Cat fart & other stories

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

yesterday, twinkie still sakit pewutt.. pg td, abg bgn n take shower for work. tgh shower, tgk2 ade runny poo yg twinkie left kat bath tub. x penah2 lak die melepas tpt lain selain litterbox die.. humm.. tgk2 cam ade blood drip in dienye stool.humm.. cian die, kene diarrhea ke.. so, i decided to puasa kan die for 12 hrs this morning. tp biase la, bile die merengek x sampai ati lak, kasi mkn die x nk mkn.. humm.. then, i lie on the bed with her n yoshie, smabil berbual2 ngan die. remind me, my mum always bg pesan supaya x berbual ngan kucing kat luar rumah masa kat mesia, sbb die takut org ingat die ade anak dara x betul, cehh! now i can do whatever I wish, yeay! plus my hubby pun sekepala, sometimes he said, we really need a baby to spoil :). but i prefer cat so i don’t have to be there always. plus no tangisan that I have to hear all day, but maybe someday when i really ready, I’ll spoil my kids like crazy..
oh, talking about lying on the bed, tibe2 bau buchukk bgt2, i cek la twinkienye butt in case ade ape2, yoshie’2 too. tade lak.. pastu bau ilang. jap lg dtg lagi, setiap kali dtg bau, twinkie meow, da bbrp kali kene, i decided die ter"fart" kot.. hehe. siap I search on internet about cat fart tuh. rupe2, usually they pass gas w/o noise, but produce deadly smell. Now, it answer all my questions.. hehe, selama ni i tuduh my hubby, even die dok kat ruang tamu, i’m in my room, i’ll said it’s his production, although he said not. who else can it be??! not mine obviously.. heehe, now when I left alone with cats, and i know i didn’t pass "anything," now for sure i can verify it’s my cat pass SBD (silent but deadly) gas.. hehe.. yg funnynye, pas die pass gas tuh, die guling2 ask me to rub her tummy..
I guess, die kene diarrhea coz my frequent tukar food product die.. not sure what to feed them, well obviously not home made food, me myself rarely eat at home. so, kene la beli cat food. start with the cheap food that I usually use in malaysia, Frieskies n whiskas. But Twinkie x suke. change to expensive product, NUTRO, but 2-2 x nk mkn, twinkie use to eat NuTRO at her previous home. kasi Fancy feast, tgk ade meat by product (could it be pork?), sbb da terbeli byk bg die mkn n sediakan sinki khas utk die that i rarely use. Mistakenly i bought a very vet recommended call science diet, and twinkie not even eat it. when I read the ingrediet, it said pork-by-product! melompat kitorg samak tgn and buang pinggan mkn die.. hehe.. then, Yoshie came along, he ate purina one at his previous home. they eat purina one, cheap, but not that much healthy. I thought sbb tuh twinkie start have runny poo. then, try natural made food from Trader’s Joe yesterday. still not feeling well gak.. before ni, twinkie mkn semua bende, aiskrim, buah2an, salami, semua ok je.. x tau napa lately she has a very sensitive stomach.
eh, other stories x sempat lak. da nk kene pick up abg from work. Nk kuar cari extra litterbox and new litter, instead of using scoop away brand (i think it made from clay), we want to use natural one made from corn kennel. sbb clay one is so dusty, not only twinkie n yoshie sneeze masa gune litterbox, me n hubby pun x tahan bile tukar litter die. so dusty, but I’m glad this yr i didn’t get my allergy. so no more $1.50 /pill that I have to buy every week.
Oh yes, good news, I get GTS for next semester. It’s some kind of tuition remission, so instead of paying 10k/semester, I got 50% off. waiting for 100% remission in August.. doa2 la dpt, so x yah bayar tuition.. yeayy!

