Saturday Meditations

What is my Noo...New Year resolution?

Toro: If I have only 1 - Then it must be -Life is too short. Be nice to effuryone.
san: Does that include the postal service?
Toro: I fink so.
san: I'll think about it.
Happy New Year effuryone~~~

WHAT!!

Really? So now we don't have it?!!

I bought for the amigos a new cat fountain made of made of stainless steel and then today I got mail from mythreecats that they had their package sent back to them. It seems our post had tried to deliver our package and sent us a notice on 30th November and since there was no reply from us, they had sent back the package!! We were flabbergasted as we did not get any notice at all!! We sent an enquiry to the post and we are now waiting their reply.

We only have plastic fountains here that I can find and the plastic smells after a few years! We were all very disappointed with our mail service.

Totoro on Thursday

Don't look at me Bujang...Don't~~~~

When is Noo Year?

oh..its New year you mean san...when is that? Will the rest of my fur grow as nicely as my tail then?

Hmmm...in the new year I have to go to see Dr Ly. san, can we stop the New year now?

Let it come san. I have no fear!

My furs are growing quite nicely now san. I think the steroid is working a little. But we shall see...

Let anyfing come. I am always ready fur anyfing!

Christams Greetings from cat_aunty

Empress Dowager Spencer letting her hair down...

Thanks for this Christmas card cat_aunty. All offur us are here :) We dedicate this card to all the kitties in effurywhere at Christmnas and of cos also to the new Dr Who (who san likes too much). We just saw Dr Who- A Christmas Carol and san finks it was the bestest gift from TV Land :)

Happy Chritsmas effuryone!

TGIF

Here I am helping san put up the Christmas decorations on our wall as I am Santa's helper. I held onto the felt snowflake while she put some sticky tape on it.

This was what our wall looked like and I inspected it from afar to tell san if the decorations were straight. (Also I wanted to see just what to do if I wanted to play wif them later when san was not looking)

san also put up our new lights outside so Ms Akira could have her own Christmas tree. san says the lights look like a tree so we did not have to stick on any more decorations. I was purty glad as I was tired by then. We had never put up Christmas decorations before but san was saying that she kept seeing words like 'santr,' ' truck', and 'conesw' when she was doing word verifications for comments so she decided to put some up this year :)

Anyway I like all celebrations cos we get new collars and san always has the fairy lights on outside. It cheers up the house and corridor as the days are always dark because of the rainy season.

Thursday is for Totoro

I'm glad today is MY day for blogging. I told san that since its Thursday, I should be the only one out here in the blog. It's about time.
san boughted us a new tunnel from IKEA. It is actually a tunnel for little kids. san told us that we are her little kids so we should have the tunnel since all our tunnels are torn. Its quite strong and rolls about nicely. I do not like racing through the tunnel unlike a certain orange cat, who you can see waiting at the corner!
I like sitting in it. It gives me a green glow. I feel protected and I know no one would disturb me here, although sometimes san shifts the tunnel without knowing I am in there and then she gets a fright. Hahaha....

I can also lie about in it by myself.

But of course nothing beats sitting by an open window. This is usually the bestest thing!

Working Wednesday

This afternoon, I worked hard to keep our neighbourhood free of mosquitoes...
I made sure I looked under the pots too...

and took a peek behind them...

I told Bujang that we should leave no pots unturned and he agreed.

I then had a good nap as I know we would not be bitten by the Aedes mosquitoes and get dengi. It seems quite a nuber of people have gotten it but I am always vigilant, unless I'm nappin :)

Slip Sliding ...

Megat: I told you he is a silly kitty san. I can't help but beat him up!

Slip...

Sliding...

Away...

zzz...

Actually he reminds me a little of a baby seal :). Toro likes sleeping here as the couch is softer and he knows no one else would compete with him for it...unless its Tanaka but Tanaka and Toro are friends :) so no problems there.

Sunday Special

At the amigos house, all things are in order, as it should be. I am planning spring cleaning to greet 2012 and have told all of them. The only attentive one is Tanaka as usual. He is a regular Santa's helper :)

Goodnight Good Friend

We are very sorry to hear that our good friend and one of the greatest singers in catdom, Admiral Hestorb had gone to the bridge last Wednesday. She was one of the most feisty kitties we knew and one of the kindest. We know that she would still be singing where she is now and we will open our ears and hearts to hear her song always.

