pet cat

Raba'i alias Sitimah, a resident of Wringinanom Village, Panarukan Subdistrict, Situbondo Regency seems to regard his pet cat as his own. How not, 55-year-old woman was feeding her cats.

It sounds weird, but that's the life that Sitimah has done for the past 20 years. However, more than 20 cats he kept, only three ngempeng tail. The rest behave like cats in general.

Sitimah admitted feeling strange when the first time there is a cat snatched her breasts. "At first, I was shocked. Kok there cat like sucking, "said Sitimah when found at his home on Wednesday (06/15/2011).

He also admitted initially her nipples pain in the mouth of the cat, because no matter how the cat's gear taper. However, the pain was arrested, because he did not want to remove or throw away the cat who likes the netek.

"Poor sir, cats also need to be loved," said the woman who lives alone, without children and husband.

Of course, there is no milk coming out of Sitimah's breast. Still, the cat would not let go of his mouth. In fact, ngempeng activity that makes the cat feel comfortable and until falling asleep. Uniquely, the cats will be angry if forced to release her mouth from Sitimah's breast and immediately clawed.

"Instead of being scratched, let's just leave it," said Sitimah while hugging one of the cat who was ngempeng.

Usually, ngempeng activity begins with one by one ride from the three cats to Sitimah lap, as he relaxed on the terrace. If the mother does not immediately remove her shirt, the cats will signal 'wishing' that is by biting fingers Sitimah. That's as a sign that the woman had to thrust her breasts.

"This is a cat bite scratch on my finger," said Sitimah while showing her wrinkled fingers.

His association with the cat began in 1978. At that time he began to love to keep the cat. In fact, with the passage of time, the 'army' increased in number until one day reached 40 tails. "At first there were about 40 tails, but now there are only 27 cats that come with me," said Sitimah.

It's no easy matter to keep that cat. His aged body forced him to work as a farm laborer and wash his neighbor's clothes. Heavy work must be done because Sitimah had to cook 2 kg of rice every day. "In a day I have to cook two pounds of rice, to eat me and the cats," he explained.

According to Suma'ati, Sitimah's neighbor, the sacrifice of the woman was much greater. He volunteered not to marry because more love the cat. Before the flash floods that hit Situbondo in the early 2000s, Sitimah was once proposed by a man, but Sitimah refused it outright because he forbade her to keep a cat.

"It's better I do not have a husband, if I have to split with a cat," said Suma'ati imitate the words of Sitimah.

Suma'ati himself admitted to pity to see the life of Sitimah who 'berbelimang' cat, and had to work hard until old for the cats. "What to do, yes we let it," said Suma'ati.
