THANKSGIVING – WOULD YOU TRUST YOR CAT TO BRING FOOD OVER?

Sassy had invited the J Family Kitties to an informal Thanksgiving Dinner and look what happened to the Turkey Pot Pie I had asked Jeremy to bring over? Gosh! That boy sure has a great appetite when it comes to delicious food. No wonder he is beginning to look like Garfield. Sweat~ I feel so shy for his bad behavior now. I guessed you guys won’t mind a missing piece from Turkey Pot Pie? Hehe... Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends out there…

PLEASE FEED ME

After resting for a few days, I had decided to go out for some stroll along the neighborhood to get some food. At least I can get some exercise as well as to avoid getting more bed sores. There was something else which made me wanting to go out to celebrate as I saw Papa Jonathan, Mimi, the few strays around and the puppies happily playing outside my neighborhood. The sight made me cried in tears. I was relieved that all of them were safe from the flood few days back.

As I sat down in a little coffee house at the corner, I saw an orange tabby begging for food from one table to another. I called and she came. She was so adorable. At the same time, I could see her lips moving as if she had yet to take her dinner. It hurts my heart to see a hungry cat.

Seeing such a sight, I stood up from where I was sitting and went into the coffee house to see if I could get some fish or chicken to feed her. When I came back, she was still quietly sitting down there waiting for me. Somehow, she was deep in thought. I wondered if she was thinking that it would be another hungry day for her.

Before my order came, she was still giving that sad look. Suddenly, she did something that I would never expect a stray cat would do. I was quick enough to capture what she did to make sure that she will get some food from me. Here a little movie I have made about her. Do enjoy viewing.

As a result, she got what she wanted. I gave her a big juicy chicken drumstick! All the diners were looking at me with a kind of weird stare. I ignored them as a hungry kitty was what was on my mind then. She ought to be fed until her heart’s content…

CATS ON TUESDAY – WHAT? AGAIN? ANOTHER?

The link above is where cat lovers all over the world gathered and share their updates on their pets on every Tuesday. Feel free to drop in if you are a cat lover.

I was just mentioning about THE FREE FOOD SIGNS on my wall yesterday and barely two hours ago, another stray kitten came knocking at my door asking for food and water. Gosh! Am I really destined to be the food provider for the strays?

The question is “Where did all these strays come from?” I have never seen some of them before in the neighborhood. Well, I have a soft heart even to the faintest purrs of a kitten in need. Of course, I did feed the kitten until her stomach was filled. But… sometimes I wondered if they were a bit too demanding. Why? Read on…

What should I answer? I can’t say no as they would go hungry. I can’t say yes too as there would be endless visits each week to burn a deeper hole in my cat food budget. I will just leave it to my destiny that more kind souls within my neighborhood will have more loves towards those strays…

THE FREE FOOD SIGNS

After some thinking, I realized that something might not be right with wherever I am staying now. Of all the 12 houses along my street, why must I be the only one that has been getting countless of strays coming around for food and water? This is getting to be weird as I am getting around one to two new strays popping in each week. It really puzzled me. Did some of the strays really put up some markings as some of you had mentioned earlier or did I move into a house where it has been a cat’s sanctuary for centuries? Even Mama Jessica was not happy with me at the rate I have been paying more attention to the strays then her J Family Kitties. Is there really some signs? I am not sure myself.

I spent some time during the weekend checking through all the possible signs around my garden to see if there were really some signs indicating that my house was the FREE FOOD CENTER in the neighborhood.

First, I checked my garden sofa which was badly scratched by my kitties as well as some of the strays which used to frequent my house. I do not think I see any signs there, do you?

I then checked my garden gate. There were some scratches on the metal gate but I do not think that has anything to do the strays leaving some marks.

Since my house is the last house at a no-through road, I decided to check on the wall. There some scratches but it was done about 5 feet above the ground. Do you think these could be the signs?

Finally, I checked on the rough part of the wall which has been there for tens of years. I noticed that there were some designs from the wear and tear of the weather through the years.

After studying the so called designs for some time, my hair stood up. I saw something mysterious that gave me the creep of my life. Am I imagining things or is that the signs I was looking for all these time? Those signs were right under my nose and I had never even taken a serious look at them after staying here for five years.

What do you think of the signs? Am I getting a bit wild in my imagination or I am fated to be THE FOOD PROVIDER for the strays for as long as I am staying here. I won’t know for sure. What do you think?

SOMEONE HAS BEEN STALKING MY CAT FOOD!

