2012 Is A Leap Year!

Assalam..

Hi everyone in the blog-sphere :) I am here again today because I wanted to publish something on this special day - a leap year :) We will meet the leap year again in four years time. I hope I will still be around on the next leap year (2016)...

In my last entry (on my birthday) I promised to introduce our new members of the family. I f you could remember the last members I introduced were Aurora and SJ.

Our new members are...

Comel and Comot both of them were from Johor Bahru. More than 300km from our home. They are brother and sister so Kakak wanted them to stay together. Comel means cute and Comot means untidy :D because he always dirty himself by playing in the litter tray... There is something that is so special about Comel & Comot - they share same birth date with our Kakak. That's why Kakak wanted them so much :/

Comot (male)

Comel (female)

The newest member in our family is Aflah. He was found on the 28th January near a road side and full of big red ants all over his body. It is just his luck, Ayah stopped at the road side to ask for the way to umie's friend's house and kakak saw something moving in the bush. Kakak was curios to know what it is. Kakak was so shocked to see him and called umie to look at him. At first umie thought that he was dead but actually he was suffering bitten by the big red ants :(( Therefore umie and Kakak decided to take him home. He was taken to the vet and was told that he was around 5 weeks old and weight around 250gm only. However he's now growing well and could also get along well with the other members of the family.

Aflah : This pictuere was taken on the second day he was rescued

Aflah with Khayla

Two of our human sisters, Kak Adik and Kak Baby haven't seen Aflah yet because they are studying in Johor Bahru. They will be coming back mid of March for the first term school holidays :) I guess they will like to play with Aflah. I will be waiting for them to come back because I miss them so much ...

I will try to update again... Therefore, until we meet again, I would like to wish all of you a very nice day...

11.11.11

This is my latest picture..Kak just took it minutes ago...I lost my weight :P

Assalam and hello to all of you out there. It has been ages I have not updated this blog. I do not know why I became so lazy to write and post something here. It’s been already for months I have kept silent. However, today I feel compelled to update the blog because it is a very special date. I guess the whole world feels today's date is so special to be remembered. Therefore, today I also want to write something on this blog.

Auni is doing very well

Actually, at home only umi, ayah and us the furkids. Kak Adik and Kak Baby went to school in JB. While our big sister, Kakak is now studying in college. However, Kakak is now at home because she is on her semester break. We feel very happy when Kakak is at home because Kakak will spend her time with us. We also looking forward Kak Adik and Kak Baby to come back home from their end of year school holidays.

CP has to be on the e-collar until his eye ulcer healed

I would like to inform you all that we are all in good health. It is only CP at the moment who is having eye problems. He is now suffering from an ulcer in his right eye. It has been almost a month since umi has gone to the clinic for Cp’s eye treatment. Umi went to see the vet twice with some medications but it seems that his eye ulcer did not show any signs of healing. Therefore umi decided to take him to the Animal's Hospital. CP was given some medications and eye ointment but still no improvement. After a week umi took him back to the hospital and the vet told umi that CP’s right eye has to be stiched up so that it could heal better. Finally CP had a surgery on his eye. Today umi and Kakak brought CP to the hospital to unstitch his eye. He was given some medications and eye drops as his eye ulcer has not totally healed.

They are not from same mum...but the are very close and get along very well

I would also like to introduce the new members of our house. They are SJ and Aurora. Umi took them from JB last September. They are so active, especially SJ. He is very playful and he has broken many things in the room. Aurora is not as active as SJ, but she has problems with weeing and pooing because she likes to wee and poo on the bed rather than in the litter tray. She would wee and poo in the litter tray only when umi is in the room. It seems that in front of umi she wants to show her good attitude. We hope Aurora will stop her bad habit and it will help umi from cleaning every morning and afternoon.

