The Smart Cat

Dela was busy that morning, back and forth to the bathroom. The father who was sitting quietly in the room asked in surprise, "What's Del, you see from earlier to the bathroom?"

"This is well, bathe the Smart Cat." Dela replied while showing a white-haired kitten that was puffed up with a towel.

"Gosh, the cat apparently, why in the shower everything?"

"Out of his body dirty well, his fur also fell out."

The father was watching the cat wrapped in a towel, a small cat that looked thin and seemed less healthy.

"Cats don't like Del water, why bathed? That's why I'm wearing your towel, it'll get dirty."

Dela did not answer, frowned and left her father.

The cat named Smart Cat was picked up by the Adel in front of the house, probably thrown away by those who had, since keeping the cat was always busy him, he said, every time you go home from school, you must immediately carry everywhere the kitten goes. Which makes dad shake his head, Adel always takes him to the bathroom to be bathed.

"Bun, that's Adel's got a cat why in the shower continue? He'd dry the towel anyway." Dad fought with his wife.

"Let's well, it's a sick cat so take a bath with soap to clean."

"Soap cake? Waduh Bun, it can be transmitted to us that's a disease, it's hives you know?"

But apparently Mother and Adel compact, instead of forbidding even busy follow the cat. He ignored the father's warning and was busy making milk.

"Make a Smart Cat" he said as the father waited for an answer.

The Smart Cat is not naughty, the kitten is just sorted in bathing and being taken care of by Adel, but either because it is too often bathed or because it is congenital disease, or because it is, from day to day the condition of the cat instead of improving. his body even thinner and began not to eat.

The father who followed the development of the little cat was concerned.

"Already Del, do not bathe too often, and also do not always carry so, let the cat freely can walk there and here, later more stress you know the cat."

"Dad this, this is my favorite cat you know well, I have to carry on."

"Yes, but you kind of don't see that cats are getting so limp? And I watch and don't want to eat."

"Si Smart Cat is sick you know well, this is just falling out, it must be cleaned well, bathe in oake soap."

"Eh uh, don't Del, kasian, that cat can get cold, don't keep bathing." prevent the father.

Adel hush. It seems he began to think about his father's words, proved to be urgently bathing the Smart Cat.

However, the condition of the cat is increasingly unhealthy, do not want to eat and just sleep. Until one morning when the father was about to go to work, he met the silent cat did not move with a watery mouth. Dad tried to shake his body, keep quiet. Die. Apparently the kitten is dead.

"Dell! Del's! Smart Cat ni Del!"

"Smart Cat is dead" said his father.

"What a hell is Dad!?"

Adel looked at the cardboard Smart Cat bed, when he saw the cat still stiffly did not react and he just cried.

"Hu huu, Smart Cat is dead... "

"Follow, don't cry, it's good that dad buried his cat."

"In.. where did you bury him...?" adel asked with still a bit of a whim.

"Next to the house." Dad rushed to get the hoe.

A hole that is not too deep that is estimated to be the size of a kitten's body with a short time excavated. So the father took the carcass of the kitten, buried it in the hole. Adel who saw his beloved cat buried in the ground watched with his eyes pooled.

Finished burying Smart Cat, Dad rubbed his son's hair. "Of course, your cat is sickly, naturally he died, later Adel can have another cat as a substitute, so do not be sad."

Several months have passed since the death of Smart Cat. Dad even forgot that his son once kept a cat.

That day as usual after work Dad went straight home to change his clothes and sit back in the room reading books.

But just a few sheets read, heard the cry of his son. "Well, you're home, right?"

"Yes, it's in the room, what's Del?" just finished replying, her daughter was already standing in front of the room.

"Surprise!" he shouted while smiling widely.

In Adel's two hands was a tiny white cat.

"Smart Cat yah!' said his son happily.

I smiled at the kitten. "Well, I'm sure you said at the time that Adel could have another cat."

Adel smiled cheerfully, "Yes, Dad, I was right, this cat was in front of the house when he came home from school earlier."

"But remember, don't bathe too often."

Adel nodded, and they laughed happily.

Done it.
