You Will Forever Be Missed

Hello everyone. Sorry it's been a while since the last time I post some entry in my blog. Both of my blogs. Been busy with stuff and emotionally not good. So yeah. Based on the title you can guess that I lost someone. You know that someone is an animal; a puppy to be precise. Well, I lost Cookie on 29th November 2012. She didn't die in front of me. 

I was at Taman Melawati the night she died. I met Ida to pass some stuff for MAHA event. I have that feeling to visit her since Papa Meow live in Taman Melawati. But I think it's too late that time, I must be disturbing him by visiting him during that hour. So I went back. I got some calls from kak Kimi and Ida. When Ida called, I thought she just want to make sure that I already at home safe and sound. When kak  Kimi called, I thought she wanted to tell something about the event. While I was driving, I kinda heard she said Cookie died. I was shocked. I said let me call her back later since I'm driving. It's about 20 mins from my house that time. I didn't reach my home yet cause I was too anxious to know is it true what I just heard or is it just my thoughts. I called kak Kimi back, she said one of the follower posted a picture of Cookie. Papa Meow couldn't contact me since his phone was broken and lost all of the number. I tried to contact him but couldn't. 

When I parked my car, I didn't straight go to my pc looking at the picture. I called Ida and asked her what did the follower posted. She told me what the follower posted. Including Cookie's picture. I cried badly on the phone. I don't know what to say. I brought all my stuff upstairs and read the post. I can't barely see the picture that time. She died together with few other dogs that has been poisoned by someone or accidentally ate poisoned grass. So I wrote something on the comment. It's it Bahasa. Sorry it's a bit small. I copy paste and can't manage to make it bigger. 

Dear Cookie,

Walaupun kita bersama tak lama, Mummy happy sangat bila tengok Cookie happy. Mummy ingat masa bawak Cookie ke One Utama punya park. Walaupun Cookie pakai leash, Cookie nak jugak lari2 main kejar2 kat taman tu. Walaupun orang pandang serong kita. Mummy happy sangat tengok Cookie happy.

Masa 2nd vet visit kita untuk deworm dan vaccine, Cookie nampak reflection Cookie dalam cermin dan Cookie bark kat reflection Cookie. Comel sangat Cookie time tu. Pada mula nya vet kata kalau keadaan kaki Cookie makin teruk, vet akan amputate kaki Cookie. Mummy tak nak, kaki Cookie kene amputate. Mummy nak Cookie macam puppy lain main2 lari kejar2. Walaupun Cookie ade kecacatan, tu tak menghalang Cookie main macam puppy lain.

Masa vet kate kemungkinan kaki Cookie kene amputate, mummy tak pernah putus asa doa kaki Cookie supaya cepat sembuh. Mummy usaha untuk cari kan kaki palsu untuk Cookie. Mummy tak serik tanye vet dan cari kat internet. Walaupun kebanyakkan vet kate better amputate kaki Cookie, walaupun Mummy bukan vet, Mummy tak nak kaki Cookie kene amputate.

Masa kita pergi buat consultation kat satu vet nie, ade budak kate Cookie busuk. Yea Cookie memang berbau. Tapi bagi Mummy, tu memang bau Cookie. Bau Zoe lain, bau Cookie lain, bau semua haiwan bagi Mummy lain walaupun deria bau Mummy tak setajam Cookie.

Tiap kali ke vet, Cookie mesti nervous. Mummy pangku Cookie atas riba Mummy. Ramai orang pandang serong kat Mummy. Tapi Mummy tak buat jahat pun. Mummy cuma nak tenangkan Cookie dan Cookie nampak tenang atas riba Mummy.

Masa 2nd vaccination Cookie, vet kate kaki Cookie elok, semakin baik. Mummy bersyukur sangat2 yg kaki Cookie tak perlu amputate. Vet kate boleh buatkan boot/kasut untuk Cookie untuk tampung kaki tu. Mummy dah cuba buat, tapi Mummy masih tak berjaya buat. Mungkin Mummy perlu belajar lagi.

Dari first time Cookie naik kereta, Cookie asyik muntah. Mummy tak pernah marah Cookie. Walaupun kereta Mummy sometimes berbau, Mummy tak kisah. Kalau berbau boleh spray air freshener. Cookie tak suka naik kereta, tapi Mummy nak bawak Cookie ke vet untuk rawat Cookie.

Mummy dah buat macam2 plan untuk Cookie. Mummy nak bawak Cookie untuk swimming therapy, nak ajar Cookie lari berhalang tu so kita boleh masuk competition, bawak Cookie jalan2. Tapi Allah lebih sayangkan Cookie. Mummy redha. Walapun kita bersama hanya seketika. Mummy happy sangat dengan Cookie, Mummy sayang sangat dengan Cookie. Cookie tak boleh baca ape yg Mummy tulis. Mungkin Cookie boleh rasa ape yg Mummy rasa.

Mummy dah buat yg terbaik untuk Cookie. Papa pun begitu juga. Sayangnya kami kat Cookie, Allah lebih sayangkan Cookie. Sekurang-kurangnya Cookie dapat kasih sayang, tempat teduh, makan yg sedap. Tak perlu berteduh di tong sampah besar sebelah pasar lagi. Kat atas sana Cookie mesti happy dengan kawan2 Cookie, adik-beradik Cookie, mummy dan daddy Cookie.

Masa Mummy jumpa kak Ida beberapa jam lepas kat Taman Melawati, Mummy dah terdetik nak tengok Cookie. Tapi Mummy fikir, dah lewat malam. Mengganggu pulak kan..

Mummy tak nak nangis dah. Walaupun Mummy jenis senang sangat nangis, lagi2 dekat orang atau haiwan yg Mummy sayang. Cookie mesti tak nak tengok Mummy sedih kan? So mummy nangis puas2 malam nie, esok lusa Mummy tak nangis dah. Everytime Mummy g tempat Mummy jumpa Cookie, Mummy akan bagi makan kat kawan2 Cookie.