Hana is very attached to ayah... she sleeps with ayah day and night

For your information, Hana will be spayed on the 22nd of November. Actually umi sent Hana to be spayed last few months but the vet can’t continue the procedure because she had problems with her liver and kidneys. Therefore she was given some medications to treat the problem she is having. Now Hana looks good and healthy but the vet advised umi to take Hana to the Animals Hospital because their clinic has not got complete equipments in case the same thing happens to Hana again. I Hope Hana will be fine during the procedure of spaying her.

SJ is an hyperactive!

In conjunction with this special date, I would expect all my friends out there to also feel special because I and the other cats always remember all of you even though I seldom update our blog. I hope that our friendship in cyberspace will be prolonged even though I am not actively updating the blog. I Hope 11:11:11 will be continued to be remembered and I did not stop from updating the blog on this special date. With the support of all friends, I will try to update this blog frequently. Until we meet again in the future, I on behalf of my brothers and sisters wish to see you all again in the other entry... I will put Nimra's,Yoruhime's, Alif's, Xing Yun's, Romie's and Khayla's latest pictures in the next entry ;)

.

Aurora got missing twice! She likes to escape from the room

Until we meet again. We wish all of you a happy and wonderful day... Take care...

Dedicated to our beloved ayah ~Happy Birthday To You~

Mahzuz: My wound is healed

Assalam and hello to all our cyber friends. Hope all of you are doing well...

Xing Yun: She still has her collar with her name - we lost ours :/

I am here again to update our blog but today is a special entry dedicated to our beloved ayah. Today is his birthday and we would like to wish him a very happy birthday.

Ayah, may God bless you with health, wealth and prosperity for the rest of your life.

Auni: She still has her collar with her name too! She's really good of keeping her belongings.

We are so thankful to our ayah because he always takes care of us. Everyday he would play with us especially when we were little. However he still does the same things to fill our day. Ayah is very creative because he would always have new ideas to play games with us and we really have fun in every moment we spend with him.

Yoruhime: She likes to hiss at us :(

As a special day for ayah, we want him to be happy but we have nothing to give him as a birthday present. Therefore we hope ayah will like our special entry for him ;)

Here are our latest pictures which we could upload here to show him how much we love him and for all our friends hope you all like our pictures too ;)

Alif: He is ayah's favourite fur kid ;)

Khayla: She is doing very well... She sleeps with umie every night :p

Romie: He just got neutered but after being neutered, he became very aggressive!

CP : He will be neutered too! Umie will make an appointment ASAP for him :D

Nimra: She is being naughty because she likes to hang outside most of the time

Hana: She is getting better but umie has to take her to the vet again to examine her health condition :S

Li Wei: The new kitten umie rescued last few weeks. His wound has already healed and his tail's fur is growing. He is very active! He always wants us to play with him :D

We hope all of you enjoy reading this entry and looking at our pictures... At the moment it is only us in the house... We hope to have more brothers and sisters with us in the future :)

Until we meet in another entry... we wish all of you a very happy day... Take care...

Hugs;

Mahzuz and the gang

After 3 months...

Look at my wound!~ - but it's healing now :)

Assalam and hello to everyone out there...

First of all I would like to tell you that we miss all of you so much!!! I would also want to apologize for my laziness in updating our blog. I myself was not well and wounded my throat but now I have recovered. The wounded is now healed. I'll ask umie to upload my latest pics ;)

Chiku will always be in our hearts

Today is the 13th of July and exactly 3 months since our beloved Chiku went missing... It's not only that today is the 13th, but also Wednesday, the day Chiku suddenly disappeared :( Since he is lost, we keep praying and hoping that he will come back home. Whatever it is, our thoughts will always be with him.

Ryzki - few days after he was with us - umie took him traveled with her

Actually there were few things happened since my last entry... Umie had adopted new little kitty that we named him Ryzki but he was with us for a while when he also went missing :( Umie have looked around the block but still can't find him.

Ryzki cute face - we hope that he's in a good home if someone has taken him

After that, umie and kakak found a lady cat with fungi all over her body. They took her home and gave her some treatment. She is now doing well even though she is under medication due to her kidneys and lung problems. We hope that she will get better.

