One Entry with many stories :)

~Nimra~

Salam and hello to all our friends…

It has been ages since our last entry. We are all very busy with our routines. For me, I spent most of my time hanging around outside. I like to be alone at the empty house, which is a few houses from ours but umie doesn't like it. She prefers me to stay at home. For umie, almost every weekend she’s out to other places. Even now, she has already got her flight tickets for the next weekend to Alor Setar, Kota Bahru, Kota Kinabalu and of course to Johor Bahru.

My entry today be about few things that occurred since the last entry. Here they are:

17 February 2011 – Umie made an appointment and took Chiku to see Dr. Tan. Actually umie got to know about a new antiviral for FIV and FeLV. However the antiviral was still on trial. Umie managed to get the vet's contact number and she rang Dr. Tan to get more info about it. Dr. Tan gave the antiviral and umie has to feed Chiku 3 times a day. It’s already a month since Chiku took the antiviral, it’s difficult to say if the antiviral is working because Chiku’s condition is still unstable. One day he looks very well and after few days he'll look ill. However umie has tried her very best and hopes Chiku’s FeLV will be cured or the least he gets better. Before umie leaves to Johor Bahru, umie will take Chiku to see Dr. Tan again. We hope to get good news from him after he diagnoses Chiku.

24 February 2011 – In the afternoon, umie stopped to buy a coconut drink when she saw a stray cat looking for food. She took some cat food from her car and fed her. When umie walked back to her car, the cat followed her but umie couldn't take her home. However at night, when umie picked up Kakak, she told her about the stray cat. Kakak asked umie to go to the street where she saw the stray cat. At first they couldn't see her but later when umie took out some food and called her, she came out from her hiding place. Umie decided to take her home and now she's become one part of our big family. Umie named her Nimra (tigress)

6 March 2011 – Umie took Auni, Yoruhime, Alif, Khayla and Nimra to the vet. They were to be spayed/neutered. Alif was the first one to be neutered and he was doing well. Khayla's turn was after Alif's but when the vet performed the surgery, they found that Khayla was having an ovary tumor. Beside that she also had a big tumor near her stomach. The vet called umie to enter the surgery room and told umie that Khayla'scondition was very week. The vet told umie to keep praying and hope that Khayla's surgery will succeed. The vet took almost 3 hrs to take out and clear the tumor. Below is the picture of the tumors taken out from Khayla's tummy.

Thanks to God, Khayla's surgery was successful and also Auni's, Yoruhime's and Nimra's. All of them are now doing very well. However before the stitches were removed, all of them had to stay in the cage for a week. I felt sorry for them but I couldn't do anything to help them out of the cage. After all, it's for their own good :) Below is the video of Khayla during the surgery.

9 March 2011 - Romie managed to get out from the toilet window in Kakak's room. Ayah could'nt catch him, he ran away. He got lost! All of us were in panic. umie wasn't at home and Kakak had to look for Romie by herself. Kakak was lucky to have Chiku accompany her to look for Romie around the neighbourhood. Kakak was so proud of Chiku because although he was not very well but he still walked with her. However sometimes Kakak had to pick him up and carry him because he seemed too tired to continue walking. Kakak gave up looking for Romie and she told umie that she couldn't find him. Umie asked Kakak to close all doors and look for him in every room. Finally just when kakak collapsed on the floor, Kakak found Romie hiding under the table in Kak Adik's/Xing Yun's room. Romie... he's been naughty as well...but Angel and CP are very well behaved.

15 March 2011 - Ayah helped umie to take Auni, Yoruhime, Alif, Khayla and Nimra to the vet clinic for suture removal. Luckly Ayah was there to help because the vet just couldn't handle Yoruhime and Alif because they were so aggressive. Ayah helped to stroke them while umie had to help hold their legs. Auni, Khayla and Nirma behaved very well. Now all of them are free to play around.

16 March 2011 - Nimra went missing! Umie and Kakak were so worried but Ayah seemed so relaxed. He told umie not to worry because he knew that Nimra would come back. He said, Nimra would not go away because she now has a place to stay and a family to live with :) It's true, early in the morning, when umie woke up, Nimra was already in the house and sleeping on her favourite spot.

22 March 2011 - Alif was so aggressive since he has been neutered. It's is the opposite from what umie was told which was that a neutered cat will be more tamed and behave well. However it's not the case for Alif... he being very naughty... he keeps attacking other cats especially Xing Yun. It's so sad that Alif attacked and chased Xing Yun. I was not around to help and protect Xing Yun (as I mentioned earlier, I always hang around out side). Luckly umie managed to catch Xing Yun and put her back in her room. Sometimes Xing Yun likes to go out from her room but every time she goes out, Alif would attack her... She got traumatised and she even scratched umie when she tried to run from Alif. Hopefully, Alif will not attack Xing Yun anymore because Xing Yun also needs to play out side too.

