有點難下筆,我思考了很久,接下來這幾篇都會有點爭議,不過我想至少有做個妥善的安排吧...。1999年的7月31號,爸爸再婚,這個阿姨不喜歡任何的寵物。不管是狗狗還是貓還是魚啊什麼的,覺得家裡養這些有個沒有的很麻煩而且會製造髒亂等等,大家都知道反寵物圈的人的說辭,也是直到今日很多人你我週遭的人都還在努力對抗,有成功也有失敗的。( 忽然想到小玄子的甜蜜多,我看著她那時的文章也掉淚 ,希望甜蜜多可以早點和小玄子團聚/_\ ) 當時在舊家,長輩們睡在樓上,我們三位小朋友睡在樓下,至少生活不會有太大的正面交鋒,所以對於貓咪的存在,長輩比較能夠視而不見。 (大家別擔心現在的阿丹,阿姨和爸爸在兩年前離婚了,理由當然不是阿丹別擔心。)
It's very hard to write about this post today, I think a lot, and I know since this "Farewell Friday - 6" until the end, it may have many controversial points, but I think at least our 3 sister has arranged well. At 1999 July 31st, my Dad (Adan's GrandPa) was getting married (for some reason visitors may doesn't know, you may visit the last post at the end), this stepmon hates pets, not only cats, also doggies, fishes... any pets you can image, she thinks raising pets is very unconvenient and lots of troubles, and the environment will dirty...etc, kind of against pets people's saying, you know. Someone next to you and me even for my own, still fighting these opinion examples, some people success, some people lose. At the time 1999, we still live in our old house, Dad and stepmom lived upstairs, 3 kids and 5 cats were living downstairs, at least there were no directly conflicts to cats, so for the cats, stepmom doesn't pay attention on them. (By the way, don't worry about Adan right now, my Dad and stepmom divorced 2 years ago, the reason of divorce was Not Adan, don't worry~!)
但是不幸的事情發生了,也許我們不知道阿姨和爸爸之間是怎麼談的,有一天晚上,爸爸就來樓下告訴我們,最好把貓送走吧,家裡養那麼多隻貓太誇張了,不要養貓對身體比較好。因為我小妹有過敏體質,家裡有貓毛也許會導致她的過敏。我們沒有把話聽進去,因為爸爸也是說「最好送走」,後來又兩次三次,最後變成趕快送走,家裡貓咪喵喵叫很吵之類的,連阿姨自己也會在聽到貓咪叫的時候瞪著貓咪,說養這麼多好嗎?嫌家裡太大了嗎之類的。
我們是為了給爸爸面子,沒有跟阿姨吵架,因為我們都知道爸爸工作很辛苦,當時大姊已經進入了工作職場。我也再寫五專報告妹妹在上高職,三個人其實分別有空的時間也很有限,後來我們就商量了,因為二健三健還小,還需要馬格麗特,我們先送走一個最後至少留下兩個貓相互作伴或者是都不用送,至少先做出動作可以讓爸爸不要再一直逼迫我們,也讓爸爸不要夾在兩邊中間難做人,因次我們決定把一直跟大家不親的佩姬送給住在鄉下跟我們感情很好的朋友家養。
But, unfortunately, I didn't know what conversation between stepmom and dad, One day night, daddy came downstairs and talked to us. It's Better to send the cats away. He said there are too many cats in the house is not good, without cats, we will healthier. Because Toshie has an allergy body, my dad thinks the cat fur will make her easy to get allergy. We didn't pay attention to Dad. Because he said "it's better", not must be. And after, not only 1 time, dad came to say twice, 3 times... and finally become command, the sound of "meow meow" is noisy, and when we have dinner together, if our stepmon heard the meow sound, she stared to us and cats.
For our daddy, we want him happy, so we didn't against or argue with stepmom, because we know our dad works very hard. By the time 1999 summer, Pamilla was working, return home very very late, I was in the college need to write many paper, and Toshie was at senior high school. All busy busy. Finally we decided, because 2nd-Ken and little-Ken still need Margaret, we can't sent them. We could compromise sending one away first, at least don't need to hear stepmom's complain. We planned at least we need to keep 2 cats, and we need to do some action for showing our good attention to our stepmom, we like to live peace with her, so, we decided to sent Peggy away with very sad decision. We contact a very good friend who lives at the country side, good air, big land, we think she will be happy and running everyday there.
佩姬一直是我認為最美麗的貓,她的個性很奇怪不喜歡被抱,也不喜歡呼嚕呼嚕,妳一抱起來她就生氣,但是她的美麗是超凡的,我相信有很多日本少女漫畫的眼睛就是從她的樣子而來,一開始我們就只有抱馬格麗特和阿丹回來而沒有選擇她,現在又選擇讓她先被送走。心裡想著不免有很多的遺憾,她真的是個美人,比馬格麗特要美。
Peggy is the most beautiful cat I have ever seen, she has a strange character, she doesn't like to be hugged, doesn't purr. If you try to hold her, she will mad. But her beauty is extraordinary. I believe many Japanese cartoon character's eyes were from her eyes. At the first beginning, we choiced Margaret and Adan to come to our home first, right now we decided to sent her go. Until now, my heart still feel many regret...She is really a beauty, much beautiful than Margaret.
雖然她不喜歡被抱,可是也有很好玩的一面。她很喜歡抱著頭睡覺並且我對她照相時她會睜開眼睛偷偷看著我,這張是她的經典偷偷睜開眼睛的畫面,是我一定要給大家分享的。
Although she didn't like to be hugged, she also has a funny side. She likes cover her face sleeping by her hands and when I photo her she will open 1 eyes to let me shot. This is one her classic expression, I have to share to you guys.
這個是非常珍貴佩姬睡在小姨姨身上的樣子。而且當時我妹抱著她也沒有過敏。
This is very precious that Peggy was sleeping on Toshie's tummy. And when Toshie hold Peggy, Toshie didn't allergy at all !!
This one Peggy photo with Margaret and 2nd-Ken, is the last photo that Peggy photo with other cats.
對不起了佩姬,希望你在鄉村的生活過得很好,我一直很想念妳在我手上掙扎不想被抱的反抗力道的,我一直喜歡抱妳來惹妳生氣,妳不會怪我吧? 阿丹已經十歲了,那就代表妳也十歲了,不知道妳現在好嗎?
I am so sorry Peggy, I hope you are living well in the country. I always miss your struggle strength when I hug you purposely to make you mad, do you blame me? Right now Adan is 10, that means you are also 10, I wondered if you are doing well now ?
我的朋友居住在鄉下,貓咪是可以自由在鄉間散步的,聽說送過去過了一年中間貓咪出去散步間隔越來越長,最後就沒有回來過了。我也不知道佩姬是過得怎麼樣,但是至少她不用住在城市裡面被我們關在房間裡,她可以自由自在的奔跑了。
My friend is living at the country, that place could let cats happily freely walking and running. I have been told that Peggy went there, the alternate time she took walks outside was getting longer and longer, and she never came back after 1 year. At least she lives in a safe place without cars, she doesn't have to live in narrow city, she could run free.
Yes, Adan, I know you are missing her, too. (Adan is rubbing Peggy's photo with his head)

