Cats who teach me to fly…

Joy was rescued on Christmas, 27 December,  last year. She was successfully adopted two weeks later.

Joy is an extremely “manja” cat.

I didn’t get to know her well as she was at the fosterer’s home. Whenever I visited her, she would jump on my lap and sit on it. She is a perfect lap cat.
It was a good opening year for me cos Joy has gone to a good home.
Two cats went missing three days ago.

Handsome from Malcom Road. And…

Sneaky from Whampoa.
I don’t know where Sneaky has gone to… All I know is that she is not the type of cat that follows people around. She is always the first one to approach me for food…
It has been three days. Whereever she is right now,  I hope she is well taken care of and loved by many. And I also hope she finds her way back, just like Sayang.
Handsome is believed to be taken away by someone. Mel and I put up notices along  Malcom Road. We are hoping that whoever took him away could call me and tell me his whereabouts and that he is fine.
I remember when I first saw Handsome, he was skinny and dirty. He walked everywhere looking for food. No one bothered to look at him until the day I told Mel that I had to grab hold of him and feed him everyday. I did it! I caught his attention and I found a feeding spot for him. I feed him every day without fail.
Day after day, he became fatter and stronger. Everyone who jogs and walks past him adore him. People started feeding him at his feeding area. Not every day of course. He was loved by so many.
I was hoping that someone could adopt him but whenever I ask people whom I think love him, they refused to.
Many may have seen Handsome without my presence. I believe strongly that he was taken away. I hope whoever has taken him away could call me and tell me about it…
So much for the first month of 2016. It is always so hard when you see cats every day at the same spot feeling so happy and then one day you don’t get to see them anymore….
Being a stray, their lives are unpredictable… I really hope humans can cherish not only mankind but all animals all the time…
I will always be with them…

We have just completed the Tara chanting and prayers. We started our first session yesterday at 7.30p.m. It is a meaningful celebration this year. And it will be every year.

Chet, the senior community cat at AMK is adopted by a kind lady. Chet is old and has a slight kidney problem. She is unable to jump due to her old age. The neighbours in the area love her a lot. She was well taken care by the people. I went to visit Chet a month ago and I could not find her. She was always at the same spot whenever I visited her. I called one of the caregivers and she actually took her in. I was so happy. It was the most joyous moment for me in 2015.

This is Chet in her new home.

Days later, her mummy bought her a bed:). What more can I ask:)?

Sunshine remains active and playful as ever. It has been more than a year that I have brought Sunshine home. She was very ill then. Sunshine is still taking Retromad1. I am delighted  that Retromad1 will be sold in the market soon. There will be hope for FIV and FeLV cats.

Mischievous face!

Many kittens have been adopted in 2015. And they have all gone to a responsible and loving home:). These include the three siblings – Gin, Debbie and Kelly from Catholic Junior College, Angel, Patrice and Elsa from Whampoa, and Brownie from Hougang. The sad side is Moo, Ginby and Donpak had gone missing… And Blessed met with an accident… They will always be in my heart.

The beneficial thing that happened in 2015 was I have finally found my Sangha and an authentic spiritual teacher. Practising Dharma has benefited me wholly. By practising, it will also benefit others.

In 2016, I hope to benefit others as much as I can by practising dharma, accumulating merits through virtue action, sending dedications and making the right effort.

It is five minutes past midnight. I not only hear the firework but also smell the firework now. Fireworks may look beautiful, however, it is meaningless to me and the money spent on the fireworks can be of better use.
Today, we are also celebrating Cashie and Monnie’s birthday. They turn three years old.

A vegan banana chocolate fudge cake for christmas and birthday. I swear that it really taste fantastic. I simply love it! This cake is definitely not for my angels:).

My two giants. It was hard to get both of them to sit obediently in front of a cake and take a photo. This is the best memory I want to keep. Just like when I celebrated Miemi’s birthday every year.

I think I am really crazy! So irresistible! Thanks to the kindness of these people who created and baked such wonderful vegan cakes. I got it from Delcies. The true meaning of eating without guilt is to be a vegan.

Mel also created this beautiful photo as a greeting picture to send wishes to others. That’s actually Cashie, he is having a lazy Christmas:).

Light up a candle for Miemi and Sunkiss. May they enjoy good fortune at the present moment and life after life. Through the virtues of my effort, dedication and prayers, may many more good fortunes fall upon them again and again:). And may they behold the three Jewels immediately.

Miemi has been imprinted so deeply in my heart. Whenever I talk to Mel about Miemi,  I had to control my tears.
We had gone through so much. It was only me and her in a small little house. Going through thick and thin.
Pictures of her hanging on the wall. From kitten to eleven years old. Every year on her birthday, I would buy cakes, light up a candle, sing her a birthday song and give her my blessing and wishes. Pictures were taken every year on her birthday. All these happy and beautiful memories of Miemi, of us, will always live in my heart. It stays so deep in the root of my heart. Nothing can replace her.

I know we are going to meet again. Our bond is so strong… it’s unimaginable… It cannot be explained… I know,  we know…

Before we named her Brainy, she was called Drainy because she always hides in the drain. When I do my feeding in the evening, I had to lift up the cover for Brainy to get out of the drain. I don’t know how she gets into the drain. But I know she is always there.

Brainy disappeared for the past five days. Negative thoughts began crawling on my mind. However, it failed to control me.
I make a prayer for Brainy today. As usual, I did my feeding. I called out for Brainy loud and clear. I thought I heard something familiar but when looked into the drain, I saw nothing. Not giving up. I called her name again. She appeared! The minute when I saw her,  the joy in me was inexpressible.
Quickly I lifted up the cover and gave her the food that she loves. She loves Royal Canin dry and ate a lot!

Above picture was taken quite some time ago. Brainy looks the same. I guess she must have feared of the noises from the construction site.
Construction will end on next April next year. Hope the cats find peace soon!:)
