<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi to all =). This is just a short note to thank all of you who has come by to read and drop us a few lines. I'm sorry that I haven't replied, but I'd like to frankly say that the few lines you left matters, as it really helps to know that there are people who understand. I sincerely THANK YOU.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wonder why it's taking sooo long or too long for me to recover? Well, it was hard enough to get over BULAN.. I thought things couldn't be worst. Little did I know, things could and did get worst.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was beyond my imagination and I thought it was beyond my capability and strength to go through any of that. I am recovering and I have no idea how that was possible. It took time but I did go through it all. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had to take some time off before I start typing this post up. And I believe I will not get it done in one sitting. Things haven't been well for us, and each lines of this post will be accompanied with tears of sadness as the memories relive in me. This is the process of grief and bereavement, hence I will go through it slowly, hoping hard that time will help me heal.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Things had been hectic enough with me arranging everything needed for our big scale shift from KL to KK. In early April 2010 I started visiting the Veterinary Hosp every week, to get their microchips in and also their rabies shot. By the end of April, I was already applying for their import permit (into KK, Sabah).</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">On 6th May 2010: I sent Donna & Bella to be spayed. The 2 of them were on canned food for the 1st week, and BULAN came to know of this. The boy had such a strong sense of smell that he would meow by the doorside, asking to be released for their room, and immediately he would flee into the girls' room and invite himself to their dish. He LOVED those cans of fancy feast. I had to give in to him, after hearing his meows, the squeky meow, which he let out specifically to demand for the canned food. It sounded sad, as if he was begging for the food and at the same time it was an order directed to me.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since then, he refused to stay in their room. He was always meowing to be released, and preferred to hang around in the living room. He took over my 'Kit-Kat' mug, as it was always next to my laptop filled with water (initially for me) as I work on my laptop. Eventually, BULAN had his own mug and dish bowl next to my laptop and he was the only one with the privilege of hanging out in the living room. He preferred it that way, as it was easier for him to catch me on the act, when I give the 2 girls their canned food. Within that 1 week (since 6th May), he gradually stopped eating kibbles, and would demand for the canned food. Yeah, is sounds exaggerating, but seriously when it's time to eat and I'd put kibbles in his bowl, he'd look at me and start meowing and he'd walk over to a corner (where I stack up their canned food) and he'd knock the stacks off. And when I pick 'em up, he'd give me that squeaky meow. He could finish one and a half cans on his own. He was solely eating canned food for 2 days, and on the 2nd day, I noticed that his stools were soft and it ended with blood. I observed this twice, once on the night of the 12th May and the 2nd time was the morning of the 13th May. I took him to the Veterinary Hosp on the 13th May.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The vet mentioned of suspecting viral infection. He was given a shot of antibiotic (as I was told) and I noted that it was Kombitrim. He was also prescribed with one week antibiotic. On this very day, BULAN refused to eat. The next day, he was eating. But he was only eating canned food and he could not finish a whole can as he previously could. He was drinking fine, but food had to be taken and held up in front of him, in order for him to eat. His stools, were no longer as soft and no signs of blood were noted, but of course lesser was coming out as he was eating lesser. He was however still active and playing around, he gradually ate lesser and was specifically eating on the purple color fancy feast canned food (VIRGIN FLAKED TUNA).</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">On 18 May, I took all the cats to the Veterinary Hosp for their export permit. BULAN was apparently well that he passed through getting the permit, but he seemed to have lost weight, which worried me.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The next day, 19 May. I took him to ARA Ampang Animal Centre. Where we saw Dr. Jonathan. Who, in addition to history taking also palpated BULAN's whole body and felt as if his right kidney was enlarged. THAT WAS ENOUGH TO DEVASTATE ME. He suggested for a blood test, if I was up for it since our flight was only 4 days away. Of course we went for it. We also purchased some other brands for canned food, and was briefly relieved to see that BULAN was eating that night.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Slightly after noon on the 20th May, I got a call from Dr. Sumithra of ARA Ampang Animal Centre and it was regarding BULAN's blood test result. I was CRUSHED upon hearing the result. It was to my disbelief the result showed parameters that are indicators of his renal function were way beyond the normal range. Which deep within me I'd labeled as renal failure hence the cries and feelings of devastation. But at the same time, I was in denial, I couldn't let BULAN know what I was feeling, I wanted him to get positive vibes. There were other things that went on at the time, but all in all, we struggled to get everything done, to rush BULAN to the vet. He was admitted that very day.