Welcome to the 1st day of Ramadhan

Bujang celebrating the 1st day of Ramadhan

The boys woke up with me very early today as this is the 1st morning for Ramadhan. We ate pre-dawn meal together. The boys had biscuits and water and I had cornflakes and tea. It was an express meal :)

However Bujang still has not passed out his string although he looks none the worse for wear. Whenever he sees us with the laxatone, he would run off, waving his foot (the one that I had placed the Laxatone on last week) wildly. He would, however, polish off his laxatone-laced treat and that is how we had been giving Bujang his laxative.

The String Theory

Watcha lookin at?

Bujang sitting with grandma and keeping her company...

Oahhh...I'm too sleepy...

There is only so much a bodyguard can do grandma...

Emergency measures...Oh Oh!

Dr L advised that I give Bujang Laxatone once a day for four days to see if the string would come out of his system. He said it was a serious thing if a cat should eat string as it could mess up his digestive system and mess with his intestines. I was very afraid of this as Cousin R had a friend whose cat had to undergo surgery because he had eaten string. The cat is fine now.


The instructions say that I should put a little on his nose or paw to persuade him to eat it. Did he give me a hard time? YES! The paw trick did not work. Instead it spooked Bujang so much that he spent 10 minutes trying to shake it off his paw. By the time he licked what was left ...there was hardly anything.


I had given him his treat to persuade him that it was a good thing to lick the gel and Cousin R came up with a good idea :) So we put some of the gel on the treats. He ate the treats suspiciously but at least all of the treats and the gel were in his system. Then for good measure as there was some gel left in his plate, I put some of the broken pieces and powdered salmon treats on it. That worked very nicely for Bujang. He was not stressed out and we got him to eat his gel :)

Now we only have to see what will or will not happen ...