Hana - before

Hana now :)

Last two weeks when umie went to the bazaar, she saw a little kitty almost knocked down by a car, she took him home. He also had a big wound on his tummy. Umie took him to the vet and now he's doing well. His wound is also healing.

Look at his tail - he's lost his fur :p

The big wound on his tummy is healing

For the other members of the family, they are doing well. Khayla was on the Live Tv Show with umie last Sunday, for an interview about stray cats. Khayla behaved very well and she also looked very pretty. Umie said that she will bring me along if the tv producer invites her again ;) but I don't think I can behave as well as Khayla did.

Here is the link of umie's and Khayla during the tv interview. This is only part of the interview and we hope that the tv producer will invite umie again to talk about stray cats which are like all of us... We are all lucky strays that umie took home and became part of the family :)

Nimra is just like me, she likes to stay outside and umie doesn't like it :/

Xing Yun and Nimra, they are doing very well but Alif, Yoruhime and Auni had a cold. However they are recovering after umie took them to the vet. Romie was neutered last week and CP will get his turn soon :p

I guess, that's all what I can write for now... after three months of losing our beloved Chiku... where ever he is... he will always be in our heart and we will always be thinking of him...

Until we meet again, take care...

Love and hugs

Mahzuz & the gang

May Day = Chiku's birthday... :((

Chiku is not here to celebrate his 4th birthday :(

Assalam and Hello, Mahzuz here to wish all of you a Happy May Day, Happy Labour Day and have a really good rest... For myself, I don't work so I always have good time to rest :D

Today is our big brother's birthday but so sad that he's not around to celebrate his birthday :( Since he went missing on 13th April, we still keep hoping he will come back. Yesterday kakak said she dreamt of Chiku, in her dream, Chiku came back home and he was very healthy. No saliva dripping from his mouth as before. He looks really good. How we wish kakak's dream came true!

We heard that umie said that she will still celebrate Chiku's birthday although he is not around. May be umie will defrost the Chiken that umie had already steamed for Chiku for us to eat... It's really sad and we can only wish he returns home soon... Since Chiku left, I took over his place to look after the others. I will protect them from intruders and outsiders..

Tomorrow umie & her twin sister will go to Bandung for a week. We will be staying with ayah and kakak. I want umie to go with free mind, not to worry about us so I will make sure to stay at home and look after my little sisters and brother.

Ok dear...once again, have a happy May Day and have nice bright day :)

Where is Chiku? :(

Assalam and hello...

It's already a week since our Chiku went missing. Until today, we still hope he will come back. We have looked arund for him but we failed to find him :((

All of us are very sad and umie still keeps the chicken's keels that she steamed for Chiku the night before he was missing. Umie didn't let us to have it because she hopes Chiku will return home. We don't know, how long she will keep it in the freezer :? We understand it and we don't mind at all. Moreover we have enough food and can eat at any time we like ;)

As I have mentioned in my last entry, when I knew Chiku was missing, I spent most of my time at home. I do go out for a while but I'll make sure I am around in the house, especially when umie is at home. I know, umie will feel better when she sees me in the house. That make me feel better as well :p

What has actually happened to Chiku? No one knows because he just disappeared without any notes or signs :( What ever it is, we keep praying for his safety. Some people said that he might already be at the rainbow bridge :(( If it's true, we hope he's happy over there, playing with Itni and Envy, his best friends since he was little... One day I might go to the rainbow bridge too and hope all my beloved sisters and brothers wait for me and cross the rainbow bridge together with me... Oh no! I shoudn't talk about it... umie doesn't like it :p

Some people say he might already be at the rainbow bridge :(

Please pray for our Chiku... wherever he is, wish him safe and peace...

Take care... hugs and love from Mahzuz and the gang :-*

Breaking News: Chiku is missing :(

This is Chiku when he was small

Assalam and Hello to everyone...

