Blue Sky - The New Cats Story So Far ...

Date:  July 30, 2015

The Old Cat

Last Sunday, Molly (our 14 years old cat) passed away.

Last Wednesday, a rather big cockroach running around in the toilet.  Must be coming up from the drain, climb 15 floors up.

Haiz, no more Molly, means, cockroaches and lizards will rule again some day.

Must find a solution.

The New Cats

Meet Blue Blue.

We named this cat Blue because, he is a ragdoll, and his eyes are blue.  Very blue.

He is an Australian cat, and his real name is Bentley.

Now, he is "Blue Bentley Liew” on the registration.

He sort of looks a lot like my old cat that died 3 years ago.  Mel Mel, a Siamese-Tonkinese cross breed cat who was 11 years old and died of illness 3 years ago.

Blue’s character is just like Mel Mel.  He is Jay’s cat.

This is Blue.

Yesterday, my wife reported that Blue caught a lizard in the toilet.  Good job Blue.  Too bad, there is no footage on that.

This morning, when I wake up and go to the toilet.

I saw this amazing scene.

Blue Blue caught a cockroach and play with it until the cockroach died.

Wahahahahahaha!  Good job Blue!

Very good job!  Well done Blue.  Blue - Just like the Velociraptor in Jurassic World.  (No Charlie and Echo).  

Blue hunts at night and keep the house clear of roaches.

And he likes to play with it after he caught it.  It is his trophy.

I quickly take it away and wipe his feet.  Good job!

You have earned your stay in this home.  hahahaha

Did I mentioned that, there is a younger cat too?  

He is three months younger than Blue.

This got to be Kay Kay’s cat.  As this cat is very small size and thin.

Meet “Sky Liew”.

IMG 7121

Sky is a local breed ragdoll.  At the first glance, I saw Molly (our 14 years old cat who pass away last week) in the face.  He looks really like Molly when Molly was young.

Molly is mistakenly labelled as a female cat at first at the Pet store.  

Only at night when we bring both the cat to do their first check up at Joyous Vet, Dr. Heng, our long term vet-friend-and-doctor told us, that Sky is actually a boy boy cat.

Oh well, sorry Boon, you are indeed out numbered at home.  2 male cats, 2 boys and a husband.  hahahahahaha

Sky spent two nights sleeping in the kids room, as we need to separate both of them for few days before getting them to used to each other.  So that both cats well not fight.

And the kids love it.

And we think it is about time to introduce young pets in the family for the kids.

This will teach them to be responsible.

It is very important to teach them such 爱心 since young. 

They will need to change their food, change the water, when they get older, may be clean up the poo, and wipe their eyes, and hands and legs… 

Play with them every day, etc.

Our previous 2 cats lives a long life.  So, let’s see whether this two can out beat them or not.  :)

The new cats are our Blue Sky!

Very painful, poke the needle, pump water out from the lungs, eat medicines...

Very weak... Managed to come home for a week, but then, we have decided to put him away as his lungs is full of water again, and the vets already said it is a miracle for him to survey for that week...

A Good Deed Indeed!

Date:  July 22, 2011

Meanwhile at the Pets Clinic.... There was this lady who just put her cat to sleep was weeping.

My wife asked her...."What's wrong?"

She said "My cat just died."

My wife: "Don't feel sad... "

She said "I didn't treat her well, and she died, and now I don't even have money to cremete her."

NewImage.jpg

My wife, who just learned that 六味地黄丸 has somehow saved Mel Mel (my cat) life.  Ask her "Is there anything I can do?"

Shes shake her head, "The doctor originally wanted to help me cremate her, but then the doctor take back his word..."

My wife, explained "OK.  How about this... I nearly lost my cat, and the vets said my cat can't make it thru today"....

My wife continue... "So, I have arranged some one to come and cremate my cat, but now, it seems that I don't need that anymore, do you want the ashes back?  This service is cheaper than the clinic one, and you gets to collect the ashes back..."

My wife asked passed the money, about $220 to her and gave her the contact...

She thanks gratefully, but she said "but I am afraid I don't have enough money to call too, I only have $0.20 in my prepaid card that is enough for me to do SMS..."...

My wife then said... "OK, don't worry... I will call them, and I will make sure you can take back the ashes..."

My wife picked up her mobile and call the Mobile Pets Cremation Service, and arranged them to come to the clinic, and tell the guy "Please make sure you only collect $220, as she has only $220 with her!".

She thanks again.... very gratefully, and at last a smile on the face...

My wife then learned that she is quite broke, as she is now waiting to sell her HDB, waiting for the money to come in... That is why she does not have a lot of money with her...

My wife smiled and bring Mel Mel home...

IMG_8348.jpg

I am very proud of her. :)

NewImage.jpg

After my wife told me the story... she said... "Oh ya... My purse has only $20 left."...

So, you know what to do....  :( HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Mel Mel Fight For Survive

Date: July 22, 2011

This is the first cat I bought for my wife.  His name is Mel Mel.  It was about 10+ years ago when he came to our home.

door-r2.jpg

Mel Mel is a mix breed of Birman and Tokinese.

mel alone.jpg

Being a mix breed always got a lot of problem with health.  7 Years ago, he was diagnosed with kidney problem, which flooded his lungs with water.  He almost die 7 years ago when he was 3-4 years old.

IMG_0484_2.JPG

He is very nice cat.  I like him.  (Better than that si-si Molly, another cat of mine, who is a Ragdoll)

Mel 2.JPG

Usually on average, a cat can survive around 7-10 years.  So, this week, Mel Mel started to have symtoms of major health problem.  His lungs got water again.  So, we have to sent him to the vets for operations to suck out all the water in his lungs.  At the same time treat him, and drip him, etc.

IMG_1266.jpg

Poor Mel Mel stays in the hospital for several days.  Vets give him a drip.

melmel.jpg

He has been lying in pets hospital for few days, and all the vets guess he cannot make it today.  So as a last resort, Vets with our agreement, go and find 六味地黄丸, a TCM that normally cures kidneys illness... And surprisingly, he survive... but still very weak today... so, we have to monitor him more... and he is now at home... TCM very TOK KONG ah!!!

IMG_8350.jpg

Of coruse, he also taken some kidney medicines too..

IMG_8351.jpg

Poor Mel Mel... I think he suffers a lot...

IMG_8348.jpg

Mel Mel, please get well soon.  Hope you can make it...

Here are some info about the TCM (in Chinese)

六味地黄王
六味地黄丸由熟地黄、山茱萸、山药、泽泻、丹皮、茯苓这六味中药组成。六味地黄丸以滋补肾阴为主;此外,从药方的组成来看,它可以达到三阴同补(补肾阴、补肝阴、补脾阴)的效果.此药三类人群不宜服用:  一是健康人群。虽说这种药可能有保健作用,短时期吃不会有什么副作用,但“是药三分毒”,长期吃的话,很可能出现腹胀、溏便、食欲不振等不良反应。  二是明显是阳虚(包括肾阳虚、脾阳虚)的人。许多因肾阳不足引起的勃起功能障碍患者,还一味地服用六味地黄丸,病症就会“雪上加霜”。他们应该选择治疗肾阳虚的药物,比如金匮肾气丸。  三是肾阴虚但脾胃功能不好的人。六味地黄丸是偏于补阴的药,配方中阴柔的药多一些,吃了后会妨碍消化功能。中老年人一般脾胃功能不强,服用更要谨慎。间断吃,影响不大;长期连续服用的话,就不可取了。
