Someone told me, if you are not married,no kids and you start adopting pets, its a sign of being old maid. My reply, is a very big smile on my face. Maybe!
But when i recall,since childhood, when every single animal that we had is sick and dying, i always cried for them. My pig, my chicken i cant afford to watched them being sliced to death.I cried for my dog who passed away, i visited my 4kitten in the jungle till they die, when my mom asked,to throw them out due to the growing number of them. I wrapped my chicks with my dolls skirt to cure his flu, thinking that's the only way to ease the pain. Wow! its in my blood i knew it. Never mind being old maid..
1.)Here is my ever sweet, loving Mengkay, first adopted.
His Childhood Picture, loner behave..
That's After Three Years, handsome, very healthy.
2.)My Ever Cute Black Kulilat. 2nd adopted

Thats the First Day i found him in our doorway trying to get mengkays food

My Beloved Cat Is Back
Amazing! I just published yesterday about my missing cat and just this morning he is back. As if he heard my crying, and feel my longing.
He was gone at 12:00 midnight April 19 that's the date of the 6Th year anniversary of my partner together. And he came back this morning at 6:30 am. I was awaken by a cat fight at 4:30 am, and without a second thought i get up in bed and check outside. Its still dark, but somehow i saw him, running out from the fight and just lost in the parking lot.Maybe hiding from the enemy. So i called my partner to check, but instead we found another cat. My partner angry, irritated with me. He said its just my illusion that i saw him. But i cant be mistaken, though i just wake up i know its him.
So we went back to sleep, frustrated. Few hours later, I heard a meow at 6:30 a.m. my heart pounding,this time i know its my baby,i open the door and saw him approaching with those terrible look, eyes red, dirty, wounded and he go right away in the kitchen for food and water, really thirsty and hungry.
I am so happy. I ask him to know his story, i said " So that's what you got? I smiled to him and touch his chin rub him all over, while he gave me that beautiful look, and moew moew as if saying, never mind am back and safe now with you. I let him sleep first. Later i will bath him and bring him to the Vet. Now am on duty, hope he will just alright in the house.. Really thanks god, he is alive..
Now, i know that cat fight at 4:30a.m. is actually him, but he just hide for awhile waiting for the sunrise or maybe waiting if the enemy is already gone, before he went back home.

Thats my LOST and FOUND Baby!!!!

I lost My Cat On Our 6th Years Love Anniversary
We were having a dinner party when being so busy entertaining my visitor,on my partners 6th year anniversary, my cat also been busy asking for attention to everybody. I Put him in the cage i just brought him, yet he is able to escape. Its been 2mnths now since we moved in to this new place, he always insist to go out? I know he wants to get married, hehehe funny ha!but thats, what my fellow cat lovers said. He must have a partner. I have no idea how, because he always have fight with his neighboring cats, and yet he wants to be friend with them. Nonstop meow meow pointing to the door knob. So i let him out thinking he probably just come back.
But its been two nights and 2days after that party, his nowhere to be seen. We been roaming around to find him. But non of his shadow showed up.
They said "if you love someone set it free, if he comes back he is yours, if not he never was". But dear, i cant stop crying for two days, till now I'm still hoping. Its a different feeling when you break up with your boyfriend at least he can still call you that he is happy and just fine. Wow! this is really different men..
His last Photo with me. If am free, i give time to cuddle him, and he will calm down and just contented with leaning on my lap or in my feet..
He is not a baby anymore, he will always cry for freedom to meet his real world, my cuddles might calm him down just for awhile but he deserves freedom. I know he will come home soon...

Animal Magic

Fortnightly Tenerife News,(Spain)
As a nation of animal lovers many of us often prefer our four-legged friends to our human ones and it’s not difficult to see why. Animals offer unconditional love, companionship and fun, but did you also know that owning a pet can reduce blood pressure, alleviate depression, conquer stress and release feel-good endorphins that make you feel happy?
Its true, and it doesn’t seem to matter what type of pet you have, from parrot to poodle – interaction with any animal can produce these health benefits. According to a recent study, owning a pet not only helps you to keep down stress levels, it may also help to prevent heart disease and depression. Even watching a tank full of tropical fish can lower blood pressure, at least for a while. Remarkably, studies have also shown that heart-attack victims who keep pets tend to live longer.
The publisher of the pet information website petclubuk.com, Chris Jones, says looking after a pet brings out our nurturing instinct and makes us feel safe and unconditionally accepted. “Pets make wonderful, loving companions and everyone should consider having one as part of their household,” he says. “The chances are you’ll live longer and feel better by owning a pet.”
If you thought only dogs and cats were good for your health you couldn’t be more wrong. “It doesn’t matter what pet you get. It could be a dog, cat, parrot, a goldfish or snake. The only thing that matters is that the animal really interests you.
“It is important that the pet you choose fits your temperament, lifestyle and living space and that the chemistry is compatible before you take a pet into your home, otherwise it could be the source of additional stress,” he says.
Among the many medical studies that claim owning a pet is good for your heart, one suggests that stroking an animal prompts your brain to release endorphins or “feel-good hormones”. This helps you feel calm and therefore lowers your heart rate and blood pressure.
This is supported by claims that families owning a dog or cat are not as stressed and visit their doctors less often than those who don’t, say scientists from Cambridge University. Pets make you feel optimistic and relaxed, which lowers your blood pressure. Dogs give the best results, as you get exercise when you take them for walks. Studies show that older people who own pets are more healthy and active than those who don’t.
As well as feeling more healthy, pet owners are less likely to suffer anxiety, loneliness and will have more confidence than people without pets. There is also a positive effect on their emotional health and people who live alone with a pet are less likely to be depressed than those without animal company.
But pets don’t just brighten up your mood. Some could actually save your life. Many animals can warn their owners about oncoming illness and there are many reports about dogs detecting cancer, while some can identify other types of illness, such as hypoglycaemia (dangerously-low blood sugar levels) in diabetics and oncoming epileptic fits.
These health benefits of owning a pet are strong reasons to get one, but consider all the options first and do your homework. Animals are a huge responsibility and although they may seem like fun, there is a lot of hard work involved as well. The Petclub website offers a wealth of advice and tips on how to choose the right pet for you and on keeping it happy and healthy too.

