His bones were hollow. The staff in Rainbow Cremation told us that cats with such hollow bones are usually more than 20 years old.
We knew that BG was very old but we couldn’t determine how old he was.
BG had Precious as his good friend. Precious would groom BG’s head and BG loved to have a friend.
I promised BG to give him anything he wanted to eat and to love and care for him. I hope his eleven months staying with us would be a happy and satisfying one.
I’m very fortunate to have so many paw prints in my heart. Filled with so much love!
I’ve been feeding Dagu for more than 7 years before I took him home. He was a strong old man. Still able to climb high on his last second day.

Looks like the same posture on a different date:). This is Dagu. Some call him 大牛!

He was abandoned by Malay family. He fed him every day. He not only abandoned Dagu but also a few cats. Yes, I argued with him a little because the other cat he abandoned was very sick.
All cats like humans, want to be loved. Dagu was no exception. Gave him plenty of kisses. Dagu was very independent. He used to be a cat who often terrorises cat. As he got older, I guess he didn’t want anything, but a place to eat and rest. I hope he lived well at my place. At the very least he would not be knocked down by cars or go hungry and thirsty.
Thank you Xiumin for sponsoring Dagu’s food and cremation!
Her liver value was rocket high 4 days ago. She lost weight and was dehydrated. Swallowing water seemed to be hard for her, let alone swallowing food. I thought I was going to lose her. She looked way like a dying cat.
UU was diagnosed with diabetes 6 months ago. She didn’t gain much weight after that. However, she has great appetite. When she wasn’t eating on the third day, it was time to go to the vet.
Even though UU is 8-years-old, to me she’s still a young cat. Though her eyes look brighter today, she’s still not out of the woods yet. I still need to be careful.
I took UU home when she could barely open her eyes. She was so tiny like a mouse. Time flies and she’s 8 now. It is said that a cat’s average life span is between 10 and 15 years old. Actually, majority of the cats didn’t get to live beyond 10 years. Cats that get to live more than 10 years is considered fortunate.
I believe UU will get better in the next few days. The vet prescribed novofit and told me that this liver supplement is extremely helpful and with a new antibiotics as well. I added another supplement (optimus pet) for her, hoping it could boast her immune system. I’m glad that it works well for now.
“Bhikkhus, dwell with yourselves as an island, with yourselves as a refuge, with no other refuge; with the Dhamma as an island, with the Dhamma as a refuge, with no other refuge. ~ SN 22.43
“Enough, Vakkali! Why do you want to see this foul body? One who sees the Dhamma sees me; one who sees me sees the Dhamma. For in seeing the Dhamma,Vakkali, one sees me; and in seeing me, one sees the Dhamma.” ~ SN 22.87

I highly recommend reading the sutta translated by Piya Tan. His "Laymen Saints" has been an inspiration to many lay people.