All about Cats

Monday, June 18th, 2007

I know, I know.. taksub giler kan? haha, but what can I do, I love them all till death! I think ni kene tukar kerjaya ni, kene jd vet ni, so I can play with pets all the time :). saturday ari tuh bawa twinkie n yoshie g jumpa vet for shots. twinkie got 2 shot, one for respiratory (apa ntah panjang bgt nama injection tuh) and other one is Rabies. blk tuh die lemah bgt.. tido jee.. so, i don’t want to disturb her, she sleep on my bed of course. tibe2 die dtg, i was watching tv in living room, die dtg n muntah.. sian die sakit.. of cos I call my hubby who clean it up, well he loves twinkie too :).. then pastuh twinkie still lemah, I’m worried sick about her.. die terbaring je, nk lompat atas katil pun da x larat.. so, we decided to see kalu die muntah lg, esok bawa jmp doktor laa..
then, mlm sikit, tgk die kene diarhea laakk.. tp pas pegi tandas tuh, die da okla. da cam hepi skit. tp still x leh angkat die, bile angkat je, die mengerang, I guess either sakit perut or kesan shots tuh.. tp at least die da ok. da bole main skit2. sunday, die da leh main, but still can’t dukung die as usual. I just give her some space la.. yg funny, tau lak yoshie x kacau twinkie. die tgk je twinkie. nway, Yoshie seems to do very well, maybe coz he get only 1 shot. masa kat klinik, yoshie hissing kat nurse masa nk timbang berat die. funny him, garang gak kucing ni sekor ek, though with mommy n daddy, ngengader memanjang.. he loves to lick us, esp masa kitorg baring. he talks a lot too.. saturday, after reading a lot about cats, I decided to move their plate farther from their litterbox. so, yoshie tuh ape la masalah, die dok kat tpt lama sambil meowing for food :). kene la show die kat selangkah due je i ubah tuh. esok pg tuh, die bgn n again pusing tpt lama die looking 4 food. in early morning at 5 am! isk, kene la pointing food place lg.. trouble tull sekor ni..

my electric bill soar this month. pergh.. I guess because i let the ac on all day. so me n my hubby ddecided to jimat skit with ac, so we set our apt temp higher than we usually do. mlm2, set about 78 F, and turn on the fan in room. tibe2, pg kelmarin we both feel cam dok dlm oven panassss.. rupe2 si yoshie unplug kan my fan cord.. panas tull kitorg, da la fan tuh bermasalah, nk on, take about 5 min nak warm up kan enjin die.. ade ceiling fan, but I have allergy if fan right above my face. annoying yoshie.. then, masa tgk tv kat bilik, again die wat cam tarzan hanging on my tv cord.. turn it off, run to my bedside lamp, turn it on, drinking from my cup, (da x leh tinggalkan mkn n minuman sepah2), n kalu da bosan, run tangkap twinkienye ekor.. he’s a real active one, except when he’s sleeping. even twinkie tido pun die kaco.. sian twinkie, can’t sleep peacefully. but i love him, bile panggil sure die dtg. twinkie kalu kite panggil, die goyangkan ekor je bile die malas nk layan.
oOoOh.. I miss them already..I love their cute cat fight, though yoshie lovess screaming (he has cute voice, not that loud though) that sometime I’ve to stop them sbb sian tgk yoshie kene hempap ngan twinkie, but sometimes, malas nk layan coz he’s the one who looks 4 trouble. :)
I can keep continue bragging about my cats. I love talking bout them, coz they make me smile n laugh. And I’m glad I share the same passion with my hubby. I can see him be a real good daddy, coz everyday comes back from work, 1st thing he does is cleaning the litterbox, make sure the food is enough, and make twinkie n yoshie exercise catching the ball. and then vacuum the room sbb both of them always make mess. then b4 sleep, help me grade papers skit2, sbb 2 ekor tuh start jumping on my bed eating my students’ papers. pagi2, he wakes up, and open a can food 4 both of them. although I complain a lot, "you have to use new clean bowl every time you change the food! kalau food tu spoil, and then they eat, nnt sakit perut." You know cat is like human too, they are clean animal not like dogs (dogs eat tahi tau, esp cat shit, eeww, and you let them licks you?), they get tummy ache too, gigi die cam manusia gak, they have gigi susu, and later tertanggal jd gigi permanent. 32 gigi permanent. and you can train them like dogs too, to play ball and catch with their mouth, twinkie did that, and he carries to ball back to my hubby, only couple of times, bile die malas die x layan..(bola tuh kene la ade hole utk die gigit). and best of all, they purrs to show they love us, and happy to adopt us as their human :). I rather be a cat slave then human slave, coz they make me smile alwayz :)

