I dedicate this series "My Bali Pet Stories" in memory of all lost, so valuable companions who brought love in our lives and to show how important it is to experience the friendship of animals, help as many as you can.
I could write long chapters in a book about so many, very sad but also happy tales. One day I will.
ADOPT ! DO NOT BREED in third world countries!
Thanks for your inspiration @tuck-fheman and the fab #steemeow and #steemutt tags I like very much. Perfect way to promote @Steemit and flying high like Loki. Lets see if whales will jump on me again:)
Who could flag this sweetness?
RIP to ALL of my uncountable friends, my biggest joys of my Bali daily familylife. Since I live a Vienna City lifestyle where its hard to keep pets, you might understand how tremendously I miss the few left behind with my Balinese family.
I am not sure where to start, so let me introduce TIGERLILY first
Her first name was Zatua = little warrior but she was more like a real little skinny, a bit funny looking, bitchy, selfish tiger-lily :) She didn't like to share me with others.
Pink is Punk and stretching out a sign of happiness.
This red and white striped cutie was one of my many happy Kitty Kats I saved from the wild and dangerous streets back in Bali. She fell down my neighbours roof and one of the three survivors, I tried to feed them through as usual. My airbnb guests really enjoyed a short term friendship and it was fun madness sometimes finding them in their beds and suitcases.
Unfortunately TigerLily just disappeared one day after her two best older buddies LOTUS AND ALOE got poisoned.
The Tech Trio
Somehow she seemed to feel lonley without her close friends. Her personality changed and I knew she missed them.
I do believe animals have similar feelings like human beings. I actually can say that I know it for sure.
I understand animals better than some people. Animals love me. I trust them!
I still don't trust human kind!
LOTUS AND ALOE, Brother & Sister!
I usually always adopt a minimum of two because cats are very social as long as they know each other from the beginning. It takes some patience for a few days to introduce new ones to the older but if you do it right, you will be able to enjoy a happy family.
So anything is possible if you give them enough time to befriend each other.
MomoMeow was even sucking my dog Cookies titties :)
Deadly Traps And My Good bye's.
I made a grave for Lotus who was able to reach our garden after she got trapped somewhere out in the neighbour jungle but she didn't make it because those heavy toxins entered her bloodstream too fast. I don't wish you to see these poor animals suffer as much as I did. I tried everything but my helpless attempts to save her failed as it did a few times before with Taksu and Cookie.
I was in tears once again watching those little bodies explode from inside. Trust me, its the most cruel way to die:(
Lotus little brother Aloe just disappeared the same day and I assumed he was not strong enough and passed away alone.
Anyways, this poor little thing did never stop visiting the grave until she left us. I could feel her sorrow.
Cats are very strange and she was not the only one who just took off. Maybe she also got caught by a street dog or snake or maybe disgusting humans poisons. I don't know! I had to learn how to accept the circle of life "eating and being eaten. There were always new ones who needed help again.
LOKI
I adopted Loki, my all time favourite cat ever and I enjoyed his sweetness for a long time but he would not accept a new house, refused to share the new home with a few other fellows.
So, He was really mad leaving our villa, just ran away as soon as I moved him to such new unfamiliar territory and never came back either. I guess he was so stubborn that he went to find our old home, where I tried to find him without success.
I am still crying over him as I cry over all others we lost.
cuddling with @bombayballerina
He was amazing! He was the real warrior!

JATI, my daughters boy is still alive
I heard my little Ghost got swallowed by a Python.
Another huge heartache. All others seem to be happy guarding the house but roaming the wild independently since I left. They come back for food I heard. No more cuddles.
SNOOP AND JATI !
My Kitty Jungle in Bali
One of my dreams since my childhood is to open a shelter and help adopting the ones who need homes but this wish has to wait for now. I did my best as long as I had homes to welcome those lovely pups, mutts and meows, my children.
Respect to @betamusic and all angels who care for our worlds animals who need our help and love as much as they give it to us and our children.
RIP my sweetest Bali Dog Taksu( also poisoned)
Yours
