After months of waiting patiently, they cannot wait for it anymore. On Saturday, they asked me to go and buy them a cat for them. I told them to ask their dad first. Zaki was the first to go and asked his dad.
“Ayah, we want a cat,” said Zaki.
“No,” replied his dad.
“Why?” he asked.
“Are you going to clean the cat poop, pee and everything?” asked his dad.
“Yes.”
“So there a cat poop outside, Go and clean it. If you can do it, you can have the cat,” he said.
“Okay,” he said, "I do it," but didn’t move a bit from where he was.
Their dad looked at the rest of them, but no one went to clean the cat poop.
“See, I made my point,” said the dad.
“But the cat that we want to buy has been trained,” said Amir.
My hubby continued to read. They didn’t give up.
On Sunday, after the music class, they persuaded me to take them to the Pet shop. They were very excited thinking that they would get a cat, but before they get down from the car, I told them not to expect too much.
When we went inside the shop, there was no cat. They were disappointed but didn’t give up. They asked me to ask the girl in charge.
“Yes, there are two, but they need to be cleaned first.”
They were excited when they heard that.
“Oh, how much is it?” I asked further just to appease the kids’ curiosity.
“These two are expensive,” replied the girl.
“Yeah, how much?”
“It’s Persian, and the price is RM1600 and RM1800,” she replied.
I turned around and looked at them. “Expensive,” I said.
They still wanted the cat, and when I said I didn't have that much cash with me, Zaki said, “Use your credit card to buy.”
Huh! There’s no way I’m going to fork out that much for a cat until they proved to me that they knew how to take care of their pet. Meanwhile, let them continue to dream their dream cats.
