Wednesday Whisperz

   

Bossy Boots allowed us to dance with her for a bit after TCM yesterday. She was quite bored with the whole thing which was a surprise as otherwise she would try to squirm and bite us for making a fool out of her. ;)

Monday Mood

                  Relaxation

Monday is always a lazy day in my house as San is at work and grandma watches tv. We have nothing to do but nap. 

    

We also like to put up Cody's (Jeffrey as was) portrait drawn by his mother. We think it looks very much like him. 

Just Because

For today I found a picture of Akira when she had all of her fur. So I thought we should just have a Just Because picture.  She was about 4 or 5 years old in this picture. She has been overgrooming for so long that it quite surprised me to chance on this picture of her, with all her fur, from such a long time ago. 

Saturday Easy

The haze was better this morning. I went out fur a short walk. But Saturdays are fur napping. 

TGIF

          TGIF - the haze doesn't faze me

Thursday Tweet

A little time out this morning. Tanaka behaved himself so everything was quite calm. 

Wednesday Whisperz

    

 I dun believe San will play tricks on me like this! San took this with the hand phone and iPAD. 

San used the Sketch App.  You can even see pesky Tanaka's shadow cat on the lower half of the wall. 

Tuesday Thots

Resting outside and enjoying the breeze and quiet. 

Now that the haze is not such a problem San and I have been spending some of our time along the corridor. She told me that she had to take a video of how I walk as requested by my osteopath Adrian but I didn't feel like it. So we just sat here, she listening to a story on Audible and me just resting. 

Monday Mood

                  Satisfaction

Yesterday I went out for a walk in the morning. This was my second walk in this year. It wasn't bad. I also spent the whole  day outside with Tanaka. 

I told Fern all about it;

Akira was quite proud and she is less worried and less fearful. From her head, T isn't so "big" now. 

I expect more good days from now. 

Easy Peasy Sunday Experiment

This week was a quiet one. We love quiet weeks. The haze was not so very bad though Popps had some trouble with her eye again. 

But San is now using some colloidal silver around her eyes as she read online that it had been useful in many cases involving allergies and skin troubles. 

This morning Tanaka did not try to chase Akira even when she was walking right in front of him. He just looked at her which was a little scary but he was not like before. So all of us spent this morning outside. Yesterday Akira also walked out along the corridor. She not done that for a long time. 

This is Tanaka in his Sunday best. ;)

Yesterday Tanaka was sitting close to Akira like this. San told him to leave her alone and if Akira should yell at him he had to take care of himself. She growled at him loudly once and he crept away. It was as great success San felt for both Tanaka and Akira. 

Yesterday I went for my osteopathy session with Adrian. We both sat here where it was quiet and peaceful. Adrian did some cranial work on me which I loved. It was to relax my whole spine and make it much more comfortable for me. As I have been having monthly sessions I have been up and down cupboards and stairs a lot and am also able to play with Tanaka like before. So San is pleased that my sessions with Adrian are working well. There is nothing like preventive medicine San thinks. 

You can see from this sketch what a nice place we were at yesterday. 

San is now going out for a bit and she has decided to leave all the doors open and all of us are out and about. She did leave instructions what to do in case_someone whose name begins with T_ decides to stir up trouble. Wish is loch everyone. This is the first time in 4 years that San is trying this out. 

Collars X-treme

          Extreme Collar. 

She has now figured out how to get around her M collar and has started licking her upper thigh so we are trying the 3 collars to help her lick less. All the colors are very light and she can now move around quite well. The good thing is because of the collars she has not been able to bury herself under the blankets and therefore sweat less which may make her less hot and bothered. 

The collars are pliable and can easily bend and while this is good for a cat as they bother them less, it's also not good for groomers like Akira as she can get around them or figure a way to lick the affected areas. 

   Popps  is just wearing the M collars

When we out the 3 collars we waited to see if she could get all the way up here and she did almost immediately. So we know that she could manage it for at least one night. 

TGIF

          It's TGIF Day? How time flies!

Just Because

Time to rest. There is very little haze today as our clouds were seeded (rumour has it) for the last 2 days because of F1. All of us can rest for a bit until next week as F1 is on the weekend only. 

Note: Dear Mei

If you need the contact number for the TCM vet, you can send me email at animesanzoATyahooDOTcom or pm us Bujang MyCat at FB :)

Remembering Totoro

Today Is Toro's 3rd anniversary at the bridge. His jasmine flowers are blooming and we get a soft fragrant smell wafting along the corridors at night and the early evening. 

      His Jasmine flowers blooming. 

I have also gotten him the Japanese koi to fly in the wind. 

Run Free Totoro. We miss you every day. 

