Cute advert-Bright Smile! Kitty Dress

Saw this advert on a Pet's Magazine!

Superb cute!

Happened to see this baby toothbrush,

want to start brushing teeth for Nugget and Creamie again... 

Alas, Creamie refused to open her Golden Mouth

and Nugget's gums bleed...

Not a good start... haiz... 

------------------

Took this the other day when they were enjoying their 4-dimensional TV time! They sometimes wait at the door when a family member returns (before the lift door even opens!)

Have been eyeing on this dress for a while...

Luckily this didnt happen to me...Phew

Today's Norm:

--------------
3 weeks ago, I brought Nugget to the vet. He has got a mysterious bald patch near his where his scrotum should have been, if I havent deprived him of his chance to be a father. I swear the bald patch just appear for no obvious reasons, he wasnt licking/grooming the area excessively, no straining when pee, diet is as per normal and he is still as "highly strung" (used to describe cats that are so what crazy and zooms ard the house up and down for no apparent reasons).

Dr.Handsome did some skin scrapping, pulled some fur from the area and planned to grow them in the lab, some stem cell growing/test they call it. Need to see if it's ringworm or some other skin diesease. Results out in two weeks. Meanwhile, he suggested that the nagging built up of dirt in Nugget's left ear could be due to yeast infection. This ear problem has been with him ever since i first got him and rid his ears of ear mites problem. Obviously it's not just wax built up like what many vets had suggested (including Dr.Handsome), cos it seemed to hurt when I tried to clean THAT particular side of the ear. I am willing to give it a shot to clear him permanently of the pain, also, it's quite painful to clean his ears every other day, he hates it and I hate it that he hates it!

So.... armed with yet another assortment of ear drops and cream, the bill came up to $160. gosh... it's really expensive + i'll have to go back to him in 2 weeks' time.

During the two weeks before the return for lab test results, it's like fighting a war with Nugget.
--------------------
Morning:
-Catch n chase him, apply Cream on bum.
-Catch n chase him, Attempt to clean ears, Pin him down to put ear drops.
-Play with him for the next 15mins at least so he is distracted from licking his medication off.

Thruout the day:
-Try to Prevent him from licking his bum area. I didnt wann put an Elizabeth collar on him as cats are known to like Free&Easy when eating, drinking + he needs to groom this other areas too!

Evening:
-Catch n chase him, apply Cream on bum.
-Play with him for the next 15mins at least so he is distracted from licking his medication off.
------------
It's really shag... but worse is the Heart Wretching Meow he has... very pitiful kind... Btw, he Meows like that and even worse when u say and wave Bye Bye to him...

Anyway, some time 1 week into this process, my brother called me out of the blue and spoke in his most stoccato manner:
"Girl! Ur vet called me and say something abt Nugget, I dont understand what he's saying! U better call them back now!!!!"
He gave me the shock! I quickly called the vet only to discover that they merely wanted to knw how is his condition (ear n skin), lab results will be out only when we visit them again after the 2 weeks!

So imagine the scare if it's dreadful results for eg: "Ur cat has Skin cancer!"
I'll faint on the spot man! **Btw, Skin cancer is quite common for white cats who dun realised that sunbathing is not exactly the best way to look tan n beautiful!

Well, luckily it didnt happen to me... 
in fact, i am rather pleased this time... though it's quite a bomb (the 2nd vet visit cost me $60. that's $220 for this matter). Nugget's ears are turning for the better, FINALLY!!! In fact this is the one time his ears are not dirty and he doesnt whine that much anymore... the tonality of his Meowing is almost the same as cleaning his Good ear already! kekek! Less Pain, means yeast infection Gone!! WOOOOOHOOOO! PLus, there's nothing to worry abt the bald patch on his bum, the fur have since grown back slightly, no ringworms or whatever parasites can be detect from the lab test - it's just another case of idiosyncrasy.

Btw, this is done by Stella:

Cat Model for TV

I think my Creamie girl can be a model for the TV...
Taglines: Svelte, elegance, upper class

"Even your cat wants it..."

Kitty Videos

Took these some time back...
Creamie loves to play with this whenever I am back, she will whine non stop begging for me to play this game with her! She will even pick up the toy and drag it over, drop it in front of me then give me her "sad kitten" look aka "Puss in the boots" look....

Cute lah... all the weary just melt away...

Here's Nugget enjoying the comfort of his make-shift bed-my legs. he's really cute, kept trying to catch my attention while I was reading and and "listening" to the TV. When he realised that I am not abt to give in to his nudging, he ploughed himself in between my legs and settled in comfortably!

