Just Because

I fink I hav been a furry good boy all these manymanymany days. I helped my sisfur Akira to get better and san said she was furry proud offur my contributions to the family - teamwork she said. It was at first furry boring. I thought "isn't it the little gurl's room? Why am I in it huh? Huh?" But then san came to play and she gave me treats so now its ok....although not too long ok cos I get fever if I stay alone too long in the 'gurl's' room.

Just Because

She is feeling so much better and seem to blossom very well. She is still over-grooming but we have seen some fuzz over her hind legs although her abdomen is as clean and unfuzzy-like as ever. She is more able to stand up to the boys (at a safe distance and always under supervision). I was also quite pleased that this morning, when Tanaka was trying to put his paw into her cage, she made a clever move of jumping down onto the bottom of her cage, away from him and then she yawned widely. Before this, she would have screamed at him loudly, which in turn would make Tanaka even more excited. So this morning, both of them we relaxed.

The best thing is that she has started to play and would climb over the boxes with great confidence and last night, she made a loud request to go out for a night walk along the corridor, after a whole month of just putting on her harness and then having to take it off again in a few seconds.

Although this is the second month she is on Revolution and a fish diet, I think the arrangement of letting her out in the afternoons while Tanaka and Megat are sequestered has been very helpful for her recovery.

Tuesday notes and updates

Napping is pretty hard work...

and a thirsty one too. 

Ms Akira is doing quite well with the new arrangement of being outside and she has indicated (by warning growls) that she would like longer times outside. The problem is she would only go outside when I am home although she is at perfect liberty to go out as the baby gates would be open in the afternoon. 

In this case, she would have shorter times outside as I am home late sometimes. When this happens the boys have to stay in the room a longer time. I need to see if there is another way to do this.

Tanaka has been doing quite well inside the room but yesterday he had a slight fever I think from being inside for about 7 hours. On the positive side Tanaka has been much more relaxed in front of her and once had stretched himself and actually yawned and took a nap in front of the baby gates. This is a far cry from his behavior of being on alert every time he sees her inside the room.

There has been only one screaming match between Ms Akira and Megat when both were outside at the same time. But that was my fault for not paying close attention to the both of them. Megat was extremely curious and stealthy and Ms Akira extremely nervous under the covers.

I am also putting Revolution on all the kitties. I had started from last month. This is because eventhough the vets told me Ms Akira has no mites, I was told by a few pawrents that it was only after many months of vigilance (and close examination by their vets)  that they finally found that their  cats did in fact have mites. 

Ms Akira is also taking some coconut oil for her fur as well and I am giving Megat the oil for constipation. I always wonder why all the cats (and dogs) that I had read about that had to take coconut oil loved it. How did THAT happen? None of the amigos would take it voluntarily. I have to give Megat (for constipation) and Tanaka (for his shedding) through a syringe. They get 0.5 a day and I had to just rub some coconut oil at Ms Akira's mouth. She does not yell but this morning, she decided to hide out! Bujang is a little hit and run :)

Just Because

Just Because my two naughty brothers are in their rooms in the afternoons, I can lie in the middle of the living room carefree and relaxed. I quite like this new arrangement. I wonder if I can persuade san to extend MY hours.

The green sleeping pods is mine. If I want, I can get into it. Tanaka's one is purple and every afternoon, san makes sure that he has his own pod in the computer room as well.

Ms Akira's Monday

Yup. She is rather fat. Her fur is soft and luxuriant on the outside but the underside needs work.

Ms Akira is more frisky these days. She is quite vocal about wanting to be out of her princess room and she is eating very well indeed. Her fur is growing again very very slowly. There is a hardly discernible fuzz on her lower limbs but as it is a slow process, she gets to them before they can even make an appearance. I have also put a Felliway diffuser in her room to make her calmer and she has a new cat post that allows her to see the outside. Grandma usually opens a bit of the curtains so she can see the outside and no one from the outside can see her. But she has started licking the underside of her tail :( I would have to ask the vet about the steroids once she starts to bite at her skin though. At present, she has not done that much.
