It seems that it's one of comfortable places for them. They are really cute! You are very kind to them. ;)

Thank you very much for very nice comment!
Glad to see them lively again!

With my pleasure! I'm happy to see them via your photos, too. ;)
