18 Afternoon Meeting

We

We were supposed to have a meeting but Sky was  too busy napping after lunch. Tsk!

 

17. Another surprise

San was very surprised when I took a nap next to her last night. I had never done this before. But I was too sleepy and comfortable as my sisters were also sitting near me. But it was only a short nap as I had other things to do. 
 

16. All ready for Monday

After my breakfast I usually sit here with  san while she decides on her own breakfast. We also listen to some reiki music to prepare ourselves for the day. This morning I heard the rooster. He was very noisy.  But I enjoy hearing him as it means he is still safe outside. 

These are my stuffed toys all ready and neatly lined up. Later they would  be all over the living room. San usually lines them up before she goes to work. Nowadays I prefer Donkey as he took care of me when I was Outside. 

 

15. What’s that?

This morning I spent a lot of time just watching cat tv. Then I saw a beetle. It was the beetle from last night. It came through our window and then disappeared. We waited for it until it was bedtime  San got all of us into the room as she didn’t want us to run after it . Unfortunately san rescued it and released it Outside  Hrumohhff to you san! 
 

14 Just Because Us

 We told san we wanted to hear the morning bird sounds. We didn’t hear the rooster though. Hmmm….

13. Finally Friday…

 Today is the 2nd Friday of san’s  school break. We are glad for this quiet time together this morning. 

12. A Quiet Morning with san

 I had a quiet morning with san as my sisters were napping under the couch. I sat here as it was much cooler than at the doorway of the main gate.

Then I heard some noises outside. It was some kind of trolley with wheels I had seen them many times before. I sat near the door as I was curious. San said I was safe inside the house so I sat for some time. But it did not appear. I saw a sunbird on my grandma’s jasmine tree though. It sang quite loudly for such a small bird. I was glad about that. 

11 Pet Memorial Day

 

10. Our TUESDAY post

 I reminded san that yesterday was Monday and NOT Tuesday which is today. And to make it better I decided to show her that I was not  grumpy all the time. I am a cat of many disguises. 

9. Let me tell you something

Have a blessed Tuesday. 
 

8 Easy Peasy Sunday

 I plan to nap all day today. I had a late breakfast and also played with Momo for a bit. Last night there were great rumblings of thunder and so I went to sleep with san and my sisters. I felt much better as san closed the door to the room and we were all together. Thunder makes me nervous. So today I am a little sleepy. 

No San. It’s too much …

 I reminded San of the need for self-control when she put this collar on me.  I reminded her that I was a boy-cat and I do not need  ribbons on me especially when it came  with girly jewels. She said it was a stop gap measure as my own colllar was stained by the meds that the vet had given her for mite control. Why did I need that? Well my sisters go for grooming every 2 months and the vet said everyone should be protected. I think girls are too much trouble !

6. Sometimes …

 I hear strange sounds from the Outside. I am curious as to what they are but afraid as well. This is a good place when I find myself in these situations. 

5. Momo’s day Outside

I found the Outside to be very interesting although very hot. We went on the same trail as San said we kitties could then compare notes, which we did. At first I sat behind The Chairman (teddy) as I needed to feel more secure but later I just ignored him. I saw the same old birds that I had seen from outside my window but we had to take a winding trail as we were blocked many times by the workmen who were now painting the other flats. When I came home I was panting from the heat. San stopped for about 1/2 an hour under some trees so we could cool off but it didn’t work too well. San said perhaps next week she would bring us out at 6.30 am - the time she would have gone out to work. Hmmm…we need to tell San that would be too early for us. 

4. Family

 I would need to be very careful with Sky. When she is at the window I usually stay clear of her as she has big paws and sometimes slaps me when she is irritated. But momo and me are bffs. 

3. My Day Outside

 

I had to take a long rest when I got home from Outside. San said we went out for a whole hour. I saw one rooster and a hen. San  didn’t go near them. I was very quiet when we were out as I wanted to see many things. I made sure that I looked at san when there was a loud noise  so I was not afraid. It was a very good morning. 

1. Easy Peasy Sunday

 We went out in the morning at about 8. San and I went around the path to the park but it was under renovation. It was hot so san sat on the green seats to have some watermelon while I looked at the people walking. Later san asked me if I liked being out. I told her it was weird to have cats and crows look at me. I was a little frightened by that. 