Mummy tak pernah cakap semua nie kat Cookie, Papa mahu pun orang lain. Mummy tau Cookie tau dan faham. Sampai sini saje yea Cookie. Semoga kamu aman di sana bersama meraka yg kamu sayang..

Will always love you
Mummy Dewi Kencana Putri

Yup. I said that the night she died will be the last night I cried about her lost. I always tell everyone who lost the person/animal they love. The person/animal who died don't want to look at you in very sad mood crying non stop for their lost. They want you to be happy. That's what I said to myself. I did cried last few days. I was about to sleep when suddenly Cookie thoughts came in my mind. I was a bit unconscious that time. When I realized I was crying, I wipe my tears and told to myself that I need to stop. I already made a promise and I must keep my promise. 

Just now when I want to sleep, Cookie, Happy, Sunny, Zoe and black female dog image came in my mind. I miss them so much. Cookie died, Happy; someone maybe has adopted her, Sunny; maybe someone has rescued her, while Zoe and the black female dog, disappeared. I don't know where they are. But I'm sure all of them don't want me to be sad. Maybe they said 'When we're gone, you can replace us with other dogs/puppies that need the attention you gave us. Although we only have a short meeting, we did bond a bit, we did play a bit and your love towards us is unconditional. We hope that you give the same to the other dogs/puppies that you meet in the future. Thank you for the love, the food and care that you give towards us'. I don't know. That was just my thought. But what I know is, I missed them dearly and I hope they're in a better place now with plenty of food, love and friends.

Cookie

Happy

Zoe ( brown+black ) and her bf ( black )

I have picture of Sunny but it's in my lappy. The charger kaput already and I can't take the picture. I don't have a picture of the female black dog though.

Cookie's 2nd Vets Visit

On Saturday, I went to pick Cookie from her fosterer's house. We headed to Healing Rooms Subang Jaya. The first 10 minutes car ride, Cookie vomited. Less than 20 minutes after that, she vomited again. Maybe she have a car sick syndrome. There's not much traffic in going to Healing Rooms that day.

Cookie's been the centre of attention that day. Who can resist that cute puppy face of hers. While I was waiting for my turn, came a mother, her son and their dog. The son asked me, 'are you a Malay?'. He looks confused. Confidently I say yes. I hope his mother explain why. Later he was touching Cookie while her mother talk to the vet. When the vet examined Cookie, she gave us a good news that day. Since Cookie's wound is healing nicely, the leg doesn't need to be amputated. Yayy!! I just need to find or make a shoe and socks for her so that the deformed leg sort of have padding on it and make it same height with the other leg. She also got her 1st vaccination that day.

Next we went to Gasing Vet for a consultation. The vet there also said that the leg doesn't need to be amputated. Just get a socks and a shoe for her. Like what the vet at Healing Rooms said. When I was on the front desk, one of the assistant there look at me and Cookie in awe. She was talking in Tamil to her colleagues. I ask them why. Her colleagues said that she sort of stunning when she saw me touching a dog. I explained a bit to her that we can touch dogs. Its just if one of us or both of us is wet when touching, the person who touch the dog need to cleanse himself like what Islamic way of teaching told us to do ( samak ). It's just people's perception in things that makes them thinks that way for generations! While waiting for clearance of bill, a family of three came to speak to the vet at the counter. The daughter said to the son that the dog ( Cookie ) is smelly. Well, I told her this puppy used to be a stray dog, that's why she smelled. With good bath, love and care, she'll be much more beautiful than the rest of the puppy where people buy at pet shops ( well I didn't say this but I intended to say tho ). 

After Gasing, we went to Yeoh Vet for consultation too. Like the previous two vets, this vet also say the same. She asked whether I want to make an x-ray to see whether Cookie have bone infection or not. I was not sure about that but by the look at the vet's face, I think x-ray is unnecessary. She also said it's for reference for the future. Naaahh! I'll pass. 

Before sending Cookie back to her fosterer's home, we went to Kota Damansara; to buy some bandages and also bringing Cookie to visit Num at her store ( Petzone ). There was a family inside there buying stuff and was talking to Num. When they saw me with Cookie, the mum was in real shocked. She said 'anjing' means dog in a very shocking voice. Her daughters also looks frightened when they saw Cookie. They back up a bit. I cannot say much about that. It's people's perception. When the family went out, Num gave Cookie some treats but she chew a bit and spit it out again for several times. Maybe the treat is quite hard for her. We chat a bit and later we went to the fosterer's home.

Inside the car nearby the fosterer's house, I pick up Jackie and she was looking outside. Uncle John's uncle was walking outside the car and she was like want to run together with them. She looked so excited. We went to the fosterer's home and Cookie pee-ed there. She did not say she want to pee or make some hint for me. Or maybe it's just me who don't know the hint. She looks very cute. She tried to chase her fosterer's other dog but the leash enable her to do it. I did told the fosterer about what the vet said about Cookie and I will try to make/buy a shoe for her. Didn't spend much time there as I need to go back early. Enjoy the photos.

Yeah I know that the collar is quite big for her but that's the smallest one I can get.

The cat hissed at Cookie

2 out of 3 of the fosterer's dogs.

Luckily It Was Not Sporo + Vet Visit

When I went back to Tanjong Malim with Jackie ( short name for Jack Sparrow; used to call him Blackie but Blackie is too mainstream for a black cat ), I saw something on Lala's nose. My first thought was sporo. Based on my readings and people's experience, early sign of sporo is wound on the nose. It really terrifies me. But I wait for few days. Seriously hoping that it was just a minor wound.

