橘色毛的阿橘,今天下午離開了。
1994-
我在家門口旁大樓逃生梯上撿到一隻手掌大橘色幼貓,
好像才剛斷奶,怎麼出現在八樓?
但從狂叫中知道她很餓,順理成章帶回家,從此安穩住下了,
成為家裡一份子。起先每當我們在客廳吃飯看電視時總是很忙
,因為阿橘聞到飯菜香老想要撲上茶几,我們只好一直阻擋..
『阿橘像是坦克車一樣』弟弟曾如此形容。沒有過很久,阿橘
學到了等待早餐晚餐,飯碗裡永遠不缺,再不必害怕餓肚子。
後來我們搬家了,新家是一棟透天,搬家那晚,三隻貓躲在新
家一樓椅子下怕的鬼哭神嚎,媽媽還在一樓陪貓們過夜,沒想
到後來各自整棟樓趴趴走,愛躺哪就躺哪。
新家探索後,阿橘找到她專屬的位子-放滿乾淨衣服的衣櫃,
因為阿橘有潔癖,不會隨便趴躺,一定都是在墊子棉被或衣服
上面,找不到她的時候去翻翻爸爸的衣櫃,就能找到瞇眼抬起
頭的橘子貓。
她還有著其他貓沒有的怪癖,一天多次咬著小布偶爬樓梯,上
樓鬆口大叫,下樓也大叫,甚至半夜也是。在大叫的時候,阿
橘像是進入迷幻空間,對外界的呼喊充耳不聞,而我們沒人能
知道那究竟是什麼意思。
阿橘還很喜歡溜出去,每天都在門口等機會,但膽子只長到出
門口的那一刻,發現自己衝破我們不留神的防線,沒高興一秒
鐘,變成超級膽小鬼,立刻鑽到車子底下,得請出水槍才能逼
她衝回家,如此忙碌叫人好氣又好笑。
我離家唸大學,工作後去了更遠的南半球,回臺灣家鄉結婚,
弟弟結婚,爸爸媽媽當上阿公阿嬤,阿橘參與每一個家裡的階
段,21年,早就超過貓的平均年齡,超過我生命中一半的陪
伴,小小橘來到了老老橘,而我怎麼樣都記得她當初在逃生梯
上,餓慘大聲喵喵叫朝我走來,那小不隆東的樣子。
<電影少年Pi的奇幻漂流>裡最棒的一句話:『人生就是不斷地
放下,但最令人遺憾的,就是沒有好好地道別。』總是想著不
要改變,離別是暫時分開,下次一定會再見的,也許抱持如此
心情有了期待,卻在突然意外時難解遺憾。
該感謝老天爺,給了足夠時間讓阿橘慢慢年老,最後這年裡漸
漸顯露出來,不會隨光線收縮的瞳孔說著她看不見了,慢慢地
也聽不見了,有時候被摸她還會嚇到。我們不更動家具的位置
,讓她能憑著記憶跳到沙發,再爬到喜歡的茶几上睡覺。
可是這次發現她連這最後的記憶能力也消失了,不分晝夜對她
都是黑暗,阿橘完全不知道方向轉著圈,一次次撞到牆和桌椅
發出很大的聲音,直到她卡在某個角落停下了,才似乎得到一
絲平靜。
我忍不住哭了起來,沒有想過有一天會失去,抱著只剩下骨頭
的阿橘,手指在她眼眶周圍的骨頭凹陷滑過,她的毛還是很乾
淨,在陽光下有點亮。有時候她願意被抱著,有時執意要下去
走走,我們都順著她,活這麼久了,想要如何都給她決定吧。
謝謝妳小橘子,帶給這個家的所有陪伴,謝謝妳留給我時間好
好與妳道別,如此就不會有遺憾,全是滿滿的想念。