24 March 2011 - Chiku's health is up and down :( One day he seems very good but the next day he looks very weak. Ayah helped umie to drive her to Dr. Tan's clinic in Puchong because umie has no confidence to drive on her own. Chiku was diagnosed having jaundice but Dr. Wong (Dr. Tan was away) said that Chiku's jaundice is very mild. She gave some liver tablets and also the FeLV antiviral for Chiku. Umie has to take him to the clinic after a week.

26 - March umie went to Johor Bahru/Singapore to visit Kak Adik, Kak Baby and umie’s parents in Singapore. Romie and Angel are in Johor too. Kak Adik and Kak Baby wanted to have one of them each and they will belong to them. So CP will be Kakak's white cat (I am her beloved black cat hehehehehe).

31 March - Again, Ayah drove umie to dr. Tan's clinic for Chiku's check-up. Chiku's still having the mouth ulcer due to the FeLV he has. However, Dr. Tan said that Chiku's ulcer is recovering although it will to take some time. Chiku was given some other medicines and also continues with the FeLV antiviral.

Tomorrow, very early in the morning umie will fly to Kota Bahru. She will be attending her friend's wedding reception. She will be there for only two days so we don't have to worry :p

I guess that's all I wanted to share after more than a month I did not update our blog. I will try to update more frequently because now I spend more time at home. It's raining almost everyday so I prefer to stay indoor. I don't like to wet my fur and I might get cold...

OK friends... until we meet again, have a nice day and take care.

Hugs from Mahzuz and 'the gang'

OMG! Who are they???

Reni & Chin Peng (CP)

Salam and Hello to all our friends...

I was so surprised when I got into the house. I saw 4 new faces! in the cage. They are gorgeous and make me feel jealous >:I I wonder where they came from so I went to ask umie to get more information about them. Umie told me that they were given by their owner (auntie Sue) because her daughter is asthmatic and allergic to cats. Therefore, reluctantly auntie Sue had to give them up for adoption. However she wanted to give the cats to someone that could look after and love them truly. Umie was introduced to auntie Sue and they made an arrangement to drop the cats to our home.

The mummy cat : Reni

The mummy cat is already booked and her new owner will pick her up later. The other three will be staying with us because Kak Adik and Kak baby wanted to have one of them as their respective pet. It means that they will take care and be responsible for the cat. Kakak will have CP to take care for and it seems that CP can get along with Kakak very well. For me, I don't really bother about other cats in the house because I know umie's love for me will never lessen :P

The ladycat: Angel

They are very fluffy and much more bigger than me :/ Kakak doesn't want them to be cooped up in the cage, so Kakak put them in Kakak's room so that they can roam freely... At first umie thought that they could stay in Xing Yun's room but as usual Xing Yun will never welcome any other cats. So we'd better not take any risks. Even though the cats are next to Xing Yun's room but Xing Yun doesn't know about them because Xing Yun doesn't comes out. We are not allowed to enter Kakak's room and I am not happy with it. Anyway, later I could understand why umie and Kakak don't let us go in to the room.

The mancat: Chin Peng (CP)

I would like to introduce them, the mummy cat is Reni, the golden coloured one. The daddy cat is Romi and he has two odd coloured eyes. The other mancat is Chin Peng and kakak seems to like him very much. The other ladycat is Angel and she is really pretty. All of them are so well behaved. Umi doesn't want them to get out because she doesn't want them to "sweep the floor with their bushy tails. They stayed quietly in Kakak's room but sometimes they try to get out from the room. They were named by their owner. I guess if umie's the one who will give them names, it will be something very human-like ; like mine, Alif, Auni and Khayla :p

The Daddy cat : Romi

I guess it is enough for the introduction as I just got to know them for a short while. I will talk more about them when I get to know them more ;)

Until we meet again. Have a nice day and take care...

>Hugs<

Mahzuz & gang :)

We named her Khayla :)

Khayla: the medicated cream was applied on her face and body :D

Salam and Hi to everyone...

As some of you might know, we are all still very sad with Envy's death :(( Of course we could not easily forget her, especially umie... after only 6 days after Envy went to the rainbow bridge, a female cat suddenly appeared at our back door. We've never seen her before, we don't know where she came from... the first time we looked at her, we felt sorry to her... she really needed help but it was very unlucky that none of the nearby vet clinic was open due to the Chinese new year break and long weekends.

