Belle

Belle was born (might be) on 20/8/2007, tak sure sebab she was delivered kat atas bumbung and masa dia terjatuh dari situ and my better half nak sambut, tiba2 dia macam bounced and kedepek jatuh kat lantai. Alhamdullilah she was not hurt, from that day onwards she and her mom Blackie. Masa masih nursing lagi, dia dah pernah kena warded sebab paws dia terkoyak and I don't have the gut to do the dressing.. Takut woo..

When i looked into the book of Felines, I rasa Belle ni decendent of California Spangled ..yang orang kita suka cakap warna cicak lah..coklat belang lah.. Bukan..bukan..bukan.. California Spangled ye .. Ye memang wa lansi..so where's your pain?

Belle ni since kecil, I perhatikan, she always thought that we are her parent sebab bila kami tidur, she will sleep in between us and asik ikut either one of us. She is quite funny tau, sebab dia pandai pura2 tidur and when kami cuba kejutkan dia cakap "bangun Belle, your friends dah datang" nanti she will tossed and turned and continue sleeping (kononnya). But cuba kami bangun and nak turun bawah or go somewhere, tetiba je Belle akan bangun juga, siap menguap and stretching.. Haha.. Yang kesian adalah mak dia Blackie tu, she always ignore her. If her mom macam nak gurau2, she always gave a snarl.. Belle dulu tak kepala angin, if any of her siblings hissing kat dia, dia just buat bodo and go out of their way.. Very sabar until...

Bila kami decided to convert our small backyard to their (the cats') place, that was our mistake, leaving her with the siblings but allow Baby and Lady to stay inside with us (ada sebab why these two stays inside..nanti ada masa I cerita), starting from that day, her anger burst, dia loves to provoke others.. She really acted macam a rebellious teenager.

I hope when she comes home, she would love the new place that we purposely bought just for her (mungkin bagi Tupai tinggal sekali so Belle tak sunyi) hopefully she will be back to her actual self yang dulu.

Belle, I'm so so so sorry and you must know I always love you darling.

Who's To Blame?

A day before yesterday, masa kami sedang kemas our cats' place, we noticed a small pool of blood near the sinks. Apalagi we start checking each one of them siapa yang tercedera. Found out, it was Belle, Blackie's 1st born.
She was wounded which we thought kat pangkal ekor. When we took her to the Veterinary Hospital at Pinggiran Ukay today, rupa2nya nearly half of her ekor koyak, ada blood clots and some muscle kat situ been ripped.

Poor Belle, I could guessed who are the suspects..kalau tak kerja Sox, mesti Nino, tak pun Hachiko (but this guy tak brutal sangat) or else it will be Jacob. I can't say Belle tak buat salah..actually Belle loves to create provocation to those 4.. sebab dia suka buli Salem Sabenhagen. Those 4 macam Blood Brothers dgn Salem.. (mind you, Belle tu sebenarnya part of their siblings tu, yg tak ada kaitan adalah Hachiko).

Tadi the doctor told us that Belle kena warded for 5 to 7 days as the wound needs daily dressing and for observation takut any serious infection. Gosh, I rasa bersalah sangat sebab tak take her to Emy immediately, but I did hint to my other (can't call him BETTER as he did not heed my suggestion) half tapi biasa lah org lelaki ni semua nya ambil mudah. Pandai plak tadi buat muka sedih..

Belle, cepat sembuh darling, when you come home, we have a new comfortable place just for you and Tupai. Tak perlu lah share dengan the others lagi.

Pada sesiapa yang sudi mohon doa untuk kesihatan Belle ya.

Grief

Today I read a very sad and touching entry about a lovely lady who lost the love of her life.  Her better half was abruptly taken away from her due to a car accident.  It was sad when I read the sentence

“ She could still picture the scene, as clear as day in her mind. She teased him back asking if he wanted to marry another one as suddenly he craved for nasi minyak orang kahwin and he said to her with such love in his eyes & lifting her chin saying how in the world could he even think of having another woman when Allah has bestowed him the greatest woman of all, his beautiful wife”

And

“He was all that she had. There were no off-springs to continue his legacy and for her to be comforted & surrounded in times of loss. When you love someone so much, sharing their joy, laughter, sadness, fears & dreams and to have that taken from you in an instant. No goodbyes...no nothing...”

Similar our marriage, we are not blessed with children, perhaps to others it may be seen as a handicap but not to us.  We have accepted what Allah S.W.T. has prepared for us, only HE knows what is best for our marriage.  In the second sentence, even if the grieving lady has a child, the child’s love can never soothe the pain as she longed for her partner and no other.

Even I don’t really know who she is but being a sister in Islam, may Allah S.W.T grant Jannah to her better half and may Allah relieve and ease her sadness, till they unite again. Insya Allah, Aminn. Al-Fatihah.

(Neuter, Spay) = Kembiri ??

