Cats who teach me to fly…

The weather has been hot and humid these few days. I can feel heat all over my house. I hardly feel any wind except the wind coming from the fan. Cashie and Monnie hide themselves in the bathroom. Guess it is much cooler there. I wonder if Miemi feels warm too=). Always love and care for her, no matter where she is. She is always in my heart. My beloved Miemi.

Side view of Miemi. Miss her so much…

I get thirsty easily at home even when I am not doing anything. Cashie and Monnie came to the bedroom and lay down a little while.

Cashie on the bed.

Monnie on the chair.

The weather is too warm for them to sleep a little longer on the bed and cushioned chair. Both of them are now lying on top of the refrigerator. I wonder if it feels cooler there.

Both of them have grown up so much and they hardly find me in the middle of the night. They used to eat hungrily three times per day. Now they have two meals per day. It is a joy to watch them grow. It was amazing to watch Miemi grew and got old too. I love the time we spent together. Every memories with her were precious to me. These memories will live in my heart forever.

This mushroom shaped crysanthemun is for her.

I will do something different for her on my next flowers arrangement. I believe Miemi knows how much I love her eve without the flower arrangements.

Today I boiled two chicken fillets and mixed with a canned food, I added supplement too. I want the strays to eat healthily too. It is enough to feed the cats in Hougang but not enough for the cats below my block. I will add an egg tomorrow and see how I can improve.

Amazing B is always hungry. He ate a lot today. Baby B too. Queenie didn’t eat much. Father B too. There is another feeder there. I spoke with him once and I thank him for feeding the cats. I always feel happy to see people feeding and loving the strays. Oh… I took a bus down today. I felt so relax taking a bus. It took about 20mins off peak to and fro but I don’t know about peak hour which is from Monday to Friday. Will give it a try on Monday.

This is Baby B.

I find life is more meaningful ever since I started feeding the strays again=).

I woke up at 6.15am today. Picked Mel up at 7.30am and we went straight to East Coast to scoot. I have always wanted a kick scoot. Finally, I’ve got one now. Mel bought a three-wheeled scooter and I bought a normal two-wheeled one.

I did not expect kick scooting to be so tiring. Mel was extremely exhausted, perhaps part of the reason was because she fell when she was scooting haha… She was so desperate to overtake me and yet was not aware of the surroundings. When I turned my head to search for her, I realised that she had flown away from her scooter to the ground=).

She was ok. She got up immediately, blaming the whole world except herself haha… She just had some scratch marks and slight abrasions on her leg and palm. Nothing serious.

See, that’s the price to pay for trying to overtake someone blindly…

I used to make such mistakes in life, however, not anymore. Whenever I attempt to do so, I would ask myself to calm down. Sometimes I am able to control myself and sometimes I can’t. I tried very hard and always remind myself when situations like this arise.

Anyway, after the fall today, I hope Mel would grow a little. She is always afraid of falling down and due to the fear of falling, she avoids taking up a lot of activities. Despite the fall, Mel told me that she still loves to scoot and so do I.

Our next scooting activity would probably on next Wednesday morning.

We spent about two and a half hour scooting. After that, we drove to our favourite dim sum and porridge stalls near to East Coast for brunch. We headed down to Toa Payoh to get stuff for Mel’s father and went home.

We got home around 1.30pm. Both of us were tired. Mel had a short nap while I washed my bedsheet. Cashie was so busy watching what I was doing. Monnie was sleeping then but Cashie was not at all sleepy.

We rested till about four plus and got out to have dinner at Shaw Towers. We also had dessert at Bugis street. We shopped for a while and went to feed the strays.

Seems like someone has been feeding the cats, not all but Queenie did not eat much. She seemed full to me. I stroked Queenie as usual. I found her resting herself comfortably before I left for home.

Photo of Amazing B, the limping cat.

I captured photos of the father and baby cats today. Will put it up on my next blog.

I felt that my day was well spent and I miss Miemi…

After conducting survey yesterday evening, I went straight to Hougang to feed the strays. I was so happy to see Queenie again. She ran straight to me and greeted me. I stroked her and she rubbed against me. She was hungry, so I fed her with the food that I brought. As for the limping cat, I shall name him ” Amazing B”. He was hungry as usual. There were two other cats that look like Queenie. I wonder if they are siblings. Oh, there was this very tiny kitten. Guess the kitten is less than two months. The last two times when I fed him, he was with an adult male black cat. What interest me was, the black cat actually takes care of the kitten. When I offered the black cat food, he would stand beside the food pretending to eat and the kitten would rush over to eat with him. When the kitten was eating, the black cat would walk away and let the kitten eat. After the kitten had his full, the black cat would walk over and eat. This black male cat seem fatherly to me. He loves the kitten.

