The story of Boy-Boy

Today, an amazing thing happened to us. Passing showers occurred at my area this afternoon. As I had forgotten to bring my umbrella, I hurried back home after my lunch. Unexpectedly, I saw a young woman attending to "something" underneath the void deck adjacent to my block. Out of curiosity, I took a quick glance and saw a drenched kitten. In fact, that kind woman was cleaning and drying that poor kitten. He was in fact a very cute and cuddly little baby. I excused myself immediately and rushed back home to bring him some food. We only bought him home in the evening and managed to give him a "proper" meal as we felt that we should not "jump the gun" by bringing him home so early as his mummy might be still looking for him. Named him "boy-boy" and played with him for a while...

Strange thoughts were running through our minds as we kept thinking that her mum might have "abandoned" him. To avoid lessen the scent on boy-boy's body; we tried not to hold him long... We waited until human traffic was low and we set out to search for his mum. In the process, we met a very helpful uncle who gave us some advice on locating boy-boy's mummy. Also, another kind uncle had saw boy-boy in the afternoon came along searching for him in the evening... Alas, the first few cats that we had approached started to run after hearing boy-boy's frantic meows. Things were not looking good...

As we were about to return home, a white cat came out of nowhere and started to look around at our area. We figured that she might be the one. Immediately after we release boy-boy, she started to sniff boy-boy a bit. And for sure, we knew we had found boy-boy's mummy as she started to pick him up with her mouth and carried him into some concealed bushes. And that's it, no goodbyes or farewells... just a moment of relieve and satisfaction.
A few seconds later, the commotion had passed and all is quiet again..
That is the last moment we saw boy-boy.

Below are some pics of boy-boy...

PS: Sure feel strange as we only "had" him for less a day, but boy-boy will remain in our hearts forever...
If you don't believe, take a look at the pics, and you will know why.
Cheers to boy-boy...!!! Don't wander off again, OK!

Cappuccino (aka Cupps)

A few weeks had passed and Cupps is doing well after sterilisation. Release back to his "home" after his recuperation. Sad to see him go......
Anyway, we feed him regularly and it is very good to see him healthy and full of appetite!!
We just pray that he won't be captured by "you-know-who" for the "you-know-what" exercise as he is a stray.

If someone wishes to give him a good home, just leave a message. Will work something out.
In the meanwhile, we will keep our fingers crossed and keep praying...........

Photo taken a few weeks back. (the night before "operation")

Now, munching away, with a clipped ear....

After a nice meal, now's the time for a good wash-up....

Finally, a message from us:

Take good care, Cupps!!!
Be strong....

Tiger

Remember Tiger? Well, there hasn't been any post on him lately. So not to leave him out, here goes...

Tiger is a kitten that loves life. He loves to play, enjoy attention and very eager to share his thoughts with us.. especially when he is hungry or lonely. There's never a moment he feels shy. He was separated from the rest cause he was sick...flu and diarrhoea. But after countless dosage of antibiotics and tender loving care, he is now full of vitality. Thinking that he was ready to meet the rest of the family, we let him out. Well, the first introduction turned disasterous.

Without any proper socialising skills, he jumped on everyone he saw, inviting them to play. The furry friends were so afraid and everyone was stressed. Things got down turned when Puma and Oreo fall sick. They had fever and were limping badly. The vet thought it was some kind of flu virus that they have caught. And so poor Tiger was separated from the rest once again. During those times, we tried our best to spend more times with him. After Oreo and Puma recovered, we decided to let Tiger out again. This time we are crossing our fingers and praying hard that no one fall sick! Tiger is slowly gaining acceptance within the gang with only occassionally hissing and swating. But with his endurances and optimistic attitude, we believe one of these days Tiger will succeed in melting their hearts just like he melted us. Way to go Tiger!

Cupps

This is Cupps. Cupps is a void deck cat at our block. He is a sweet cat, very trusting, and allowed us to carry him around. We suspected that he was once a home cat that was abandoned by one of the unit in our block. On Fri, we were set on the mission of trapping Cupps for sterilization. Cupps easily walked into the carrier that we brought along and spent the night at our home before he off to the vet on Sat. After castration, Cupps was feeling drowsy throughout the first day. Luckily he recovered on the second and eaten quit well. We have set to release him on Mon night. I pray hard that Cupps will remain safe and happy for a long time. It is a pity that we couldn't do much more for him. Thank you Celeste for helping us to arrange for the sterilization, Cupps and I are very grateful!

