Saturday Easy

Now that san is back I can rest and relax.  Taking care of everyone was too tiring for a cat. No shut eye at all. 

TGIF

San is coming back from camp today and life will go on as normal. It is really TGIF fur us. We can take a nap wifout worry. I must tell san that we did our jobs well and deserve a gazillion treats. 

Tuesday Thots

I am spending my time with san wisely as she will be going to camp for 3 days! I will not be able to have quiet time with her and will probably spend most of it in my room. Oh dear...

Monday Mood

Monday ALREADY? I dun believe it!

Easy Peasy Sunday

For our first formal entry for this year I thought it best we have our own say. Here I am sitting on what used to be my rainbow bruffer Totoro's favourite seat by this window. It was his favourite as it is the highest seat and he could be left alone to rest. One of the sides is no more as I had accidentally kicked it and san decided that it would be better like this and easier for a cat like me to get into. Tanaka sits here sometimes as well to get away from Miss Bossy Boots. 

The bottom has a hidey hole but none of us had ever used it. It is too close to the ground for safety and comfort. 

I don't usually sit here in this cradle as this seat belongs to Bujang and no one crosses him. Yesterday I got into it as he was busy sleeping the effects offur his  acupuncture session. I am trying to find my way again in my house as the white cat keeps chasing me. No, I don't fink it's the same as me chasing Akira. San seems to fink that I should be more understanding offur my sisfur Akira as I now know what it feels like being chased. It is NOT something I am prepared to comment on at this time. I am only glad I don't have to go to fur acupuncture eventhough I have some kidney issues myself. San is giving me parsley water in a syringe once a day fortnightly with 2 weeks off. All three offur us excluding Akira is on a renal diet. San told me that she would consider what steps we have to take once my June blood test is done. Please purray that it will be better as I don't fancy the pokeys. 

San says this is a good picture to see all of my beauty :). It also shows my tail. The mom at Katnip Lounge asked me if my tail is kinked at the end. The answer is no. I have a short tail and some white fur at the end of it. The only cat with a kinked tail is my bruffer Bujang and offur course my rainbow bruffer Megat. 

Ok. It's time fur me to rest and relax. I am also giving san my back as she told me next week she has to go to camp for 3 days. I don't see why the human beans can't take care offur themselves and need san to babysit. I am not pleased. 

I told Fern that for the first time in my life I have a family who loves me. It is also the first time that I had so many toys to play with and I sometimes forget myself. I am also trying to find my way and am having some difficulties with territory and relationships with the others. The difficulty is I want to expand my territory and power but san thinks I should try to negotiate rather than intimidate. These days I get many more time- outs as san said I should never sneak up on the others when they are resting as family is where everyone feels safe and secure. I now have 3 bells as san says it's only fair that everyone can hear me and so the field is quite equal for everyone. She said I was a warrior cat before but now I need to be a family cat. I am learning slowly but I know this is where I want to be. I now am not allowed in my favourite red cube. It's a long story that I will tell in a later post. 

This is still my favourite pose. It tells others that I am not a cat to tangle with. 

I still hope to be able to sit quietly with my family without getting chased my my bitter Tanaka and now by Popps. I know she tried to sneak up on me several times as I heard san telling her to stop. I do not mind the acupuncture sessions much and am better at eating my meds. I now have more fur on top of my head and behind my ears. My fur is also growing slowly. I try very hard to stop biting my skin but I sometimes can't help it. At the acupuncture sessions I try to comfort my brother Bujang as he is still scared of the needles. Yesterday I had 3 new needles for my 'chi' to flow better. I know it will be a long process but I trust san and the needle doc. I know the needle doc likes me and he thinks I am a special cat as not many cats would allow him to poke the needles without fuss, actually I did not make a fuss at all. san usually sits close to me and sings us both a lullaby as we sit together. I am looking forward to be a calmer cat this year. 

We hope that everyone of you also had a good week into the new year. We wish for everyone happiness and joy. 

Just Because

These pictures were taken on the first day of 2015. They're just for fun so it's the amigos Just Because pictures all in one entry.  Just to give thanks for the new year :)

TGIF

Today san went back to work. The rest offur us just napped and played at home. San gave us breakfast at 5 am. We were glad as it is never too early for breakfast. San came home at about 3 and we had some time together. Now it's time for a nap. Thank goodness it's Friday and we all look forward to the weekend. 

New Year 2015 Resolutions

I am just going to go on as before, only with more fur. 

