First pet

My first pet was a cat. We had a few ones when I was in elementary and high school. We named them all, Mingkay. Their nickname was Ingkay.

The hardest part of having pets is their death. I remember I would feel so gloomy when they die or they decided to run away. It's even harder when you see them die. For instance, cats, they get run over. We live by the road and our cats love to take their naps under the vehicles or on the vehicles. They like crossing the streets too. You can't really stop them from doing them cos it's their nature.

My parents stopped having pet cats when I was in college. I guess they got tired of cleaning after them and going through losses. As much I love cats, my parents love them more. Their death was heartbreaking for them too.

People don't know this but the very first essay that I wrote (in my writing life) is about my deceased cat in 2011. He just died that time and I felt so down. I decided to write something about him hoping I could ease the pain. I wrote more essays about various things after that.