Sweet lah!

How many BLOODY combs does one need?

Confession time! ok.... ahem.... ready or not, but I do not own a comb, at least not anymore since i chop off my hair. That means I havent comb my hair for probably a decade!! Hahhah! Are u still on ur chair?

I duno, but the little tuff of bush on my head dun really call for the need of a comb! Magic Fingers will do the job!

But, I have spent quite abit on my kitties' comb/brush!

Just how many is enough?!

They have three in total, excluding one rubber one which they refuse to use n I use it to "comb" my bed of their fur, and the one which cost $130 (to shed their fur)......

OK ok, they have FIVE BLOODY Brushes! Ok! Damnit!

The problem is, they go by trial n error mostly! It's doom when they reject the comb at the 1st sight! n everytime I whip that particular one out, they will run and hide! If it's the one they like, they will come to me n purr non stop! 

The one that I was using for the longest time ever is breaking into pieces... so I bot another one (which they really hate), n yest bot another 1 (which they really like) - phew! They are really attas cats lor! They new one cost a whopping $11! Yes yes, I know - I wun even spend $5 for a meal if I were to eat out on my own! ArgH! The life of a Mummy!

Since creamie's collar broke, bot a new one for Nugget too! Best, on their Godma, Starry Stella's account! Kekeke! Pple's kids get Gold chains from their Godparents leh, 2 collars n a brush is not too much to ask for right?

I think the blue compliments Creamie's blue eyes very well!

Well, they are the sweetest I can ask for... this is what happens whenever someone leaves the house or when a family member is coming back!

"Is there you Mummy?"

Strangely, they seem to know already whether the person coming up the lift is a family member or not!

1st: If they scamper to the door and wait = FAMILY MEMBER! 

Usually after counting to 3, then "DingDong" from the lift, then count to 5,

VIOLA, family member at Doorstep!

There's a reverse way around this situation.

1st: If they suddenly scamper to hide in my room = STRANGER!

Usually after counting to 3, then "DingDong", then count to 5, 

HEAR the neighbour opening their doors. 

They have psychic powers!!!

*MEOW!*

Will anyone date me, for i am the woman with cats?

For a long time, woman keeping cats have been associated with Singledom, Lonely, and strange...

we heard it all the time!

"That spinster neighbour of mine! She kept 9 cats!"

"Have u heard? The old lady was dead for 2 weeks, if not for the constant meowing of her cats, no one would discover the body!"

Just watch Sex in the City 1 Movie, there were toks abt being discovered dead without a face cos the cat kept by the single woman was so hungry that the cat ate her face!

Still not convinced? Just Google "single woman with cats", u will get loads of prompts!

Personally, men n cats are very similar! One thing for sure, they only come to u when they want attention, if u really want the attention of a man cat - ignore it! It works! It will come meowing n purring at ur feet! Of cos man do it in a more subtle way, prehaps one day i'll find someone who will gladly lick my toes the way Nugget does! kekeke!

Men or cats, i'll vote the latter anytime. If I can have both, that's BEST!!! 

Quote:

"In reality, women don't substitute cats for relationships, at the very most they might substitute cats for horrible relationships they're very glad they didn't have their moggies providing a furry Linus blanket until someone nice comes along."

 One thing I really like abt Cats comparing to Men, they'll watch whichever TV channel i want! Including Sobby korean Drama series! Nugget seemed to pay a decent amount of attention to the story plot too!



Saw this on Norm n thought it's really funny!

I am proud to be a Woman with Cats...

& I just happen to Single! YAY! =D

My darling girl girl is so sweeeetttt.......

Creamie has been really notti lately, mayb cos she missed me n wants my attention alot....
she meows automatically at day break, as if to wake the lazy mummy up to feed her....
she meows non stop at her plate when i attempt to read in bed, cos she knows when i turn off the lamp, i'll be ignoring her meows...

Usually she will stop after I pat n sayang her, or brush her fur, or feed her water like a cat mummy... yes, thru my mouth, she learnt this trick as "Creamie, KISS KISS!"

See how she demands for her share of my dragonfruit!

I notice a trend, only when it's pouring, will i catch the two of my cute babies sleeping together...
Only when Creamie knows Nugget the notti boy seem terrified by the thunder, will she allow him to squeeze with her in bed.... she's really sweet, she will also groom (lick) nugget ard the face, as if to calm him down... or she could really mean :" U dirty boy! Dun u dare come close to me without me cleaning up ur face 1st!"

Usually something like this will happen...