Today is a good day for napping. I can't think of any New Year resolutions at this moment. 

san says I should make a resolution about being braver at acupuncture sessions. It's easy for her to say as she doesn't have needles poked into her body! But I would like to have less pain on my back. 

My resolution is to rule the whole house. I am not called Miss Bossy Boots for nothing! But I think san has other ideas. I am always on time out these days. 

Akira 0.1 (10) and Bujang 1.0 (5) Acupuncture Protocol

This is now what our sessions are like if these 2 are together. Akira is always concerned about Bujang and would try to stay as close to him as possible. Even when he yells loudly and turns about wildly in his carrier, she remains cool and calm. As she thinks the sessions 'are not too bad' for herself, I hope she can convince Bujang that it will be the same for him in the long run. 

Bujang continues to be upset at the acupuncture sessions. Dr O and I thought it wiser if he uses the towel to prevent Bujang from lunging at him during the needle-in session. It has worked somewhat, but the doctor must always be aware of where Bujang's head is as, like  a snake, he can lunge out from under the towel to take a bite. But this has not happened yet and yesterday Dr O thought he was a 'good boy' as eventhough he was turning about and growling the doc managed to put in all the necessary needles. 

He has about 7 needles (only 6 shown here) and these are for his back and kidney. He told Fern that he 'could tolerate' his back pain and didn't like being disturbed. But he is already 12 years old and I don't think I like the idea of him even having to tolerate back pain if I can make it less painful or even help him get rid of it. It's a good thing Dr O is used to cats and knows how to avoid getting bitten and he allows Bujang time to rest and relax in between the needles. Bujang likes the heat and would move about to get as much heat as possible on his back. It's just the beginning and the ending that is fraught with danger. 

At home I see him running about with Tanaka but he no longer jumps up on things as much as before. It may be his back pain is affecting him and he cannot jump up as much but at least he is running about although for shorter periods of time. 

Akira continues to do well and there is new fur slowly growing on the outside of her limbs and even at the back of her ears. Dr O noticed that she had very little fur on the back of her ears on the first day we started these treatments. I think it's because she scratches them really hard. She has however bitten through her skin once or twice again. Nevertheless her fur has grown much softer. The doc said its the effects TCM and acupuncture. He said sometimes the colour of the animal would also get brighter. That seems like a good thing but I am content if she stops biting through her skin. The fur is still very short and fragile though and I hope she doesn't lick them off any time soon. 

                                       A: I will try san but I don't promise. 

We will end out post for the last day of 2014 with wishes of light and joy to everyone for 2015. Happy New Year.

Easy Peasy Sunday Thanks

This week we would like to give thanks for the many days that we have with san and she with us as she didn't have to go to work for about seven weeks since it's the end of year school vacation. We know that next week would be the last few days that she has to spend so much time with us so we give thanks for this. We also give thanks for our annual checkups as eventhough we didn't have excellent blood tests we know san will do everything to help us. After all 2nd stage CKD is not bad. Only Ms Akira had the all clear and for that we are very thankful. Okay, san says we should be thankful that we could even get annual checkups because some kitties and people don't even get any the whole year round. 

I want to talk about my acupuncture sessions. I do not like them. I don't understand why my sister does not mind getting poked by needles. The only thing I liked about it was the heat. I know that I needed to get alternative care (san says so - alternative care. SHEESH) for my back and kidneys. I am about 12 years old, the vet said. san says she can't pill me or make me eat my medicines by hand and so she thought of acupuncture and TCM. I do not like the new mixture but do not mind the kidney one.  Even though I have to do this and I don't like it, I am still thankful that I am able to get help. I also want to than Adrian, my osteopath for helping me still as I did scratch him two treatments ago. Sorry Adrian. 

Okay the next segment of this post will be by Popps. 

I want to give thanks for having a house and people who love me. I love all my toys, especially my squeaky mouse and play with it all day. But san has decided that I needed to rest as well and in the afternoon, she makes me go back to the kitchen to rest if she doesn't see me resting in grandma's bedroom. She told me that if I do not rest, I get cranky and would slap all the other kitties and pick a fight. I told her it was just for fun but she said that I had to discipline myself as well. I like my new bed in which I sometimes sit in front of the door and I am grateful that nowadays san puts it in the kitchen at night for me to sleep in. You can see me sleeping in it in the family picture. I am still not used to sharing my things and I did have many skirmishes with the rest of my family but san said its a learning experience for all of us. I am glad I have a family and told Fern that so my family would know. 

san: 

With this note we wish everyone a good Sunday and know that we love all our visitors and give thanks for each and every one.
