Wednesday Notes

These days I am much more confident and can sit (for short minutes) with my brother. BUT I must always keep an eye on him. If not he will try to chase me. 

Here we were last night. san was watching Masterchef and did not realise I had come into the living room from the kitchen. I sat here looking at my brother and he sat where he was looking at me. But he was relaxed and so was I.

See? When I began to get up to stretch and I was not looking at him, he would become more tense and would attempt to give chase. san had to remind him to sit quietly, which he did.

"LEAVE ME IN PEACE Tanaka!"

Vesak Day at home

On Vesak Day, which is today, I went out to make sure all the plants were ok.  It's impawtant to take care offur Nature as well.      

                

                 San's plants are ok. I told san they just needed some water. 

             

                          They seemed healthy and there were no bugs. 

I went walking and it was very pretty with the sunpuddles. I told san we are lucky to be together. 

      On Vesak Day I just sat with san. We had a quiet time. I told san I need some quiet time with her everyday. san and I are both glad we have these times together.

Happy Mother's Day

                     We want to wish all mommies, a happy Mother's Day today. 

                

I took this picture with san yesterday. I would usually sit with san when she sits in the computer room. But for a few months I did not do this at all as I wanted to be outside. Yesterday san took me to Adrian, my osteopath and when we got back she put me in the computer room to rest. She then came in to listen to some videos and so we sat together after many months. It was my Mother's Day gift to san. I hope she liked it. Adrian said I only have a little blocked ear and I am fine. He adjusted only one vertebra and I am only going back in September. 

   Sunday is for more naps. I know I am safe and sound with my bruffer and sisfur and grandma and san. Happy Mother's Day effuryone. 

We should all be kind to our moms today. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers, especially our mother san and san's mother grandma. When I am meowing loudly win the afternoon, the human beans in my house tell me that when my mother, san , gets home, everything will be better. It is true as when she gets home she talks to me and plays me my lullaby at night with my name in it. So I think all mothers are special. 

      Ok san. I have said all that you think I should for mothers. Do I get my breakfast now?

TGIF

I'm looking foward to a day outside

 I want to have a longer time walking today

A snoopervisor's work is never done!

Thursday Notes

I hope you don't fink I am always naughty and need counselling. I am also a great snoopervisor and do my duty by making sure that effuryfing is ok in my neighbourhood. I am a protector and I fink I do my job well.

 Here I was making sure that effuryfing is fine and that there were no mossies about.

I always look up when I am walking. san usually tells me to be careful but I fink looking up is always better. You don't know what might fall on you on your walks!

san said it was ok fur me to get up these stairs as the stains were only coffee stains. But I still fink human beans should take better care offur their homes inside and outside.

Usually after a walk, I have to take a good rest and I like sleeping on san's bed as no one else sits here - but ME in the afternoon. I get a good rest until san comes home from work and we would go out fur  a walk or sometimes play or san reads to me or we listen to the radio. There are many fings to do so I need a lot offur rest before and after.

Wednesday Chat

Hmmm...too much work for me

I had asked Craig in early March this year, to help with Bujang's anxieties as he was vocalising more and more at night and very loudly as well. After Craig had helped me with Tanaka and Akira, I thought I should not leave Bujang alone as he had already asked Fern why 'he was not mommy's favourite anymore." This was when I thought he was much too obsessed with the iPAD cat games and did not allow him so much time on the iPAD :). Now of course he has graduated, with my help (?) to Nat Geo Nature documentaries, which he did not like as much as kitty TV.

Craig: What a real gentleman he is. He is very wise and gentle as you have said and it was wonderful working with him.

It appears that Bujang has anxiety at the moment which is causing him to be nervous. This anxiety is felt quite strongly in his solar plexus which is where you would expect anxiety to be felt. Looking at the cause he feels it may be a sensitivity to an ingredient in his food. Also, it may be worth checking his blood pressure. I am not a vet so am not diagnosing anything but would suggest maybe mentioning this to a vet the next time you see one.

The anxiety is being affected by some of the tension between Tanaka and Akira. Bujang is extremely sensitive to his environment and any emotions or tensions will be picked up by him even more so than the other two cats. He said that he has spoken to both Tanaka and Akira and will keep doing so after I explained what has been happening the last few days and also about the treatments. I also reiterated what I said to Tanaka and Akira that you love them all equally very much and that you hope that they will be able to get on. Bujang will definitely be able to help with this although the anxiety needs to be worked on first.

san: I am now giving him Freeze Dried Raw food which I need to get online. He had some digestive problems from when he was a kitten. I give him some probiotics as well.

The last time he spoke with Craig Bujang had this to say:

Bujang is a very sweet and kind gentleman and is a pleasure to work with. Before I started the treatment I connected with him and asked if there was anything that was bothering him or wanted me to know before the treatment. He did mention that if it is possible could he spend a little longer outside. I said I would pass this message on to you.

