Is it raining yet?

Well is it?

Is it?

It is.

Bujang on Monday

Did you want somefing san?

After running about with Megat, Bujang decided to take a breather and sit against the window looking at the light drizzle. I think he likes the coolness that comes with it. He is getting rather mellow and is still a little nervous about why Megat is suddenly being so friendly. Megat is slowly but surely taking top spot in the house as he is taking over Bujang's usual spots.

Goodnight Sunday

zzz....

New Cat-It

The water spurts out from the middle. Its much neater and quieter.

One of our Cat-Its said its last goodbye yesterday. It was the one that Toro likes to drink from. I then put a big bowl of water, which he ignored most of the day. I think he was used to drinking water from the fountain and needed some time to re-adjust. i thought he would get the hang of it this morning but to no avail. We have 2 other Cat-Its in different parts of the house but as he likes this particular place and he drinks water regularly from there, grandma thought we should get him another one. Also, we needed him to drink more water as he had UTI some months ago. Then of course there were the accidents of the boys kicking the bowl over when they were playing and chasing each other last night.

PL only had the Dog-It left and then there was this one. I had seen this one in the net and I read good reviews and so I bought it. its much easier to dismantle and clean. But Toro, true to form, has just walked past it and taken a few sniffs. It would take one more day or until he sees some other kitty use it. Megat took to it immediately though. But then megat is very brave to try new things unlike Toro and Bujang.

Do the catnip!

Ooohhh catnip!

Tanaka on the other hand was busy inspecting the catnip!

Toro took a good sniff...

and decided to have a quick lie-in...

Resting after that exhausting dance!

I decided to give the kitties new scratch boards as their old ones were ratty and I it was then that I realised that they had quite a few. 9 horizontal boards to share among 4 boys! They have 2 in each bastant, 3 in the big box under the table and 2 under my bed. Then we also have 2 vertical ones and 1 mat, which is a favourite. Ms Akira prefers the vertical ones. Maybe that is why none of them have made mincemeat of grandma's sofa...yet.

Tis a skill...

Firstly you find a convenient spot...

Then you go in slowly...

If you miss a step..go out again...

There you go...all in...

Turn around and relax ...zzz

Easy Peasy Sunday

Easily waiting at the door for Ms Akira

Easily guarding the doorway to the kitchen...

Easily waiting for the rest of Sunday to roll on by...

Easily cuddling up in a favourite mattress...

Monkey Business

I wonder whose monkeys have escaped...

There was a great deal of furor in the neighbourhood. This evening Cousin r saw a whole bunch of policemen hanging around FatBoy's area. the old aunty (who will be moving house soon) told her that there were 2 monkeys on the loose and the policemen had got them up a tree. All were waiting for the people from the zoo to appear to catch them. It seemed that these 2 monkeys had been on the loose since a few days ago in another area.


I think they belong to some residents as where would the monkeys come from- PR being reclaimed land and we have no green to talk about. So they could only belong to some crazy residents who think that monkeys are pets and not wild animals. When will people learn to leave Nature alone.

I suppose we will read about this in the papers tomorrow and learn the truth. I hope the moneys will be okay.

Happy Belated Gotcha Day Spencer

Hmmm...I am 10 years old....congratulations to me...

We wish you a long and happy life ....

Goodnight ....

zzz...

Watching Oprah's 24 season on TV

The boys: Ho hum.....zzzzz....

san: Wow...Madison Ave closed for Oprah That is power...

Sunday Naps

Naps on Sunday are precious. This is becauz we can then frighten san and grandma when we race wif each offur later. Then grandma would shout 'Ooiiiii....my coffee...naughty cats!" We love to frighten san and grandma but offur cos since we are cats, we can jump over coffee cups and tea cups and whatever is on the table. ..hee..heee

It is amazing to me that even Megat has taken to running with the boys. They chase him and then he chases them. I sometimes worry that they might be harassing him but these days, he seems to harass them also. So all in all, everything is fair in sickness and in health :)

Sunday Portfolio for Totoro

My Fed-Up Look

Ohoh..did I furrget somefing?

Finking offur toona...

Looking into the distance...fur toona...

I must say if you want a picture opportunity for a kitty, Toro would be the perfect model as he likes taking pictures when he's relaxed. :) He can give you many poses for a kitty. i think if he was human, he would be a super model.

My Best Pic

Don't you agree?

You smell Megat!

Megat looking FAT right after his sub q...

Sniff...why do you smell of papaya Megat...

Never mind...I love you anyway...

I had to give Megat his sub q today as there would be no time to give him tomorrow. His weekly sub q of 250 ml is something Dr L will not take away. He made a small protest and I had to tell him firmly that there is no way he was going to escape it. I also told him that once a week is better than twice a week if he should miss this one.