It getting worst in 2 days. So on Wednesday ( 19th September ), me and my dad brought Lala and also Jack to PC Vet in Rawang. The vet just take a look at Lala and he said that it was not sporo. Just a normal wound. Pheww!!! So the vet provide a ointment to be applied on Lala's wound 3 times a day until there's scabs form on it; indicates that it is already healed. As for Jackie, he got dewormed and normal examination only. He's a healthy boy but he has a bloaty stomach indicates that there's worms inside his stomach. 

Maybe Lala got a scratch from playing with other cats and as always, Lala love to sit and sleep at dirty places like in the litter box. Maybe the wound becomes worse from there.

Black Kitteyh Found On Parking Lot

Yesterday morning, I went to the parking lot of my apartment to feed Grey. I saw him and called him. Like always, he did not have trust on me yet. He look from a far. I placed the kibbles and wet to my car. Just for few seconds, Grey went back under the bougainvillea trees. Maybe he was afraid, so I past by him. But I saw something. It's a kitten!! Grey was protecting a kitten! I wonder where his mom or siblings are. Nope, no one was there except Grey. So I place the kitten on the side walkway. When he walked, Grey followed the kitten. Then I went to my car with the kitten, Grey followed us. I placed her inside a box and bring her upstairs.

Fed him with Royal Canin Babycat 34 ( Simon's leftover ). He ate a lot. After he finish up one round, I gave him more. He also can drink water already. Approximately he is 2-3 months of age. Although he looks fat, but I touch him, I can feel his backbone. Pity him. Big chances of him having worms.

After few hours, look around for his mom or siblings but there was none. Maybe someone had dumped him. I'm not sure. So I took him back to Tanjong Malim. Before that we went to Prtzone Kota Damansara to buy  his food and also some milk for him. I told Num ( the owner ) about the kitten. She said maybe he's a medium hair cat. Num also gave the kitten some deworm for free. So nice of her. It was a heavy rain when I went out from Petzone. Pity us. I was totally wet although I already use an umbrella. Luckily the kitten was inside the box and the inner part of the box was not wet. Then we headed to Nilufar Pet Shop at Old Klang Road to buy some litter sand.

When we reached Tanjong Malim, I prepared the cage for him, his water and food bowl. He love to play with hands. He don't know how to play with toys yet. He seems afraid with toys. I don't know. He smells like tuna. Tehee~ Maybe he ate tuna before I took him in. 

Will foster him for some time. Hoping to get a very good adopter for this handsome kid. Will name him Blackie.

His first round of kibbles. Very hungry.

Callie Have A New Wound

While I was petting Callie last Tuesday ( 4th September 2012 ) night, I saw a wound on Callie's body. The same wound she had 9 months ago, before she was diagnose having Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex or EGC type Eosinophilic Granuloma. 

So the next day, we headed to Honey Veterinary Clinic at Bandar Baru Bangi. Dr Joe has scrapped Callie's wound, look at it under the microscope and it is positive that Callie's allergic came back. Callie's body also become reddish and she's having gingivitis ( red gum ). We suspect the reason the allergic came back is because she became stressful. I think, because me and my family tried to mingle her with other cats ( which she don't like to do ), made er stressful. So after this no more mingling around with other cats. She will live alone which she prefer more.

Dr Joe gave Callie two injections and tried to give a pill to her. Like always she struggle a lot!! She became more stressful than before. So I will give the medicines to Callie at home. Two types of pill/tablet and also liquid form of medicine. Dr Joe also advised to give zam-zam water if ever I can find any. 

The next morning, I crush the tablet/pill to be mix with wet food. It is easier to give her in that form rather than struggling and forcing her to swallow it. Both parties will become stressful. She ate a bit. Maybe because she taste a bit of the medicine, she stop eating it. Well, the night before we had fasten her so that she became hungry and eat all of her medicine + wet food. Although she was fasten, we still provide water for her. 

Just now, when I take a look on her wound, the wound become smaller and drier compare to last week. Alhamdulillah. She have one more week to finish her medicine. Thanks to my dad for giving the best for my cats.

New Dog On The Block

Last Wednesday someone posted on Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better facebook page that he found a white dog who have problem with his hind leg. The dog was there for the past few weeks. The dog is at area where I feed Zoe and her bf. I do wonder how on earth I never see this dog. 

So the next day, after class I bought a can of dog wet food for the dog. I was wondering around the area said by the person who posted it and found out the dog was eating some bone besides this one uncle. The uncle said he has been feeding this dog for the past one week. We chat a bit. 

I saw the dog walking. He can walk with his legs but then, he cannot bend his hind legs. There must be something wrong. I cannot foster him nor adopt him. What I can do is just transport him to the vet and also feed him whenever I'm around. He's a lovely dog. I named the dog Sunny.

My Fate As A Stray Cat

what is that cat doing there? she looks like eating. what did she ate? 

this picture was taken at a wet market somewhere in perak. this cat was eating a mouse. yes, it's a mouse. feel disgusted? if you think by dumping your cat at food court, market or somewhere that you think they can easily find food. yes this type of food they eat in order to survive. 

why did you dump them in the first place? the cat got pregnant, the cat keep on fighting, the cat sprays a lot, i'm pregnant thus i cannot have a cat anymore... familiar with those excuses. well people, SPAY / NEUTER your cat. not dump them when they give you a tiny problem to your life. 

having a/some pet(s) need a lot of patience and a HUGE commitment. pets should be part of your family. not something you can swap easily, not something you can dump when they give you small problem, not something you can throw away when you, yourself have problem with your life. they also have feeling like us. the difference is, they cannot tell us in a language we can understand. 

be a responsible human being.

Zoe Can 'Smell' My Car

Last Sunday ( 2nd September 2012 ), I was walking towards my car at my apartment. I was going back to my parents that day. Suddenly I saw this..

