Goodnight Sunday

We'll say goodnight then y'all

Just Because

"He is 7.49kg

of muscle and no fat," the vet Dr T said. Thank goodness for that!

I brought Bujang for his FIV/FeLV test this afternoon and he tested negative. But as we live with an FIV+ cat, it makes sense for the kitties to be vaccinated against FIV so he was the first one vaccinated. I brought only Bujang to the vet as I thought he would be rather difficult to deal with as he is always very frightened and becomes angry. But this afternoon he was rather mellow and his growls were not as threatening as before. This was agood thing and so the vet did the test very quickly. He took Bujang's blood gently and with soft words :) Of course there were two other nurses who helped him but it was not very stressful for Bujang.

Then he got his mani/pedi (WOW!!!) without bloodifying the assistants and he was also microchipped. I thought it best to get everything done when he was still so mellow and calm:)

I think if indeed he ever gets lost and someone brings him to the vet to check for FIV, they would also check for the microchip and so it seems to be the best solution for now. The 2 boys would get their shots later next week.

When a little cat sleeps

things seem so much better...TGIF...

Bujang in action

This evening Bujang went for a walk. He walked here for a little while then he bolted. I idn't quite know what happened but I kept up with him. Then when he was in his old territory, I examined his fur and saw a big red ant. OUCH! Thank goodness there was that one only. he must have had a great shock after this walk!

Tuesday Laze-about

Time to bed I think...but not before our nightly cuddle :)

Monday Moods

I am in no mood for Monday! Its still too hot.

Tests!

Megat: san spent some time worrying about what will happen to my brothers after our fight. This happened a few weeks ago when san found that I had pus at my side. She brought me to the vet and the vet said there were 2 puncture wounds at my side, one healed and the other not. The reason she worried was because I am an FIV + kitty and she knew this when she adopted me 5 years ago when I was 10. She did not think that any one of us would get into a big fight and as I only had 1 canine, I could not possibly inflict a great deal of harm on my brothers. But she of course did not think that one of my brothers would bite me and so the posisbilty of one of them having FIV is very big on the horizon. So she finally decided to test every one of them.
This was what happened. This was the site of the bite. But now I am very well and the bite has healed marvellously too.

Toro had the first test yesterday as he also had to get his blood review done. The vet said that his cretinine level is 2.5 and his BUN is 29. But as we were told the tests would show these indicators as he has renal problems. More to the point his FIV/FeLV test is negative. Since the vet did not have the required vaccination for FIV, I would bring him again this week for his shots. I suspected it could not be Toro as he would rather run than fight although he is known for putting Bujang in a headlock many times:)
Tanaka: san said I would go to the vet's this week wif my bruffer Bujang. san said that it was more likey Bujang was the culprit (that means the one who did it..uhem..) I like my bruffer Megat and we are friends. I told san that I do not need shots but she very seriously told me not to be afraid as all of my bruffers except Megat would need to be tested.

I asked san what if Bujang is difficult? She told me the vet has many assistants and they would help him out. san said we if we are FIV/FeLV negative, we still need the FIV vaccination which needs a booster in a month and then it would be an annual one. san still has to discuss with our vet about the annual vaccination part. san also read about the fact that there might be confusion once we are given our FIV vaccination as we might later test positive. People may think we have the virus and not just vaccinated against getting the virus. If one of us gets lost and we are tested for FIV, dire fings can happen! I do not want this to happen to any offur us. But then we are all micro-chipped except for Bujang and he WILL be microchipped by the end of the week.She says she has to think quite alot about this eventhough she has told the vet that she would vaccinate all offur us.

I went to the Best Friends website and it says
5. The virus can be spread through blood transfusions, badly infected gums, or serious, penetrating bite wounds. (Bite wounds of this kind are extremely rare, except in free-roaming, unneutered tomcats.)

I do not think the wound that Megat had was a 'serious penetrating bite wound,' though but I since I would need to test Bujang, I decided to test all the boys. Ms Akira would not be involved as she was not in the fray and she is separated from the boys (except Bujang) at all times. However, by the end of this week, we would know our test results.

TGIF

Today I stood guard. I told san that as long as I am around, no one would dare come disturb us...especially noisy and frightening kids coming home from school...

Then I examined some strange things around my neighborhood. san told me this bicycle was going nowhere. I told her that I was more interested in the green string but san didn't allow me to play with it. "DANGEROUS!" she said.

Then we saw this strange wheelbarrow. It has a white shovel in it and a little clay pot. We stayed for a while here but we couldn't think of anything so...

I broughted san to my favourite place...I like sitting here watching the neighbourhood....

By 7 at dark time, we went home and I had some rest. I was very tired but I was glad we went for a walk..! Oh yeah...

Thursday Watch

...first we wait quietly and then we pounce on her....and then if we can we will.....
