4am and thinking of kittens
Here I am, while doing work I cannot escape thinking about my kittens. Are they safe? Have they eaten today? I cried and cried and cried. I know cry cannot bring them back but I feel the need to cry, to help eases the pain of losing them. I feel that all hope is gone. I went looking for few times yesterday; the latest being at 11pm. I even printed missing kitten pamphlets and asked my nephew to put them inside the neighbors mailboxes early morning yesterday.
I miss them so much. I pray that they will come back one day.

Halal food in Cape Town
When I visited Cape Town, looking for Halal Muslim food was very easy. This is due to the fact that about 10% of the population are made of Muslims. Other than that, there are some restaurants that serve only seafood.
If you are lazy to go find Halal Muslim food around the town, you can always go to Victoria Wharf’s Food Court at Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. There are quite a selection of Halal food there. There’s Nur, Anat, Subway and many more.
If you are not into Arabic/Indian/Middle East food, you can always opt for Texie’s. They serve Snoek and Chips, Seafood Platter, Calamari Gatsby, etc. Texie’s can be found all over Cape Town; there’s one on Adderley Street (just opposite Fountains Hotel where I stayed), there’s one at Sea Point, one at Grand Parade (near Cape Town City Hall). You can view the directory here.
And of course there’s huge selection of seafood restaurants around Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.

Missing kittens
They are now missing. It has been four days and I am worried that they are starving. This is not the first time they wandered far from home. The first time was few days before they went missing. They have a cage but we normally let them play outside the cage and put them back in when it’s sleeping time. They dislike the cage and they would scream like crazy wanting to play outside.
I have been searching for four days and I am hoping to reunite with them soon.
