Selamat jalan Engki

Setiap pagi ada suara merdu memanggilku
Meong ...meong ...meong
Aku terbangun disambut
elusan manja darimu
namanya engki
dia selalu jadi pengawal rumahku
dari nakalnya tikus-tikus
bergerlia diantara tumpukan padi
Meong...meong...meong
pulang sekolah kamu juga menyambutku
entah ke berapa ratus kali sambutan lembut mengelus kakiku
bahagia melihat tatapan matamu
selalu hadir
lelah terasa hilang
kala bermain denganmu
tidak seperti biasa
engki tidak menyambutku lagi
wajahnya kusam
tatapannya sendu
aku mendekat dan bertanya
apakah kamu sakit
engki diam
tatapan matanya cukup untuk kutau
bahwa engki tidak sedang baik-baik saja
Tujuh hari berlalu
engki sudah tidak makan lagi
desahan lembut napasnya
membuatku sedikit menaruh harapan
hingga hari ke sembilan
engki pergi untuk selamanya
selamat jalan engki sayang
aku akan selalu merindukanmu
Berikut adalah terjemahan puisi ke dalam bahasa Inggris:
Farewell, Engki
Every morning, I hear a melodious voice calling me
Meow... meow... meow
I wake up to your gentle caresses, Engki
My guardian, who always protects my home
From the mischief of rats scurrying through the piles of rice
Meow... meow... meow
Returning from school, you'd greet me
Countless times, your soft welcomes, rubbing against my legs
Bringing joy to see your loving gaze, always present
My weariness vanishes when playing with you
But unlike before, Engki, you didn't greet me
Your face looked dull, your eyes sorrowful
I approached and asked if you were ill
Engki remained silent, her gaze enough to tell me
She wasn't well
Seven days passed, Engki stopped eating
Her soft breathing gave me a glimmer of hope
Until the ninth day, Engki left forever
Farewell, dear Engki, I'll always miss you.
Sahabatku

Layak mendapatkannya untuk kucing yang pernah saya pelihara dari kecil. kucing kecil yang jelek saat saya ambil di jalanan.
namun saat sudah besar dan bagus. Engki mati secara perlahan.
All the sadness that comes with having a pet. I've been there many times and still we have a cat although I believe that after these ones it's better not to have new ones since just like them I will not live forever.
My son's cat been very ill, close to death so my son went daily to the vet for infusion. The medication the cat never wanted and it was very expensive. He refused to eat anything but he he's still alive so I hope he will live longer for my son who is very attached to him.
We never know why cats stop eating here it was kidney failure caused by?
It's good to see how you wrote this for Engi. She for sure made life a lot easier. Will you have a new cat to catch the mice?