Umie asked Kakak to feed her and make sure that she will not run away. Umie did not cage her because umie didn't want her to be scared or traumatized. On Monday, umie and kakak took her to the vet. She was given an injection to cure the fungi on her face. She also had a burn scar on her body and her paws of her left hind leg was chopped. However the vet said it was self healed :(( I cannot and do not understand why someone could do this to an animal. Sometimes I wish someone would do the same to those people, what they have done to those poor animals (I have gone through it before Kakak met me), but I know it is not the correct way...

Khayla: her hind leg's paw was chopped and burn scar on her body :(

After 3 days she was given the injection and applied some medication cream on her face and body, she is now getting better. Yesterday Kakak washed her because she was a bit smelly :/ and she even stayed the whole night in the bed room. Umie just let her roam freely in the house to let her feel that she is now safe. Hope she will get better and get back her prettiness :p Umie also found a nice name for her --> Khayla (it means PRETTY).

* Auni still continues having her cold and Alif got scratched on his left eye but he was given the eye drop and we hope he will get better.

Until we meet again in another entry, we wish all of you a very nice day...

Happy Chinese New Year 2011 A Year Of The Rabbit

Salam and Hello to all our friends :)

We would like to wish all of you a very Happy Chinese New Year... especially to our friends who are celebrating this special festival :)

Xing Yun (the Mandarin Chinese word for 'lucky') was posing and wearing her cheongsam and the rabbit's years special for this 2011 Chineses new year...

This year the Lunar New Year falls on February 3rd and it is the most important festival of the traditional Chinese. The Chinese New Year consist of a period of celeRabbition, starting on new year's day. It means that the new year will be celeRabbited on the fisrt day of the month of the Chinese calender.

the Rabbit is the fourth of the 12 Chinese zodiac (Rat, Ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig). Ancient Chinese believed there was a rabbit living on the moon.

In Chinese culture, rabbits can be used to symbolise the moon. They could see it on the shiny full moon on mid-autumn day (the 15th of the eight months in the Chinese lunar calender.)

.

Rabbits, especially ones with white fur, are also a symbol of longevity in traditional Chinese culture. The ancient Chinese believed it was the incarnation of Alioth, the brightest stars of the Triones.

It was said that people born in the year of the rabbit are the luckiest among 'the 12 animals'. The rabbit is a symbol for mercy, elegance, amiability and worship of beauty. People born in this year are kind, speak gently, peaceful, quiet and loving person.

Until we meet again in the next entry, wish all of you a happy holidays :)

Love from all of us :-*

Mahzuz and Co

Rest In Peace Envy Darling... :((

Envy's grave :(

Salam & hello to all our blogger friends...

We would like to thank all of you for your prayers and purrs given to Envy. It is really sad that Envy has now passed over the Rainbow Bridge :( The vets already tried their best but God loves her more... Umie felt very sad that Envy passed away in the vet clinic :(

If only we knew that our time together was near, we would have done things differently. We would stay the whole night next to her but we thought she would be alright :( Never came across our mind that Envy would leave us this soon.

Envy dear, you will be missed... All the sweet memories we had will stay deep in our heart. We want you to rest in peace... Kak Adik and her cousin were digging Envy's grave. We want her to always be near us although she had passed over the rainbow bridge. Therefore we buried her in our small yard next to our beloved Itni.

Now Envy could play withh Itni and the other over the rainbow bridge. Both Envy and Itni rest next to each other...

Last hugs and kisses for our beloved Envy... Umie will miss you very much because you massaged (paw knead) her every day... After 30 years (umie lost her cat that could paws kneading, then you came and now you left...) Who will replace you? when will umie find a cat that is very sweet, lovely and clever like you?

Bye darling Envy... Rest In Peace...

Prayers and purrs need for Envy

Envy lost her weight

Salam and Hello to everyone...

We are all very worried about Envy. She's already warded in the clinic for three days due to the jaundice :( We really hope that she will recover because from the vet inspection, her jaundice is a bit serious. All her body is very yellow including her toungue, gums and eyes :(( that's not a good sign for those who are attacked by jaundice :(

Envy in the vet clinic

Umie did not notice Envy having this health problem because she did not show any behavior change. She would walk with umie to her car every time umie goes out and she would wait for umie when umie came back... She would also massage (paw kneading) umie everytime umie rests on the sofa. She even ate as usual although, umie noticed she ate with a very slow pace. Umie did not suspect anything because we like to get bored with our food so we would always eat very slowly :p

Mahzuz: I lost my weight too :(

However, when Envy massaged umie for only a few kneadings, it seems very unusual so umie asked Kakak to check if Envy was having a fever. Kakak noticed that Envy's ears were very yellow and umie got very panicked! because all the vet clinics were closed. Umie and Kakak had to check on Envy every hour and gave her isotonic water to make sure she would not get dehydrated. Luckyly Envy could still survive until morning.