I am here to ask for all our friends prayers and purrs for our big brother Chiku.

13 April - Chiku did not come back home :(

Last, we saw him was in the morning when ayah fed us our breakfast. As usual Chiku did not eat because he only wanted to eat steamed chicken. At that time umie was so tired, since she just came back from the airport to drop the Indonesian lady. Therefore umie straight away continued her sleep. When umie woke up, umie had to go out with kakak and ayah too, had something to do outside. So as usual, all of us will stay at home for awhile and we are big enough to look after ourselves. When umie came back late in the evening, umie noticed that Chiku was not home. Umie tried to look for him but he was not anywhere in the house or in front of the house as usual. Umie kept looking for him until late at night but still has no sign of him. All of us were so worried. Until now Chiku is still missing...

Umie and kakak are so sad because they don't think anyone would kidnap him because he has been in and out since the first time he stayed in this house. Umie and kakak have looked and asked around the neighbourhood and still can't find our Chiku :(

When he was little, Chiku liked to play with TORTISE

How could umie and kakak did not worry of him because he's not very well. He has to take his medicines thrice a day. It's umie and kakak's routine to feed him and to make sure he eats his medicine and food. Therefore when Chiku went missing umie and kakak just couldn't close their eyes...

Since Chiku was missing i did not hang around out side very much. I spent most of my time at home and i even laid down next to umie everytime she performs her prayers. I wanted to tell umie that i am still around and will support her during this time. I don't want umie to be more worried if i am also not at home.

Chiku: He's cute right!

14 April - Keep looking for Chiku

Umie, Kakak and minus Ayah still kept looking and asking our neighbours if they have seen Chiku but they got a negative feedbacks. None of the neighbours said they've seen Chiku on the day he was missing :(( However umie and kakak did not give up. They kept on looking, they walked around the neighbourhood hoping they would find Chiku. Alif, Yoruhime, Auni, Nimra and myself walked with umie and kakak to look for Chiku. It's quite a long way but we still wanted to look for him. We sniffed here and there, that made umie and kakak thinkt that we smelt something of Chiku. Sadly after a long way walking, we did not find him. Therefore umie decided to go back home and will continue to look for him again...

15 April - Still hoping Chiku returns home

Kakak can't sleep well the whole night, she kept thinking of Chiku's safety. Therefore very early in the morning kakak went out to search for him. Just like yesterday, kakak did not find him and that made kakak feel really sad. What else could we do to find our Chiku???

Some people said that, some cats when the time comes for them to die, they will disappear... That's what they believe in their culture. When umie and kakak were told about that, they became more sad because they don't want to lost him, especially without saying good bye :((

Chiku: handsome boy ;)

Do you believe what those people believe? Please, i hope umie and kakak will be at my side when the time comes for me to leave this world. I don't want them to worry... I know if i am dead, they will get sad but at least they know that i am not in this world anymore... just look at Fatimah Megumi, we don't know what actually had happened to her... Now Chiku is missing like Fatimah Megumi too... Until now umie and kakak still hoping Chiku and Fatimah Megumi will come back...

Chiku... please come back

We hope that Chiku will come back home safely... Please keep praying and purring for our Chiku to come back... He needs his medicine and actually he's recovering slowly from his illness...

Until we meet again, hugs and kisses from me (Mahzuz) and the gang...

April - A week Entry -

Assalam & Hello to everyone...

