Cats who teach me to fly…

It is Christmas Eve again. I remember Mel and I baked a Christmas cake for ourselves last year. I baked a chocolate log cake for myself and Mel baked a hazelnut cake. This year we did not bake any as I have baked a lemon sponge cake with strawberries topping few days ago.

I love the cake so much.

Today I did not bake any, Mel bought a chocolate log cake for me instead.

We both had a slice just now and we love it. I am keeping the rest for tomorrow.

Miemi was with us last christmas. She is with us still today. I asked Miemi to make it obvious to me when she is here. Mel and I felt her jumping up the bed. I felt her jumping up the bed and coming to my side. I use remote control for my ceiling fan and my ceiling fan turned off by itself few days ago. There was a peep sound coming from the remote control. Nobody was touching it and the remote control was just next to me. Immediately, I knew It was Miemi letting me know that she was around. I smiled and told Miemi not to be mischievous huh. Still missing and loving Miemi.

This is Miemi’s alter.

I placed a Christmas angel on her alter. This angel is a fragrance diffuser. We have chosen lilies and it smells great. I love it so much. Hope Miemi loves it too. I did an anthurium flower arrangement for Miemi on our first day here. I had a very strong feeling when I carried Miemi’s urn from Whampoa. The minute when I touched Miemi’s urn, I felt a very strong connection between Miemi and I. Yes, our love is never ending. I felt Miemi’s love, I felt her energy and so did Miemi. This special connection is going to stay with me forever. Yes, life after life:).

I don’t think I only have five angels with me. I have more with me. Cashie, Monnie, Miemi, Sunkiss and Polar… No, there will be Tabby, Puss, Mr Slow and…many angels with me:). Mel is the head of the angels ha…

I want to thank to all my cats, including the community cats that I feed, care and love. Without all these angels, there will not be me. I pray for their safety and good health. I want to thank Miemi’s guardian angels too. Merry Christmas ho ho ho!!!

I shifted last Sunday, 1st of December 2013. Sembawang is far from everywhere. However, it didn’t stop me from feeding the community cats in Hougang and Whampoa. Mr Slow and Baby have gone missing for five days. I have informed AVA. Many times I wondered what happens to all the missing cats. Mr Slow is a slow cat. He always stays at one place and I hardly see him moving around. First Puss and now Mr Slow. Before Puss, I have heard from my neighbours that two other cats were missing too. I told Mel that there is nothing I can do. I also told her to pardon me for being so mean. If someone has done something bad to these missing cats, I hope a lesson will be given to them to make them realise their mistakes. What they are doing does not only hurt the cats but the feeders too. I hope that the lessons that will change their life to be more sensitive and compassionate towards every living being.

I went to my old home at Whampoa in the evening. Before I left my house, I had to turn off all the lights. I knew the house was going to be dark when all lights are turned off and I really hate to be in the dark alone. The minute I came to the final light to be turned off, I turned my head, looked back, remembering how Miemi had taught me to be brave in the dark. I smiled, turned off the final light, without any fear in the dark, I opened the door steadily and walked out. Miemi made me a brave person:). I will always always remember that.

I am happy staying here in my new house. It’s windy and I am always feeling cold but Mel feels warm. The cats are adjusting themselves well. They are already running and jumping around. Polar got used to the house very quickly too. Mel felt Miemi jumping up the bed once and I am glad that Miemi has come home with us too. Miemi will make her presence obvious to me one day.

This is little Polar.

He was badly abused when we first brought him home. His back was scalded. There were bruises under his front and hind legs and there was even cigarette scars on both of his front legs. I sprayed antibacterial lotion on his wounds and applied medication. He recovered in no time. He is doing better in Sembawang than in Whampoa.

We had him sterilised three weeks ago and gave him a yearly injection too. Polar is a hearing-impaired cat. He can’t hear. I always have to wave at him to assure him that he is safe. Polar is part of the family. Cashie dotes on him a lot. Sunkiss is a little playful. He loves to lightly hit Polar and run away. Both of them are still kittens after all. Monnie hissed at Polar when Polar first joined us, now, Monnie has accepted Polar to be one of us.

I am comfortable with this flat and I am happy that all the cats are with me. I pray that Puss, Baby and Mr Slow are safe and well taken care off. I really miss them….

I came home a little early today. Finally got some time for myself. Cashie is on my left and Monnie is on my right now. Both lying lazily beside me. Let me take some live photos of them now.

Cashie on my left and…

Monnie on my right…

Don’t know why Cashie has to make so much noise when he is sleeping. I love them to be by my side whether I am doing something or not:).

I have been thinking a lot about my new flat. It’s like a new chapter of my life when I move in. My new home is the place that I have always dream of. Sitting in front of a window glass in a cafe and looking at the pouring rain. Feeling cold and enjoying my hot tea and reading a book which I love or writing a blog. I just love this feeling. This is what I always dream of doing. Well, this is no longer a dream. My home has a better environment. The view is better than the cafe. If it rains, I can sit and watch the rain 24/7 without being asked to leave. I can have many top grade tea without having to pay so much. I have a better couch to lean on. I can write plenty of blogs and read all kinds of books without having to worry if my bag is too heavy. The most important thing is, I have all my cats with me and Mel can sit in any posture she likes. Isn’t it a dream come true to me?

Many may think that this is just an ordinary dream. Yes, an ordinary dream and yet nobody does it. Mel bought a tin of cherry blossom tea from coffee bean for me. I think she wants to feel my dream too.

I have Sunkiss on my bed now.

He is always so sweet, always loving Cashie and Monnie. He is sleeping with Monnie now. Monnie loves his company. Both of them always behave sneakily. I love to watch them in harmony.

I have not felt Tabby coming to me yet and I have not found Puss either. I pray that Tabby is now playing happily with her friends and perhaps Miemi is her new friend now and I also pray that Puss is safe and well-fed by others. My door is open for Puss always and may the angels guide Puss safely back to me.

Oh… Mel bought a small christmas tree. It is going to look real cozy at home this Christmas. What a wonderful birthday I am going to have this year!
