I don't believe this!
Huh! You didn't!!Today I went to make 2 appointments for the amigos. One is at the groomer for Toro and one at the vet for Bujang. I thought that since the groomer (plus 3 other helpers) was not able to cut his nails, then I should get the vet to try. His nails have grown to become talons worthy of an eagle.
The vet technician was rather worried when I told her that I wanted to bring Bujang for nail trimming. SHe then asked the vet and the vet said that they could try to trim his nails for him. However, if they could not, then I would have to abort it. :) I told her that if he still resists it, then of course there is no other way and I would bring him home. I don't think I would get him sedated just to trim his nails. Worse case scenario, I would have to brave it myself and cut one nail a day. Wait till he is asleep in the basket of the cat gym and do it. Cut and Run!
I have no trouble cutting the nails of the other 3. Some cats just do not like people to touch their paws I guess.

Bujang and his Megat trials
Eversince Megat came to live with us, Bujang has been finding it quite a trial to live with a 4th cat. I think he has been quite accomodating with Akira and Toro and he quite understood how to live with them but Megat is an enigma to him. Of course Megat is not your ordinary cat having lived for 10+ years so he does not like to be trifled with apart from the fact that he is still quite nervous of them all. Bujang spends alot of his time now with me in the computer room as do Toro and Akira. I would have (like the case now) all 3 cats with me with Bujang on the cushions, Toro sleeping on his computer shelf and AKira right smack in front of my monitor. It's like a hide-out. Usually at some point before bedtime, I have to put Megat in his cage so he can rest without me (and I can work) and this also gives the rest of the household some rest time away from uncertainty.
But the upside is now Bujang would actually eat some Natural Balance which I feed Megat. The other two still would not entertain such an idea. Bujang has also taken to eating cod liver oil quite willingly. Of cos then he grooms himself and he smells of cod liver oil. Kind of yukk. So I have to wipe him out but its a small price to pay I think.
I hope to get Bujang to eat Natural Balance as I have seen what a difference it makes to Megat's coat and general health. Megat used to eat 2 cans a day but now he only eats about 3/4 of a can which is ok for his weight and size. I hope to get Bujang's weight down in this way too. :) I will work on the other 2 more slowly especially Toro Tunabelly whose idea of food is exteremly narrow.