 

Saturday with Grumpy

I am planning somefing big san. Just you watch this space . 

 

Easy Peasy Sunday

It will be a quiet Sunday as there would be no painters about. I prefer quiet Sundays to wind down the week and I get to listen to the sounds outside. I heard a very loud bird call. San told me it was a rooster. I asked her if it was inside like us. She said it may be a wild one from the park. 

Birds on the window sill

 The mynah visited us this  morning. It stood on our window ledge and lectured us on the rudeness of staring at strangers. We thought the mynah was the rude one. But mama said we should just enjoy it as it may not visit us again. 

Forever Loved

Sky: Finally, San is ready to show our memorial garden. I hope you're ready for a long post. I'm here for a reason—this garden belongs to me too. Our special space is next to our commcat brother, Megat. He passed about 11 years ago. His kitten has wings now, as he is our commcat angel, having once been a commcat himself before he lived with San.

 The first row belongs to FatBoy. He was the first commcat San cared for. He was fierce and loved to eat, so San gave him a Pixiu with a big fish. It's a lion that protects souls.

The second kitty belonged to Minah. She was a sweet cat who loved my brother, Bujang.

The third kitty is a little golden kitten. This one is mine, as it represents my four kittens who passed away before I even saw them. We were all very sick back then. San asked Akira to bring them to the Bridge, as they weren’t even a day old. Akira didn’t like having four kittens trailing after her too much, but I was grateful they made it safely to the Bridge.

San said she was once told that sometimes cats get lost—like FatBoy—and need a special service and a guide. So she gave FatBoy one and asked my rainbow brother, Totoro, to guide him.

The last kitty angel is for Baby. A commcat feeder left her at our house, waiting for someone to take her to the vet, but she passed. San and I were with her, so I think she wasn’t afraid.

San says it’s good for a bridge commcat to have a place to come home to. It brings great relief.

The votes are in…

As a concerned catizen I asked san to tell me the results of the GE. She said there were no surprises overall but she was glad there would be greater representation for all. There were the usual grouses and insults but we would have to wait for the next GE to see real change.  I told her she would be over seventy and I would be 10 years old by then. She sighed and asked me if I wanted a treat. YAY!!! (But I think she was just trying to stop me from asking more questions!). 
 

Finally Friday

This morning I decided to sit on Sky’s scratcher. She was napping next to San and didn’t notice me. It was nice and spacious. No wonder she  likes it so much. Mine is much smaller though. I will have to ask San to get me one as well. 
 

What’s all that noise San?

 We heard the truck announcing the general elections several times today. San told us it was going to be on Saturday and so the truck announcing the elections will roll tomorrow as well. I am curious to see the results as I am also a Singapore catizen. 

Easy Peasy Sunday

Momo is such a baby. She always wants to be where I am. San said she is  as old as I am. How can she be such a baby san?

Saturday Birdsong

 It is sometimes nice to listen to the birds with your sister. San opened the window for us and heard a sudden burst of noise. So we sat and listened together. 

I was sitting with san on the bed as there was no place for me at the window. I was much too late to get a viewing space. But the bed was ok and san was just sitting with us listening to the morning as well. 

What am I really?

 Sky: I am a lion but san thinks I am a kittykat.

MM: I am an expert camper but san thinks I am a naughty boycat

Momo: I am a cuddly teddy bear but san thinks I am a wanna-be Queen. 

Tsk-tsk. We don’t think san knows us well 

Is it a bath san?

It is already 6.15 am. It is still dark out but I can hear the rain still. It started from yesterday and has not stopped. San said it will probably continue throughout the day as it’s ‘that’ kind of rain. I wonder who is washing as I can’t see anyone or any cat. When my sisters go to the groomers the get a bath. San said no one is washing anyone and that rain is a natural thing. Hmmm. San said one of my rainbow sisters used to sit under the rain many times  until she came to live here. San brought her to the vet and thankfully the vet said there was nothing wrong with her. This water is a great mystery. 

 Rainbow sister Popsicle Popps. She used to sit in the rain when she was downstairs. She must have been one strange kitty. 

San said I look very much like Popps. Even the markings on our heads are alike. It is only our tails that are different and of course our colour. She only saw it this morning and wand was very surprised. 

