Its not a long time ago, it was some 12 years ago… I had a cat named tom, well I like Tom and Jerry..may be that's why I named it as tom… It was there with me for almost 2 years…what a wonderful cat…I used to call tom or Tommy and he used to run towards me as and when he heard me calling… Early morning he used to come to me, bang his head to my feet to wake me up…if I did not respond, he used to bang his head to my head and wake me…he was hungry early morning hours I guess… it was a lazy bugger thou.. give him chicken meal, then you are done…for next 24 hours he will be asleep…however a small sound would wake him up, and after realizing that it was not a rat or something that he could eat, tom used to go to sleep again… If my mom opened the refrigerator, don't know how he would sense that…he would come running and stand in front of the refrigerator… Tom was a cat like the one in Tom and Jerry…once the neighbors bought some hens and everyday some hens went missing till we caught Tom eating those! Well that's the law of nature and the food chain… Overall Tom was nice cat… once a snake came into the house and it was Tom who had a nice meal by swallowing the snake and for next two days it was just sleeping… Keep the vessel of milk in front of him, he never drank it unless it was poured in his dish, a gentle-cat!!!… hmmm if it were to be chicken, within few minutes there wont be any sign of chicken left, even the bones would disappear… We shifted to the newly built house and after few days Tom went missing… Tried searching him around the neighborhood calling ‘Tom..Tommy…tom..’ however could not find him..neighbors might have thought that I have gone crazy and yelling some names in the midnight… I miss tom even today…