.

Umie took Envy to the vet and hoped she would get help. Since all of us needed our regular deworming, while Yoruhime, Alif and Chiku needed their vaccine so umie took all of us to the vet too! For Auni, since umie took her home, she is still not very well. Umie has to take her to the clinic again and again :(( Hope she will get well...

Here are our pictures during the visit to the vet clinic :)

Yoruhime looks like Xing Yun and for this visit, Xing Yun refused to take picture :p She can't accept and still doesn't likes the new members of the family :(

Auni has been not well since she joined our family and we really hope she will be healthy. Today umie will take her to the vet again. If she's still doesn't shows any improvement, the vet will give her a 'stronger' medicine :/

For our big brother, Chiku which is having FeLV, he's maintaining his health but his mouth ulcer is still there and he seems to be suffering it so much. Umie has to feed him with some medication everyday and it's not an easy job as he's very fierce and doesn't like to eat his medicine.

Mahzuz: Thanks that I am healthy although I lost my weight

At the moment, me and Xing Yun are fine... we just need our regular deworm and vaccine only... hope we will keep being fit like we are now :)

Until we meet again... Hugs to all >:D<

Love,

Mahzuz and the 'gang'

Alif - our new member in the family :)

Salam and hi to all our blog friends :)

In this entry, I would like to introduce our new family member, ALIF ( which means; good friend). He joined our family last week. Umie took him home from Skudai, Johor which is almost 350km from here. Umie thought that he's so special because he came from no where, and suddenly jumped on umie's lap when umie was waiting for Kak Baby from her school.

In my previous entry, I did mention umie and ayah going to visit kak Adik and Kak Baby because they are now schooling in Johor. While umie was waiting for Kak baby to finished her class, from no where came Alif jumped on umie's lap and was as if 'looking for something'. He acted so funny that umie just couldn't stop laughing. He nuzzled at umie's and sucking as if he's milking with his mum :p Umie said that she just let him did it until kak Baby came out from her class.

Alif's behavior attracted other people who were waiting for their children and some of them thought that Alif was umie's kitten and they thought Alif was acting funny and cute. Some of them took pictures and videos from their phone of Alif 'breast feeding' with umie :D It's really funny isn't it? Umie just couldn't bear to leave him there because umie knew that Alif was missing his mummy so much. Therefore umie decided to take him home.

It was quite a long journey from Skudai, Johor to here but Alif behaved very well. He did not feel scared at all. Umie said he just sat at the rear seat quietly until they arrived home. He's is really funny because he still keeps looking and doing 'the sucking' every time he wants to sleep. Even though actually he's just sucking at umie's clothes but umie still has to treat him. Umie said he reminded umie of those days when umie breast fed our human sisters :p

That's all about Alif, we hope he will stop acting like a little kitten. Now I guess that you all could see from our pictures that we are wearing our new collars. Finally umie managed to complete it but umie decided not to use the colours as umie planned before. Umie thought that we could share the colour so I shared with Chiku, Envy shared with Xing Yun and Auni shared with Yoruhime. It's only Alif that hasn't got any yet because umie has yet to get the alphabets from the shop first. Umie bought the alphabets before Alif joined us...

Now our family is growing... and maybe it will grow bigger. Please pray for our good health so that we will not burden umie with the medical bills... Thank you :) Until we meet again in the next entry. Wish all of you a nice day.

Take care

Love from us,

Mahzuz and the "gang"

New Collar

Yoruhime: Can't wait to put on her new collar :p

Salam and hi to all our blog friends :)

In my last entry, I mentioned about the collar that umie and kakak were doing for us. Here are the collars but until now we still can't have it yet because umie and kakak still need to do the finishing touches :p There are different of colours and of course mine will be the Yellow because it suits and match with my eyes and contrasts with my fur :P

Yoruhime can't wait to have it... She keeps playing with it while trying to complete it so we can wear it :) What i notice is, the collar does not has any bell so it's good because umie and kakak will not be able to hear me when I am walking :p I am not sure if umie will get us bells and put it on the collar too... I guess it will be 'over done' and will not look nice :p

We have to wait until the collars are really completed and put on our necks :p Let us wait and see... Ok everyone, until we meet again, take care...

>hugs<

Mahzuz and the gang :-*
