Sleepy Sunday

zzz...

cat cd...

I had written about this cd some time ago and had reported that I would try and see what would happen to the amigos once they heard it and I must say that after 3 days, it is very effective at calming down the boys. I listened closely and heard warm purring sounds emanating from the music and the music itself is calming to the sprirts, even mine.

I thought of trying this out when we had a little accident - my bed (which was already many many years old) gave way with Toro and Tanaka on it. It scared all of the boys so much that they spent the rest of the time wide-eyed, added to the fact that the aircon people came and rattled them already. Then I realised that if the cd works, Cousin R could play it for them at night as I would be away for a week. Then they would be calm and fall asleep without me :)

It has worked like a miracle and I do not need to play the classical tunes from online radio all the time. It really works:)

It would also set my mind at rest as eventhough Cousin R would babysit, I know Bujang would make quite a rcaket if things are not the way he thinks they must be and his yelling would wind up Toro, Tanaka and Cousin R too :) I would be in Langkawi and would not worry about them for at least a week :))

On the homefront...

What is that noise? Stop it please...

This evening, the aircon servicemen came to repair and service our aircon system. This morning, to mu surprise, I woke up to a wet floor and noticed that my aircon system was leaking water. The boys were all rattled by the disturbance, except handyman Tanaka of course. However after they left, the boys gradually crept into the living room and relaxed except Ms Akira who is even now sitting on my lap. She has refused to eat and did not want to run about in the living room as she would usually do at this hour. She is a very nervous kitty but has now quite visibly relaxed. It remains to be seen if she would get out of the computer room later though.

Warm hopes for Max

Hmmm...fish is still mah favourite...

We are hoping and purraying that Max gets better. It seems that Max is not well at all and the toxins in his body had thinned his gut lining. This is why he may be hungry , may eat but will vomit out his food. Maybe that is why he is also getting thinner. I have never heard of this happening to any cat. He is now eating some fish but cat_aunty and max's person will gradually mix the kd as well. Eat well and keep on fighting Max.

Dec from Jimmy Choo...

thanks cat_aunty...

If only ...

life was this easy for Bujang and I...

I am NOT talking to you...my nails are my business!

The Snow Effect...

san says that since I already looked like Santa and its going to be Christmas, we should have the snow effect on our blog eventhough we live in sunny Singapore. So she went to butterflygirlmsblogdesigns and gotted some fur us :)

Saved again....

Tanaka sleeping away rainy Wednesday...

The one who was supposed to be in the carrier ...zzzz

Rainy Wednesday saved Toro from being hauled to the groomers. I put out the carrier and immediately Tanaka stepped into it and took a nap :) Toro was blissfully unaware of the fact that it was actually for him and spent his time napping in the rather cool Wednesday afternoon. But Friday is only two days away...

Classical Music for Sleep please...

zzz...

I guess the experts are right in saying that cats prefur classical music. Bujang protested loudly and long when I was listening to some pop music as I complete my appraisal for tomorrow 's meeting or this afternoon's to be precise). Tanaka was wide awake and Toro was very restlessly pawing my toes. As I was asking Bujang to be quiet I remembered that cats liked classical music and so got onto a free channel for them and almost immediately, Toro closed his eyes and rested on his blanket, Tanaka rested on my cupboard and Bujang sat quietly on the rug in the bathroom...and I can continue with my work. Excellent!! although I myself do not like classical music all that much.

We are bruffers after all...

These 2 just had a little spat and now they are lying here together...easy as pie :) I had to make sure the top of this cabinet is quite empty so they boys can sleep on the warm surafce when they want to. Bujang is in his favourite spot and Toro likes putting his head on my router sometimes .

Right now he is warming his tail on it :)

Monday morning calm

Yes san..I am just minding my business. It looks like a cool morning...

I fink there will be no vet today. san is going to work...yippee!

Monday Morning Skirmish...

I want this fur myself...have to get rid of Bujang...

What to do? What to do?

Poke 'im...He hates that...

Hey you! Stop it or else!

I dun believe it...he actually got off! Hee..hee

Now what is he doing?

Hmmm..what is inside?

Lemme open it wif my nimble paws!

and he did. Bujang and Megat like opening this little cabinet just to see what is inside although the inside never changes :) It was a surprise that Bujang did not insist on staying on the cat tree. If not Toro would get it for sure :))

Huh? Is it time for bed already?

Ok..you have 10 more minutes...and then its really time for bed....

Goodnight Sunday

Bujang last Friday after his host duties :)

Bujang on Easy Peasy Sunday...almost the same...hahaha

Bujang was very tired last Friday from having to entertain all our guests for Hari Raya Haji. When the last guest left, he immediately fell asleep until its time for bedtime. He has always taken his host duties very seriously.

No!

Toro sulking at dinner time...

