Haru has a twin brother that we fostered together in February 2021. It’s a ginger cat and we named him Ginger. Two weeks later we gave Ginger to Alycia’s best friend who renamed Ginger to Moon Moon.
We’ve always wanted to bring Haru to meet her twin brother before Alycia’s bff goes overseas for further studies. I’d brought Haru to meet her mother when she was several months old. But my hissy pussy hissed at her mother. How ungrateful! Many times I have this whim of adopting Haru’s mother too, to save her from the streets. It breaks my heart to see how forlorn she is. But I know that this is never going to come true. I can only cope with one pet at the moment.
The siblings meet-up was totally unplanned and turned out disastrous. At around 9pm on a weekday last week, Alycia’s bff called to inform that she was driving over to bring Alycia and Haru to her house. But Alycia didn’t tell me that they were going to her bff’s house. She filtered that part out and only told me that she was just bringing Haru to the lobby for a short while to meet her bff who’d brought Moon Moon over.
An hour plus later Alycia still hadn’t brought Haru back and I started to get worried. I called Sherilyn (who had followed Alycia to the lobby with Haru) and she told me that they were at Alycia’s bff’s house. It was already 11-ish pm. I was fuming. They had school and college the next day. As usual, if the girls are not home yet, I won’t be able to sleep well.
They were finally back slightly before midnight and had loads to tell me about Haru meeting her twin brother.
As I had expected, Haru was traumatized that she was with a stranger at a stranger’s house with another cat at the house. She was hissing and growling throughout her time at Alycia’s friend’s house.
Moon Moon was extremely agitated and kept hissing and spitting at Haru. He wasn’t pleased that another cat came into his territory. They both first sniffed each other’s noses and seconds later hissed at each other, as if they were enemies.
Thank God they did not get into a fight.
And I wonder why cats have no recollection of their own mother and siblings?!
Haru and her twin brother were inseparable when we brought them home from the street. Moon Moon would suck on Haru’s ear to sleep each night till her ear bled. But Haru would allow her brother to nibble on her ear. She was always protective of her brother.
Alycia and Sherilyn came home with deep scratches on their hands from Haru’s claws. Whenever the pussy’s afraid, her sharp claws would appear like a razor and whoever tries to carry her would get deep cuts. I’ve had my fair share of deep cuts on my neck, chest, hands and legs.
