Taboo,

I hope you get well soon. I hope you don't die, even if you probably have only 20% chance of living.

I'm awfully sad right now, and depressed. Heck, I even cried.
And it's all because of one teeny sugar glider.

Taboo probably got mauled by my cat, Louie while I wasn't at home - most likely in school.
I only found out today that he was very weak and couldn't climb.

It really pained my heart to see him struggle, so as soon as my mom came back, we straight away went to Ikano to check what's wrong with him.

At first, we thought he was just sick and weak, but in reality, he got injured. He was bleeding around his privates, and well. He was extremely weak.

We went to the Pet Safari in Ikano, but the clinic there was closed and the doctors there don't take care of exotic animals.
The nurse recommended us to a pet hospital in KL, which specialized in exotic animals.

As you see, Taboo was really weak and looks like as if he was about to die. His mouth was open, and gasping for every air he can.

A rush of guilt and depression just welled inside me when the dude who sold us the glider told us that he was probably mauled by an animal (definitely Louie). I couldn't help but cry.

It wasn't the huge WAH WAH WAH cry, but there were definitely tears.

I just felt extremely sad because I made so many wrong decisions, and not thinking about our cat when we were buying Taboo.

The decisions were;
- Putting it outside my room, where it was vulnerable to anything
- Getting it a wired cage. If we had gotten a glass aquarium-like case, our cat wouldn't be able to try to maul it.
- Getting a red pouch for it to sleep in. If we had gotten a different color, maybe we would be able to see the blood.


I'm really sorry, Taboo. Even if you're just an animal and even if I only gotten you for a less than a week, I'm sorry.


My dad had asked me to buy another glider to "replace" Taboo, but I just don't want to get another tiny pet anymore.



PS.
If you're laughing at me right now for writing this whole blog post dedicated to an animal, then you probably don't have a heart. :/