She was sleeping right next to my car!!! Her boy friend was around. When I was patting her, a stranger greet me. He was shocked when he saw me patting Zoe, so I told him that I used to feed Zoe and it's not forbidden to touch dog. It's just when one of us ( me or the dog ) or both of us are wet, I need to clean it thoroughly. That's all. We chat a bit. He said that Zoe was sleeping there for quite some time. Maybe waiting for me? I don't know. But I do want to know how on earth she know that that is my car. She know how my car's sounded like but my car that time was not turn on.

So I tried to persuade her to go back to her place. We took a walk. She loves it. I helped her crossing the road. Suddenly she stopped in the middle of the road. A car was coming. I was totally nervous. I tried to push her but it was hopeless. So I called her, she came to me. Pheww!! What a relief! The approaching car just now, took a u-turn and while he pass us, he slowed down his car to check on us. I don't care. Zoe and I just took a walk. That's all. 

When we reach there, I leave her. I need to go back to to my car. But she followed me. What to do~ So I placed her favourite kibble which is Alpo puppy kibbles on the place she sat ( in front of my car ) and I started my car straight away and leave that place as soon as possible before she follow me. Yes she did followed my car several times. I stop by where I usually feed her and place some kibbles for her.

Seriously, a dog is man's best friend. You never know the meaning until you have a dog. In my case, she's not my dog but I feed her, we are a bit attach together. So yeah..

Stray Puppy Named Cookie

Sunday, 26th August 2012

I came back to my parents at Tanjong Malim and went for feeding around the wet market like I always do when I went back. Suddenly I saw a puppy, she don't have her paw on her right hind leg. I called her, gave her kibbles while I looked at her injury. At first I thought someone tie something on her leg. No it was not. It looks to me like someone had cut her leg.

Monday, 27th August 2012

I have no first aid kit for animals at my house or my car. So I went to Watson to buy some. They don't have much. So I bought a bandage and a clear cellophane type thingy. Tried to catch the puppy but she thought I was playing with her. Yeah, many people stopped their car to look what I was doing with the puppy. That disgusts look. Tried to placed a bandage on her wound, but she ran away with it. Cannot use the bandage any more since it has touched the ground. Then there's came this one lady asking me what I was doing. I told her and she lend me a hand  in treating the puppy. I applied gamat jelly on her wound. That's all I have. I also remove some very small ticks inside her ear. She have plenty of ticks here and there. Especially the small one. With picture I took below, I emailed Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better's Online Adoption Centre to find a fosterer or adopter for this puppy after I bring her to the vet later on Wednesday. The earliest I can go to KL is on Wednesday. So I tried my best in helping this puppy for the time being. After I emailed Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better, they place the ad and I shared the ad here ad there.

Can you see that leg? Sorry, a bit blurry.

Tuesday, 28th August 2012

I managed to get a surgical glove and few other stuff at a better pharmacy. Like the day before, the puppy thought I was playing with her. She ran here and there. Plus another puppy bigger than her also join the 'game'. Very cute but a bit stressful since I can't manage to get near her. She even bite the gamat jelly bottle. She thought it was a toy to play. Then I realise a security guard was looking at us. So I asked him to help me to treat the puppy. He did, he hold the puppy and I applied gamat jelly, padding for the leg and also wrap it with bandage. The puppy didn't like it. I know. But it was for your own good dear. While I was treating the puppy, I told the security guard about what I thought about the puppy and also my intention in bringing the puppy to KL to be treated. Before going back home, I bought a can of wet food for puppy as a bait on Wednesday when I want to take her.

Someone message me on facebook. He said if no one willing to adopt or foster this puppy, he will foster her. Alhamdulillah. He is well known with the name Papa Meow. He also have a blog.

I don't know how to place the bandage. So I did my best. That's the result.

Wednesday, 29th August 2012

I've prepared everything and alhamdulillah Allah ease my journey that day. I made a clicking sound calling her and out of no where she ran towards me. I placed her inside a carrier and place some wet food for her. I didn't use the wet food as a bait though. She just came. All the way from Perak to Subang Jaya she did not bark at all. But she vomited twice. Maybe because of 'mabuk kereta'.

She was infect sleeping almost all the time.

When we reach Healing Rooms Veterinary Subang Jaya, she remain silent. By the way I named her Cookie. I post on facebook if anyone can suggest me any name and Kak Diyana suggest to name her Cookie. Like always, I'm a failure in naming pets. So I stick to that name. It's a cute name for a cute dog.

So the dog was 90% sure that it is not someone chopped off her paw. It's a deformation since birth. Pheww!! When she opened the bandage that I did on Cookie, there's puss there. Indicated there's a bit of infection. Because she drag the leg or accidentally drag it, the wound appear. She said it's better to amputate the leg since the leg might get injury if she accidentally drag it. Puss will come out and she need to rely on antibiotics. Long term usage of antibiotics will harm her kidney. She taught me to how to apply dressing to the wound. I told her that Cookie already have a fosterer. She said that to tell the fosterer what medicine to give to Cookie, change the dressing daily and stuff. Cookie need to be double in size first before she can under go the operation. So the earliest time to do the surgery is one month ( 4 weeks ) from now which is 26th September 2012. The vet gave extra dressing for 2/3 days before I buy some by myself to give to the fosterer.

The puss on her wound.

Awww~ She's too cute.

Quite cold I think. This picture was taken after the vet applied dressing on the wound.

Later that day, I went to Papa Meow's house with guidance from Kak Rina. At first she said she will guide me there but she have meetings to attend, so she just guide me through phone. Yes I did lost a bit there. Alhamdullillah I manage to reach there although it was quite late. Almost 6 pm or after 6 pm. I can't remember.

