Yesterday I walked from the animal house through Murni Cafe and there was a cat looking so thin walked towards me. Suddenly the issue mentioned in MPDM's group popped out into my conscience. People are so angry because the cats keep peeing and pooping everywhere because obviously, it stinks. I did not doubt that. Plus, some of the cats did their business on the shoes. Seeing the cat, I just kind of reflect, 'what if we are in their place?'. Walking around like crazy searching for food, but nobody is care. Nobody gives a damn that we are starving to death. They angry because there are people giving the cats food and causing them to urinate and defecate in the dorm. Well, if we look at the bigger picture, Malaysia has not yet established any authorised body that managing the stray cats, like Singapore or Japan. So, basically, if you go anywhere in Malaysia, especially a standard restaurant by the roadside, there will be absolutely cats everywhere. D.E.F.I.N.I.T.E.L.Y. Except if some of us living in a very high standard life, then, that is another story with having trouble to adapt with the cats everywhere, etc. We throw foods if we cannot afford to finish it. It is so wasted if just throw it. Then, what is wrong with giving the food to the cats that needed it more than us? Give to them nicely and at the proper place, then the cats will not jump and dig into the dust bin and drop it. We already knew about those cats, so why not keeping the expensive shoes or each time we left the room for a long time, put the shoes or the selipar on the rack? We have learned from our first experience or maybe others, and we should take the precautions. If we keep complaining, then what are they supposed to do? Terminate all the cats? It may be one of the best ways, terminate them in a humane way. However, there will be some cost required. I am absolutely not in the place to judge other people. All of these are to reflect me. I just cannot stop thinking if we are in their place. Not eating and being so skinny. Not eating for a few hours is already like hell. Then, how about them? Giving them food is one form of sadaqa. It is a reason for the increase in provision and it is a door from the doors of sustenance. As a Muslim, we know the advantages and benefits beyond that.
Wallahu a'lam. 니사