The kitten was there yesterday but I did not see the black cat. I left the food and walked away so that the kitten would eat. The kitten always runs away when I get closer. I hope the black cat is somewhere safe.

I always make sure that Queenie is busy with something before I leave the place. I don’t like her to see me go.

I drove back to my car park around 9.30pm. When I was driving up the multi-storey car park to find a lot, I saw a cat under a vehicle, I didn’t see it clearly then. I told myself to feed the cat after I parked my car.

After parking my car, I went down to find the cat. When I got nearer, I realised that he wasn’t playing, he was actually knocked down by a car. It was the car that he was lying underneath that hit him. I saw a pool of blood, dried blood and he was still alive. I recognised the cat. The black male cat was often seen roaming near the car park and I don’t know why he was at the car park last night… I fed him once before… Just once…

I was in a state of panic. I thought of calling lady J and ask what I should do. At the same time I also told myself I can handle it without her. Immediately, I took out my ipad to search for pets ambulance. I quickly dialled the number when I got the first search. The person on the other end told me to call SPCA as there was no vet at his end. I dialled SPCA and told them about the situation. After 5mins, i saw a man with uniform holding a plastic bag walking towards me. I asked him if he was from SPCA, he said he was from NEA to remove a dead cat. I told him immediately that the cat was still alive and begged him not to remove him and give him a chance to live. He agreed to it. He told me that he received instruction at around 6 plus in the evening to remove the cat. I was totally pissed off, the person who hit the cat could have called SPCA instead of NEA. He could have save the cat.

People like the driver are getting sick. What is wrong with people now? How do these people sleep so soundly at night?

While waiting for SPCA, I heard the cat struggling and making loud noises. There was nothing i could do but to tell him to stay calm and I am with him. I told Miemi to give him strength to hang on while waiting for SPCA to arrive. i kept saying prayer.

The SPCA staff arrived twenty minutes later. Since the cat was under the car, the rescuer had to use a hook and gently pull him out. I was disappointed that SPCA did not prepare a stretcher for the injured cat but a cage to carry it.

I wanted to ask the rescuer if they were able to update me with his condition. When he began to answer me, I stopped him and ask him to drive the cat to the hospital right away. To me, every second and minute are crucial to me.

I knew I wouldn’t get an update from them. So I called the emergency line again to tell the receiver that if the injured cat survives, I would adopt him and I meant it.

About half an hour later, SPCA called me and told me that the black cat died on his way to the hospital. I was sad…

The black cat could have been saved if the driver who knocked him down called SPCA instead of NEA. Things could have been different…

The pregnant cat appeared yesterday. I was feeding the strays yesterday evening and this little pregnant cat which I have been looking for for the past few days had finally appeared.

First thing that came to my mind was, where did she hide her babies? Did she have enough food to eat? Her tummy was flattened and I found something weird about her. She didn’t look like she had given birth and why was one of her ear being chipped off? Immediately I held her up and check her tummy. Yes, I saw stitches on her belly. She was being sterilised and no doubt, her babies were all killed during the surgery. I was both heart-broken and angry. I texted lady J and asked If she did that. I told her that I shouldn’t have told her about the cats and no one has the right to take away her babies. I have killed the babies… I felt so sad that I broke down and cry. I felt terribly guilty. I swear to myself that I will not contact lady J anymore.

At that moment, I really had the intention to adopt the pregnant cat. I shall name her “Queenie”. I actually drove away but turned back again and picked her. While she was in my car, she was so desperate to get out and want to go back to where she belongs. I didn’t want to further hurt her. I turned back and let her go to where she wants to go. I made sure that she was safe before I drove off. I promised to visit and bring her food everyday.

This is Queenie.

Queenie is very young. The photo was taken when she was pregnant and after a hearty meal. I spent about half an hour with her. I wish I could spend more time with her. If only I am staying around that area.

Queenie look so much better today. I want to pray for her, pray for her safety. I will visit her again tomorrow.

I have gone to feed the strays but I did not see the pregnant cat since three days ago. I believe she was giving birth. I pray that she and her kitties are well and safe. Hopefully, I will see her soon again.

Mel was at my place last night. She felt Miemi and heard Miemi last night. Although I did not hear Miemi, I felt her present still I am very happy that Mel heard her. She has made my day. Miemi is all so cute and always be so cute. Sometimes I just miss her so much that I break down and cry. She meant so much to me and still mean so much to me.

This new flowers arrangement is for her. I did it this morning. Hope she loves it. Perhaps nip it like Cashie and Monnie did.

I love both Cashie and Monnie too. They are both wonderful fur kids, just like Miemi. I have three wonderful fur kids and I am very fortunate and lucky to have them all.

I will be feeding the strays again tomorrow. I believe one day I will see the pregnant cat again and as I promise, I will send her for sterilisation so as to save her life. I will also send her kitties for sterilisation when the kitties are ready. I will wait for her patiently.
