Long Weekend

Monday was a public holiday. Yay, right?

Well, I did not feel that way. I think staying home too many days made me feel blah. Unbelievable. Hah...hah...


Poochie has to stay in his cage for another week. I want him showered and clean before I let him run around my sitting room or plonking himself on my sofa.

He does get time outside the cage, ie the dining room, where he takes his meals. I give him 15-20 minutes to enjoy his freedom.

Next Monday is his second appointment with the vet for a reassessment of his flea situation. If he is all clear, they can give him a bath.


Sunday, my partner and I were at Aeon. These were Deepavali hampers packed with goodies.


There was a promotion for salmon.


I love salmon! But I don't eat salmon often enough.


Munchy's biscuits. I used to love these biscuits. I could eat a whole packet in one seating. But I doubt if I like them now.


Back home, I ate sardines and kimchi for lunch.


Dinner I was naughty. It has been awhile since I had BK.


Two burgers. I did not have fries or drinks.


Whopper.


This is the BBQ something-something. 

Guess what? I did not like the burgers. I have lost the taste for them.


This tasted better.


Monday. Mummy's food. Beef trimmings and kimchi. Yes, better tasting than burger.


Poochie's food. Chicken fillet, cut into tiny cubes. I added some water into his food.


Being a growing kitten, he is a voracious feeder. I am trying to get him to drink water, he basically takes a lick and then runs away. 

In the beginning, he put both his paws into the water and flicked his paws, sprinkling water all over the place. Then he stepped on the edge of the bowl, tipping the bowl over and spilling water all over the floor. Naughty boy!


After makan, play time. Under mummy's watchful eye.


He is in the bitey stage and my feet have fallen victim.


Yes, I am careful with him and I try to put my feet on the other chair.

Well, it has been a nice four days at home and it's great to be back at work!


This cat meme is funny and only cat owners understand the joke.

  3. Thank you for photos of Poochie 💕
    Ah, Poochie plays with water exactly like Ah Buuuiii, putting both paws into the water and splashes it all over.

    That's how I got ah Buuuiii interested to drink water. I always put a big bowl of water around for him to play with. So once he finished playing, once in a while he will take a sip when I am not around. I change the water twice or three times a day.

    I know he drinks water when I am not around because he has lots of pi in his litter box. Yay! 👍🏻💪🏻

    1. You are very diligent the change Ah Buuuiii's water frequently. I hope my little Poochie learns to drink water. Right now I add water to his food and he pees quite a lot too.

    2. Yes, adding water to food is a good way too 👍🏻😊

    1. Yes, he is small but I can see that he has grown a bit bigger. He loves the taste for my foot. LOL! My pleasure to give him a home and lots of love!

  5. Your food looks great, dear PH.
    Poochie is adorable. Kittens bite as they are learning to use their teeth kind of like a baby teething.
    They need to learn that biting hurts. A sharp "Ouch" and pulling away should show them that this behaviour is not acceptable.
    Being gentle with them usually encourages them to be the same with us.
    Positive reinforcement is wonderful as it gives them a reward for good behaviour. And I am not talking about food, but "good boy" or a gentle pet is reward.

    1. Thanks, Linda! Yes, I try to signal to him that it hurts when he bites, He is still young and is very active. I am blessed to have him!

    2. Nux V : No, because he is indoors and won't get to know the others for now. Maybe he will get acquainted with Aunty Girl once I convert her into indoor cat.

      Delete
    3. Mun : LOL on the free pass! I am planning to make Girl and indoor cat but I bet she will be resistant.

      Delete
    4. Over time, Girl will settle down to be a grand dame aristocat indoor 🐈😺
      Just give her time to adjust. I have seen many cases from my 🐈😺 rescuers acquaintances. I have faith in Girl 🙏🏻👍🏻💪🏻🤞🏻💕

  7. Lol....my eyes popped which I saw a Whopper and a Double! O_o If it's two McDs I can understand but BK's Whopper is like its namesake....hah..hah. I never ordered a Whopper coz I don't think I can handle one. Anyway, I don't like any of the fast food burgers (coz their meat always seems like broiled rather than seared), I'd rather have a cheap roadside stall burger (that's better seared, sometimes even split in the centre to add more seasoning) and with an egg wrapped around it...wuahahahaha! ;D

    Wow, your little boy does have a very good appetite (maybe coz he's a growing boy)...my Poppy only eats half of what he eats (maybe coz she's a girl). Yes, I totally understand the cat meme coz Poppy starts meowing the moment I touch her kibbles container. In fact she even starts meowing when I on the lights (a sign that I've awaken and time for food).

    1. You are right about fast food burgers. I don't like them anymore. I have tried the roadside ones maybe once or twice and yes, those taste loads better.

      Poochie can eat but it also depends on his mood. Sometimes when he is playful, he is not interested in his food and I have to encourage him to eat. Your Poppy girl is a dainty eater, a princess eats like a lady, right? hah..hah... Poochie also is the same, the moment the lights come on, he starts meowing and whining. LOL!

  8. All cats like to play with their water bowl. To eliminate the water bowl from tipping over, you can get one that's fully ceramic...and heavy. I got one of those and it never tipped over again...hah..hah!
