Haze Alert

Bujang will also have to spend more time indoors. Fern said Bujang has a little trouble with his breathing but its not so serious. This week he spent most of his time indoors or with his cat games on iPad. He loves these games and will spend at least 15 minutes on the Fishing Game or the Art Game before he decides to go do something else. He is very proprietory about the games and will not allow me to participate. Its a good thing the other kitties take no interest in the cat games at all.

We are having a very dry spell and it looks like it will last for a few more weeks. It seems it's the driest we have ever had. With the dry spell comes forest fires, natural or man-made. Indeed this morning we could smell the smoke and realised that the haze is here. So from today, we cannot open any windows nor our door. Bujang has been coughing intermittently but I think its more hairball than asthma. All kitties and people will have to stay indoors. I think if I am to take the kitties for a walk, it would have to be only along the corridors and not downstairs at all. Bujang would not be pleased but at least we could protect ourselves more this way.
