Cats in the shadows

Big Casanova's 2nd round at dinner...

FatBoy still eating...

Cal eating in the safety of the drain...

Minah telling me she has had enough thank you..

In the night drizzle, all the cats were hungry. Big Casanova came to dinner and stayed for seconds. Someone came by with a chuhuahua terrier, unleashed, Big Casanova got afraid and he ran off without finishing his dinner. This meant that I had to stay around longer to see if he was still hungry or he has had enough. At this point, I saw Cal who saw Big C and so she ran off! Aiyah! I had been ringing my keys for her for 15 minutes.

So I decided to ring again and then I saw her streaking towards the drain where she stayed for the remainder of the time. I decided to give her her dinner under the drain covers. This was a good move as she stayed to eat all of her salmon dinner. She has not come to dinner for 2 whole days. I was getting very worried about her and was contemplating calling ST, our PR contact with the TC. She looked very well nevertheless and I know even if she doe not turn up tomorrow, she has had a very good dinner tonight.

FatBoy of course stayed with me and was also on the lookout for Cal :) He missed her streaking past him as he was busy burying his nose in sardines :)

Kill the puter

What's that...

Its this puter again...have puter, no Da Bird...

Smells strange!

I'll just bite it to death!


Toro was quite mesmerised by the laptop that I was using to work and blog. He jumped up the table and started biting it, sniffing it, sniffing it and biting it :) No Mercy is the way to go.

I want to adopt her but...

Putih getting out of the rain

... I have a tortoise in the house. Huh? I guess a cat can endanger a tortoise especially it overturns the poor thing on its back. A woman I met yesterday walked up to me when I was feeding Putih. She said that Putih is much-loved by everyone around the area. I was very glad to hear this. She said she feeds Putih at night about 11 pm when she has the late shift. I am even more glad to hear this as I think the aunty is not feeding the wildbunch anymore. They are forever so hungry these days and they eat a lot more. She also told me she likes Putih a lot and had been thinking of adopting her except she has a tortoise and her mother does not like cats. I tried to tell her that Putih would make a perfect house cat as she is obedient and well-behaved and as immaculate toilet habits :) I hope the lady adopts her so she would be so much safer at home.

FatBoy waiting for the no-show Cal...

Cal is still a no-show today. I can understand if she didn't appear yesterday as Big Casanova was about but he was not about today. FatBoy and I waited for her for 30 minutes but she still did not appear. I hope she is okay.

The cat's pajamas

Yes I am :)

I know that already :)

That's why I get more scritches than anyone else :)

Drama on Saturday

Minah eating kibble...

This Saturday I was supposed to go for a facial but I saw some kids with a seemingly sick puppy at the petstore at PL. It seems they had fed the puppy but she was still not looking well. They put the puppy on a table and it looked lethargic so I asked them if they needed help. At first they were very suspicious of me. One of them said "We don't know you". I thought that was very wise but I said if they needed help then the petstore people know me and the groomer knows me and the vet knows me too ;) It was a good thing that another kid walked in and he recognised me and so I managed to help them.

Since we had to wait for the vet to open, we had some breakfast so they could calm down and then of course the puppy threw up. After we cleaned him, we got him to the vet. The vet at ARC was very kind and charged us fees for a stray as the kids did not have money to pay for anything. The vet then gave the kids some starter puppy food as the kids had been feeding the puppy with adult dog food! It seemed the petstore people also sold the kids some adult dog food!I guess this was because the 1 month old puppy was very big for its age and so they might have given the kids the wrong food too. The vet gave the puppy a check-up and told them that the puppy was healthy and only had a very slight runny nose. We got some correct puppy food and then we got some food ourselves :)

We had some pasta for lunch at Eighteen Cafe. It seemed the chef worked with Jamie Oliver!Wah. They have a student/nurse meal at 5.90 complete with ice-cream and ice lemon tea. The kids all had the pasta and they all enjoyed the chocolate ice-cream. I then put them in a cab and told them not to worry about anything.

So in the end I didn't get a facial but it seems now I am the godmother for a puppy called Macky :) I should have taken a pic but of cos my hp battery was running low and having the kids call me to tell me that they are safely home seemed a better option than using up the batteries on picture taking.

She is a very cute puppy nevertheless but the vet said she would grow up to be rather big! I hope the kids are prepared for this and the neighbours would be forgiving too :)

Minah and FatBoy

The Pear...

"Cats sit fat and walk thin..."
or so the poem says but FatBoy just walks fat and sits even fatter :)

Goodnight all

Zzzz...

Grandma decided that her sewing machine was taking too much space in her room. So she decided to put it in the computer room much to Bujang's delight. Here he is doing what a cat does best :)

YAWNNN....

Ms Akira up on the top of the cupboard in the computer room...

and just as quickly, Ms Akira taking a nap...

The lights hurt my eyes ...ouch!

Waiting

We are waiting for you san...

The amigos always wait for me at the door when I get home from feeding the WildBunch. Here they are in their usual spots. Ms akira would be busy sniffing at everything, Bujang would wait for me patiently on grandma's mahjong table, Megat would be too afraid to be out in the open so he waits under the table and Toro would run to watch the goings-on outside before I close the door for the night. I am glad its just another night in the amigo house although I know how precious such nights are for all of us :)

Who came to dinner tonight?

Minah

Putih

MC, FatBoy and Cal

...the usual suspects ;)

Missing sometime member - Big Casanova.

Putih's mystery feeders are at it again. I saw 2 discarded foils of Whiskas, spilled fish on the grass and 1/2 a tin of water placed carelessly at her void deck! I am afraid one of these days, someone might complain about these things. I wish the kids who feed her (according to my cousin, there are 2 kids who feed her) have more sense! I have yet to meet them though. I think they feed Putih when they get home from school.

Reflection

Ms Akira pre-Megat

Megat now...

Megat before

The death of KK has made me more reflective I guess of my role as someone who has cats. I was thinking about Megat this morning. He refused to come out into the living room for his morning treat, preferring to stay in the safety of the bedroom. The reason was Ms Akira was prowling outside and she took a peek into the bedroom and saw him. I saw her swishing her tail quickly from side to side - a sure sign that she would gladly pounce on him if she could.

Ms Akira's reaction to Megat is surprising to me. I know she is a female worth her salt and she doesn't suffer fools gladly but she is really going out of her way to bully Megat. I could only surmise that she hates him truly as he used to bully her or she turns on him as he is the only one she feels she could bully as Toro sometimes tries to bully her also. She does beat Toro and swats his nose every time she finds a chance but as he is bigger than she is, she does not do this often. Toro, bless his clever self, sometimes gives way to the Little Ms so she is not so angry at him.

The Feliway is working well for the boys but not for Ms Akira. This morning I saw Bujang sitting on the bed (if only for a few minutes) when Megat was on it - a little way away but at least they were occupying the same space. I saw Bujang sitting very straight and looking down at Megat before he walked deliberately and sat down one feet away, on all fours - quite relaxed. Megat was quite relaxed too. Toro and Bujang are not after each other for long the last 2 nights. They do it once or twice and then both would settle down.

I wonder what I could do for Ms Akira's stormy relationship with Megat.