Papa meow was quite busy when I reached his home. While he's settling up some stuff, I played with Cookie a bit. I opened the door of the carrier. She placed her hand on mine. I rub her a bit and place her hand back on the floor ( of the carrier ). But she placed her hand again on mine. Then she looked at me with those eyes. Felt like crying that time. She love to be belly rubbed. When I opened the top of her carrier, I rubbed her belly and she loves it. She bite my finger once in a while and hold them with it's to ticklish for her. She's too cute. 

Came Papa Meow's friend. We don't chat much. I don't know what to say!!! Seriously I'm not that friendly at first. Sooner or later if I get comfortable with that person, I talk A LOT! His friend said that Cookie want to pee. Cookie keep on doing this one strange sound. Seriously I have no idea about dogs at all!

When I wanted to go back, Papa Meow said I can let Cookie roaming around for a while there at the verandah. So I did. She keep on smelling here and there, ate some cat kibbles and suddenly she peed on Papa Meow's 'tikar mengkuang'. Homai~ Cookie darling...

I manage to go to Petzone Kota Damansara's branch to buy some stuff for Cookie and aso buy some dressing at a pharmacy near by. At the pet shop, the owner of the shop who is Num, helped me a lot! I told her about Cookie and she did told me about dog and puppy. Bought few necessaries stuff for Cookie. I'm not sure whether Cookie will use/eat it or not. Just in case.

Thursday, 30th August 2012

Went to Papa Meow's place to give the stuff I bought for Cookie. I did saw her playing with other dogs and cats. She love to walk around there. I placed her on my lap and she keep on wanting to lick my face. I tried my best not to let her lick my face. But she lick my hand instead. She sat there without any hesitation. I'm gonna miss you buddy. 

This picture was taken and edited by Papa Meow.

Look how happy she is.

I know you're in a good hand Cookie.

50 Shades of Gray

You mean that book? Naaaahhh! It's about a cat named Grey.

There's this one cat, he's a blue colour cat. Who was born and now live below my apartment. His grandmother is Callie, my cat. His mum is still around with him. Every night they will come out from their hiding place and begged for food from people who came to the Thai restaurant below my apartment. Then one day I saw he was crossing the road, limping. Thus I want to take him to the vet and neuter him. I don't want him to pregnant his own mum. After many effort and almost two hours in catching him, I manage to bring him to the vet and he was warded there for one week because I don't have any courage to bring him back to my apartment. After one week, I release him back to his place. 

Since that day I rarely see Grey and his mum around. But after Raya, when I just came back from Perak, I heard a cat meowing. I was like, who could that be. I looked around and suddenly saw him. He was looking at me. I asked him, 'are you hungry?'. He meowed. I asked him again 'do you want to eat?'. He meowed too. So I placed some kibbles nearby him. He was still very cautious with me. Yeah I know I catnap him for one week. Maybe he was hungry since the Thai restaurant closed for Raya holiday. After I leave him with the kibbles, he ate it. He look so thin compare to the last time I saw him. After that day, everytime I'm around, I always look around for Grey and his mum to be feed. Sometimes if I didn't see them, I will place the kibbles nearby the Thai restaurant so that they can smell where the kibbles are. The next day after I placed the kibbles, the kibbles have finished.

Sometimes when the Thai restaurant already open and I saw one/both of them there, I will call them and placed some kibbles for them. After they finished their kibbles or already full, they will hide again. Didn't beg for food any more at people who are eating at the restaurant. Happy, yes I am. On one afternoon few days back, I saw Grey. He was hungry I think. There's a live mouse inside his mouth. Not inside. He was biting the mouse. I persuade him to release the mouse while I place some kibbles. But he just stare without any blink. I just leave him with the mouse and some kibbles near by. Maybe he was too hungry. That's why he ate mouse.

Nowadays, when Grey saw me, he will meow at me or just stare at my eyes. I don't know why he likes to stare. He still don't have trust on me. Well, he need time and I won't force him if he don't want to be near from me. He still hissed tho. Just to protect himself, I do understand. May we meet again Grey.

Sorry I don't have his picture. Tried to take it few times but he keep on running when I tried to take a picture of him.

Raya!!

Although It's Far From Now, But We're One Step Closer

Yesterday, I came back late for Iftar. When I opened FB, I saw my friend said to watch TV3 news. But it was too late. It's already 9 something when I arrived home. Then I saw this link from Malaysian Digest's web site and also from Buletin Utama TV3.

To be short, the proposed penalty to the animal abusers are, they will be punished as low as RM20,000 until RM100,000 or jailed not more than 3 years. Although it has not been implemented yet, but hey!! It's a good news. Better than nothing I guess. Currently the animal abusers who are guilty need to pay only RM200. I think nowadays everyone can pay RM200. 

You Never Know What Type of Sustenance (rezeki) You Will Get

Yesterday, I went to feed Zoe like always. I was walking from my house. Then I saw her bf. When Zoe saw me, she greet me like always. So we headed to her eating spot. While I was mixing her kibbles, she stood beside me waiting to eat them. Suddenly someone say 'hye'. There's a chinese guy standing near Zoe. So we have a chat a bit. He told me the history of Zoe. He said when Zoe was a puppy, someone saw her yelping from a drain alone. So there's a security guard help her out and people there started to feed her. They call her Acai. Later, one of the book store's worker started to 'adopt' Zoe. Zoe started to 'live' there ever since. So the worker stop working there and the family of the book store's boss took over to take care of her. They call her Biscuit because she love to eat sweet stuff. There's also this one chinese lady who sometimes fd her, called her Bobby. Wow, she have many names and people love her!! 

