Bujang at the osteopath

                      

Bujang behaved very well at the osteopath this morning. He sat patiently and waited for Adrian and he helped Adrian massage his spine by turning right and left and sitting quietly. He even allowed Adrian to feel his liver without once protesting. I was quite amazed at how well-behaved he was. 

The report this time was excellent. Adrian had checked all his vertebrae and he did not find any stress in any one of them now. I am really glad as I want his later life to be just as happy as his life now, without excruciating and debilitating pain. 

I must stress that Adrain did say his physical trauma is the result of some emotional stress and trauma in his early life as to date Bujang did not have any kind of trauma with me nor had he hurt himself. Adrian helped him the first time and I had decided to get more help for his emotional issues with Craig MacLennan, a naturapath and holistic teacher. Craig had been working with Bujang and clearing his emotional 'blockages' and chakra work. Since I do not think that a stressed spine can be better with only one treatment, the emotional work with Craig must have done a llot to help him as well. 

Since he is doing so well, we only need to see Adrian in 3 months, in July. Hurrah!

Good for you Akira!

Yesterday Akira was a very happy kitty as she could get out of her room in the afternoon. She walked about inspecting everything and everyone and after ensuring that everything is as it should be, she decided to sit here, in this cradle. This is where Bujang is most of the afternoon but seeing that Bujang was sleeping somewhere else, she commandeered this space for a good part of the day. She has not been here for many years because of our bridge brothers and of course because of Tanaka as well.

 When she saw the clicky box, she decided to pose prettily

 "Are you done san?"

                                                                zzz...

For the last 4 days, we had had the CNY break and I had let her out early. Tanaka sits with me in my bedroom, which he likes so he does not become anxious. Later he sits for a short time in the computer room by himself as well. But he also walks along the corridor in the afternoon or evening and later, he gets out of the computer room when Akira sits in the kitchen. Tanaka does not go to the kitchen often or indeed at all these days. At this time, he does not have the harness and so is free to roam about. However, if Akira sits on top of the cage, he has the harness and lead as well.

I think this arrangement works out fine for everyone and so I have to find an equally agreeable solution now since school has started. The spirit essences also seemed to work well and he increasingly has let her alone. Of course last Sunday, he was looking at her closely and Akira yelled and slapped him twice from inside her gate! he was so shocked that he was not able to eat his breakfast. But later, I gave him his breakfast at another place and he ate with great gusto. So I guess they are both re-learning their bounderies.

I had previously asked Craig, a Reiki Practitioner about the both of them. Of Tanaka he says:

I connected quickly and the communication flowed easily. He was a joy to speak to and has such a beautiful vitality to him. I started by asking what he thought of Akira and his response was clear that he did not like her and that the space that they share is his. He explained that it was not that he hated her, but rather that he felt that if he gave up some of his space and allowed her access to it that Akira would get more love than he does. He acknowledged that they are both loved but Akira is 'pretty' and because of this she may get more love if he lets her have more freedom. He was worried that he was not as playful/sweet as she was in her own way and that he could not compete with this and would get less love.

So eventhough he has to be separated from her at these times, I do sit with him and explain to him why as much as I can. 

A Week of Surprises

Last week has been full of me coughing and just resting. The amigos have been behaving very well indeed and the spirit essences seem to be working their magic;). The amigos were more restful and calm. However, for Tanaka, rest is not to be as he had walked out of my bedroom for 3 consecutive mornings and sat on top of Akira's cage trying to say hello with his paw through it. But truth be told, he was a little less obsessed  and she was very relaxed and took it in her stride. In my effort to instil peace in the house, I had asked Craig, a reiki practioner, to give them all an attunement. The results were surprising indeed but not in any obvious change in behaviour. I now know that in our household I have 3 powers to love :)

                                             and Big Boss Bujang, the Mediator

But all this makes for a long story which I will tell in later posts when I have sorted them all out in my head. 

So we will end this short post with 2 pictures of Bujang walking on grass and negotiating his favorite green space last Thursday. It took him 2 days to get comfortable with walking in the park again after a whole year of walking along corridors. 

                            

                   

                             On Wed he spent most of his time in his carrier

             

On Thursday he spent most of his time outside walking on his old spots. The days have been quiet as the lift upgrading works have slowed down. This means he could get more time downstairs although I think it was walking up and down stairs that had allowed him to lose some of his weight. I plan to have him lose at least 1 kg for this year. I hope we could make it.
