"Bangaaru" our dear white CAT. We bought it home when it is 2 months old from my grand mother village.Very lovely it is. Me , my sis and my mother cared it very much. We use to play with sticks and rope. We use to care it like a new born baby.
The second day after it came to our little sweet home, my mother named it "Shankar Dada" by seeing its activeness and rowdyism.On that day morning a dog came into our home.Usually cats run away by seeing dogs, but for our surprise it ran onto that dog for fighting. We are afraid of whether that dog might bite it, as this is small and young. But the dog ran away out of the gate.So mother named it like that. After naming it, don't know because of the power of the name, it got doing too much rowdyism even on all of us.
Three days later, when milkman called to take milk at the gate of our house, i went to take the milk in a bowl. Then this cat started shouting to keep milk in its small coconut bowl.But I didn't pour into its bowl and wantedly ignored its sounds. Then just I crossed its bowl without pouring milk, it bite my leg and started dragging my dress and went near to my mother and making sounds "mew mew meeeewww" like complaining about me. Then by laughing I poured milk but it rejected to drink even I got its mouth near the bowl. It didn't drank until my mother again took the bowl near it and made it to drink.
Then my mother changed its name to "Bangaaram" so that it may keep silent from then onwards.It really started to feel my mother as its own mother. Even it started to feel me and my sis to be competitive to my mothers love for it.
What the drama it used to play in home is unexplainable in words. Even when I return here from home, i used to talk with it in phone. Whatever questions I ask, it used to answer in the same manner. My friends are surprised at first when I told that I am talking with a cat in my home on mobile. To make them believe I used to switch on the loudspeaker in the mobile and make them listen its answers. Naturally they too got surprised.
For holidays when i return to home, i use to sleep beside my mother leaning my head on her hands. Then this one "Bangaram" is ready. How it knows I am with my mother i don't know. But it comes and straight away it gets onto my mother's stomach and act like it is in deep sleep.If I just make its leg to remove from my mother, it used to start roaring on me, by seeing into my face. What will I do? me too getting angry I used to slap on its head or drag its ears and sleep again.
Almost it became like one of the member in our family.My mother use to call as it is her son. And really it used to behave as an elder brother for me and my sis, coming competition every where.Me and my sis used to get jealous sometimes by the love my mother shows on it and it shows on my mother but we use to enjoy it.
Every Sunday morning we use to get chicken for it. It loved to eat it.How it recognises its Sunday still we are surprised, but by the Sunday morning it starts roaring and awakens us to go out and get chicken for it.Sunday will be very cinematic in our home. Every time when we go out and come into home, it used to check the bags in our hands, whether we got its chicken or not. It used to sit opposite to the main gate and not at all moves from there until we get chicken for it.Even when after bringing chicken, I used to hid it up on the racks and tease it for sometime.And then it starts dancing around our legs shouting in loud and dragging sound like "mewwwwwwwwww meeeeewwwww". Anyone who listen its shouts has to close their ears. When we take out the chicken bag outside, then it skips high to catch it and runaway from there with the bag thinking that again we come and take it.
Days passed by, then entered its heroinn too into our home, "A lady cat". This observed that lady cat with utmost curiosity. It does nothing when it drinks milk in the kitchen. Until that new cat came, this never drank milk from the kitchen without knowing to us.But this bad cat teached it too. It used to go back to back of that cat. And now has to see my mother.She is very happy thinking that his son got a daughter-in-law home. Those days were very memorable to me. Whenever i called my mother she use to tell her Bangaram's adventures and love story. Oh my god!!! i can write its biography and has to publish it, to complete all its dramas and actions.
Today its almost three weeks it left home.Without me and my sis away from home,my mother felt very alone these days. And now this too left home.Last time when i went home i even went to neighbourhood streets too to search for it, but I didn't find it anywhere. So sad these days. We are missing it much.