Best sleeping positions for cats

Position 1
Cold hard surface to create that cooling and relaxing effect

Position 2
Someplace hot, and preferably near cables for added comfort.

Position 3
A picture is worth a thousand words.... :-)

The wise one:

I believe that no matter how much society had progressed or how much civilization had evolved, we are still largely primitive when we ourselves cannot treat animals big or small with dignity and the single most basic act of a man, that is to live and let live.

Purr-fect Moments

House of four furry friends!

Once upon a time, a family of two (a man and a woman) lived in a house near the sea. Everyday, sea breeze and cool winds would gush upon that house and Mount Faber was a few steps away. It felt like a resort palace. It was clean, organise and peaceful.......that is, till one day, that man found a little kitten, wondering alone outside his house. Out of fear that monsters lurking around might harm her, that man bought her home. The family feed her, bath her and play games with her. Devoting their previous time caring and loving her. All of a sudden, that family of two grew to an amazing six... With the addition of three more felines, the house was suddenly transformed into a noisy and jam packed house. Quite similiar to that of wet markets, lunch time crowd in the CBD, or even worse, people queuing up for free hello kittys! Nowadays, that house is always dirty, messy and in total chaos!!

But you know what? The family of two absolutely loved it. Why, you might ask, but the answer lies with the the four precious darlings. Since then, days will never be the same for the family of two. They had substituted their quietness for the felines' friendship. Their peacefulness for the felines' companionship. And most importantly, their love for the felines will hold a special in their hearts.....

This is the story of the house of four furry friends.........

Oreo- 8 months old, girl

Oreo is given this name because of her black outer layer and a white patch on her tummy! She is just a small kitten when the man found her meowing away. Oreo is one hell of a cool cat. She doesn't like hugs and kisses, and she maintains her slim figure by controlling her diet well... However, she is one of the most timid cat of the lot as she is often bullied by the gang! But alas, to make up for that, her favourite sleeping place during the night is between that man's thighs!

Pixie-approx 2 years, girls too!

Pixie was once a commuity cat that has been living on the street for almost two years! A kind friend had been taking care of her before sending her to the house of four furry friends. Pixie is a kitty with character. she doesn't like man and woman to come close to her initially. But things do change, and once trust came in, she can be hugged (just like a baby) and be cuddled in their arms! She was their alarm clock, singing in the morning for her breakfast. She also made it clear to Oreo that she is not allowed to go near her but Pix's understand the needs of little Puma and Tiger. Thus she allows them to play with her tail sometimes. Pix likes to head butts man and woman. They even commented that Pix is a sweet kitty!

Puma- 4 months old, Boy!

Don't be mistaken by the resemblance of Oreo and Puma. They are not related. Oreo has a long tail while Puma hasn't. Puma was caught in the rain a long time ago. A kind-hearted young man found him and tried dried him with a cloth. Woman walked passed and saw the ugliest little creature wet to the core! The young man decided not to keep him so she brought him home. From that day, Puma had evolved into the little terror in the house!!! His past time activities include 1) wrestling with his two sister 2) nipping their ears 3) chasing their long tails 4) eating their foods. However, his two sister adore him! Oreo and Puma become buddies not long after and Pix is still tolerating his nonsense. He is getting heavier and heavier each day, more heavy than Oreo! But the family agreed that Puma is the cutest kitty among the lots!

Tiger - 2 months old, Boy!

Tiger was found by Grandma (Woman's mom). Grandma was making rounds feeding commuity cats when she spotted him. Tiger was chasing Grandma and following her when Grandma decided to ask woman to adopt him! So Tiger found a place in the furry four friends house!
Unfortunately, Tiger was down with flu and later soft poo poos! The family sent him to a vet and he is now on the road to recovery! Sad to say, Tiger has not been formally introduced to the furry friends yet. But they are able to hear his meows and sometimes catch a glimspe of his dashing around...