Friday at home

 Today San is home as it is Good Friday. I had good naps and am now listening to the rain outside. There is some thunder but I know it is outside of my house so I am safe. 

Camping Trials

 San told me to take many pictures of my camping trip. But I only took 6. I tried to get Tiger to go with me as I was afraid of being lonely but he wanted to stay with Sky. So I went by myself. I climbed over white rocks and saw Nature at Her finest. I even tried to hunt a small lion. But it was all too much for me and I fell asleep. When I came home san gave me my favourite blanket and I then napped the rest of the day away. 

Going Camping

San said a little yellow will make this  picture of my camping trip better. I think I am enough. 
 

Saturday with Manju

I had to hide out as san wanted to bring me to the vet. I was not feeling so good on Thursday and was also quiet and kept to myself yesterday. Last night my ears felt hot so I had to rest. This morning san touched my ears as told me I seemed ok. Then I ran to the kitchen for breakfast so san decided not to bring me to the vet. Phewwww! She thinks it’s the freaky weather we have been having and in a few days there might be a heat wave. 
 

I am a STEALTH machine

 Is that you SKY? 

Queen Mochi the First

Chris chatted with Manju about his stomach problems when he suddenly told us that ‘Momo told us she is Queen’.  but ‘no one takes her seriously’ . It was his way of distracting us. But she does act like a diva!

Sisters on Tuesday

These days I sleep near my sister Sky, on the couch next to san. So sometimes all of us will sit or nap near each other. Even Manju sometimes sits with us although he tends to disturb us more than rest. 
 

Just Because we’re bff

Cat games for supercats.

 These days Sky tells san it is time for cat games. We usually get to play when san comes home from work and she puts on a game for us for 10 minutes while she puts her books down or makes herself some tea. It’s always fun although san tells us not to break the screen. We try to be careful but sometimes it’s impossible.  

Ramadhan

Ramadhan is here again but thank goodness I do not have to fast. I ate a whole can of chicken and also ate some of my sisters’ food as san forgot to put the latch on my gate. San didn’t fast today as her doctor told her she could not be hungry or she might have to go to the Big Vet. She just thinks she needs to eat differently though. I told her she should leave my diet alone. 
 

I am better !

 Nowadays I eat all of my food as I feel well. San gives me only 1/2 a can in the morning and I get 1/2 for lunch and dinner. She feels I should take it easy. But this morning I was very hungry and ate 1 can for breakfast. The vet thinks it’s a matter of my digestion and gave me probiotics that I have to take for the long term. I also got some mirtapazine in case I am off my food again but I only take it if I have an appetite problem. He also told san  to use Nex Guard on me as mite prevention. Since I had put on weight,  I didn’t have to do any labs. But the vet told san that if this problem crops up again and I lose weight as well, then it would be time for investigations. 

The vet again?

I went to the vet again this afternoon as I had loose stools and didn’t feel like eating. Yesterday I didn’t eat at all and had a few kibbles at night. The vet said as I weigh more than the last time I was there, he was not worried. He gave me a probiotic, transdermal mirtapazine and new mite control so he could keep tabs on it. When I came home I ate more of my food. San was surprised. So was I.

 

Just Because

The noise from the corridor being washed always surprises the kitties.  

Saturday at home

Momo sat here quietly listening to the sounds of cooing. We have not seen the pigeons yet but we hear the cooing almost every day, sometimes from the corridor garden as well. 
 

Just Because

These days Manju can usually be found at this window especially in the mornings as I am still  on hospitalisation leave. He loves the smell of mornings. 

 

Just Because

It’s finally ok to nap after 3 days of noisy merry-making by the neighbours. I had to say hello to many of our neighbour’s visitors for Chinese New Year from inside my house. San shut all the windows as well as the noise might scare us. But today, all is quiet. 
 

Help for san

 I tried to help out with the kitties when san was in hospital. Yes I am not here anymore but I asked san if I could stay with her for a bit before leaving for the bridge. I knew she may need my help and she did. I told the kitties that san was ok and they should try to relax and help each other. I told Chris that I would leave for the bridge in a few months as the kitties were now able to be friends and enjoy each other’s company. I know san would be sad but it’s time to leave already. Manju can already take care of san I thought as he is now older and more calm. The two girls are ok with each other and eventhough momo can be a princess , she has been a good nurse for san.
