Quiet Days

The boys relaxing in the morning...

Ms Akira came out of her room and explored the house...

We had all the boys in the rooms so she can walk about in peace...

She quite enjoyed herself except for the moment when I had to give her the flaxseed oil. She really hates taking anything at all. I got a new bottle and tasted it. It does not taste like the previous one and it did taste a little nutty. Her belly is as clean and bald as ever and she still licks the non existent hair off it. Now she is taking on the outside of her heels.

Goodnight CNY

The kitties were all tired out with our guests and they kept running in and out when the neighbours' CNY guests came and went. However, the guests were very quiet and walked quietly to visit so eventhough today was CNY, it was very restful. I hope tomorrow would bring the same quiet.

What can a cat do?

Sleep is the only answer on quiet Tuesday afternoon...

I am glad to say that there were no firecrackers last night. Last year, the amigos were quite frightened when firecrackers went off intermittently. We had a very quiet morning on the 2nd day of CNY. This is quite strange as usually we would get children racing along the corridor on CNY days.

All he boys, except Toro are sleeping. Toro is walking all over the house, inspecting it in minute detail. He would sometimes sit at his usual place, come to see me at the computer or sit near the grills to get the breeze:). He is a very busy kitty.

Its too scary

Toro spent the whole afternoon being scared of all the noise from our neighbours CNY guests. The laughter and loud voices were not what the amigos were used to as we live in a quiet floor. The boys spent the day with their ears glued to the door.

Then at about 6, there was a loud crash of cymbals and loud gongs from downstairs. Toro was so scared that he ran all about the house looking for aplace to hide. It was unfortunate that I had locked up tanka in my bedroom as he was eager to help me clear the store room and grandma's room was shut to allow Ms Akira some rest. So he ran all the way to the kitchen and hid behind the dryer. After some time, I had to go rescue him and he scooted out and promptly ran to hide in my bedroom.

By this time, it was time for dinner but none of them (except the intrepid Tanaka and Ms Akira) had the energy to eat. I think they were all rattled from the noise. I had to put Megat in the computer room with his food and he spent the time there in the dark. Bujang ate after some persuasion but Toro refused to eat anything. I was not too anxious as I know he would ask for food when he was hungry (which he did at about 8).

All the boys are now safe in their sleeping quarters and only Ms Akira is out running about the house. I think there might be afew firecrackers tonight but nothing so scary as the cymbals and as they are all in their safe places, I think everyone will be alright :)
