Sunday in the park

This morning we went out early as it would get too hot even before 10 am. We had not gone out for two weeks as the Hungry Ghost month meant that there was a lot of smoke and ashes in the air and this would not be good for anyone, much less Bujang. This morning however, there was not even a trace of candles or offerings along the street. It was as though everything was taken away by the wandering ghosts to bring back home. The park itself was rather bare as the weather had been very unforgiving but we saw the usual people and the kitties had a good time people watching.

The Usual Suspects

For today I thought we should formally introduce ourselves again as we have been away from blogging for many months. san said from April and now its the last day of August. Today is also our new year (for the muslim calendar) but we're cats so we don't really make a fuss about what humans do. I have not been well for a whole year and had been having some troubles with my respiratory system. Antibiotics did not work and only my osteopath Dr L  was able to help me but that would only be for a short while. san's friends on FB read about my plight and came to help me with a nebuliser and sodium chloride. It helped to clear my nose and I could sleep better. But I told Fern that the steam was 'annoying' me so I told san that. I will try to sit quietly as san said it would be easier on me but I do not promise.

 I am going to be 13 this year and am feeling ok. I don't have much trouble except san has been trying to get me to eat more. I am 4.2 kg and the vet said I am ok but san wants me to be fatter. It seems everyone is bigger than I am even Rez. Rez is like a giant of the house. I just have to have subQ once a week but that is no biggie and I know how to relax once the needle is in. Yesterday I had some trouble with my sister Popps and she was not happy when I tried to sniff her. I told Fern its because she 'smells nice' like san. But now I know better than to sniff at such a bad -tempered sister.

I am no longer wearing my cone which makes me happier and now I also sleep outside of my cage. I am less nervous and can walk about at night. san opens my cage door so I can make my own decisions as to where I want to sleep. I am feeling much better except for the small problem of my heart murmur. But I am seeing a cardiologist so san says we will be ok. 

 I just need more 'space' and don't like male cats sniffing at me. That is such rude behaviour and I will always tell them so. Who says they can sniff at me as and when they like? Phffffbt!

I am now part of the family and have learnt to behave myself much better. san bought me a nice gym that I race up and down on but I only use it when no one is looking. I tried to tell san that I was just curious as to why Popps was always yelling at me and why she was angry. That  was why I came near her but she didn't want to talk to me or anything. She is so bad-tempered!

Thursday with Bujang

We are here after a long time. We apologise (again) for our tardiness here. san bought us a new sleep pod in red as she knows its my favourite colour. But only the boys use this pod. I dont know why the girls don't like it but more time for us....YAY

Just Because

Finally I am here in the blog. I have been very well and have grown some new fur, much to the delight of the humans in the house. But san says its still much too slow and she asked me to take it slow with the pulling of fur. I told her I will think about it. 

We wish you wealth and prosperity this Chinese New Year

san decided that we should all wear our chinese new year finery this year. We wish everybody good cheer and good luck, especially good health to one and all. Yes she took some time coming up with our card and we were all pleased as we didn't have to pose for new photos.

Megat Remembered

I had spam in my email and was directed to my kitty Megat. He was a trooper.

Just Because

This is my first appearance for 2019. 

Just Because

This is my firs hello for 2019...

I will be 15 this year and I have slowed down a bit. However I am very well and the vet decided that I did not need my twice weekly SubQ until after Chinese New Year when san brings the rest of us to the vet. My end of year health check was done last December before my vet and san went on holiday. The vet was pleased with my health and my kidneys. I am not out of the woods yet but my readings indicated 'normal'. Hurrah!

All the vet staff wished me well and told me that they didn't want me at the vet at all and so I have to drink more water. I will try.

CODY at home....finally

The picture his mum saw at FB that got him his own home 3.5 years ago

Cody looking at us from a safe distance

 He came to sniff at us some of the time.

 His mum tried to get him to sit with us as we were his previous caregivers when he was a commcat, but we knew knew everyone should take it slow as he might not want to remember his life then as well. he stayed here for a bit.

 And was up here, looking at us from a safe distance. We didn't want to make a fuss and even when he was a commcat, he was an alpha and didnt like fussing as well.

He finally decided we were ok and sat with us for a few minutes.

The last week of December has not been kind to Cody (who was adopted by Constance 3.5 years ago). His mum found him early one morning, about 4 ish am, unable to walk. Horrified she brought down his carrier and he immediately crawled into it without being carried inside. She knew right then that he was in a serious state and brought him to the specialist vets. After investigations, they found blood clots in his kidneys and veins. He was given a thinner and the next day fortunately the clots resolved itself but he was hospitalised for the week. They found an enlarged heart. He was not eating much. 

His blood tests showed that his kidneys were fine and there was nothing else that was wrong so his mum brought him home with medication, a blood thinner and diuretics. His mum is still waiting for his sonagram to bring him for a second opinion. 

He has now begun eating again, now that he has been home for about 2 weeks and is re-learning how to interact with his fursister Halley and his human brother. 

We visited him at his home yesterday and he looked very well, albeit thinner. He used to have muscles and now we could feel his bones much more clearly. His mum is trying to fatten him up again.  He looked really well and was walking about the house. He also showed us that he could eat a lot more as he had his 2nd dinner when we were there. Although his doctors could not tell us how long he will stay with us, with his heart problems, both human and cats are just taking it slow. 

JIAYOU CODY!!

Saturday Sleeps

 Rez must have been really tired

zzzzzzz

I was quite surprised to see Rez sleeping so soundly. he didn't even blink an eye when I took this picture. He would usually open one eye to make sure that I was not doing anything fishy like making him take his meds. He even snored...poor thing. Must have been really tired trying to stalk Tanaka and was stalked instead by Akira.

Last post for 2018

Rezki forgot he was supposed to be grooming when he saw some birds on tv

This is Rezki's 2nd year with us as part of the amigos. We missed his Gotcha day on 25 Dec but he doesn't mind. He has grown much in terms of size as well as personality. He is calmer and much more able to listen to tone of voice. He has decided that if the others don't want to play, then he's ok with just hanging out with people. He's healthy and loves to eat. I wish him a very long life with many blessings.

Our wish for 2019 is simple.  Blessings for everyone and very cat