I hope all of you are happy and in good health. As for us here, we are all doing well too. From the tittle of my post, i will write few things to share ;)

1st & 2nd April

Our umie and umi Teh's birthday. We hope both umie's and umi Teh's dreams will come true. During umie's birthday, she was not around, she attended a wedding ceremony in Besut and she stayed in Kota Bahru. When she was in KB, she met her sister in-law with two little girls. Umie came back on the 2nd of April and she got a big kiss (Meowwwwwwwwww) from me because that's all I can give her hehehehhe :D

4th April

Umie got a visitor from Indonesia. She was umi Teh's friend's cousin sister. She has something to do in KL but she doesn't know anyone in Malaysia so umie invited her to stay with us while she is here. She looks nice but actually she doesn't really like cats :( I could know it because everytime i tried to come near her she will avoid me :(( Anyway, she does not do anything that hurt us but she did lock all the bedroom windows and that made Xing Yun unable to get into the room. While she is here, Xing Yun and Chin Peng have to share bed room because the lady is using Xing Yun's room :D

6th April

The Indonesia lady went to Singapore so Xing Yun got back her room. Xing Yun seems very happy to be in her room again. If not she will be bullied by Chin Peng :( Lately Chin Peng becomes very aggressive... I really pity Xing Yun because she has'nt got anyone to turn to accept me but yet i always hanging out :/

8th April

Umie and kakak will take me, Chin Peng and Xing Yun to the vet. It's only us that haven't got our spot-on combo yet because during the time umie took the others to the vet, I was not at home.... Actually i am thinking of going out for a while because the vet will only open at 10 am hehehehe :D However I heard umie telling kakak to lock me when I am at home because I like to hang out at the empty house few blocks from our home. Yesterday kakak went to the empty house to look for me. Yeahhhh I was there. I haven't seen kakak for a while since I've been busy with patrolling the road so when i saw her I said hi and followed her home :p

That's all i can write for this week... until we meet again, have a happy and wonderful day :)

Hugs & love

Mahzuz & the gang

One Entry with many stories :)

~Nimra~

Salam and hello to all our friends…

It has been ages since our last entry. We are all very busy with our routines. For me, I spent most of my time hanging around outside. I like to be alone at the empty house, which is a few houses from ours but umie doesn't like it. She prefers me to stay at home. For umie, almost every weekend she’s out to other places. Even now, she has already got her flight tickets for the next weekend to Alor Setar, Kota Bahru, Kota Kinabalu and of course to Johor Bahru.

My entry today be about few things that occurred since the last entry. Here they are:

17 February 2011 – Umie made an appointment and took Chiku to see Dr. Tan. Actually umie got to know about a new antiviral for FIV and FeLV. However the antiviral was still on trial. Umie managed to get the vet's contact number and she rang Dr. Tan to get more info about it. Dr. Tan gave the antiviral and umie has to feed Chiku 3 times a day. It’s already a month since Chiku took the antiviral, it’s difficult to say if the antiviral is working because Chiku’s condition is still unstable. One day he looks very well and after few days he'll look ill. However umie has tried her very best and hopes Chiku’s FeLV will be cured or the least he gets better. Before umie leaves to Johor Bahru, umie will take Chiku to see Dr. Tan again. We hope to get good news from him after he diagnoses Chiku.

24 February 2011 – In the afternoon, umie stopped to buy a coconut drink when she saw a stray cat looking for food. She took some cat food from her car and fed her. When umie walked back to her car, the cat followed her but umie couldn't take her home. However at night, when umie picked up Kakak, she told her about the stray cat. Kakak asked umie to go to the street where she saw the stray cat. At first they couldn't see her but later when umie took out some food and called her, she came out from her hiding place. Umie decided to take her home and now she's become one part of our big family. Umie named her Nimra (tigress)

6 March 2011 – Umie took Auni, Yoruhime, Alif, Khayla and Nimra to the vet. They were to be spayed/neutered. Alif was the first one to be neutered and he was doing well. Khayla's turn was after Alif's but when the vet performed the surgery, they found that Khayla was having an ovary tumor. Beside that she also had a big tumor near her stomach. The vet called umie to enter the surgery room and told umie that Khayla'scondition was very week. The vet told umie to keep praying and hope that Khayla's surgery will succeed. The vet took almost 3 hrs to take out and clear the tumor. Below is the picture of the tumors taken out from Khayla's tummy.