我也喜歡佩姬,因為牠有自己的個性,
牠很坦率的跟大家說:我是家人,不是寵物!
對於佩姬的離開,
我很了解那種愧疚與無奈,
尤其是最後沒有再見的失去聯絡,沒有好好的道再見,好難過,真的很難過……
It must be hard to think about all that - we think about previous cats, also. Peggy is indeed very gorgeous.
It's too bad some people can't deal with pets - my mom's mombean would never let a cat inside her house. She doesn't know what she's missing!
Hugs to you both,
Luxie
Peggy is beautiful indeed!
哎,整個無力感
當時你們夾在中間很為難....
現實,有時真的很難不低頭....
哎,今天本來不想看...
再下週...就有更傷心的事...
嘆呀!!
There are times of which I have the opinion that some things should never be said.
In regards to your stepmother, I will never, ever say them.
I find it sad that your stepmother disliked pets so much. They add so much to people's lives. I also hope that Peggy is still living happily in the country. She is indeed a very beautiful cat.
Peggy is beautiful, and I am sure she is living happily in the country. How sad that your stepmother disliked pets so much.
Peggy is very beautiful, and funny, too! I'll bet she is having fun running around the countryside. I am sorry you had to give her up, that must have been very hard.
Oh, Adan, I'm very sorry you miss your Peggy. I'm glad Mike was there to comfort you.
Hugs...G
A home in the country is a good thing, but leaving those you love is sad and bad... It must have been so sad for you to let pretty Peggy go!
When my mom was a very little girl, she had to give up her family dog, Sherry, to the poud, after her dad married his second wife. She was terribly allergic. My brothers and sisters and I were devistated. The housekeeper went the next day to the pound to take her to her own house, but someone had already taken Sherry home. Later her dad married a third time and that woman had a cat, but wouldn't allow it indoors. Can you imagine? Now, that stepmom doesn't have any animals and that is a good thing.
*sigh*
Mike is a god friend to be with you today to share this story with us.
You have had a lot of sadness, a lot of very difficult decisions. Thank you Adan and Michico for telling us.
we are sorry for the remarriage of your daddy (after your dear mother's death, sooo sad) and that his wife was not happy with animals. We are perhaps happy that the marriage is over. Now it is good to take care of eachother.
Adan, we also wonder about other kitties, so we understand your sadness about letting your sister go. Peggy was amazing, and 2nd-Ken looks just like you. almost :-)
It is good to continue to think of just the best things here, that you are with Michico and that your family is together and happy. That you take care of each other after so many changes.
We are so glad to know you <3
We wish that your house was only one hour away instead of soooo far away. we would come and play with you and sleep together.
Mommie was the youngest of three sisters. It is a nice relationship, sometimes fighting but always loving. She also has a younger brother. Now her oldest sister died in 2000 from brain aneurysm (smoking cigarettes) so she knows the pain and sadness of making a change to this new life to continue on.
Love and hugs and purrrs
Prin, Caesar and Rosemary
ps: we love to look at this picture of you and Michico with her sisters and daddy.
It is a treasure!
Life without a pet??
That happens?