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tears were the only thing I had left. Crying for the blood test result. And crying for the fact that he was going to be left at the clinic (How I wished, we have a vet where I can stay the night with him). He was left there from the 20th May (Thursday) to 23rd May (Sunday). We went to see him every single day. And it was so so difficult. Each day was such a torture for me, having him left there, seeing him with drips, confined, unwell and not knowing when he would get better, IF he was gonna get better. Each seconds when I was awake, the whole of me was filled with worries. Each seconds I was with him at the vet, I had to struggle to fight my tears which most of the time, I failed. Sleeping was my escape, as I wanted to stop my thoughts. But falling asleep was difficult as I didn't want to miss even one second.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Throughout his stay at the vet, I had 1 major decision to make. My flight was on the morning of the 24th May 2010 (Monday). I had to at least get the 8 cats settled, moreover my brother and sister were in KL, solely for the purpose of helping me out with the cats and stuff. And I was moving to KK for good, meaning no more home in KL after the 24th May. So we had to go. And as for BULAN, I had to decide, it was either to take him with me anyhow or he'd be left on his own. HOWEVER, both came with major issues.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Taking him with me, meaning taking an ill cat on a long journey which would be stressful. He was also entitled to a one month quarantine, and getting treatment ASAP could've been a problem.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Leaving him behind, meaning I'd have to leave him on his own, return to KL on the 24th May itself and not knowing how long it will take for him to be well, and when I'd be able to take him home if that would even be possible.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">By Saturday, I felt that I was siding more towards taking him with me and it was stronger when I went to see him. I squatted in front of his cage, with the door open, and it was such a sad moment to see him struggle to walk out of the cage. At first, I pushed him in, but when I let him out, all he wanted was to sit on my lap. He sat quietly on my lap, resting his head to my body. I felt it. He wanted to come home with us. He didn't want to be left there. Call me crazy, but I felt it. I would want him to stay for the treatment, but I could feel it. It was scary to have the feelings, but I did feel it. I hated the feelings, it came along with tears, I knew it meant something, but I didn't want to talk about it to anyone, because I didn't want anyone to interpret it. I refused to believe in the truths of instinct, feelings, signs or whatsoever. NO, I DIDN'T WANT TO.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">On Sunday morning, we went to see him. Another heart breaking news. Blood test showed SOME improvement which was very little. In combination of the blood test result with findings of the ultrasound, it was concluded that prognosis was POOR. Ultrasound scan showed that both his kidneys have lost their normal anatomical structures. Coming from a biomedical background, and having read lots on this matter, I knew what BULAN was facing with, but pretended to myself that I didn't know. And yes it was another day filled with tears. I know, I heard and I understood, when I was told that BULAN wasn't fit to travel. But what was I to do? There was no guarantee of him getting better. Although, the vet presented everything in a not-too-negative manner, she wasn't giving much hope and I knew it. So I decided that he was coming home with me and this decision was accompanied with tears. I KNEW I WAS TAKING A RISK.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">We left him at the vet and picked him up later in the evening so that he could be left on drips for the rest of the day. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">-------------I started typing this out on the 27th May 2010, the day after BULAN left.. but till now, I am still unable to complete this post... I'm putting it up as it is and we'll just see if I ever get back to it--------</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Initially, I found YUMIEKO to have bald spot on her ear (*suspected ear mites that had never been completely resolved). Then I found MJ to hava a bald spot on his ear (*which appeared overnight). Then the peak was when I found MJ had bumps on him, about 4 if I recall correctly, 2 on the right side and 2 on the left side. There were red ones, and there were pale ones that were just about to pop out. OF COURSE, I freaked out, did research on the net and headed for the vet. I took both MJ and YUMIEKO.</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Through the microscope, mites were found in the sample taken from MJ's ear and fur. So the answers are ear mites and fur mites. Ear mites? yeah I believe it had been there all the while (since SUNSHINE introduced it to the others) and was probably never resolved completely. Fur mites? I can't be too sure of where this might came from, as the cats are completely indoor, so I suppose I am to be blamed :-| I could have been the medium carrying it with me into the house after I'd been in contact with other cats ( including strays). And I'd have to admit that I do let people touch and carry my cats when we visit the vet, which (duh!) would be a good source for many kinds of illness.</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>MJ was given shots of Ivermectin & Methylpred. While YUMIEKO was given a shot of Ivermectin. And since all 9 of them live together at all times, it was assumed that the rest of them would have the same things on them, so off we went and took the other 7 in for their shot of Ivermectin (luckily my Mr Fiance was around to help me out, so we were done after only 2 round of trips).</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />

