Just Because

Last night I slept on san's blanket. We had the a/c on as San had to close all the windows because of the haze situation. It wasn't bad but I prefer a good breeze. 

Tanaka's Tips for Kombatting the haze

Instead offur our usual TGIF instalment, we thought we should give some useful tips for kitties because of the haze. The hot season is here already and san thought we should have an SOP for ourselves. I helped her to find the right piksures fur us.

SOP 1: Take a nap

Naps are important as they help us to save energy for later (we can use our saved energy to persuade san to play in the middle offur the night)

SOP 2: Drink lots of water. We have 2 bowls of water that gets changed twice a day (for guaranteed freshness) and 2 water fountains. The more the merrier.

SOP 3: Play wif your bruffers indoors as outside is too dangerous fur us and fur our humans as well.

SOP 4: Get a cool space where even the sunpuddle is cool enough to lie on.

SOP 5: Offur course if you like computer games, you can play cat games on the iPad. My bruffer Bujang has his own as the iPad as well. I prefur games like flying and flips. My sisfur just likes sitting on san.

We hope these are useful for effuryone who is affected by the haze.

Haze Alert

Bujang will also have to spend more time indoors. Fern said Bujang has a little trouble with his breathing but its not so serious. This week he spent most of his time indoors or with his cat games on iPad. He loves these games and will spend at least 15 minutes on the Fishing Game or the Art Game before he decides to go do something else. He is very proprietory about the games and will not allow me to participate. Its a good thing the other kitties take no interest in the cat games at all.

We are having a very dry spell and it looks like it will last for a few more weeks. It seems it's the driest we have ever had. With the dry spell comes forest fires, natural or man-made. Indeed this morning we could smell the smoke and realised that the haze is here. So from today, we cannot open any windows nor our door. Bujang has been coughing intermittently but I think its more hairball than asthma. All kitties and people will have to stay indoors. I think if I am to take the kitties for a walk, it would have to be only along the corridors and not downstairs at all. Bujang would not be pleased but at least we could protect ourselves more this way.

Oh No! Monday....

 I am staying here as long as I can today.

Its better to have  a hide-out Akira. The haze may come back tomorrow. The fires in Sumatra are still burning fiercely and the wind may not be in our favour tomorrow.  Its time to close our windows and doors again and no more walks outside.

      

                 And an update

Megat is feeling easy after his morning 12 ml of puréed beef and gravy. He did eat some tuna on his own but not enough to keep up his strength although he sleeps most of the time. He is not as bony as before but we will be going to see Dr Ly this Thursday and we will know more of what to do. I has given him 1.5 ml of duphalac and even that is too much. I am trying various combinations as sometimes I give him 2 and there will be hardly any poo at all.
