Confusion

Poppy is having a very difficult time with our lodger Rezki. We have been trying to comfort her and explain the whole situation with her for a month (that is how long Rezki has been with us). She feels that he has the potential to make her life more limited in terms of space, time and attention. All this is true of course, especially space as she shares the kitchen with Rezki but we try as much as possible to give her as much time in the kitchen as possible and Rezki is only allowed into the kitchen when she is napping in the study. 
Rezki on the other hand is a confident kitty and has learnt that this is a good place to sit and view the space. He walks in and out of rooms fearlessly and shows great respect to the resident cats, especially Bujang. Even Akira showed no fear when he took a peek at her on the couch. But he is only allowed out under close supervision and when Popps is asleep in the study with the gates closed. He has never been allowed in the study so Popps would have peace of mind there at least.
He is still in the house as we have to give him SubQ twice a week (if possible) but once a week is compulsory. He is also going to acupuncture twice a month as recommended by Dr Oh. So this is the only reasonable solution for now until his kidneys get better or as near to its normal function as we can get it. He is now eating his tcm like the rest as in this way, we can ensure that he gets the full dose.

Thursday Thots

This morning San is on medical a leave for cough. She was coughing so much her colleagues begged her to go get help and she did. So we went down for a short walk. I had a good time enjoying the quiet with San. 
     Me watching the world go by
I also like bicycles as they smell of distant places.

                         Love
Cody's mom drew this picture of Popps for us. We are grateful for her talent and generosity. Popps told Fern that she does not  like Rezki as he is a stranger and is not 'clean.'  I think she is so used to everyone (except Bujang) getting a daily wipe down after their tcm  that she expects all cats to be as clean. She is such a funny kitty.

Easy Peasy Sunday

This Sunday we were all very sleepy and had naps. It's our celebration of May Day. 
    
It's so hot so Bujang had a nap near the window for the breeze. 
    Tanaka as usual is alert for playtime. 
     Ms Akira just did her own thing. 
After screaming at Rezki she wa so tired and took a nap. She said Rezki did not smell good :)

I am thankful that everyone is well and happy.

Saturday Easy Blessing

We have renamed him Rezki meaning blessing. It is not often that a black cat can even be photographed well and we were blessed with this. He is looking very handsome and this was after his SubQ yesterday.

Blackie Update

Blackie went to the vet for his review. I was pleased to know that he is hydration is better and the vet was pleased that he had lost weight. In 2.5 weeks he had gone from 4.9 to 4.75. The vet advised greater loss though.His BUN values are within normal range but his creatinine remained constant at 2.8. His phosphorous is at 4.1 so that is ok. 

The vet said that he should do fine with just once a week SubQ although he prefers that we do it twice a week. I asked this as I would have to release him back to the car park as Poppy is extremely upset that he is with us. She would scream and yell when she sees him and of cos her territory is curtailed as he needs to be in the kitchen. Kidney disease is long-term and can be very expensive as well and so I do not have much hope that anyone will adopt him with it.
He will be in the car park next week after his acupuncture session but we will be able to keep a close eye on his progress, for which I am grateful. We can do the SubQ at a quiet place downstairs and catch him for his acupuncture treatments as well.

Helping San on Wednesday

   
Ms Akira would usually sit by me in the morning before I leave for work. She will be on my bed waiting for me to finish dressing then she will sit here doing her own morning grooming. She is just a dear kitty.

Thankful Tuesday

Whenever I hear about scary stuff I hide under my blanket. Yesterday something scary happened and something even more scary could have happened - but didn't. 

We are very thankful that our friend Big Nose was saved from pts (high likelihood because of his age) at the spca. Sometimes karma works to make everything come together perfectly- that cat_aunty saw the post, that cabs were available and Rainbow Spencer came to help. Sometimes things are just perfect. We think Rainbow Spencer is doing an extraordinary job where she is.

Just Because

Just Because we had not had one of these for some time.