This evening Toro refused all the wet food that I tried to give him - the Fussiecat, salmon and tuna, the BURP salmon and gravy, the Natural Balance. I even tried to give him the IAMS chicken dry food. But he said NO to everything. So I told him that in that case, he would have to go without dinner and walked out of the kitchen.

He spent the next hour sitting with grandma :) but later came to the kitchen to ask for food and ate his IAMS chicken without further tantrums. The amigos have decided that they are fed-up with Orijen and so I had to find a suitable substitute for them that everyone would eat. Everyone eats IAMS Healthy Naturals Chicken Of cos Megat eats his own renal diet but he is very partial to Orijen. He gets a little bit of Orijen and mostly Walthams Renal and some wet food.

You never know...

...what can happen on easy peasy Sunday...

so I had to wrap myself around this cat tree...

I heard san telling grandma I have to go to the vet for my annual check-up...

I ask you. Do I need a check up? I have checked myself and I am well san...

Easy Peasy Sunday

This Sunday, it is too hot to chase the boys so I am just going to laze about...ohh..yeah.....

Thanks to our friends at the poupounette for giving us this award :) They are very generous and had given us this award that their friends Petey, Virus, Hyssing and Bajas over at The Wrigglebutt had given them.

It is truly a blessing that Megat, our 13 going on 14 FIV adopted kitty, is in remission from lymphoma and every day that we spend with him is a blessing. He is getting his mojo back and has discovered the joy of play and chasing after the boys :)

We are passing this award to our friend Spencer who is taking care of his person Cat-aunty and Max who is doing well. Now Spencer is also taking care of Hat. She is a real trooper.

Neighbourhood cats

This is a very fat tux I saw when I went to the doc for cough. She is VERY fat and her fur very silky. The people seem to like her alot and she seems to feel the most comfortable in front of another clinic LA. I think its because one of the assistants in that clinic loves cats and works for MCats, a cat shelter in T. Here she is eating some orijen on one of my bills :)

She would aonly allow me to take her profile and she has a most distinguished one. these 2 pics are blurry cos its taken with my handphone.

This is Minah and she is looking fat and healthy if a little dirty. But she is fierce and tolerates no messing around so no one has been able to clean her up.

Here Minah was contemplating some Christmas shopping. At least I had some use for the junk mail.

Nostalgia

I found a picture of Toro from about 2 years ago. I think I took this when he was with us for the first 6 months. He was already 1.5 years old. He looked much fatter than he is now although he is now 5.5 kg at the last weigh-in some months ago. I must say he was handsome then and so much more handsome now :)

We meditate on our good life...and

give thanks...

Our list is furry long but san says to just make notes offur the fings that we remembur...
We give fanks fur....

1. grandma who is doing furry well except fur her purple eyes. She looks furry fetching...
2. dr l who has taken care offur Megat furry well. Megat is in remission but he is furry naughty and always wants to bully me. But since he is still here wif us...I give fanks fur that even...
3. cousin r who helps san and grandma and plays wif us. She also gives us toona when san has to work late and she helps san feed the kommunity kats...
4. our toys...we lurve them all...maybe not so much the fling-a-ma-string..thing..err...you know...
5. our cans and cans and cans of lovely toona...
6. the fact that all offur us have a roof offur our heads and don't have to live outside...where the rats are bigger than my bruffer Bujang...
7. our medikasions..although none offur us likes them...
8. our furry quiet lives :)...

That is my short list...also we give thanks that tomorrow is Hari Raya Haji and hope that san's sisfur n and her male bean are safe and sound in Mecca...

Inspection

Hmmm..its ok for Megat...but this is NOT fur me...

Its too small and cramped. I wonder how Megat sleeps in here...

This morning, I decided to leave the door of the cage unlatched and before I knew it, Bujang got in and started to sniff around. I was curious to see what he thought of it but I guess he did not think very much of it as he did a 360 degrees turn and got out again :) He had used the litter once or twice though. I am always amazed how such a big cat can use such a small bin and neatly too.

Thursday rains

Yup I need to get cosy. Its going to rain. I can feel it...

Ms Akira had no problems with shut-eye...

A nap is good after the fling-a-ma-string session san. I like it but not too much...

Thursday afternoon rained on us. The days have been getting wetter and wetter. of course this is no surprise as its November, our rainy season. The kitties are all warmly tucked in. We do appreciate the fact that it rains only in the evenings and the mornings are fine.

Fling-a-ma-string is here!

Package from international checkout...YAYYYY!!!

This toy came highly recommended by moderncatdotnet. I thought I should get it for the boys.

Alas...all they did was sniff and touch. They did sit through cycles of hypnotic string movts though :)

Fling-a-ma-string in action

Toro is the only kitty in the house that genuinely likes the new toy. Its quite hypnotizing - the sound as well as the movt. The movt is not random enough to attract the boys all the time. They just sit there staring at it, up and down :) Not one of my successful purchases I must say.