The chinese guy named Albert by the way. He told me sometimes when I feed Zoe, I overfeed her. Actually I did that on purpose. Cause I'm not sure whether I came to that place once or twice a day. So just in case, I placed the kibbles for two meals. Plus lately Zoe's bf came over, so I placed extra kibbles for him to eat. Albert told me the bf only came when Zoe is on heat. Once the heat is over, he will roam around somewhere. Pity Zoe. 

I told Albert rather than she keep on having litter and people took her puppies, it's better to spay her. He said the old chinese lady also said the same thing too. She don't mind paying the cost of spaying and stuff. Me too. I don't mind. Later when I have the chance to meet her, I'll talk to her about Zoe. I told Albert that I did have some difficulties in bringing Zoe to the vet that day. He said whenever I need help about Zoe, I can ask them from the book store. Wow, they are very nice people.

Later when I was walking home, I saw Zoe and her bf taking a walk nearby. She looks very happy with him.  She did saw me and came to me for a while, after I pet her, she went back to her bf and they continue their walk.

Zoe Has A BF!!!

Last Friday before  came back to my parents', like always I will feed Zoe. When I met her, I gave her some treats that I bought before. She love the treats. So I came back to my car to take the kibbles for her. When I was walking to her spot, I saw a male dog.  A tough black male dog. Seriously I was afraid when I saw him. I was stunt. He looked at me and walk few steps away. When Zoe saw me, she came to me like telling me that the male dog is her bf. Later she went back to the male dog, they sniff each other, she lick him a bit and their cheek were touching each other while both tail were wagging. They look very happy together. So I placed extra kibbles for Zoe and her new bf. 

I am happy. But what made me worried is Zoe has not been spayed yet and the male dog seems not been neutered yet. No I don't want Zoe to go through a time again where people took away her puppies. It must be a heart breaking for her. I really really hope she will not get pregnant again this time. I do want to bring her to the vet but she just refused. She don't want to go to the vet. What can I do?

New Comers!!!

So that day I was alone at my parents'. I placed some kibbles at the garage in case Snowy came to eat. While I was watching the TV, I saw something walking at the garage. Hey!! It's a new cat! A male tabby cat. He ate a lot!!! I can see that he haven't ate for quite some time since he's quite skinny for a male cat. But his body was quite long compare to a normal domestic short hair cats. I kept an eye on him while he ate. While Astro and Sophie watched them from the main entrance. He didn't bother them. He kept on eating the kibbles. After he had done eating, he sat near by a column while watching Astro and Sophie watching him. Then my parents' came back, he ran away.

I will call this male tabby cat Tabs. Yes Tabs, because of his fur marking. When I can get near to him, make him comfortable near by me, I will bring him to be neutered. Cause I don't want more and more strays to be here at this area. Cause my house is just besides the main road. Hopefully. Well, my mum didn't like Tabs to come to our house. She don't mind Snowy came, but not Tabs. Well~ what can I say. It's typical when people only like the beautiful cat. She said she don't want our house became the centre for strays. No, I will not make that happened. Since there's no stray in our area at the moment except Tabs and another one black male cat at the back alley of our house. I will make sure I snip them or at least Tabs to prevent overpopulation of strays at our area.

The War Is Here

So~ Things have change a bit at my parents' house. Why? Cause Astro suddenly attack Lili, Lulu and Lolo. He did not attack the rest of the cats. Seriously we don't know what happen to him. Maybe he want my attention. Maybe. Or maybe he don't like cats who have same fur colour like him. So Lili, Lulu and Lolo were kept in my bed room all the time. Provided food, water an litter tray at the toilet. Once in a while we will let them roam freely at the house while Astro were kept at our not-so-wet area with the door locked. After like 30 minutes or 1 hour, they were placed back inside the room and Astro roam freely inside the house. 

Last few days, I thought maybe Astro just wanna some time with me. So I let the three cats out and put Astro in my bed room. He slept with me. He love it, it was fine. He sleeps peacefully. Then after I woke up, the place got switched between the three cats and Astro. We tried to mingle them. But Astro keep on having fights with them, especially Lulu. Lulu looks paranoid every time we let her out of my room. Lolo keep on wanting to run freely like always, but we cannot do that. Astro will chase her all over the house whenever she's around. I seriously don't what should I do. I don't want the three cats be like Callie. Callie has been kept alone for months until she refused to mingle with my other cats. The rest of the cats were fine with her. They did try to get close to her. But she refused. She kept on hissing at them. My fault. I don't know. I know I'm not good in keeping animals. But I did tried my best though..

I Named Him, Snowy

Who's Snowy? Snowy is my neighbour's almost abandoned cat. When I arrived at my parents', Snowy was walking towards our house. He ran towards me and I carried him. Maybe he's not used to be carried by me, so he jump off. Papa told me that just now while Snowy was eating at our garage like always, his owner came by, called him and carried him to their house. Ahaa~ you thought we're going to take your cat. No you're totally wrong. He came by himself. We fell sorry for him, so we feed him, place a bowl of water and a place for him to sleep. Just to make him a little bit comfortable while he's here. Cause we pitty to look every time he sleep inside a dry drain near by our garage. There's a lot of kerengga at near by trees. Don't want him to get bitten by the kerengga like the 4L's though. 

I thought of giving him Frontline Spot On for cat cause he keep on scratching himself and there's a lot of flea feces on her fur indicates that the flea has been there for months or maybe years!! He have completely white fur, so it's easy to spot them on. But I don't know, his owner still thought the cat is theirs although they kinda neglect the cat a bit. Luckily no one steal Snowy cause he's such a handsome boy~ Does the name Snowy too girlish for a male cat? I don't know. I'm bad at giving names.

Flea Free!

