It’s been a while since I last wrote about my cats. So, how are they doing? They are doing just fine, and lying down and being lazy are what best that they do.
It’s official. I have changed my cat’s food to Blackwood. If you didn’t follow the earlier story about this, Royal Canin Indoor is just ridiculously expensive to use.
All my cats seem to be adapting well already to this brand, despite Ebot’s resistance initially, and the usual Oyen’s soft feces when his dietary is disturbed.
Ouch! The recent price hikes for Royal Canin cat food really force me to start finding different brand. Used to be RM190ish for 10kg pack of Royal Canon Indoor, now it’s around RM220ish. That’s RM22 per kg. I know for sure that my cats don’t like IAMS, and Science Plan not doing any good to the smell of the feces, I was recommended to Blackwood by the shopper. Huh. Never heard of it.
But after reading on the net, this brand received quite a good review also. And it’s RM90 for the 7.5 kg pack, and that’s RM12 per kg. Price wise, looks a lot better for my pocket. But now it is a matter of my cats like it or not. So I bought the smallest 3kg pack first for a trial. So far so good.
Keeping cat as pet is not for everyone, especially to those with asthmatic. Cats groom themselves very often, and in the process, at the loose hair will fall and starts collecting on the furniture or wherever they landed. And they just like a fur producing factory, where those fallen fur got replaced so quickly, and the process go over and over again.
Still remember the red Bastis Pet Bed that I got from Ikea, which I converted to free flow bed?
Well my cats just know how to fully utilise that, especially Oyen.
This bed has become a place for him to day-dreaming,
and also having a good afternoon nap.
Well, once in a while when Oyen is not using it, Uneng is also using it for resting,
and what other best thing to do than to sleep in this soft and comfy bed.
Here is Oyen again enjoying his sleep in this bed at different occasion than before.
With this frequent usage, this is what happened. The bed is so full with cat’s fur.
And every people that have cats for pet really know the nightmare of removing those fur from cloths or furniture. Vacuuming it doesn’t help as the static charge of the furniture surface sturdily hold cat’s fur to it.
Well tonight, I want to introduce you to my best friend when doing the chores of removing cats fur from cloth, something that I got from Mong Kok’s Ladies Market from my visit to Hong Kong 2 years ago.

Do you see the slider next to the handle? That slider determines in which direction that you should brush. If the slider at this position, then you brush up.
And if the slider at this position you brush down.
With the brushing motion you made, it will pick up the cat’s fur along the way.
To clean the brush, I just wiggle the slider up and down several time, and eventually all the cat’s fur that are picked up by the brush will be collected in the container.
After several round on brushing, and emptying the container when its full, this is the result. I have to warn you what you are about to see is quite disgusting. LOL. See, I can built another kitten with that amount of fur.
What a slow weekend for the human being in this house and other creature alike. Just spent the whole of yesterday and today at house. I receive No Hari Raya open house invitation yet for this year. Hhhmm…
Been accompanied by Oyen now, which I hardly can see my monitor screen as it is blocked by him. Got nothing to do, just doing a few photo snaps of Oyen sleeping in front of me.
