welcome home
i had been planning to continue posting on vacation happenings but now there is a matter at hand that has overshadowed other thoughts. the arrangements that we made for kylie the kitty and henry the turtle was that our maid, who normally comes mon, wed, fri (yes, in china everyone has a maid. we are actually weird cuz ours is only part-time. most have full-time and they do everything from cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping etc. ours just cleans and teaches my mother chinese while she learns english) was supposed to come while we were away and feed kitty and turtle and play with kitty and give her some attention. the other days, we arranged for a guy who works in the building (supervisor in the butler dept., ironically named marco) to come feed the kitty so that she'd get food and fresh water every day.
we left our key with the front desk and each time the maid came, she needed to sign in and out the key so that we could know when she was there. she did not come on wednesday. whats more is that since the other guy works in the building and has keys, we dont even know if he came. all i know is that we came home tonight to a lonely hungry kitty with an empty food bowl and hair, not her own, floating in her water bowl.
we know for sure that kylie was not fed on wed because the maid never showed up and no one else fed her on that day. i dont know about the other days but the guy said that he fed her on tues, thurs and sat. honestly, he lies a lot, so i dont know what to believe. i guess ill have to trust him. kylie's not talkin.
we had a chinese friend call the maid and she lied, saying that she did feed the cat on the days she was supposed to and then when she was told that we knew she wasnt there, she tried to make up some story about how the guy had told her not to come on wed. we had called him first, and he had already told us that he never spoke to her. my mother was really trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.
i am so mad knowing that poor kylie suffered and all because of this lying woman who feigned to care about her whenever she was here. its bad enough that kylie was alone, but to not get food and fresh water? i suppose it is good that we found this out now before we leave for the states for a month. no matter what solution i find for kylies care while we are in the states, i know im not going to be comfortable because now i feel i cant trust anyone. this is so awful on so many levels.
shes coming tomorrow. little does she know, we are firing her. i dont even want to be in the same room as her, im so disgusted with her. its one thing to be lazy or to lie but to deprive animals of nourishment, its just so despicable. i'm so thankful henry is still alive and i think kylie should be fine too. still. i want to lock her up and deprive her of food and water for a day.