Pernah dengar Neuter and Spay, the translation in Malay will be Kembiri.  Haa dah faham kan.. tapi walaupun sama tapi tetap berbeza.  Neuter adalah digunakan untuk kucing jantan dan Spay adalah untuk kucing betina.  Mungkin for some either Neuter or Spay adalah tindakan yang kejam ke atas binatang.  I have the same ideology too.. (kaki rebel kan.. semuanya nak bantah..hiuhiuhiu).  Tetapi setelah my cats berkembang biak dengan jaya nya maka.. terpaksalah I buka buku rujukan..tanya sana sini.. tanya tentang hukum.. iya lah nak alter hak orang lain ni jangan memain tak pasal dapat dosa free je..

setelah puas hati, maka dengan hati yang tak rela, kami mula neutered the boys and spayed the girls.  Macamana tak buat macam gitu.. dari seekor adult  yang punya anak 1 (actually ada 4 tapi mati 3), which a few months later dia beranak lagi 6 ekor (2 ekor dah beri pada orang) then beranak lagi 6 ekor.  Then 2 ekor daripada anak-anak tersebut dapat another 5 ekor (tapi mati 2 ekor).. so tak lah menahan rasanya..  maka mereka pun dikembirikan sedikit demi sedikit.

 Suasana kembali aman.. the boys pun dah tak mula spraying their urine merata (as territory marker) and buat I hangin satu badan sebab nak lap, basuh and sprayed the area with a special chemical supaya the specific cat tu jangan buat lagi.. tapi yang lain pulak buat.. adoiii.. and for the girls, they stop having heat each month.  Selain daripada itu the boys macam either mascular or badan bertambah makmur.  The girls are much healthier than before.  The most important, there will be no more unnecessary breeding.  Tak larat babe.. memang lah kitten adorable.. butttt….. (yes there’s a but somewhere.. wajib).

After two years, kami dah tak perlu buat decision nak neuter or spay our cats sebab semua dah melaluinya.. and we used to visit few of them after their surgery, oh my, meleleh airmata I, to see them struggling to overcome the anesthetic yang diberi masa surgery ..not a good memory at all.  Alhamdullilah mereka melaluinya dengan selamat, thanks to the doctors and nurses.

After a few years of not cracking our head whether to do or not to do.. kesian dengan aduhaiiii.. maka this year, the decision need to be made as kami ada 3 adult cats (yang kami adopt since last year) satu betina 2 jantan and later 4 ekor lagi akan menyusul.  Lepas ni no more lah.. kecuali rezeki lebih dapat tempat yang punya area yang luas and kewangan yang mantap serta berlebih-lebih then I may consider to open our home to new member yang sudi..

Chokie

My first cat was white tabby with greyish/brownish spots.  Actually itu kucing Ayah saya, kira kongsi kucing lah.. Ayah named her Chokie.  A very brilliant cat, according to my late grandmother, bila Chokie pandai kejut kan Ayah untuk siap-siap pergi kerja, what she did was, she will climbed on the bed and say: dah subuh dah.. bangun le nanti boleh solat subuh and mandi siap-siap pegi kerja.. (haha ni tipu) .. Chokie akan mengiau lah.. suruh bangun.  Bila petang, at around 5, Chokie dah siap-siap tunggu kat depan pintu before lari ke jalan besar untuk sambut Ayah balik dari kerja. Dulu Ayah tak ada kereta, motor Lambretta pun masa tu dia belum beli. I pun belum lahir.. but Ayah and Mak lost their first child that’s my eldest brother a year before I was born.  Agaknya sebab itu Ayah adopt Chokie kot.. just to fill in the empty space before I came along..

My memories with Chokie actually not much.. sebab dulu I just like her kittens je (buruk betul perangai kan..), sebab kecik comel kan selalu curi2 letak dalam poket baju tidur and later bawa masuk bilik tidur hehehe.. Chokie tu setakat I pat her once or twice/day sebab I rasa tak ada close bonding (cewah).. but deep inside I know she is a very obedient cat.  Sayang anak-anak Chokie tak hidup lama.  Chokie punya perangai, when she’s around, no other cat can come to our home.  She really jaga her territory.  She was a fighter.. ingat lagi kepala dia luka sebab bergaduh.. masa tu mana lah nak hantar ke Vet, lagi pun tak banyak Vet clinic and I’m sure bayaran pun mahal.  So my late grandmother or Ayah will treat her wounds with minyak gamat or ubat kuning till luka tu sembuh.  What I can remember she dies due to old age.  Banyak jasa dia kat keluarga kami, selain dari jaga rumah dari dicerobohi kucing lain, she ensure no tikus or cencurut masuk dan menakut-nakut or gigit kami.. dan she was my dad’s alarm clock.

Love you Chokie. 

Tak Kuasa...

A friend of mine wish to read pengalaman sebenar i tentang paranormal ni.. Tapi memandangkan hari dah petang and i karang sensorang kat rumah..so tak kuasa lah nak cerita.. Next change je lah ea.. Thus, don't let your life be surrounded by mysteries...

Tau Tak Apa Itu Kibble

Kibble? Apa ea Kibble tu? Biskut jenama terbaru ke? well itu lah yang selalu I thought off.  I always thought that Kibble is brand for Cats/Kitten biscuit.  Rupa-rupanya makanan kucing or anjing  yang kering yang I dok panggil biskut kucing or anjing itu adalah di panggil KIBBLE (so ulu banat betul lah I ni)

Kibble/s ada bermacam-macam bentuk dari bermacam-macam jenama.  Seringnya kibble yang paling kecil adalah untuk Babycat, as babycat has baby teeth lagi jadi they can’t eat hard food sangat but they need to be trained to chew as it will strengthen the gums and teeth.

Here are some bentuk2  kibbles..

moral of the story, jangan jadi prakkk like me, dah ada 22 orang ekor kucing pun baru semalam tau apa itu kibble.. sedeyyy seyy
