Friend or Foe





Bujang and Minah have a fascination or each other I think. I remembered when Bujang was only 6 months old and Minah met him. She literally swiped him on the head! Grandma and I had actually wanted to adopt Minah so Bujang would have a friend but because she was so fierce, we got Ms Akira instead. She has gotten more mellow these days :)

The Minah Police



This is MY place!

There s no place

like home...:)

Like a goat eating grass!

A few boys came by this evening to watch Bujang.
Boy 1: So big this cat.
Boy 2: Is that grass?
Me: Yes he is eating grass.
Boy 3: Like a goat eating grass.
Boys: Hahahaha
Then they saw mangoes up the mago trees and decided to get some. Bujang just stood by and watched.
They tried many ways to get the mangoes with a lot of glee and discussion.
Boy: I have an idea, listen listen...
Boy 2: Get on....
The unripe mangoes that they finally got after shoe throwing episodes...
Our mango trees planted by the RC. I don't really know what happens to the mangoes themselves. I guess the birds would eat some but the rest?
Bujang lost interest and decided tocontinue with his walk...
He walked along unfamiliar parts of his garden which was nice...
He even made a stop to smell the lilies which have blossomed because of the rain...

Overall I must say it was a good day out. We went out for almost an hour as grandma told me he was yelling the whole afternoon. When he got home, he became quite calm and rested before dinner.

Adventures Outside



It was rather gloomy yesterday and so I thought it was not wise to bring Bujang downstairs for a walk.. However, Bujang followed me about the house, wide-eyed and eager so I had to bring him downstairs and I was quite relieved that it didn't rain although it thundered for quite a bit. As though he knew that he might be rushed upstairs at any minute, he meowed impatiently to be out of the carrier and once out, literally ran to the grass and started munching! He made no attempt to dilly-dally unlike other days. We also had a visitor yesterday.
I am amazed that this kitty did not fall off his ledge!
Close-up of Curious Kitty...

Curius Kitty used to live with several other cats. I am afraid I did not see the others at the window and I am afraid that the family had given up on their other cats. I do not know this for sure but there used to be a tux and a calico cat that always stared at us on our walks. I do not know what the family had done to their pet cats or what had happened. I only know that the auntie told me they had a pregnant cat and had asked the auntie if she wanted to adopt one of the would-be kittens However they also told her that they would put up their kitties for adoption. But I do not know if this actually happened.

This is one of the new kitties who used to hang out at Putih's block. He came to visit and was very noisy as he was hungry. He was not sterilised yet and I think he was newly abandoned as he was thin. This was the culprit who had made all that noise that someone had complained to the auntie about 'her' cat! He ate quite a lot of kibble. Poor Kitty! He allowed me to give him the food and came when he actaully saw the kibble but I did not make an attempt to pet him as he was not familiar with me. I guess now he would make up a part of the Wild Bunch.

Tiring Tuesday

is not so bad with a friend...

Ms Akira Speaks

Contrary to what san has been saying about me, I am as playful as any kitty in this here haus!
This is me playing wif san. She was furry sissy and couldn't take my formidable claws so she tried to run!
But I saw her feet from the holes in the rattan chair..whahahaha....
I then decided to take pity on her as she was telling me to stop. I am the champion here!

Grandma and the boys

There is always competition between Bujang and Toro as to which one would get to sit nearest to grandma
Toro always get to sit nearest as Bujang always gives way even if he was there first...
Totoro is very spoiled because he knows grandma is quite taken by his good looks :)

PS Grandma i shy and does not want her face on blogger :)

Oh Dear Megat!

I only cough sometimes....some of the time...really...

Megat's prolonged asthmatic coughs have not abated as he had already coughed 3 times in 1.5 months. These were the long prolonged coughs that only asthmatic cats have. I had witnessed this twice and grandma once. We had already removed the wool rugs but I noticed that the two times that he had coughed, he was near the litter. So possibly the dust from the clumping litter is a source of his discomfort. We have begun vacumming the area more often from March but we will have to vacuum the areas more often, like every day it seems. We will see if this would decrease the coughs - that is for the remaining days of April until May, he should be more comfortable.

His diet remains the same as before he started coughing - his special diet kibble Walthams Renal, some tinned food which he lves and which I want to be able to give him and he sometimes eats the boys kibble too (which is not Walthams). I do not think I should give the boys the Walthams Renal although they all prefer this. But this would indeed cut down on the different tyoes of kibble that he gets to eat.

As I am at work, I usually put out kibble for them so they can eat what they want throughout the day. This has worked quite well as grandma would not have to entertain each and every cat at their own time.

Is there anyone with an asthmatic cat who can help us in figuring out source of irritants?

A New Sunday

Will I get o walk this morning?

Sunday Morning Walk

Eating juicy green grass as usual...
Bujang was always curious about the drains and so he finally got to get into one...
He was rolling about until he heard something...
What is it? What is it?
It made his a little nervous and he quickly got back into his carrier...
