Easy Peasy Sunday

Our week was not as calm as we wanted. Putih and Tanaka had a few short spats and bouts of growling at each other. I decided to allow Putih more time to mingle and she discovered that my bedroom was a good place to settle in the afternoons. She slept on the bed for the whole afternoon on Thursday and decided she liked it. Ever since then she had been trying to get on the bed again much to Tanaka's disgust. They had growled at each other several times but that was it. They both had several timeouts as well. Akira has yet to come out of her room in the afternoons. She told Fern that it was a 'safe' place. I am afraid that she is using it to hide from Putih as well eventhough Putih had not chased her again after the last time.  I do not wish to add any more stress on her as her over grooming had also resulted in bald hind paws.  Bujang has been the only calm and steady influence on the cats and I suspect on the human beans as well although I noticed that Putih had been growling at him more. Characteristically, Bujang was not much bothered eventhough she had growled at him when he was at the litter bin. He just looked at her and continued with his business until I told her to stop. She stopped immediately and ran off to sit on the washing machine which has become her new favourite place. 

I thought the most exciting thing to have happened in our quiet lives was that yesterday I decided on a whim, after Bujang's walk, to bring Tanaka downstairs. The last time he was downstairs was when he was 4 and he did not like it. Yesterday, he sat in the carrier for 10 minutes just looking at the outside and listening to the outside noises. Then he decided to step outside and did not look back. He walked about at the void deck, looking and enjoying the new space. The different textures of the floor surprised him, especially the metal grates on top of the drains. But at no point did he step out onto the grass. Nevertheless I thought he had a good time walking and we would be walking more downstairs as it would allow him much more freedom to explore new things. He had a 20-minute walk and then he decided to sit in the carrier. I decided that for the first time, 20 minutes was more than enough and brought him home. At home he spent some time grooming possibly to calm himself down as well. 

TGIF

Today is a good day not only because it's TGIF but because I am better. I have no fever, I ate all of my food and I also sat wif san. I also went for a walk and this is my selfie in front offur my house. I smelled some orchids as well. 

I was glad I can do all offur these fings again. 

       Then I had a nap wif san as usual. I was glad I didn't need to go to the vet at all. 

Saturday Easy

I spent the morning walking on the grass. I did not go down for four days as san was not home. I spent about 45 minutes walking and of course just sitting in my carrier when someone walked past. I told san that the red jacket did not fit me very well and so this morning I had on my new green one. San thinks I look better in red and red is my favourite colour in many things but as long as I get to walk, it's not a problem. 

Here I am sitting outside offur my house wif san.  We were just hanging around on Saturday. I behaved furry well when san was not home but then I am an independent and brave kitty :) My sisfur did not want to go walking but maybe later she would ask to get out. I hope it would be later rather than sooner though.  Now san is home, we know things will go on like always- I like that. 

San thinks we should share this space with a little _cutie pie_ from Mersing. I do NOT think anyone is cutie than I am but I thought we should do as san says (for now anyway). She said she might post a few more offur these cats pics later as well. 

At least this cat had the right idea. Who goes on vacation and do work? Just fur that I fink she deserves to share my space. This cat does not belong to the owner offur the property. She is a 'pendatang haram' or a stray cat who came to stay. She is a little unwell and will be going to the vet as soon as possible. There is no vet practice in Mersing so the owner has to bring this cat all the way to Johor Bahru. That is about 1.5 hours away. This kitty has a respiratory problem. San wonders if she can bring anything for this kitty that does not require a vet prescription or going to the vet as there are 9 cats here and the person who owns the prosperity does not have the money to send all of them to the vet.  She has 4 offur her own fur kids but she tries to look out fur others as well ( only 2 kitties are sneezing although more than 2 has eye infections)

San says she is her favourite kitty here(!!). I am glad san did not bring her home. There is room fur only 1 cutie pie in this house.

Tanaka Thursday

 I am always interested in effurything 

 This is a new fing here. I wonder what this is. It smells furry exciting...

No insects? How am I going to do my job san?

Wednesday Quiet

A quiet walk in the afternoon

a quiet sleep after...

I helped my furmily last night. I chased a nasty (san finks) black cockroach outta our house. I chased him all around the living room and then he ran out. san was furry happy and gave me two friskies treats. Then I saw him again enter our house. THAT was not good. I am the protector of my house and so I chased him but san put him under a glass. It was like watching a movie. I watched him fur many minutes , then cousin r brought him outside. Hmmm...I could do with some more entertainment though. So today I am a little tired.

Tanaka on Friday

san says she will try to blog effuryday about my gud self as it will be my Gotcha Day on Saturday since its Deepavalli but my actual one will be on the 18th! I agree wif my friends at The Poupounette that 2 bifdays are better than 1.

Yesterday san broughted me out to walk in the afternoon. But I didn't like it too much so I stayed close to my house.

 I was a little nervous and looked at the lift a lot offur times. It kept opening but no one was inside. 

 My bruffer Bujang was very relaxed as you can see in this pikshur. He likes going out.

Is it time to go out again san?

Tanaka Tuesday Outdoors

This was grandma's plants. They were neat and tidy...

I decided to supervise the plants and sniffed at them to tell them I was furry serious about my supervising job. The plants just stood there!

So I decided to go downstairs. It was at first furry scary but I decided to do it anyway!

I was surprised to find all the plants very well-behaved...even downstairs...

Then I thought I should see what the secret was. I am sorry to say there was nuffing. the plants were not talking at all.

This afternoon san came home furry early from work and decided to take me out fur a walk. We had not gone walking fur a furry long time but when san called me, I went to her immediately and then I wore my harness. I know when this happens, we would go out and we did. I had a short time outside but I truly enjoyed supervising the plants!

Tanaka and the Outside

san brought me down early this week but I did not like it...it was furry scary...

But I thought I should at least try to see if I can make it outside. I tried putting one leg out...

san was furry excited when she saw me putting both my forelegs out. She said' "Good boy Tanaka!"

But I decided it was too much so one leg in...

Both legs in!

Then I heard some scary sounds and decided to tuck myself inside my carrier. san then closed the door and we stayed here for a little while with me looking out from inside. san said it would take some time for me to get used to the noise and the OUTSIDE. I think so but or this week, I told san, enough already.

You've been snoopervised!

Tanaka likes snooping at the neighbour's little garden. I guess the plants are so much bigger than ours...
There are interesting crannies and underground stuff to sniff at...

And what about this big round thing? What is this about?

I also think he's a gardener at heart :)

I dun believe it!

What's that behind san in my house? Huh?

What's that? Its the white kitty - the one who screams at me all the time....ooaaahhh...

Tanaka was very surprised to see Ms Akira watching him from behind the grills. I had to shut the grills as Ms Akira was sitting just inside the grills and she was taking in the cool morning air. I had allowed Tanaka out as I thought he would enjoy the corridor while I watered the plants :)