Yay!! Zoe is flea free. Yesterday before I went back to Tanjong Malim, I went to visit and feed Zoe. She was still merajuk with me because of that collar. The kibbles I gave her, she only ate puppies kibbles. And for the past few days, she didn't finish her kibble. I thought maybe the kibbles are wet she don't want to eat it. But I do wonder how come the kibbles can be wet. Maybe when someone want to pour water inside the tupperware, the water spill over. I don't know. So her flea, are gone! At first I was like 'seriously seriously?'. Later I took a closer look, selak-selak her fur and there's none! I'm happy to see that. But she doesn't look happy cause the collar is still there on her neck. There's some new ticks on her body. Hopefully the ticks will fall down one by one. Zoe also scratch less compare to before and her wound was healing quite well. What a relief!!  Fleas gone, now ticks. Later need to bring her to the vet for further check up.

I Hope This Is Not A Good Bye For Us

It's Happy. I didn't see her for days. I called her morning, evening and even night time. She is no where to be seen. The last time I saw her the morning after few brats trying to act stupid to us. She was so happy. Someone wore her a collar chain. Maybe that person want to adopt her. Maybe. Hopefully she's in a good hand, received lotsa TLC, having a great playtime and also have other animal companion at her new home. I'll be missing you sayang.

Tick Collar for Zoe

Last Tuesday I went to Honey Veterinary Centre ( HVC ) at Bandar Baru Bangi to meet Dr Nurul to pass something to her. I did tell her about the Biospotix that I used for Zoe. She did explain to me about neutral things in products, the efficiency and stuff. She also tell me about my doubts in using Kiltix and Frontline spot on for Zoe in the first place. After listening to her explanation and I was confident with what she said, I agree to use Kiltix for Zoe. I did show Dr Nurul the Biospotix bottle. She said she's not sure about the Geranium product in it. How does it work on animals and stuff. So, I got the Kiltix collar from HVC

Yesterday, I managed to put the collar on Zoe's neck. She refused to move after I placed the collar on her. She persuade me to open the collar by rubbing her nose, head and body over me. I'm sorry. I cannot. Because she have wound as a result of scratching. Pitty Zoe. Later, she went merajuk with me. Yesterday's morning I did prepare a simple poster saying that I placed the collar on her to treat her ticks and fleas. I did place a piece of paper on the collar too. So that when people spot her, they wouldn't remove the collar or think that Zoe is a lost dog. Crossing fingers.

This morning before I'm going back to Tanjong Malim, I'll check on her first.

IAMS' Voucher!

Yup yup yup. I received RM20 IAMS' voucher last week. It was the lucky draw I think that I won during Pet World 2012 at Mid Valley. So~ I don't feed my cats with IAMS because of personal reason. Since I have RM20 voucher that will expired by the en of August, I need to use it. The voucher can only be use for IAMS and Eukanuba product only at any vet and any pet store. My stock of kibbles for stray cat has finish during my feeding time at Tanjong Malim last week. So I decide to buy a bag of IAMS kibbles for adult cats.

After class yesterday I went to Pet Lover Centre ( PLC ) at Ikano Power Centre ( iPC ). My goal was to buy can food, ANF kibbles for my cats and also IAMS kibbles. Normally I bought ANF at Petzone Kota Damansara. But they don't have stock for 7.5kg, they only have stock for 3kg which is a slightly expensive. There were no ANF 7.5kg at PLC, then I look around for IAMS. Yes they do have. But the packaging look different though. For 20lbs which is around 9kg, it cost RM152. So I thought of buying it since I have the voucher, birthday month extra discount and also my salary from my part time job. So for the kibbles, I need to pay RM116 after all the discount and voucher.

Next I went to Petzone Kota Damansara to buy two bags of 3kg kibbles since we have lack of kibbles at home. I did ask Num ( the store owner ), the price for IAMS adult cat kibbles. She said after discount for the 9kg bag, is RM130. I did think a bit. If it's RM130, minus voucher should be RM110. Every RM100 spent at Petzone, we will get RM5 rebate. Means the price is RM105. well, there's a slight lost there. If only I bought the IAMS kibbles at Petzone, I will save RM10. It's ok. Next time I'll go there first.

Today I will be going back to my parents.

Some Brats

Copied from my facebook's status.

how immature, stupid and narrow-minded kids nowadays can be!!

after i fed the puppy, like always she wanted to have some play time with me. she was just jumping, standing on her feet and wanted me to walk her. then came this one group of 5 kids. aged around 14-16. they said things to me. like 'anjing tu gigit boleh mati', 'wang atau nyawa'. i said la the puppy do no harm. when me and the puppy were walking, one of the kids, threw a mercun right between us (me and the puppy) it shocks the puppy. she ran away. so i came back to her, soothe her up and walk back to my car. while i was walking, the kids say things to me 'muka akak macam anjing', 'harap je pakai tudung'. i said to them learn more before saying things they don't know about. later they walked towards the puppy. i was seriously afraid they'll do harm to her, i walk near the puppy and just stood there. looking how stupid those kids were trying to make themselves looks even more stupid. they threw the mercun to me, but i know it won't hit me. well, if you learn basic science or physics, you can know how to estimate the thing you/someone throw will landed. they said 'aish main kasar pulak dia'. seriously i did nothing. i was just standing and looking at them. another boy, pull down his pants, showing his butt and tapping it. like saying kiss my ass. but, hello!! seriously you guys looks even more stupid than before. after throwing few mercun, did stupid acts, they leave. down the road, they were trying to do pranks to the passer by. they spread a piece of rope along the road, they split into two groups, one waiting on the left side and the rest on the other side. 

based on what i read. these kids having problem with their family. either they didn't get enough love, attention or been abused by the family members. that's why they try to hurt people and other creature to satisfy their needs. they cannot fight back with their family members. that's why they do to other human being/creatures. how come parents can let their 14-16 years old kids walking around doing nothing by themselves at 10.30 pm? aren't they worried? or they just don't care? i do worried and pity with kids living in dot dot dot places.

