CNY cheer and all a good night

After I fed my cats 1/2 a can of Tuna and smoked fish, I thought I should go see whether the cats downstairs were safe from CNY cheer like fireworks, too enthusiastic children and litter. I am glad to say that all was well except they were looking very hungry - their voices were very loud and complaining. :( I think the 'cat lady' was busy with her own CNY cheer so I went up again and got some catfood - wet as well as dry, and gave them some. They were very chatty as they ate and actually head- butted me some. So we sat and chatted and they ate quietly instead of looking right and left as though afraid someone would hurt them. I fed the calico, the tiger tabby (who is bigger than Bujang!) and a black cat. We sat for a bit to take in the night air and later I cleared up the place and threw the paper plates and said goodbye. They meowed a little and proceeded to clean themselves up. I guess everyone was quite full and would stay put and be safe for the night. When I came home, my two cats greeted me at the door and followed me to the bath. I wore my new red pjs (as its CNY) and they both stared at me in shock. Too dressy I guess. :))

A Bird in hand err..paw is better than 1000 oranges

Yup. I decided to listen to Bujang and took out his fav toy - Da Bird. He immediately went into predator mode. This is an amazing toy. It looks so much like a bird in the air and the wand is pliable. Many people tell me their cats refuse to play and they just leave their indoor cats alone. My cats lie in wait for me to come home and would lead me to the toy cupoboard where they will wait expectantly. I think they have trained me very well - the rascals. :)

Its the Year of the Dog

Chinese New Year is here again. 2 oranges for good luck and good health. It's a pity my cats don't like oranges. They only sniffed at them and looked at me as though asking "Arrree you an idiot?" but only in a good way. But they stayed close to me and would glance at the oranges sometimes but I know of course they would never eat them , nor would I allow them to eat oranges. :) It is only as a matter of form.

I tried to look for calico community cat today but didn't see her. I thought her feeder may have CNY and would have no time to feed her. She is very affectionate - the cat I mean, not the feeder. The feeder had asked me if I wanted to bring the calico up but I already have 2 cats and they may not like it. Anyway this calico sometimes would not eat but prefers chatting and being scratched under her chin. :)

Saturday naps

Today my 2 cats are perfect angels. They have not been rampaging and tearing my house apart. Each asleep in their own private corners. Akira in the cubby hole in the computer room, sometimes up on the top of my bookcase and sometimes on my lap and up to my chest as I am at the computer. The lengths some cats go to for a good snooze is amazing. Bujang is peacefully napping on the cat sofa, in his snuggies and just sprawling in the middle of the living room floor. I think it's just saturday cat naps. I have bought them some new stuff to eat , not the nutro complete care kibble but something totally different. Bujang took one sniff at it and he went back to sleep. Akira..well..she is not as finicky and has eaten a few pieces of it. But I guess she is also not as enthusiastic. Well the more slim they will get then.

Time for walkies

When it's time for walkies, we cats will be first in. It's taking a long time for san to find our jackets. Maybe we should just snooze for a bit. If only I can find some space in this joint. Akira is getting fatter than I am..hmmm....

Got it!

What is that they say about a bird in hand?

 

The sinking feeling

Bujang in his favourite washbasin - king of his castle. :) 

Reigning Cats

Today I saw a documentary- Reigning Cats in San Francisco. It was quite an eye opener on show cats - with and without pedigree. Beautiful cats with perfect coats in pretty cages- sleeping, playing, preening. Just being cats. It was a wonderful sight to see.

Another Cat!!!

Are you kidding me? Can you afford all of us? another Cat? Look into my eyesszzzzz...there can be only 2..only 2 ....zzzzz 

The Singapore Sale

This evening I went to the pet store to buy cat food as usual. My cats now eat Tika. I try to buy sardines instead of tuna. Its from Thailand and I hope it's good for them. The terrible two refuse to eat anything else. But at least they are still eating dry Nutro Complete Care so it's quite a balanced diet. As balanced as I can make it that is. Ahh what I wanted to say is that I saw the adjoining store selling a really beautiful silver British shorthaired cat. It was sitting all alone in that big glass cage watched by a very enthusiastic family who was eager to buy it. The card on the cage said - SALE - $980.00. I do not know what surprised me most - that the little cat should cost so much or that you can buy animals on sale. The family already had a very beautiful persian cat and they wanted to get a companion for it. When I left the store, the family was still bargaining for a more appropriate price. I know the shorthair would have a lovely home though.

One of the assistants at the store asked me if I wanted another cat. I said if I wanted one, it would be a good-looking siamese cat with well-defined points. She said she could get one for me as there were many strays around her friend's flat . I wonder if 3 cats in a flat would be too many. I'm sure Bujang and Akira-the-Hun would have something to say about that. :)

Hmm...it looks safe enough!

Another picture of the stroller ensemble without the base. My cats inspected the carrier for minute defects, bit all parts of the metal frame, scratched the canvas and also jumped over it. I'm glad it passed the rigorous inspection.
