The calm before the storm


 Bujang and Popps in relative calm. 

This used to belong to Bujang. He loved the peace and quiet of grandma's room and her small and tidy bed. 
        This used to be my space
Now of cos Popps rests here. He has not protested as yet. He very patiently has given up many of his spaces and now feels the stress of not having a space of his own. 
      
 He doesn't sit much here at all. 
I do not know if his back hurts him when he sits here so it's taken over by
             And his long time obsession
               
He told Fern last Sunday and he now tries to leave the cats alone as he wants time to himself and to spend time doing things with me. He wants peace and quiet. 

Yesterday, I think he got really fed up with Popps who refused to allow him into the kitchen for dinner and later  they got into a little fight. There was yelling, screaming and Popps 's fur flew all over grandma's room. They both got time out and I got bitten by Bujang on the foot as well. 

He did not make noise to get out from the room as he knew he was in trouble and Popps stayed in her cage the whole time they were on time out. 

Yesterday they both had a session with Craig, a reiki master who is also trying to help Bujang with his back problems. 

Bujang had this to say:
"He said he had enough of Poppy encroaching on his space and pushing the boundaries. He resented this as she is 'nice' but keeps pushing closer and closer."
Bujang spent half of the night sitting close to me and grooming on my blanket. He has not sat this close to me for a long long long time. Cat_aunty said he was sorry for biting my foot and losing his temper with me. He did not even yell the whole of last night and after this, he went to sleep on his fav new sleeping place - the upside down chair. 
Miss Bossy Boots has only this to say
"She called Bujang a bully but quickly retracted this and admitted that she did try to get too close". 

I hope these 2 would make up or at least give each other space.

Megat's new housing situation

Megat staring at the camera...wait till I get you!

Megat in profile...




Megat is getting the hang of screaming for attention, usually at 4 am. It was my fault for allowing this to happen. his voice is so shrill that I can't allow him to yell for long. So once he realises that I would get up when he yells, he would continue yelling for along time until I would let him out of his pet house, where he sleeps in. This morning he yelled continuously for 2 hours and started to bite at the opening flap of the pet house. He had torn the flap to his first pet house and now of course that house was quite useless to keep him (and the boys) safe at night. I had to put him in Bujang's pethouse for the time being. Bujang was very disgusted and refused to sit Megat's house (that I had now put in the living room) instead.
So I went to get him a house made of plastic with a green roof and red door. He would not be able to bite through this house :) The reason I need to separate him from the boys is because he would try to intimidate them. I do not want them to have ill-feelings towards him in turn.
I would like to think that Ms Akira's aggressive behavious towards Megat is just her trying to save the boys :) Her bark is worse than her bite anyway and she would just always scream like a banshee when she chases Megat but she has yet to physically take him on. But I also realise that she would usually leave him alone if he does not stand directly in her line of sight or draw attention to himself. But once she catches the sight of him, well....
