Wednesday Whispers

 shhhhhhhh....cat sleeping ...

B: san if you can't even focus your camera properly, should you even be taking pictures?

Bujang these days is very patient. He waits patiently for me to take his pictures. This is his red chair that no.one.sits.in if he is around. He has a sixth sense about it and would very quickly spring onto his chair if he thinks or suspects anyone is going to sit in it. It is of course full of tiny holes and tears from his super claws. I bought this chair as I thought it would be comfortable to have phone conversations in and its a choice between red or black. Of course I forgot that red is Bujang's favourite colour as well. and thsi being the case, he decided quite early that he would take sole charge of this chair. It is as old as he is :)

Tuesday Thots

zzz

It is not often these days that Akira even asks to be out from her room in the middle of the afternoon now that Putih is here. She is still a little nervous at being in the same room even with us in the house. This was taken last week when I was home early and she actaully asked to be out in the afternoon. Later when Putih came out to sit by the door, she just sat here keeping an eye out. Akira is a cat who prefers humans than the company of other cats except for Bujang's. She is a peace-loving kitty and only wants to share in the quiet with family around her.

So Tanaka - Give Peace a Chance!

Monday Mood

Just Hanging Out...

Easy Peasy Sunday

We thought we would begin our Sunday post with a short update on Putih. After her very short outside adventure, we had made sure that she is not at the door when we are watering the plants. But of course she gets to walk about at other times when I am at home to supervise everyone. The boys have been very good at their promise of leaving her alone and would only look at her from where they were, which is always away from the door. Tanaka especially has been very restrained and merely hissed at her a little when she tried to enter the bedroom when he was at the door. Bujang of course has been very good and had  ignored her movements. He was not offended when she hissed at him while he was resting on the shelves or near the window. He merely ignored her and continued to nap. She has begun to explore the house again and even went into the other litter boxes although she had used any of them. She had only commandeered the one in the kitchen which no other kitty uses anymore. She has a litter bin in her cage but prefers the one in the kitchen. There has been no more screaming or chasing but maybe that is because I made sure the boys are safely away from the door. Akira has seen her walking about but I made sure that she is safely in the cat hammock or sitting at the cat gym before I let Putih out. I thought it better that they get used to seeing her walking about and she sees that they mean her no harm before I let them mingle more. This has been her second month in the house. I heard that it takes at least 8 months for a cat to get used to another living space!

The kitties themselves have been resting quite a lot. Tanaka is the only one who is always on the lookout for her. Here he was on the bed while Putih was exploring the room. Although curious he was not stressed out. Akira has been spending much more time outside but her overgrooming is as bad as ever and she has broken through some skin although not too badly. Bujang has had a quiet time of walks downstairs and upstairs. Putih told Fern that she thinks Akira is a pampered kitty while she reaslised that Bujang has a 'special position ' in the house. I think if Bujang remains calm it would serve as an example to others as well...I hope. 

Saturday Easy

I am pleased to report that I went for a walk downstairs but I didn't want to get out. There was a man who was washing the void deck. So I just watched him. San also brought me to the playground. It was cooler but then it started to rain. I thought san would just bring me home. She did but then we walked up and down the corridor and looked at our corridor garden. I didn't mind doing that. I had a good morning. 

I'm taking it easy for the rest of the day. 

       Even Putih is taking it easy. 

TGIF

I am just sitting here, away from everyone. This is the best place in the living room for TGIF resting.

Our lives have been very eventful this week but for today, I hope it will be a nice quiet day for loving cats like me.

The Great Escape

that didn't succeed

LAst night Putih attempted her great escape. She very quickly stepped into the corridor when one of us opened it to water the plants.

She is always seated like this or she hangs around the door behind the grills to look at the corridor. We had often wondered what she was looking at.

It was fortunate that once she was outside, she merely walked although very quickly. I learnt from before (when my rainbow kitty Totoro decided to go for a walk by himself), never to run after a cat as it would only scare them into running. She looked at the plants and snooped about. I had to stop myself from yelling at her to stop but I knew that once she gets to the staircase, she may make a run for it. So as she walked towards the staircase, I managed to scoop her up. It surprised me that she didnt struggle very much nor did she try to scratch or bite me. I guess she was in shock to be scooped so unceremoniously. 

Of course she had time-out in her cage with the blanket thrown over it. It calmed her down somewhat. I told her sternly that such behaviour will not be acceptable and she needed to listen more carefully to all of us.Of course I think she may be more than bored and only wnated to look at the corridor for real. 

She has not allowed any of us to touch her at all and she would only tolerate small sniff at our hands. I had thought of teaching her to walk with a harness and leash later but mayebe I will have to do that sooner now.

All in all we were all relieved that she is safely back with us and will now make sure that she is nowheer near the door when we water plants.

A story of boxes and a cat

Can I help you with something?

Monday Mood

The kitties had reiki yesterday and Bujang had this to say about the whole business.

"Bujang said he was quite confused and is not sure what Putih wants or feeling. But he does not hate Putih. He said we should give her another chance, but he is cautious too." Bujang said about Putih "let's wait and see further."

Easy Peasy Sunday

This was what we did yesterday. Bujang went for a long walk downstairs where he ran after pigeons and looked at the world. I took 2 videos of our local pigeons walking about and one of him watching them from behind this bush so he can look at them on his You Tube page. The boys and Akira spent a lot of time yesterday sitting on top of shelves and cat trees just in case case Putih decides to make a run for them when she was outside in the living room. 

This is the only place where I am safe from the white cat!

        Bujang and Tanaka sitting away from the door. Akira was inside the room. 

I put some Bach remedy on her ears before letting her out yesterday and some in her food and water. I think she has decided that THIS is where she wants to be all the time. But this is also where all the kitties like to sit as there is a nice breeze and they get to look outside. She is very calm when she sits here but watch out anyone who tries to sit here when she wants to. Last night she wa sitting here calmly when she noticed Akira in her night cage as it was about 10.30 pm and Akira wants to get inside at about 10. She stared at Akira moving about the cage intently, her whole boy still. Usually she would just leave Akira alone but yesterday she took one step towards her, hissing  a little. 

I put her on time out as Akira was already very wary of her and would not stay outside alone, even with Putih in her own cage in the kitchen with the door closed. I didn't think I should take an more risks with Akira and her nervous over-grooming issues. 

My lesson fur this time is this. "watch out behind you! THAT'S all I say about this!"

Saturday Easy

This is the best place away from the white kitty. My Saturday will be easier here. 

I have not found a good place to rest for today. Why did the white cat fight with me yesterday? I was just hanging out minding my own business at the door. I thought we all have to share san?

This is the safest place in the house. I plan to be here today. 

I seem to get into trouble quite a lot here. 

For the week she had run after Tanaka twice, once well into the bedroom. Yesterday for no reason that I could see ( but she may have perfectly good reasons) she flew at Bujang and fought with her claws! It was not something I have ever seen in the house with even Megat ( who was a comcat as well). So she got time out but I think it's best we try from the beginning and not allow her to roam about the house so soon. So she slept in her cage under a blanket like the first time she was here. She complained a lot and Bujang actually came to sit near me when he heard her. She spent the night in her cage as well instead of the kitchen. She will have to stay in the kitchen like before until everyone ( especially me) calms down for a bit. On Sunday Fern will talk to everyone to see the new situation. But of course if Bujang does not mind being  near the kitchen to eat, that means he is trying again to be her friend and so at least she will have one friend here.