I wasn't looking forward to this.

Telling me to get his food, which means he's hungry right? so hungry that he'd eat ANYTHING, u may think. But NO. If it's not what he wants, he'll keep biting me, start running around, he'd slap the others (usually SUNSHINE) so that they can't eat or even use the litter. He'll meow and meow, till I think i've gone crazy. That means he has gotten sick of the kibbles we have. At times like this, I'd take him out, and give him (alone) a can of wet food. He'll eat and I'd return him to their room, and he may or may not eat the kibbles, but obviously noted he won't bully the others. I know some people say, u let him starve so that he'd eat anything u serve right? well, I have tried ignoring BULAN and just feeding them as usual. the behavior of course reduced, but he becomes moody and unfriendly and obviously lose weight. And when weight loss is obvious then it's just too much, weight loss --> reduced energy --> reduced immune system and so so so on... sometimes I get too busy, that I don't notice whether BULAN has been eating well or not, but I'll definitely notice it when he starts losing weight. and a recent encounter I had, cats too have gastric, if they miss their meals. so I don't wanna deal with that. If you miss ur meal, and get gastric, u suffer, nothing to do wt me right =P. but if BULAN miss his meals, and gets gastric, he suffer = I suffer?? </b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b><br />

<b>My flight ticket is ready, to be on the safe side, I shall call the office for further details on the cats' travelling needs.</b><br />

<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: blue;">validated online form</span>: online application will be reviewed, they'll gv feedback on whether the application is validated (form completed and so wait for approval) or insufficient (form incompleted, needs changes before it is processed </b></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: blue;">Approval</span>: wait for the online application to be approved</b></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: blue;">Payment</span>: once the online application is approved, someone there (at the destination) will have to go and make payment. RM11 for one cat?? RM11 for the license? we'll find out soon. this person will only need to mention my name and license number that I got form my online application</b></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: blue;">Collect permit</span>: 3 days after payment, this person (at the destination) will have to go and collect the import permit</b></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: blue;">Delivery</span>: the original import permit has to be in my hands. </b></li>

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the morning, I took BINTANG and YUMIEKO. Both of them were suppose to get their rabies vaccination, deworm and pet passport done.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

She didn't want to be held, she was so stressed out that her temperature went up. Because her temperature was high, I dared not take any chance and hence did not push her to taking the shot. I've asked around and the rabies shot is a requirement for export-import, so i'll still need to take her there...</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the afternoon.....</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I took SUNSHINE and MICHIKO</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

Many seem to say that rabies vacc is a requirement for any import-export affair.

