Akira and the osteopath

        

This morning Akira went to the osteopath. She now sees Adrian only once very 3 months as she is better and he needs only to do some minor adjustments, if she needs them. She was suspicious from yesterday as she saw her red soft carrier among the cat toys. This morning after her breakfast, she went resolutely inside her cubby hole. Usually she would make a request to be let out into the family room on Saturdays. 

                       

This is Adrian, her osteopath. She likes him a lot and would sit even through the most painful massage. When I asked her if the treatments were working she said (to Laura, the animal communicator):

My body feels much better. I stretch better and when he massages me I feel a release of everything. My doctor said iam a nice cat. 

I had asked her to tell Bujang about Adrian as I thought he would benefit from some realignment of his bones since he is already 10 this year and he does not like his back touched a lot. She told Bujang that: He is a human friend with a big heart and his heart is wild about cats. His heart stretches outward and inside of you so fear becomes nothing and love becomes everything. 

I think that must be the best endorsement for anyone who works with animals. 

                              

In this picture we were at the 'garden' which is behind the osteopath clinic. It's a quiet and breezy space where you can sit and take a breather. We were here this morning an d not at our usual space as workers were digging the roads to build a foundation for a new building across the street. 

  

Usually we would be seated here for the treatments. Tanaka's treatments are here as well as one of the other osteopaths is allergic to animals. I told Adrian about Bujang and he said he would be willing to see him. So in March Bujang would see this doctor since both Akira and Tanaka had only good things to say to him about Adrian. I hope he allows Adrian to treat him without incident. 

                         

                                   When we came home she took a short nap.

Akira at the osteopath

This morning we nearly missed our appt with Dr Lalani as we got trapped in a jam at the ECP. Dr L advised us make another appt as he did not wish to cut short Akira's session but we made it by a whisker.

I told Dr L that she may have some trouble with her back legs. Dr L felt them and enquired if she seemed clumsy. He touched her ears as well and asked me when I had cleaned her ears last. I had never cleaned her ears! He advised that I clean her ears gently as there was some inflammation in her left ear and her right ear also needed cleaning. He also cleared up her sinus.

In more good news Dr L said she is coming into her own once again and he can see that she is becoming a more assertive kitty. Akira of cos was very quiet with the doctor which was good. She had complained the whole one hour to The Biopolis! Her next appt is on 27 April as he wanted to see if she was less clumsy and her ears are free of the inflammation.He said the ear inflammation could also cause her to lose balance as well. She was quiet and restful after the session and Dr L said she should be sleeping for a few hours :)

Anyway Dr L said I should try to clean her ears gently myself so she would not get stressed at the vet. He also recommended some fish oil on her diet. Oh-oh!

Akira at home became quite relaxed.

Tanaka of cos was ever vigilant.
