My Gotcha Day

Happy Gotcha Day to me~~~~

But I still get no respect!!

Good news Saturday

No it has nuffing to do wif us although we are furry healthy, which is good news :) I am just sitting up here this morning thinking about offur kitties, like the kitty in the pikshur below. His name is Smokey and he is 11 years old. san and many catmoms have been trying to find him a home and finally yesterday he found a new furrever home.

Smokey is an 11 -year old Scottihs Fold indoor cat and needed a new home as his mom can no longer take care of him. Good Luck Smokey!

Now that he has a home, we are no longer worried although san is still a little worried as he is an old cat and would need special care. san was sad as she could not bring him home as there are 5 offur us already (but I am not sad as this is MY home and I need my space). But we will purray for Smokey as he now has 6 offur bruffers and sisfurs. Good Luck Smokey!

TGIF

We are just lazing about as usual on Friday afternoon now that _all_ of us are home. Life is quiet, which is the way we like it. But this morning san was busy taking our pikshurs. We had had 4 days of no pikshurs and the sudden fury of it all exahusted us, as you can see from this pikshur!

Totoro: This morning I had to take _all_ my medicines! In the morning! It was a painful time but then san gave me a treat which made it all ok :) So I posed for this pikshur.
Huh? There was a treat? Why didn't I get any?
That is because you were not taking any medicine Bujang! I got a treat as I allowed san to clean me up. I do this every morning for the treat. Surely you didn't think I did it for the fun of it?

I don't like treats! san usually give treats when she wants us to do somefing funny - like take medicine, wipe our fur, clean our ears, brush us. Phooey! I dun like any offur that!

I get treats every night when its time fur bed :) I dun have to do anything - just sit on her lap all day :)

No, you have to do so much better than that!

and who_are_YOU?

I came home from a short holiday in Pahang, West Malaysia to a very chilly reception from Toro. He refused to have anything to do with me and kept running off as soon as he thinks I am coming.

Then after about 45 minutes, he decided I had enough punishment and pawed me for attention and brushing :) The other boys took it all in their stride and came to say hello with Tanaka making me give him an extended session of under_the_chin scritches. Ms Akira was calm and steady and took a long sniff before decided that I was ok:)

Our Fav 5 from Cat_Aunty

Hat, looking good and handsome as ever...
KiKi has been up to no good, decorating the neighbours doors with vomit:)

Darling Barley is fat and healthy.

Spencer is off on holiday and who can blame her? She has many things to take care of and needs to get away from the noise...

Mera is going steady.

We are all very pleased to see everyone as it has been some time already :) Everyone is looking good.

Its raining again...and again...

Time for a nap...maybe a very long nap for today.

Its December and so we would have rain sometimes for the whole day. The amigos have decided to spend the day napping :). Today, its one of those days when the rain falls continuously and slowly - a whole day of rain. Poor Bujang will have to spend the day inside as the corridors are also wet with the rain.

Wednesday Walkies

Bujang stalked about this morning when he went for a morning walk. He didn't like morning walks much, probbaly because the smells and sounds were different from what he was used to.

Bujang the Super Stalker...
of pigeons...

But he doesn't ever try to catch them. He just likes running at them and stops just a few feet away just so he can watch them fly :) We try to go for morning walks as the rains come in the afternoons and evenings. But he spends more time in his carrier watching and listening than than outside though but I think its worth it just taking him downstairs :) In december, which is just tomorrow, we may not even have this luxury as sometimes it would rain for a whole day!

Vet Verdict for Totoro

Totoro's vet visit was a mixture of good and not so good. The blood test was good apart from the 2.5 indiactor for creatinine. He is well-hydrated and his PCV is 35.5 5. The US was good and bad. His left kidney is stable but his right kidney has more stones although it is less dilated than before (4.6 compared to the previous 5.6). Dr S said that the dilation was the more major thing to look out for and as his kidney is less dilated now, that is a cause for celebration. The really good news is that all his other organs are fine and his bladder is clear of sand and his urethra is also clear. However, 2 of his kidney stones have increased from 5 mm to 6 mm! Dr S was very positive and she said he is ok and if nothing else happens (like blood in his urine) he should be back for a review in 6 months.
Dr Ly was pleased that he is stable and gave him an additional pill - a Urinary Acidifier to try to dissolve his crystals as we do not know for sure if his crystals are struvite or oxalate. He said it would not impact his kidneys in any way but it may allow us some conclusions. We have to come back in 2 months for an US to see if the crystals have dissolved. If not, then at least we know they're not struvite crystals and take it from there. I am willing to try this as the pill is very small and we could go forward from here.

Easy Peasy Sunday

Toro would be on his way to the vet tomorrow for his ultra sound and blood test at 10.00 am. We are seeing a new vet for his ultra sound, Dr Sabine and of course he would see Dr Ly for the blood test and review of his meds. He would have to fast at 10.00 pm - no food and also no water. I think he would protest very loudly and so would the rest of the boys!

Self-Portrait in Sunlight

Yup, its about me :)

Happy weekend effuryone...

Thankful Thursday

We do not celebrate Thanksgiving here but today I had much to be thankful for as for the first time in many days, I went down to the park. san broughted me to a different park full of ixora and butterflies. It was very bright and hot but san decided that we should make a try for it before it rains again.
This is what the park looked like at about 11 am. No one was about as it was getting hot and the runners have gone into hiding.

san attached the clamp to a little tree. She was afraid someone might take our transport and she could not run after them soon enough. But nothing like that happened. Thank Goodness!

I walked about under the ixora shrubs. I did not walk very far as it was a strange park but it was quite and peaceful and I liked that very much.

I saw some stuff...

A cobweb but no spider.

An orange butterfly...

also in the midst of collecting nectar :)

Then it got really hot and san broughted me home. We took the long way and crossed the road at the traffic light :) THEN, in the aftrenoon it RAINED! I was glad we went out early.
