Esse quam videri

They said don't look back but I did.

A coincidence but a welcoming one, nonetheless.

Went out for a short jog in the evening and on my way back, I heard a soft, sad meow from somewhere. Turned out it's a small kitten in the drain nearby though he's not exactly in it. I admit my first reaction was to walk away and ignored the pitiful cry since I was damn tired and there's already four cats and one kitten I'm feeding right now.

Few paces away and I turned back. Maybe I felt bad, maybe I thought I need to do something good for a change. So, I walked back towards the kitten and he hopped across to me and started following me back. I tried to pick him up and carried him but since I was drenching wet with sweat, had to put him down since it would have made him cold.

I'm imagining it must look pretty cute; a kitten following me from behind and me kept kicking him every now and then since he kept appeared at my side suddenly LOL

Just before I turned into my residential area, a car stopped beside us and a young lady came down to look at the kitten. She asked if I want the kitten and I said no, so she carried him away with her. I suppose he is better off with her since I'm not really good with pet anyway haha

I'm glad I turned back.

Love
me