Usually Nugget dun seem to mind at all...

he is just contented that 姐姐creamie is there for him!

Damn cute!

Random...Hair, Cats, Cooking

Time flies...

Nugget Boy is almost as big in size as Creamie Girl liao....

From this:

To THIS:

------------

& my Hair, that tuff of bush on my head...

Time for another trim...

Should I do an Emma Watson....

or a Rihanna....

The tuff on the top is still not enough for either....

so it's Boy boy style for now...

----------

Baking...

Time flies the last time i baked was bloody long ago, my stock of butter turned mouldy n smell like cheese-BLUE CHEESE!! I had to go out last min n get some new butter!

Made some ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS!

-YAY! They raised Beautifully! The trick? Preheat the oven to above the said temp in the recipe! recipe said 180C, I preheat to 200C then after I put in the muffins, I turned it down. the preheat temp will make them rise quickly, then the normal temp (180C) will slowly cook the muffin! YAY! it worked!

Cute Vet, Ugly Bill

I went for a cat show over the weekend (Sunday) at the Tampines West CC w Stella. It's our first cat show n it's just amazing!!

Educational Posters from the Cat Welfare Society.

and on the morning of the cat show, the cat welfare society

volunteers found even more kittens abandoned!

OMG! Volunteers feeding the meowing kittens! 

I ran into a very friendly cat lover at the Cat show n he gave me a recommendation of the vet very near my place. In fact I pass by it very often but after I failed to get a medication from them once, I never return.

So I made the appt to bring in my babies... the distance is so near yet so far - too far n heavy to walk the carrier there, too near to take a cab. in the end, I decided to take the cab - boarding was $2.80. I gladly paid the $3 w joy as the Trip meter jumped when I open the taxi door!


I have to admit, I am a sucker for vets.... both female n male.
Or maybe I should give myself some credit, they are true animal lovers - what more can I ask for?!

To be a Singaporean and a Vet, it's really an uphill route from the start!
1st: Typical parents will tell u to be a Human doctor instead!
*Did u knw that LKY's wife dissuade Dr Lee Wee Ling, who was fond of dogs, against a career as a vet. (now the head of singapore’s national neuroscience institute). No joke, from the horses' mouth cos I read it from her weekly column, which I follow religiously! - Read it here

2nd: There aint Vet courses in the many Universities here in Singapore - said to be a WORLD CLASS EDUCATIONAL HUB!

3rd: You have to be rich! A typical Singaporean aspiring  to be vet must be prepared to pay alot more for universities fees (considered Science faculty - which is almost double of a normal Biz Degree), likelyhood no or very little exemptions from modules, usually have to take a Foundation Year (1 year to cover the lack of Science subjects in college years) + 4 years typical of a Veterinary Science Course. On top of that, the nearest you can take such a course will be in AUS, the typical n most well known amongst Singaporeans - Murdoch Uni. Some other popular ones will be Uni of Sydney or Massey Uni (NZ). 

Why I know all these? Cos I am a Sore- loser who so wish I can do all these!
I failed all criterias...
Now, u would understand my fetish for vets.... esp cute n handsome ones!

I am thankful to learn that the routine health check up for my babies are good! But my hand trembled when they break the cruel news to me.... the bill was a F**King $247! I calmly surrender my VISA n asked for the bill breakdown politely. The consultation for health check up was only abt $60 for both cats... i asked for some additives for their lousy teeth condition + yet another ear cleaner for Nugget's persistent ear was problem...

This bloody water additive cost $66

*luckily only 1/4 pump to be added to every 1 cup of their drinking water

Lotsa wastage though cos they wun finish all the water anyway!

 

This toothpaste cos $48

*And there I was complaining that my $8.50 Cologate Sensitive Toothpaste is expensive! This is like almost SIX bloody times more expensive than mine!

Plus, creamie bite thru my index finger when I tried to massage her teeth n gums w it! OUCH!

 

This $44 ear cleaner adds to my collection.

* Nugget hates to have his left ear cleaned... it's like fighting a spider cat who tries all means to wriggle outa my hands and jumping all ard the room n over the furniture.
Not to mention $35 for a Swap test
for Nugget's ears to make sure those blackish stuff are not ear Mites!

There u go.... for the love of my babies! No to mention that I bot all the cat nibbles I can manage to carry home from the cat show - cos the deal was too good to miss! Another burnt hole to my wallet!

Here I am trying to cut my expenses and staying afloat? Was it really worth it?!
You Bet!
My babies are the most impt to me now.....
Besides,
The vet is superb Cute n Handsome..... and single - no ring as far as I can see! There u go!