I'm sorry to hear about Peggy the beautiful cat. I'm glad things are happier now.
That's sad. I hope she still running free in the countryside, or maybe another family found her and took her in as their own.
I bet Peggy is really happy in the country. It is a sad story but I'm sure it turned out for the best.

I'm sorry you miss your Peggy so much. She certainly is pretty. I'm glad Mike is there to keep you company while you tell your story.
Purrrrsss for such a sad story. I'm sure Peggy is happy.
Oh Adan
We are so sad. After reading about beautiful Peggy. We know you miss Peggy and are so sorry she had to move away. IT is very sad that some beans do not like kittys. Although we do not understand ... Momma says she prefers loves us just like her kids. She cannot imagine life without us.

Sometimes the call of the wild is too strong for some cats. My friend -- I was his boy, not the other way around -- Nichodemus couldn't resist the call of the ducks living in the freeway drainage pond behind our trailer house.
Michico, you were both brave and right in giving away all the cats. When I was married we had six indoor cat, one outdoor and a midium size black lab. (and a bird!) Very unhealthy, we got sick all the time...
Dan
That is so sad, Adan and Michico! My eyes are leaking. Peggy was indeed a very beautiful and special kitty. I am sure she knows that all of you loved her very much even though she had to go away. Purrrs and headbutts.
Peggy is a very beautiful cat, I'm sorry to hear that you miss her so much. I think she is very happy in the country.
This story made mom's eyes leaky.In regards to your stepmom that's very sad.To me animals are great companions. Ariel has enriched my life in many ways.I'm sure it was very painful to give Peggy up.Yet I think she's having fun in the country.You must not blame yourself
you had no choice...Hugs And Purrs Ariel
peggy is beautiful!
i am sure she is running around in the country with a smile on her face and happy memories of you all.

Oh, all these separations are so sad. Mike can comfort A Dan.
Why not Mike help A-Dan find Peggy and Margaret? Make a happy reunion.
8-9 years separation, Peggy and Margaret can still come home to A-Dan.
Peggy is beautiful.It must have been very hard to give her away.Let's hope she is happy in the country.
If StepMom did not like any animal,she must not like a lot of things.That is too bad for her
How could anyone not like Adan? You are too cute :)
Purrs
I am soooo glad Michico's Dad divorced that evil woman! And I am sure Peggy is happy wherever she is now, probably she found nicer people than that evil step mom.
We don't understand how someone can not like cats.... there must be something wrong with them...
You are so lucky to have your Michico! And she is lucky to have you!
原來是這樣...
很多人都有無奈的理由,
不是自己可以控制的,
我可以想像,每隻貓都是心頭肉,
不管是當小天使或不得已送走.
在主人的心裡都是錐心的痛呀!
