Today on 3 July 2011, Pompuan left us and gone to heaven. This afternoon, we found her laying on her side with her eyes barely open. I didn’t look closely, it was too sad for me. We gave her some water and moved her to another cage so that she could relax without the others bugging her. Later at 8pm, she was no longer breathing and Azman buried her safely under the plam tree.

Pompuan was just a few months old. Her fur was white as snow with black patches of her face and ears. She was one of the cutest bunny rabbit we ever had. That’s why Miki adored her. He was the one who named her Pompuan anyway.

Pompuan and her brother Midnight was born a few months ago but she has always been very small compared to him. She was a picky eater, she only ate her rabbit food and soft leaves. No carrots or celery.

We don’t know what was the cause of her passing. Takkan nak buat autopsy pulak. But still I am very sad and somehow scared.

Why scared you might ask me… Well, try reading this old entry of mine HERE.

Below are some pics taken recently.

Miki and Pompuan –  taken on 26th June 2011. Miki just got up from bed, tak mandi tak gosok gigi terus main dengan rabbit using his new Bunny Harness. We just bought the harness for Miki to play with our rabbits simply because without it it’s almost impossible to let the rabbits out of their cage without having to chase them around like crazy.

Arwah Pompuan adalah sangat chomel ok!

We will miss you Pompuan!

To all the readers of this blog. Yes, 99.99% of you are silent readers, have a great week ahead!

We bought our first pet rabbits during Christmas holidays last year in Malacca. We bought a couple of bunnies, male and female that Miki called Kokades and MinMin. After we moved to our new house in June, MinMin gave birth to 3 super chomel baby bunnies.

When the babies were about a month old, MinMin passed away. Her brokenhearted hubby Kokades ran away from their enclosure and never came back and the poor babies were snatched away by stray cats when their Mummy weren’t around to look after them. Isnt that the saddest thing ever? *tears*

So we bought another two bunnies from Rope Walk, Penang. Once again named Kokades and MinMin. After a few weeks MinMin II passed away for no absolute reason in their cage which was kept in my wet kitchen/laundry room.

Kokades II was left alone so we bought another male that Miki called Itam. During Hari Raya Haji, we bought another two cute young ones, named Monster (by the super Genius Miki, punya comel camtu ko boleh bagi nama Monster) and Ninie.

Two weeks ago, Monster slipped through his cage to play outside on the ground and trapped in the rain. He died! We were very-very sad. Now we are left with 3 rabbits, the adults –Kokades II and Itam, and sekor arnab remaja bernama Ninie. (Aku yang bagi nama Ninie ni kalau Miki mesti dia bagi nama Crocodile ke T-Rex ke… tak sexy langsung nama camtu)

But what I am writing about now is not about surviving bunnies. I wanna tell you about the mystery behind their death!

DEATH!

DEATH!

DEATH!

tenenenenggg tenenenengggg (sekali lagi sound track Twilight Zone berkumandang)

Here is the chronology:

1) A few days after MinMin died in her cage in our garden, burglars climbed over our fence and fled with shoes and other valuables kept on the porch. I wrote about it HERE.

2) A few days after MinMin II died in her cage in the wet kitchen/laundry room, burglars broke into our house and total lost had amounted approx RM10K. Didn’t specifically write about it but u can get the gist HERE.

3) Last week, while packing our stuff to go for my office’s Family Day trip, we realized that Azman’s shoes and also my pair of 4 years old ADIDAS were missing. Monster had died a few days before.

Can somebody make a conclusion out of this? Why did everytime one of our pet rabbits died, burglars and pencopet kasut would come and steal from us? When the bunnies died outdoor, the buglars just pick up scraps in the garden and when MinMin II died indoor, the broke in into the house. Is it a coincidence?

Could their death be some kind of omen that something bad is going to happen to the house? Or is the death of rabbit brings bad luck (I dont believe in this -  syirik!) Should I continue to rear rabbits or not? Phew!

Eiii misteri sungguh laaa!! Dah la pemakan bunga… pembawa misteri lak tu…. Pengsan aku camni… nak bela anjing penghalau pencuri takleh pulak… aku bela anjing laut je lah.. boleyyy?? anjing jugak kan? *pitam*