Vet Visits II

Bujang was very angry at the vet. He growled several times at everyone after the vet took his temperature so we did not do the blood test nor did the vet manage to trim his nails. I did not think it was wise to antagonise him any further. He is healthy and his teeth are all okay. He is overweight! Oh dear! he is now 8.2kg!! I think THAT is massive for a cat, even though he is big-boned and well-muscled like Bujang.

Dr H took one look at Ms Akira and told me that she did not look as though she had any trouble. I told him that the problem was her abdomen and her legs! If you look at MS Akira from above, she looks glossy and her fur is soft but her abdomen tells another story!

Dr H gave her 0.25 injection of Depredil and told me to monitor her for about 2 weeks. If she over grooms less, this means she is allergic to the food and we would have to give her hypoallergenic kibble. He suspects that she is allergic to some thing in her food. He also gave us Clomicalm, an anti-depressant for her obsessive behaviour but we are KIVing that. Dr H said the anti-depressant would take about 3 weeks before we see anything. I have begun to allow Bujang to hang out with her at night since he is the only one she can tolerate and who does not harass her. I think it would be good for her to have another cat to hang out with, so whenever she hangs out, Bujang would be there too. the other boys are sequested in the bedroom, away from her so she can relax.

The only cal kitty at the vet was Tanaka. He was interested and did not flinch when the vet took his temperature :). He is 4.5 kg, which Dr L (who saw both the boys today) said was a very good weight - not underweight nor overweight, just the right weight :). He got his vaccination and had a little fever. He is now resting in bed. The only problem with him is that he has a lot of stool in his intestines! He really hates taking meds so I think it would be a problem giving him pumpkin.

All in all, everyone had a good result at the vet. In the case of Ms Akira, at least we are trying something. Maybe acupuncture is the way to go...hmmm

Vet Visits

Today Bujang and Tanaka would be going to the vet for their annual vet visits. We will be seeing Dr H, who has just come back from stint in feline medicine. We were told that this was his speciality. Tanaka would be getting his vaccination and Bujang would just get the usual, maybe a blood test also since he is already 7 years old but it depends on his mood of course.

I brought Ms Akira for her annual check up. She sang _all_ the way to the vet and even grumbled while we were waiting for the vet. Then she had to be examined from underneath her towel! Dr H took it in his stride and recommended some things for her over grooming. Megat and Totoro of course will not be going as they had just seen Dr L last month.

I hope all goes well.

My Gotcha Day

Happy Gotcha Day to me~~~~

But I still get no respect!!

Good news Saturday

No it has nuffing to do wif us although we are furry healthy, which is good news :) I am just sitting up here this morning thinking about offur kitties, like the kitty in the pikshur below. His name is Smokey and he is 11 years old. san and many catmoms have been trying to find him a home and finally yesterday he found a new furrever home.

Smokey is an 11 -year old Scottihs Fold indoor cat and needed a new home as his mom can no longer take care of him. Good Luck Smokey!

Now that he has a home, we are no longer worried although san is still a little worried as he is an old cat and would need special care. san was sad as she could not bring him home as there are 5 offur us already (but I am not sad as this is MY home and I need my space). But we will purray for Smokey as he now has 6 offur bruffers and sisfurs. Good Luck Smokey!

TGIF

We are just lazing about as usual on Friday afternoon now that _all_ of us are home. Life is quiet, which is the way we like it. But this morning san was busy taking our pikshurs. We had had 4 days of no pikshurs and the sudden fury of it all exahusted us, as you can see from this pikshur!

Totoro: This morning I had to take _all_ my medicines! In the morning! It was a painful time but then san gave me a treat which made it all ok :) So I posed for this pikshur.
Huh? There was a treat? Why didn't I get any?
That is because you were not taking any medicine Bujang! I got a treat as I allowed san to clean me up. I do this every morning for the treat. Surely you didn't think I did it for the fun of it?

I don't like treats! san usually give treats when she wants us to do somefing funny - like take medicine, wipe our fur, clean our ears, brush us. Phooey! I dun like any offur that!

I get treats every night when its time fur bed :) I dun have to do anything - just sit on her lap all day :)

No, you have to do so much better than that!

and who_are_YOU?

I came home from a short holiday in Pahang, West Malaysia to a very chilly reception from Toro. He refused to have anything to do with me and kept running off as soon as he thinks I am coming.

Then after about 45 minutes, he decided I had enough punishment and pawed me for attention and brushing :) The other boys took it all in their stride and came to say hello with Tanaka making me give him an extended session of under_the_chin scritches. Ms Akira was calm and steady and took a long sniff before decided that I was ok:)