So now he gets  longer walks :))

Tanaka Tuesday

Figuring out sunpuddle patterns 

san says this week she would post some offur our thots here and we would get one entry each or maybe she may do this fur a whole week as we talk a lot. I can't help it if we have many fings to say. However, most of what we have to say will be about our own learning about ourselves. 

san wants me to say that if you are a new reader to our blog (err...we know we do not have many but its polite to explain), we have 2 Reiki healers who help us and we have 3 people who talk to us as well. Furst, we have Laura Stinchfield who was the furst one to talk to us 2 years ago and san had blogged about her already. She was the furst one who discovered that my sisfur Akira may have some trouble with her spine. Then we have our friend Fern, who speaks with us every week and who gives us Reiki. We had also spoken to Craig MacLennon and he had helped my sisfur, myself and san to work out our troubles. san says because of Craig, she was able to work out that it could be her own fear that may contribute to our problems as well and she is also learning to let go of hur fear that we would fight. Now offur cos we are better together although san still allows us separate times outside.

What you are going to read about now is my conversation wif Craig about why I do not allow my sisfur Akira to be outside. But now I am better at this and I fink I need to learn many fings about how to be a family.

"I connected quickly and the communication flowed easily. He was a joy to speak to and has such a beautiful vitality to him. I started by asking what he thought of Akira and his response was clear that he did not like her and that the space that they share is his. He explained that it was not that he hated her, but rather that he felt that if he gave up some of his space and allowed her access to it that Akira would get more love than he does. He acknowledged that they are both loved but Akira is 'pretty' and because of this she may get more love if he lets her have more freedom. He was worried that he was not as playful/sweet as she was in her own way and that he could not compete with this and would get less love.

All animals have their own spiritual paths and Tanaka is the protector cat. He loves this role and not only protects your house from pests, but also spiritually. I reminded Tanaka that being a protector requires courage and strength and that you were very appreciative of this and loved him very much. I showed him that he has just as important skills/path as Akira and that it was not possible that one could be loved more than the other and there was no need to feel threatened and compete with each other. He was very responsive to this (especially as he now understands how important his role is) which was great. I told him that I thought it would be beneficial for him if I did a clearing of his energy bodies (to removed any negative energy) and then to attune him to Reiki as this would help him when feeling threatened and help him when he is being the protector. Without any hesitation he said I could."

san and I hope that you are much entertained by my conversations with Craig. Nowadays I have less jealousy and I told Fern that I am now just curious about my sisfur and how I think she is cute. I still call her 'little girl' cos that is how I see hur. I also tell Fern about ordinary fings that happen in our house. Last week someone in the house had stomachache and had put some smelly stinky stuff on it. san told Fern later that it was grandma. So we talk about impawtant stuff like my food and some not so impawtant stuff like ...well if its not food, its not so impawtant.

Offur cos some people (including san's bean family) tell san that she may be wasting her money and time on animal communicators and reiki fur animals and she should donate to other things that are less 'exotic'. But we think or rather san thinks that all investments in healing are good investments.

Appreciation

Today, I give thanks for my family even the orange fuzzball. He has learnt not to disturb me (most of the time) as he knows that I am no pushover. I am thankful that he thinks I am cute and he likes watching me do cute things. I give thanks for my brother Bujang as he allows me to run all over the house like a sandstorm at night and he understands that I am a little complicated and like to think a lot. I give thanks for san who loves me with her whole heart and helps us all to learn how to live as a family. I thank grandma as she keeps calling me "Akira" in a soft voice so I am not afraid. I also thank Fern who gives me Reiki and makes me feel warm and comfortable.

ps. this is all taken from her conversations with Laura and Fern :)

Easy Peasy Sunday

                             

                           

Our InstMag shows all of us walking outside this week. Only Bujang had longer hours downstairs as he had told Craig ( the Reiki teacher who is also helping him with his back) that he wanted a longer time outside. So he gets 1 hour and sometimes more than that. Yesterday though he had an interrupted walk as the com cat who used to roam the green was there yesterday and insisted on following him. He was uneasy and growled loudly. So we went to the ixora park but the same thing happened. Finally we went to another place altogether but he insisted on going to his usual green ( as he could see it from where he was). So although Bujang had one hour downstairs, it was much interrupted. 

                    

This was the cat that wanted to follow him about. I have not seen this cat for many months and thought that he had been abandoned by his caregiver. This was the cat that had both his ankles broken by feral dogs and he had to be taken to the vet. We had taken him to 2 vets and he had to stay at a shelter to recover. His caregivers now were some people who live in the same building as us but on a different floor. Although they have yet to keep him totally indoors (as he has 2 metal plates in his back ankles and might not be able to run from feral dogs again) at least he knows he has a home to run to. He is our bionic kitty. Although Bujang was upset, I was glad to see him healthy and curious. 

The tuxedo under the darker bushes was upset by Bujang's presence and as it was 'his' garden I thought we should not make it difficult for him. 

Bujang was not pleased to be here and wanted to go to his usual green to his right. So I finally had to take him home. 

   Where he took over the whole couch and slept to recover from his upsetting experience. 

                       

            

                        Today though we will all have an Easy Peasy Day.