Just Because

Last night I slept on san's blanket. We had the a/c on as San had to close all the windows because of the haze situation. It wasn't bad but I prefer a good breeze. 

Monday Mood

                  Gratitude

That we are not outside kitties in this haze. 

Easy Peasy Sunday

Ms Akira did something quite unprecedented  yesterday. She actually told Tanaka off for trying to disturb her. She got out from under her blanket and yelled in his face. 

Fern:

Akira: I praised her loads on being so brave regarding the encounter with T. She said while still a bit frustrated though feeling satisfied that "of course, how could he disturbed me (while being in a peaceful state) and thats really inappropriate!" She was relieved to have support and affirmation from us thats it's OK to do so. 

As for the ginger terror:

This was where he decided to sit after his little shock. 

Tanaka: He was surprised too that A was on guard and shouted back at him. He thought A was not paying attention. I asked him to approach her nicely if wanna talk or get her attention. Dont scare her.

Meanwhile I had bought Popps a new soft toy for herself. She doesn't have to use Megat's doggie anymore but she didn't know what to do with it. 

Maybe because it has no fur and doesn't look like all the other soft toys on the house. 

Poppy: We had a good long conversation.  I asked how she likes the Cutesy doll, she was a bit shy, said never had anything like this of her own. 

       

Maybe it's just too cutesy. Bujang and Tanaka both did not like it much. 

Bujang had a good week and did not spend much time supervising. 

Bujang: I reminded him he is a gentleman, a good leader and a very kind kitty, and everyone respects him. So be kind to P and share the space in the house with her and dont need to show off his authority. He seemed agreeable but more excited to hear about P experience outdoors. 

I said try to be patient during acupuncture and he would be ok. He said he doesnt like when people trying to do anything on his body. It is irritating and stressful for him. I said yr mummy knows but she means well for his own good. 

We are trying to get Popps to tell the kitties about her adventures outside. Maybe they would look at her with new respect of the know how hard life outside really is. 

Akira: she asked if P really wanna share her stories? She said thought P is so grumpy.

We shall see what happens next week. We wish everyone a good and easy  Sunday. 

Saturday no so easy

As expected the results were much the same as always. San thinks we may have less paper stuff that she buys our food and pays our doctors with. Also the downstairs kitties may not get any better treatment and grandma may not be treated better as well. All in all except for San being able to take care of us, things may not be any better for many kitties and their pawrents. San says we can only hope that all that had been discussed will be looked into and not swept under the table. She also prays that no one will be put in away or made to pay fines. Oh dear. 

TGIF

                 Even grandma is going and she is 85!

Wednesday Whisperz

It's nice to have some peace and quiet. When San is at work Bossy Boots will have to be in the kitchen so I can just hang out here. 

Sunpuddle Sunday

We all love the smell of sunshine. Sun puddles are our favourite. 

I am always happy to be in a sunpuddle. It's warm and cool at the same time. 

Here I was basking in a sunpuddle when Bossy Boots passed by. Fank goodness she didn't see me. 

I like the morning sun but I only get to do this in the moning during weekends like this morning. I wait for the sun to come up later. It is cool here as well. 

This is a good place to sit for evening sunpuddles. But I don't sit here much anymore as San told me I cannot sit here in the evening these days. She is afraid I will try to step out into the corridor by myself.  I tried to do that once last month and after that she said for me to sit at the cat seat if I want to catch the sun. 

   

She said it is safer here for me and I can get some breeze as well. It's also quiet in san's room. I like it here very much. But I always get into trouble with the orange kitty. He is very inquisitive and I don't like that. He is also 'stinky' from tuna.

This pic is dark as San took my picture against the morning sun. I like sitting in this swing basket. I get some sun and also some breeze. San also does not close the window if there is a drizzle so I also get a bit of the cool rain sometimes. 

But I like being here most of all. It's downstairs and there is grass and good smells. There used to be pigeons but now not so much as there was a warning sign against feeding them. 

I like the morning sun when I can get it. I am not out so much in the mornings as San has to be at work. 

I much prefer sitting here. It is also a safer place. Nowadays I sit here and San allows Tanaka and Popps to be in the living room as well. Sometimes all 4 of us are outside at the same time. I like that best of all. 

Actually all this talk about sunpuddles is well and good. But my new favourite place is here, in san's wardrobe. It has different smells and it's safe from Bossy Boots as she has not discovered it yet. 

This is the afternoon sun. I look so much better in this picture. With this, I think we want to thank you for coming to visit. San has been very busy last week because it's the last week of term. She said she will bring me down this week if the haze is not very bad. I look forward to that. We hope you have a good Sunday and enjoyed reading about us today.
