My pet from hell

As a kid, you are dependent on a female, and that would be mom. She cares for you, comforts you and nurses you when you're hurt. I used to think about this often, and when those essentials are covered, I get to go out and play. Even today.

When I scraped my knee, Mom never panicked. I panicked. I panicked and screamed loudly, as soon as I saw the iodine or Mercurochrome. "Oh mom, why not just stab my chest with a kitchen knife?"

Then it was band aid time. There were all shapes and sizes. There were bid pads for the really cool injuries that usually involved lots of bloods and tears through the flesh. Oh, and I had quite a few of those with one pet dog of mine that came from hell. One day Mom got a pet puppy from the market and gave it to me. For quite some time, we have been running to our neighbour's house as we like to play with their cats. I used to feed mom's goldfish to the cat, sometimes with spaghetti, but most of the time with just plain old tomato sauce. I think mom got enough of that and gave us a new pet that wouldn't eat her fish. Mom gave it a stupid name and dad often called it by a dozen other names.. Our neighbour thought the puppy makes a good companion for their cat, and call it "tai piu" (they've been calling their cute little cat "small piu"). I think all the different names have actually confused our pet dog. Anyway, we still forced our pet dog to eat the cat food and mom's goldfish. We also forced the poor dog to live like a cat. Pyschologically, it must have wondered if it is actually a cat trapped inside a dog's body. I think all of us have drove our dog mad.. including the cat which had been sexually abusing the puppy at night.. In the end, it only responded to one name - "Song piu..." which literary means crazy piu... When our pet dog was fully grown, many weird things began to unravel. When crazy piu was one year old, our neighbour's cat was "mysteriously" missing. Not long after that, we hardly able to spot any cats left in the neighbourhood.. Sometimes we heard eerie wailings from dying cats at night followed by crazy piu's laughter.