Then he showed me his one very white canine several times. That is his signal that he was very unhappy. the only other time he ever showed his canine tooth was to the nurse who made a mess of his veins when we went to get him his vincristine. The result from that day was he had 3 bandages on 3 legs. Eventhough Dr FP had typed that he was a good boy that day, it was still something that I would always remember as one of the most stressful days in our vet visits.

Dr L would not be in the week that we have to go for a review so his next appointment would be on the 17th Nov, a few days after his one month reprieve. He is still happy and cheerful and has started to enjoy playing with cat toys. He also has been very brave and had even chased Bujang away several times. So i guess he thinks he is now the BOSS and that makes him happy. Bujang is still taking it in his stride and we have been giving Bujang alot of attention so he would not feel left out or unimportant :)

Thursday Mystery

Who is hiding behind the curtain waiting for playtime?


....



.....


.....

Its me! Bujang!

He loves hiding behind the curtain to play with the cat dancer or just about anything. He loves hide and seek and of course chewing all the toys to bits...

Hide and Seek

Megat: Who dat..?

Tanaka: ..........

Megat and Tanaka were already all set and ready to go on Monday monring before I went to work. Megat stared at Tanaka for all that he was worth, willing him to get out of the mattres to no avail as Tanaka is very good at the "I-don't-know-what-you-are-looking-at" attitude which he uses to very good effect.

Congrats Max

Max up and about...

We are glad to report that our friend Max is doing well on his sub q and eprex. He is looking thin here being only 1.8kg at present but we are confident that the steps although slowly taken, will get Max to where he needs to be.

Fight on max.

Update on Megat

Whenever I see him sleeping so carelessly like this, it takes my breath away as I think about the anxieties and fears in our 5 month journey together. I still keep feeling his side for fear that the lymphoma is back and I sometimes think I feel a hardness one day but not the next day. I know I could be feeling intestines etc and so I try to keep the fear locked up. I do not want to bring him back to the hospital before his month is up (13 nov) as I do not want him to feel stress as he is happy and feeling well. He has told every one in the house that he is the BOSS and that he feels better. He is drinking water everyday, eating his supplements and yells loudly at meal times.

I will not be going to our blog Journey Into Life until 13 nov where I will post an entry about his update. I hope to write about Megat here mostly :)

Easy Peasy Sunday

Get off the computer san. I need some brushing...
Megat having a nice nap...unitl supplements time...

Kitty at rest...

Megat is slowly but surely taking over the house. He has made a run at Bujang several times and now walks infront of Bujang to dinner - actually way infront of everyone else. He has taken to sleeping on Bujang's favourite mattress all day and every day. After dinner today, he decided he wanted to take part in playing with Da Bird and very enthusiastically jumped at it. Tanaka has learnt to take turns and would wait for his turn quietly...except when it gets too much for him and then he doesn't care and would trample on anyone in his way :)

Cat in the box

Toro: I wonder if I can send him away by post...Speedpost...
Tanaka asking me if he can have the box...

I think not Tanaka. Grandma doesn't like cardboard pieces in the house. You can play in it for abit though :)

A VERY close shave for Fatboy!

Oohh..this is so scary...

A very fat Fatboy relaxing after his release...
3 cans of salmon and tuna at 4.30 pm after my scare...

Faboy was very thirsty and drank quite abit of water...


Fatboy: I do not want to go to the SPCA

san: There is NO WAY you are going there fatboy. I just wish you are not so friendly with everyone!!

Fatboy looking behind before going forward...

It was a close shave for Fatboy this aftrenoon from being sent to the SPCA! I think the telephone tag is proving to be very dangerous for him. Someone brought him home last night and called grandma this morning to ask if she had lost her cat. Of course the amigos were all inside and safe and she said that she had lost lost any.

The person smsed me this afternoon to ask me about the tabby (Fatboy) and I told him that he is a community cat and I am his caregiver. The person then asked me if I wanted to adopt Fatboy (!!!) as he already had one cat. I told him that I had 5 cats and cannot take another one. The person actually said in that case he would have to put him back or send him to the SPCA! What the #$^*^!!

So after calling him twice (and giving him frantic smses), I finally got him and told him to put my cat back and not to send him to the SPCA where he will get killed. He (he sounded very young) laughed and said he would return Fatboy to the void deck. I told him that it was no laughing matter and getting killed is not funny and that I wanted him to return my cat immediately and not to take any more cats from downstairs. He told me he would do so immediately.

I then raced downstairs and shook my keys. It was a great relief that I saw Fatboy running towards me and because I was so relieved he got 3 cans of salmon and tuna. The boy was nowhere to be seen.

So from now, he would get no tag. I think the boy meant well and thought he was genuinely a lost cat and wanted to keep him safe. So tomorrow even Minah and Putih would get no tag. I think we will just keep the collar to tell people that someone is actually looking after the two.

I thank the Great Cat in the sky for his safety and close shave.
