Update for Megat

This is Megat sitting on my chest. I have to wrap him up in a towel when putting in the suppository in his anus. Then he needs to be restrained for about 30 to 40 minutes for the lingzhi to be absorbed. It's a long process but we are used to it. 

We had spoken with Dr Ly regarding Megat's care. He said it was ok not to continue with the vincristine as we don't actually know for sure if it would be as helpful for him now. So we discussed other protocols. 

He has put on more weight and is now 3.49 kg. I was quite relieved at this as I was afraid he may not have eaten enough to sustain his organs. Of cos he still needs to be hand- fed in the  mornings. 

Megat is on Éprex as he is anaemic and we need to go back this Saturday for a blood test and his PCV. Dr Ly said that if he gets worse suddenly I needed to bring him in for a blood transfusion but he is holding on, much to my relief. 

I guess I will have to discuss it with Bujang as he had given blood for Totoro last year. Of course Bujang blood type is A. I do not know Megat's blood type at all but I hope I do not need to know that. 

Just Because

san took many pictures of us together yesterday as it is not often that I sit with her long enough for any picture to be taken. We know this picture seems overexposed but its one of our favourites. I am looking much better these days and am more carefree. I didn't know we were to have visitors last Thursday. I asked to go out but san told me I needed to stay in my room. When the visitors came, I was glad to be safe and unafraid as I knew no one would be allowed in to disturb me at all. All in all I had a restful time.

Easy Peasy Sunday

         Wow! What long nails you have !

   

        Can you actually fit in there? It's a        miracle!

               I like grandma's bed too !

I like watching outside with san and feeling the cold breeze. Rain on Sunday is good when you are inside , safe and warm with people who love you and whom you love. 

We hope your Sunday is all that you wish for. 

Saturday Easy

We had 2 busy days to celebrate Hari Raya and our 48th National Day. But today we are feeling free and easy. 

We went for a short walk along our corridor. 

  

   

  

    

 Bujang spent some time watching the corridor for signs of guests but the other two were just catching the breeze. 

       Megat spent the time just relaxing. 

He was eating rather well the last 2 days but today he just licked at the gravy in his food bowl so I have him 15 ml of no grain chicken. He has his VitB, marbocyl and his cyproheptidene. 

We expect the rest if the day to continue slowly and easily. 

 

Phew! One over

Yesterday was quiet hectic with guests. Megat knew it was going to be a long way and began the day with a whiff of wheatgrass. He was a very good host and made an appearance every time there was a new wave if guests until

I had to put him in my bedroom to rest. 

He even allowed one of our guests to carry him and cuddle him. He sat quietly while the guests kissed him and spoke to him. :)))

Then he even ate a whole dinner by himself. 

He ate more than he has eaten these many days. I think it may be it was the cheer and the noise. It made him hungry. 

Tanaka of cos spent his day being admired for his energy and his bright colour. He was quite exhausted from it all

                        zzzzz

                In other news ....

   

       What's that san? Will it hurt us!

It's National day and we have one more day relaxing :)) enough to make up for the hectic time we had yesterday. 

Selamat Hari Raya

 We have something

 to

 say...

Selamat Hari Raya and may all be well and be blessed...

We would like to include our brother from the bridge in our thoughts and our wishes for a blessed Hari Raya.

Decisions

This is an old picture of Megat - taken in March of this year. We will try to get newer pictures of him this evening.

Megat had one round of vincristine last Thursday as the vet said there may be some tumours lingering in him from before. It seems even if the ultra sound is clean, there is no assurance that he is clear. But he did not do well with this round of vincristine and so we have decided (Megat and I) that we will not do any more vincristine.  

Having spoken to Dr Lalani and other cat parents, I decided that we will just work on the constipation problems as well as the appetite issues. He has just begun to eat a little for dinner yesterday and even this morning, he had tried to eat some. However I had to continue feeding him by hand for the past months and I am so happy that he had finished his kibble last night.

So the plan is to just allow him to 'observe, rest and relax' and enjoy his days in peace. A 17 year  old kitty deserves at least that much :)

Easy Peasy Sunday

We are all ready for next week. We will be helping san with spring-cleaning the house for Hari Raya but for now we are just taking a deep breath. 

Easy Saturday

The weekend is here and everything is well. There is nothing better than that, we think. We wish everyone a restful weekend. 

TGIF

          I llike being on top of the world. 

A cat's work is never done

Especially when Hari Raya comes around.....

                  Hmmmmmmmm...

I am helping grandma choose her colours for Hari Raya. The end of Ramadan is next Wednesday and grandma needs new clothes. 

Ok grandma. The green one is better for you.