Thanks to God, Khayla's surgery was successful and also Auni's, Yoruhime's and Nimra's. All of them are now doing very well. However before the stitches were removed, all of them had to stay in the cage for a week. I felt sorry for them but I couldn't do anything to help them out of the cage. After all, it's for their own good :) Below is the video of Khayla during the surgery.

9 March 2011 - Romie managed to get out from the toilet window in Kakak's room. Ayah could'nt catch him, he ran away. He got lost! All of us were in panic. umie wasn't at home and Kakak had to look for Romie by herself. Kakak was lucky to have Chiku accompany her to look for Romie around the neighbourhood. Kakak was so proud of Chiku because although he was not very well but he still walked with her. However sometimes Kakak had to pick him up and carry him because he seemed too tired to continue walking. Kakak gave up looking for Romie and she told umie that she couldn't find him. Umie asked Kakak to close all doors and look for him in every room. Finally just when kakak collapsed on the floor, Kakak found Romie hiding under the table in Kak Adik's/Xing Yun's room. Romie... he's been naughty as well...but Angel and CP are very well behaved.

15 March 2011 - Ayah helped umie to take Auni, Yoruhime, Alif, Khayla and Nimra to the vet clinic for suture removal. Luckly Ayah was there to help because the vet just couldn't handle Yoruhime and Alif because they were so aggressive. Ayah helped to stroke them while umie had to help hold their legs. Auni, Khayla and Nirma behaved very well. Now all of them are free to play around.

16 March 2011 - Nimra went missing! Umie and Kakak were so worried but Ayah seemed so relaxed. He told umie not to worry because he knew that Nimra would come back. He said, Nimra would not go away because she now has a place to stay and a family to live with :) It's true, early in the morning, when umie woke up, Nimra was already in the house and sleeping on her favourite spot.

22 March 2011 - Alif was so aggressive since he has been neutered. It's is the opposite from what umie was told which was that a neutered cat will be more tamed and behave well. However it's not the case for Alif... he being very naughty... he keeps attacking other cats especially Xing Yun. It's so sad that Alif attacked and chased Xing Yun. I was not around to help and protect Xing Yun (as I mentioned earlier, I always hang around out side). Luckly umie managed to catch Xing Yun and put her back in her room. Sometimes Xing Yun likes to go out from her room but every time she goes out, Alif would attack her... She got traumatised and she even scratched umie when she tried to run from Alif. Hopefully, Alif will not attack Xing Yun anymore because Xing Yun also needs to play out side too.

24 March 2011 - Chiku's health is up and down :( One day he seems very good but the next day he looks very weak. Ayah helped umie to drive her to Dr. Tan's clinic in Puchong because umie has no confidence to drive on her own. Chiku was diagnosed having jaundice but Dr. Wong (Dr. Tan was away) said that Chiku's jaundice is very mild. She gave some liver tablets and also the FeLV antiviral for Chiku. Umie has to take him to the clinic after a week.

26 - March umie went to Johor Bahru/Singapore to visit Kak Adik, Kak Baby and umie’s parents in Singapore. Romie and Angel are in Johor too. Kak Adik and Kak Baby wanted to have one of them each and they will belong to them. So CP will be Kakak's white cat (I am her beloved black cat hehehehehe).

31 March - Again, Ayah drove umie to dr. Tan's clinic for Chiku's check-up. Chiku's still having the mouth ulcer due to the FeLV he has. However, Dr. Tan said that Chiku's ulcer is recovering although it will to take some time. Chiku was given some other medicines and also continues with the FeLV antiviral.

Tomorrow, very early in the morning umie will fly to Kota Bahru. She will be attending her friend's wedding reception. She will be there for only two days so we don't have to worry :p

I guess that's all I wanted to share after more than a month I did not update our blog. I will try to update more frequently because now I spend more time at home. It's raining almost everyday so I prefer to stay indoor. I don't like to wet my fur and I might get cold...

OK friends... until we meet again, have a nice day and take care.

Hugs from Mahzuz and 'the gang'
