Waking up this morning, it is rather unusual that I didn’t see Oyen in front of my bedroom’s door, meowing loudly waiting for the food for breakfast. I tried to shout his name several times, which usually he will come running to me at the time like this (for food).
I found him still sleeping, and when I got near him, he woke up, and started to rub his eyes with his paws. Then when I have even a closer look, I saw this.
On no! What’s happenening to my Oyen? Decided to take 1/2 day leave today to bring him to vet. Sigh! I hate going through the HR department explaining why I need to take 1/2 day of emergency leave. In the past, it’s quite simple. I just need to phone my boss, and she will update that in the system. But now, they want every single leave taken has to go through HR department.
Allrite. Just called HR, and just called my boss. I’m off to vet clinic now. Oyen seems not so very comfortable.
Having 4 cats, it is something that I expected that food will run out quite fast. Managed to go to Pet Safari yesterday (while visiting Ikea as well) to buy food for my cats. It seems more economical to buy in bulk size, rather than doing several the shopping of several smaller packets. So, I end up buying this 7.5kg sack on IAMS.
It breakfast time for my cat today, and they all seems so hungry with the long meow. Bought this big air tight container yesterday too at Jusco. As you can see, Oyen can’t really wait for me to finish storing the food in the container,
and while I go to get the food bowl, I saw Oyen is already eating from the container. Ebot also starts sniffing the food in the container as well.
Anyway, how to make sure that you don’t overfeed the cat, where there won’t eat until it finish (waste), or to underfeed the cat? The lady at Pet Safari is kindly enough to give me this measuring cup (which only given for those who buy Science Plan cat food). There’s a marking there on how much you should feed adult cat and kitten. I use that marking as a guide on how much to give.
Aaaww. Look at them, having breakfast together. They all look so sweet.
I’m getting hungry myself.
In the past, I have blog about Oyen eating grass, something that is believed to have therapeutic effect to cats.
Or maybe eating grass is just Oyen thing. Let put this to a test, since as always, I full of curiosity myself. So the subject of experiment is the 2 feral kittens.
I have been planting the grass on larger scale. So my first subject, I put the white kitten next to the grass. Well, it seems that he starts to nibble on the grass blade, and ate a few. But I cannot jump to conclusion yet.
So here comes the second subject, the orange kitten. To my suprise, this kitten starts to munch those grass as well.
So this grass thing became more mystery. What cat really see the purpose of eating grass is for, except for the therapeutic mentioned ealier.
Taming feral kittens has come to 26th day now. I have already set the kittens loose in my house, to accustom them to the house surrounding. At the moment, the kittens are fine with me handling them in the room where I lock them, but when they are outside, they keep running away from. I think they don’t feel safe when outside yet.
Oyen and Ebot are getting along really well with them. So I have no fear that both will try to hurt the kitten. Oyen is giving the orange kitten a bath, while Ebot sit not very far.
And the white kitten look at them from the top.
And here are some footages that I manage to record a while ago, and over the past weekend.
As promised, the entry this time is about the forth cat that was depicted in the previous post. As a matter of facts, this is a really past tense entry.
On 11th February, me, my housemate and 2 of my friends from Penang decided to go to SPCA. We have nothing to do for the day, and it will be a great thing to visit animal foster house like this, watching cats that they have. I heard of PAWS (Paws Animal Welface Socienty) from a website that I stumble upon on seach engine a while ago, and suggested to go the first.
So here we are, and the enterance of PAWS Malaysia, Subang. Not too hard to find with the map given on PAWS Malaysia website.
Basically, the place is divided into 2 sections – 1 section for dogs, and another one for cats. Well, it’s the cat section that I have interest in. There are quite a number of kittens/cats here, in a well organized and maintained place.
If you are looking for domestic short hairbreed cat, then this is the place to come, as I believe most of the cats are brought here from astray cats that people found. They sometimes have other breeds too, but that depends on luck on whether they have one that’s not adopted yet.
Anyway, it’s rather sad to see how all those cats end up being here. I feel like bringing all of them back to my home, but it is just I cant. But out of all cats, this one really catch my attention. And he is very friendly too.
So I decided to adopt him. So the caretaker there told me that it will be RM30. I didn’t plan to adopt any, and didn’t bring my pet carrier with me. But they have this paper pet carrier sold at RM10. Well, for the sake of charity, I don’t mind paying that price.
So, the next step is to go into the office, and fill in the necessary form. Sorry, I don’t have photo to show, as the person inside is so paranoid with me taking photos inside. Well, I should respect that, and refrain myself from taking any photo inside. Anyway, that fella did ask me why I want to take photo. I just said that I only use it for blogging purposes. Then he ask, what is blog? Err.. What is blog arr? I just told him that it is just my online diary.
Anyway, RM30, it’s really good price. The cat has been neutered, and all 3 vacinnes have been given, and the cat has also dewormed. So, this is the story on how I get Ebot – my forth cat (and this will be the final cat that I will get).