The prices of food and fuel had increased tremendously for quite some time now and with that increase the cost of cat food had also shot up a lot. I used to buy packets of 1.5kg cat food for my babies previously but now it would be even cheaper if I were to get them a 10kg bag. At least I can save up around 40% of the cost if I were to buy them in small packages. Moreover, the J Kitties have grown up a lot and the two little twins were already munching cat food.

My 10kg cat food finally arrived yesterday. It was huge. While waiting for a friend of mine to loan me his sealing machine to pack the cat food into smaller plastic bag, I left the big bag in my living room. Thinking that it would be safe there, I went for a short nap. When I woke up, I was shocked as someone has been stalking my big bag of cat food. Who could it be? Every single one of the kitties gave me that angelic look on the face.

The packing was so thick and sealed so tightly and yet someone did bite some parts off. The stalker would have gotten into the content if I were to wake up half an hour later. Maybe the triplets, Janice, Jayson and Justin did since their Papa Jonathan has proven record that he could bite through steel wires but I was not sure. Could you believe that the stalker did this?

Although the twins did fight over the ownership of the big pack of cat food, I did not think that they could have pulled a stunt like that. They were still small, cute and angelic… at times. LOL!

While investigating the scene, I saw a familiar figure creeping from behind the cat food. Don’t you think this look familiar?

He even has the cheek to do it once again right in front of my eyes. Don’t you think this look familiar too?

I wanted to catch hold of him and gave him a spanking but he gave me that guilty but pathetic look in his eyes again. Jeremy… oh Jeremy… Why can’t you be as obedient as the others? This time, I forgave him as I understood that all the kitties are growing up fast and they will need more food.

PHOTO HUNTERS – CLOUD(S)

This week’s theme is on CLOUD(S).
I have been down with acute migraine recently,
and have been watching over my diet carefully.
One of the ingredients which I had used for my healthy
cooking included the CLOUD EAR FUNGUS, or
scientifically known as Auricularia auricula-judae.
This jelly-like fun fungus can be found easily
right after a rainfall in the woods.



For centuries, the Chinese traditionally used
this CLOUD EAR FUNGUS in their cooking
as it is claimed to have medicinal values in it.
Some of the known uses included strengthening of
the body, hemorrhoids, hemoptysis, angina, diarrhea,
wading off gastrointestinal upset, diabetes, cancer
or even as a DNA repair agent.
The fungus can be easily purchased dried from any
of the Oriental shops throughout the world.
Here is a dried CLOUD EAR FUNGUS compared
to four times its size when soaked in water.



I would normally soak a small piece of the
CLOUD EAR FUNGUS, some Chinese mushrooms
and stir fry them with sliced cabbage, carrot,
big onions, spring onions and some beaten eggs.
This is how it looked like.



I would also like to add it another meat
dish to complete my meal with rice.
What do you think of my Stir Fried CLOUD EAR
FUNGUS Mixed Vegetables and Tempura
Chicken with mayonnaise salad?



Oh oh… I better hide my dinner before any
of my J Kitties decided to take a piece
of the Tempura Chicken each.



NOW YOU SEE WHAT I MEANT??

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND VISIT!

WHAT CAN MY THREE MONTHS’ OLD BABIES DO TODAY?

My babies (Janice, Jayson & Justin) are all three months’ old today. I thought of taking them out for some strolls along the beach today but the weather has not been promising. On top of that, my friend has been discouraging me to do so as how am I to care for six kitties without having the assurance that they will not get lost in the beach area. Well, he has some senses there for once… haha!

What else can I do? I do not think that I can feed them cakes now that I have found out that chocolate is toxic to the kitty’s body (Cecil would love to hear this :P). I tried canned food and I ended with a long list of vet’s bills with some of them having diarrhea last week. In the end, I have decided to turn their birthdays into a charitable day to feed those homeless strays around the neighborhood. Even Janice agreed to it.

I bought a large pack of Marine Balanced Purina Friskies (Mackeral & Seafood Flavor) with real salmon, tuna and seaweed and went out to distribute the food to the needy strays around the neighborhood. Some people looked at me as if I am crazy or overly rich but I am not. It was just part of my pledges to my babies that I would feed some strays today on their behalf. I just hope that the injured stray will show up as I have yet to see him around for few days. Let’s hope too that I will find as many strays around as the weather today looked rather gloomy.

Maybe I will let the photos paint a clearer picture of what had happened during my round around the neighborhood today. Somehow after the round, there was this unique feeling of happiness glowing inside me. It shows that this should be the kind of feeling you will get if you are willing to stretch out your hands to help any poor souls out there…
