Cats who teach me to fly…

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!:)

I am helping Cashie to lose weight through climbing the stairs. Cashie is actually an active boy. He prefers to exercise than to go on a diet. I remember I once fed him with diet food, he refused to eat. He hide at a corner, looking depressed and vomited water because he refused to eat. The best way to help Cashie is exercise. I can see that Cashie enjoys going up and down the staircase.

Sexy Cashie.
We started off with climbing four storeys. Today we were up six storeys. And we are not stopping at six storeys.

Cashie climbing up.

And Cashie coming down. I am always with him. And he really enjoys my company. He simply follows me up and down.

He got really tired when he got back home.

Really really tired!
The next workout will be on Sunday. I need to let his muscle rest for a day. In fact,  Cashie is always looking forward to go out  everyday. I don’t have to force or push him. Most of the time I feel guilty for not being able to let him out as I am running out of time. Three times a week is all Cashie needs. Jiayou Cashie!

Sayang has gone back to her usual self. She comes to me on every meal. She has also put on weight. I don’t know what had happened to her during the two week when she had gone missing but I am pretty sure she was not abused as she shows no sign of fear .

She is eating both wet and dry food without any difficulties. Sayang will always be blessed!

Dads.

I have always love cats lying in such a position. Dads ace it! Dads has a big hole on his left arm, believe to be bitten by an insect. The wound has been more than a week. It looked better two days ago and I am happy! And I am still applying medicine on him.

There is a new kid on the block. His name is Stripy.

A handsome boy. He is afraid of human and loves dry food.

Every cat is safe and healthy and I am looking forward to seeing and giving blessing to them everyday!

After missing for two weeks, Sayang finally appeared and came to me yesterday afternoon, during my feeding time.
She has lost so much weight. So much weight that she wobbled a little  when she was walking.
Immediately when I saw her, I quickly get a small can of fussie cat for her. She managed to eat the whole can without any problem. There was no vomiting or anything unusual about her. After eating, she walked back to where she always used to be.

I followed behind her to where she was and left her some dry food and water. She tried to eat the dry food but somehow, she puked. I think yesterday might be her first meal after two weeks of disappearance. However, I was contented that she was able to finished the can of fussie cat without any problem.

I hope she is just losing weight and not anything else. Hope she pee and poop when I am around. So that I’ll know if she is alright.
In order to perk her up again and to further monitor her, I went back again at 8.30 last night. She had another small can of fussie cat with lysine added. She walked steadily this time round.
She had another can of fussie cat again at 9am this morning. Another can during my usual feeding hour in the afternoon. She refused to eat four hours ago. I can see that she was waiting for another feeder who usually feed after 9pm.
Although she didn’t look that bad to me, I am still worrying about her.
I am looking forward to seeing her tomorrow morning…

Many people understand what love is but not many know what compassion is. Even I, myself, am still practising compassion.
When I see mummy cats were being separated from their kittens, my heart twitched for them. I can see a lot of kittens were being separated from their mummy in the adoption drives. Many adopters prefer to adopt the kittens but not the mummy… I can see human’s love towards the kittens but was unaware that the kittens will soon be separated from their mummy. Mummies who had nursed, cared, protected and loved their kittens since the very first day the kittens were born. The lack of compassion to understand a mummy cat’s love towards their kittens.
Fosterers who are too afraid of missing the opportunities of finding a good home for the kittens and thus, kittens were being adopted away without their mummy. Some of the fosterers are kind and patient to find the mummy cats a good home but many would release them to the street… Even the animal welfare societies do that. However, there is no right and wrong!
Compassion and pure love are such profound practice. Many are unaware of it. It took my whole life to understand and it is a great fortune that I am aware of it now. I hope I am not drowning myself too deep into this samsara. And I pray that all good conditions will come to me and everyone always, to fulfil the path to enlightenment!
(My spiritual mentor while giving lesson turned her head, looked at my face and into my eyes and emphasized the word “Lamrim”. Yep, I have understood that:).)