Unconditional Love? How Far Can You Go.
We fall in and out of love, yet we still keep loving. Who among us never been hurt? Well good for you. How would you react if your boyfriend had cheated on you? Devastated,angry, frustrated whatever it is, its indescribable. You care too much with someone and in the end one day he still going to hurt you. Thats the wheel of life no matter what,take it or leave it..
Seriously am not implying bout human relationship, don't laugh just read it! Am talking about him!
This naughty creature! Moving in a bungalow style house really changed his life. All our neighboring cat in our 1st week were getting busy, dropping by in our door way. Thats freaks him out and that made him want to go out, which was strange because his always been scared outside. That was when we were in the top floor on our previous staff house. I never realized it cause chaos on my daily routine, female cat first met he just smell them in the nose like a smack, I'm happy for that. Male cat visitor is trouble, first fight which am not around, he got bruises everywhere, my bf said he must throw a bucket of water to separate them. Constant sleepless night when an intruder usually peep in our underneath door hole just to have a fight with him and amazingly still able to scratch him in the eyebrow. Finally i got an idea to cover the hole. Problem solved..
But one early morning, while preparing for work i brought him out for awhile..
(I got this video on the same date happen)
He looks so happy rubbing himself here and there, enjoying the sunlight, fresh air and a moment of freedom,when this intruder came in again and for the first time of seeing my cat been beaten, my first instinct is to saved him, grabbed him out and hugged him in my chest and carried back to the house but the last thing i knew he is all over in my left arm, thinking am still the intruder, now this is what i got!
Thats in my left forearm and elbow. I got few in my thigh and right wrist but they are not as deep as that. Blood start dripping as i able to pushed him away, and came face to face with me. I looked at him intently straight to the eyes and called his name so he can recognized me, and that made him stopped.
Early that morning i went straight to the doctor for injection and took care everything. So far so good the next morning no fever at all. Three days after my wounds look like this..
This is the deepest cut. Scars for sure will remain..
My bf called me from Phils and told me to let my cat go, he is devastated to hear the news. I still can't. I know my cat felt sory heheheh funny isn't it? But believe it or not when i got home after what happen, he can stop doing his loving routine and this time its sweeter than the usual one. I scolded him and trying to point my arm of what he did, but he put soft kisses on it and murmuring. I don't play with him yet till today, still a bit scared but definitely he is forgiven. He is just a cat, one day he will be gone to look for his own destiny, his freedom, but for the moment i will keep him.Unconditional love? Can you go farther than that?

Mengkay's Funny Videos
Thats what i usually did to him on my free hour and d-stressing myself. I rather do my cuddling with this lil creature than being angry and irritated with something nonsense. That really works for me.Cleaning his ears tickles him and he seems to like it now that he gets older..
Cutting his nails is getting easy too. That really makes him looks so funny and innocent. Sometimes i had these strange feeling,they are better than human being.
Nowadays, some animals act like human, some human act like animals,so frustrating right? Its one of the god's most wonderful creation. They never bites the hand that gives....

Mengkay's Sad and Happy Story
Thats menkay's childhood pic, just a week after, when partner had drove from Muara to Gadong on his way back home and found out that helpless thing under the car,hanging for his life. A very dirty looking, skinny kitten. Maybe because he is still young and homeless he was already friendly. I have allergic reaction on fibers, feathers, powders, certain perfumes that make me sneeze to death that my nose turn red and swollen, worst is coughing and skin itchiness, i have that since birth. So thats loud and clear that having pets like cats and dogs is a no no.
But who could refused, when my partner brought those tiny cute innocent creature? My heart was pounding with a mixed of triumphed and grief. How could anyone just let that thing wondering on how to survived? In spite of all those excuses i decided to adopt him..
Now, look at those healthy hair and bulging flesh, he grew fast, a big transformation from malnourished looking cat to a gorgeous one. I spend 20dlrs a month for his fish, i boiled it and put some salt to be tasty, he liked it very much, I bathed him 2 to 3times a week and used blower to dry his hair. I cut his nails often and used cotton buds for his ear. I bought toys, special shampoo,vitamins, towels, litter box where he did his popo, necklace who didn't last long, no idea how he able to took it from his neck. I never bring him to the vet yet thats so expensive. So far never been sick..
Alone in the house, where he could only see human being, he seemed unusual compared to ordinary cats. If I'm in the kitchen and he is somewhere in the other room, by just calling his name, definitely he comes and see me, but unfortunately only my voice then he will follow. If you're a visitor he will look at you intently and murmur his meow meow trying to talk to you but don't carry him he don't like it, its only me and my partner that he is comfortable with.
If someone trying to break our door we will know, simply because this amazing bf of mine will go sit in front of that door, gazing up to the door knob and make some noise, that made all the members of the staff house would know someone is coming. Considering that no other girlfriend at all, he got wild few months ago, i tried to let him go out but still, it freaks him out. Am worried coz he's getting thinner no appetite to eat, so i planned to bring him to the vet for check up but luckily with my constant cuddling he came back to normal again, no more crying.