Feeding

Last Friday I went to my parents'. After we went to Ramadhan Bazaar, my mum wanted to buy something at the pekan. There were about 2 strays trying to mate. So I bother them a bit by giving the male kibbles. While the male cat eat the kibbles, I gave some to the female. She was frightening. Pitty her. Then came another stray, I gave him/her some. While my mum went to buy some stuff, I took the opportunity to feed the stray. Not many stray I saw that day compared to usual. This time I walked beside the market and I saw a little kitty waiting outside the building. She looks like 1 month I think. S/he was meowing. I only can feed her/him. But s/he didn't eat them. Few of the cats saw I was giving kibbles, so they came out from their hiding places and eat the kibbles. They were quite hungry I can say. But as for the number of stray at the market, I can say it is very little compared to how people will describe that there are too many cats at the market. Maybe they were sleeping. I don't know. Hopefully all of them are fine.

Zoe and Happy

Who are they? They are adult female dog and puppy. Yayyy!! They have a name. Hopefully they like the name.

Ticks and Fleas

Last week on Thursday morning when I was feeding the puppy, I saw something on the adult female dog's back. I thought it was just some kibbles tuck on her fur or something stuck there. When I was about to remove it. Shockingly it were ticks. OMG!! I was totally shock. I don't know what to do. I was afraid that she might get tick fever. I never ever encounter a dog with ticks ever in my life. So I text my vet. She said if the eye looks good, she'll can go with tick collar first. 

So that afternoon after class, I bought a collar for her and also plastic cover to cover my car's back seat. I've set up everything. I tried to put the collar on her. She refuse. I tried to pick her up, she's too heavy for me. When I manage to put the collar and harness on her, she refuse to get inside the car. Stressful situation for me and her. She just don't want to get into the car. After few fail attempts, I gave up for that day. I don't want to stress her even more. Plus the vet will be closed for iftar soon. So I opened her collar and she ran happily without it. OK my bad. She's not used wearing a collar. Like my cats, they will try their best to remove the collar that I put on them.

Then I went to feed the puppy. The adult female dog followed me while wagging her tail. Seriously I was confused. Is she ok? I don't know. As long as she's happy. Later that night I did ask my friends in my volunteer group about this lady. One of them said to get a type of medicine from the vet and can be spray to the dog. Within few application, the ticks will fall off. Another one said that she can help me to carry the dog inside my car. Walawei!! Such a stubborn dog. Maybe she's just not use to get into the car I guess. I asked advise from my vet what can I do in the mean time. She said buy a Killtix or Frontline Spot On for her to prevent her from keep on scratching.

The next day, Friday. I went to Nilufar, a pet shop at Jalan Klang Lama to buy my cats litter sand. I asked them do they have Kiltix. They do. But Kiltix is in collar shape. No I don't want the dog to wear a collar. Cause someone new to that area might say that she is a lost dog or something. I also don't want to use Frontline because if ever Frontline been applied to a dog or a cat, the dog or cat shouldn't get her/his bath 2 days prior and 2 days after the medication been applied. Well, she's a stray dog. So she have high tendency to get wet. Thus the sales girl showed me a product named Biospotix, made from France. I've read somewhere about this Biospotix thing. It is a natural product, no chemical were added and it will not harm the animal nor human when get in contact with the liquid. So I decided to buy the spray bottle of 500ml. I paid that for RM76 after 5% discount. I went straight to my parents after that.

Kiltix. Varies in size

Frontline spot on for dogs.

Biospotix spray for dogs.

*pictures credit to Mr Google

On Sunday I came back and I spray it onto her. She didn't like it. Maybe she thought I was trying to abuse her. No sayang, I was trying to treat you. I spray on the ticks and also on the place where there's a lot of fleas crawling. Seriously I saw may fleas crawling back and front of her body. She did walk a bit funny after I spray onto her. She don't want me to get near to her. So I just leave her and came back in the evening to see how she's doing. Everything went well. 

Yesterday, when I took a walk with her, she scratch less and less compared before I sprayed Biospotix onto her. I guess it did work. So I'm going to spray onto her again in the mean time before going to the vet.

She Wanted To Follow Me Back

Just now, I went to feed the two stray dogs. When the female adult dog heard the sound of my car's engine, she woke up from her sleep and greet me with her wagging tail. She wanted me to pat her like always. I placed the kibbles and went of to feed the puppies. It's late already so I need to hurry back home. When I saw the puppy, she was biting a paper bag. Maybe she's too hungry I guess. When I called her, she quickly run towards me and did his normal gila-gila act. So cute. I fed the puppy quite far from the place I usually fed him. Like 5-6 shop lots away but still in the same block. After I placed the kibbles, she was like running away. Ahaa~ The adult female dog were there, I think. I was correct! She want to spend more time with me. I'm so sorry I can't although I really want. The puppy and the adult female dog were surrounding my car. How la I can move the car. Thus I need to shush them. The adult female dog followed my car until the junction to the main road :'( But there was a motorcycle passing by so she went away. I pressed the gas as hard as I can to prevent the dog from following me.

Will meet you two lovelies in the morning ( hopefully ).

Tender Loving Care

These past few days, out neighbour's cat keep coming to our house. He has been coming to our house for the past 5 years. It just for the couples of days he came here almost everyday! He don't eat much when we offer him food. Just want to be cuddle, pat and manja-manja. Maybe he didn't get all of the intention he sohuld get from his owner. I don't know. But he seems really happy when we manja-manja him. He's a very handsome cat. He has not been neutered, thus there's like oil that was produced by his testicle ( if I'm not mistake ) thus making his tail full with oil on the skin. You can see by yourself from the pictures below. What makes me weird, all of my cats are not afraid of him. They don't even hiss.