Yoshi lak

Monday, June 11th, 2007

I think I n my hubby must be crazy. On friday, sbb tade student finish the hw, so my lecturer bg extension to student to turn in the hw later on monday. so guess what, I’m free for the weekend! no grading to do! yeay.. so, coz boring sgt, I g search craiglists and g cari another kitten.. haha.. just then, I decided to get twinkie a friend, so she will not left alone when both of us not home. Crazy me n hubby, we took one small little kitten yg br age 5 weeks, really black one, and messy and funny. that night, when I took him home, 1st thing sure I put him in the litterbox to show where to do all other cat business, hehe, and twinkie was so angry and hissingg.. so, I have to stop her from doing that, coz yoshi was afraid. after that, twinkie keep butt kissing wherever yoshi go. what a penat dayy, yoshi run under the bed, twinkie follow. so we both decide to blok bawah katil kitorg so they can’t run down there. penat sungguh tgh stuffing under the besd, sorg terlepas, angkat sorg, sekoq lagi lari bawah tuh. Maybe we spent like 1-2 hrs just doing the stuffing thing. and then, go 2 sleep.
next morning, I think twinkie forgot about the new comers in my apt. this time she’s growling like I never see before. pagi2 lak uh, end up, I have to put twinkie in the bath room so that she will ebhave better after this. Bila buke pintu tandas, she act good only for a couple of minute, then start chasing again.  but today, yoshi nakal da start to show, die pun sibuk nudging twinkie, ketuk kepala twinkie la. so, it was such a hectic for me. then, at 5 pm, yoshi ilang. lost in my room. it’s very pelik la, mana lak die g ni. call him out, die jwb tp still can’t figure where is he. bunyi cam in cupboard sinki tuh. then, at 7 pm, i realize there is a small hole under that that lead to unreachable place. panggil2 die x nk kuar, that we decide we have to destroy la cupboar apt tuh. start with drilling, hammer knock, bdk tuh x kuar gak. then, keep drilling, I think b’coz it’s so loud lastly die kuar gak dgn abuk kayu penuh kat die. kelaka ade, tensen pun ade. cupboard tuh da berlubang baru die nk kuar. eee.. yoshi the menace tull..
Sunday, dgn selambanye si yoshi tu tido tpt twinkie. twinkie always sleep atas pillow on my bed. aih, ape lagi si twinkie pun merajuk la die. x nk tido atas katil, die tido lak tpt yoshi (I put him with pillow dlm laundry basket tepi katil). coz sian sgt, i x kasi twinkie tido situ, angkat die, then twinkie merajuk lg, die g kat bath tub, tido dlm bath tub la pula.. sayu pulak ati ni tgk. hehe.. even though i think it’s funny though :)..
then puas pujuk, kissing die, my hubby have to give massage kat die (she loves my hubby massage, selalu la dok meow asking for massage, slagi x dpt bising la die tuh), dpt la tido kan twinkie and yoshi in the same bed.
yg funnynye, twinkie da letih sgt tuh, die tido la, si yoshi tuh leh lak kacau ekor si twinkie tuh. and finally they sleep for couple of hrs peacefully. pas bgn gaduh lagi.. tido mlm pun, when twinkie realizes she sleeps with yoshi, die bgn and sleep between me n hubby. Kul 5 pg td, da bising blk. bole lak gaduh atas katil.. ee.. tensen lak. the funny thing is yoshi knows how to turn on my side bed light. so, my hubby kene la tutup side light tuh sbb silau. mmg yoshi ni different, he’s very independent for his age, very naughty, eat a lott, and sleep very little. different from twinkie, twinkie is a follower, die follows me everywhere, she is a lap cat, dok depan pc, die ikut, sleep on my lap, when I cook, she seats on the chair try to see what I’m doing.
But overall, i love both of them. But I can’t pay too much attn kat yoshi sbb twinkie pandai merajuk. You guys have to see her sad face when now she know when I get angry at her, she will seat in the bath tub. sedihnyee.. n yoshi the menace, u have to see him grinning when he able to knock twinkie. (seriously, he’s grinning, I caught one in the picture, I’ll upload in friendster gambar diorg ber2 later). today, I left both of them kat umah lama ni, I hope there is no massacre la blk nnt.. hehe.. semlm da tinggalkan da diorg berdue, tp twinkie decide to sleep in the den/office coz yoshi the king sleeps at twinkie spot. hope slowly they can become friend, kalu x, x cukup tido la kitorg, coz yoshi like to jerit when twinkie kaco die. he’s very talkative. when i put both of them dlm tandas sbb I can’t sleep last time, diorg x gaduh lak. tp si yoshi tuh dok meowing minta keluar. that’s why my hubby called him, yoshi, sounds like kucing jepun yg gangster. and twinkie is really a twinkle in our heart :)
