A Year with Boba and Cengkih

by - June 03, 2024


Last year, on this date marked the beginning of a remarkable journey for me as I welcomed two furry companions into my life: Boba and Cengkih. As fate would have it, these two adorable felines, siblings bound by a shared lineage, became an integral part of my daily existence.


Boba, with his sleek tuxedo coat, and Cengkih, adorned in a vibrant orange merigold, captured my heart from the moment I laid eyes on them. It was through a fortuitous encounter on a Facebook group that I first learned of their existence. The owner, burdened by caring for six cats, sought to find them loving homes. Without hesitation, I knew Boba and Cengkih were meant to be mine. 


The decision to adopt Boba and Cengkih is not just a spontaneous desire but rather the culmination of a deep desire to provide a nurturing environment for furry companions. Having never embarked on a fully indoor pet ownership journey before, I was both excited and anxious about what lay ahead.


Cengkih, the gentle soul of the duo, embodies tranquility and grace in every aspect of his being. His soft meows, reminiscent of whispers in the wind, serve as gentle reminders of his presence. With a habitual liking for peaceful slumber, Cengkih finds solace in the warmth of shared beds, seeking comfort alongside me and mama. Despite my best efforts to engage him with toys, Cengkih remains indifferent, preferring the simplicity of quiet companionship over silly play. I can say Cengkih is very manja with me and mama but he hates hugging people but loves belly rub so much. 



In stark contrast, Boba emerges as the mischievous counterpart, a whirlwind of energy and mischief. His boisterous meows echo through the house, a testament to his spirited nature and unyielding zest for life. Boba's insatiable curiosity often leads him astray, forever seeking new adventures beyond the confines of home. He once keluar senyap-senyap and went to lepak at my neighbour house. Yet, beneath his bravado lies a timid heart, easily startled by the unknown and quick to seek refuge in familiar surroundings. Well both Boba and Cengkih are coward. Despite his bold manner, Boba's loyalty remains unwavering, his love evident in his desire to remain by my side and that of mama. He loves hugging me!

Together, Cengkih and Boba form a dynamic duo, united by their shared love for me and mama. Their fearful towards my other siblings speaks volumes of their unwavering loyalty, as they seek comfort in the familiarity of my presence. 



Cengkih and Boba embody the beauty of individuality within the bonds of companionship. Through their distinct personalities and quirks, they remind me of the depth of connection that exists between humans and their beloved feline friends. In their presence, I find solace, laughter, and unconditional love, forging memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

The past year has been a journey of mutual growth and companionship, marked by moments of laughter, warmth, and unconditional love. Boba and Cengkih have taught me the true meaning of responsibility and compassion, reminding me of the profound impact that animals can have on our lives. In their presence, I have found solace amidst life's uncertainties, their unwavering companionship serving as a source of strength and comfort. Whether curled up beside me on the bed or playfully chasing after each other, Boba and Cengkih have become more than just pets; they are cherished members of my family.



Looking ahead, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to share my life with these two extraordinary beings. As we embark on another year together, I am eager to continue nurturing our bond and creating lasting memories that will be treasured for years to come.

The adoption of Boba and Cengkih has been a transformative experience, enriching my life in ways I could have never imagined. Through their presence, I have discovered the true meaning of love, companionship, and the profound connection that exists between humans and animals. Boba and Cengkih may have entered my life as two strangers, but they have since become irreplaceable pillars of my existence, forever etched in the fabric of my heart. I hope they both will be healthy always and live longer by my side. I once read, throughout our life, we may adopt many cats, however throughout their life, they only have us. Till then.