<span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>i. passport pics.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>BULAN had already gotten his microchip earlier on in January. So today he only had to get the pet ID thingy done. Pic taking with BULAN had been the easiest one so far.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>ii. rabies vaccination</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>BULAN also got his rabies vaccination today. *sigh* I wasn't very thrilled with today's visit to the vet due to this one thing. BULAN didn't seem to like the guy who was suppose to give him the jab. We spent so long to attempt the shot, but it was just not working out with BULAN and the guy. I was getting stressed out, as I painted my own picture of the guy. I was so so so hoping that someone else would come to the rescue and do the shot, and thank God someone did ( I like this kakak, I've always noted how kindly she handles the cats). and when she did the shot, BULAN did not at all move a bit. I concluded, there's something about the way u hold the cat, and pulled on the skin to prepare for the jab, otherwise, why did BULAN show totally different reactions to these two people right? with the guy, BULAN snapped at him as he was preparing the site of injecting. with the kakak, I think she had the luxury of time to to this as BULAN did not at all react to her touch. I don't want to criticize too much, but there's more to this other than BULAN's reaction alone. And in my own opinion I have my own valid reason as to why I don't want my cats to be treated by him after this. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>iii. deworm</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>BULAN also got his deworm pil today. It's been expired for a while ordy, as I just didn't have the time to get them to the vet. I can actually just purchase the pills, but I need to know their weight for the dosage. Hence, I've been hunting around for a baby weighing scale. anyone??</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>SUNSHINE @ 4.08 kg</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>i. microchip + passport pics.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>SUNSHINE got her microchip and passport pics taken for her ID. She had been a lady =), apart from her paws pushing your hands away to resist u, she in general did fine. Although, I have some preoccupations, that i don't feel like mentioning here, as it may come across as me being overly paranoid, but I think these are valid feelings. I'll monitor this 2 closely and hope they both will be just fine.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Pic taking with SUNSHINE, was ok. she wasn't as still as BULAN, but still she did better then her 4 kittens that went last week.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>ii. deworm</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>SUNSHINE too got her deworm pils. She's 4.08 kg now? Yes, she's put on weight, and it's observable. She was 3.2 kg, when she came in July. 3.8 kg after 1 month pregnancy. 3.3 kg 2 months after the kittens came. and now she's 4.08 kg and looking healthy by weight and by coat =)</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>*SUNSHINE would've also gotten her rabies shot, but since she got her microchip in today, I figured she'll get the shot later. Don't want her to have double the pain. </b></span><br />

<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>phew! glad it was a bad dream. It's 4 am on a Wednesday morning, I was suppose to stay up and finish some work since its the end of the semester and due dates are just around the corner. Instead I guiltily indulged myself to sleeping. I had MICHIKO with me in reality because he was meowing and he ran out of the room as I left their room, so I let him hang out in my room while I took my so called nap. By 2 am, my other half was giving me wake up calls, as I was not suppose to sleep in the first place, but sleep was just the only thing I wanted to do.</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>**********************************************************</b></span></div><br />
<div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Suddenly I heard my parents came home with groceries, I continued sleeping and later when I decided to wake up. I realized my 8 cats were not around. Turned out as my parents were taking the groceries in, they had left the door open and supposedly that's when the cats must've gone out. So immediately me, husband, sis and bro went down to look for them it was in the evening near dawn. Somehow, I was staying on the 4th floor of a 2 building apartment each with 2 blocks. So we started looking from the ground floor, 1st thing 1st look for around if any of them actually fell and didn't make it. We didn't see any and hence there was hope. Some friendly people joined us to help, and some decided not to when I couldn't answer them properly.</b></span></i></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>their Q: what color is your cat.</b></span></i></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>my ans: black & white, calico, whole black, fully orange, another calico, creamish...</b></span></i></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>their respond: oh dear, make up ur mind!!</b></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>me: couldn't be bothered to even explain myself! </b></span></i></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Anyhow the search went on. We've gone up from ground to the fourth floor of the 1st 2 blocks. There were cats around, but none was mine. As we were heading to the next building, I looked back and there was a black cat so we went back to the 1st building. And so the 1st one spotted was DONNA. She was hanging out licking on herself, wet and injured as it seemed. She looked fierce. I had no idea how to tell whether that was her or not, but when I called on her, she came purring. and so yes it was her. So I picked her up, that's when we realized we had no carrier with us, so I carried her by hand and the search went on.</b></span></i></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>next I saw BELLA . She too looked sooo fierceful, I called her, she looked up but she didn't come to me...then at about the same time, my husband saw another BELLA. We couldn't decide (gosh why didn't we just pick them both up huh!). So I said, move your index finger in front of her, she would usually bite. My BELLA bit, but then this BELLA had blue eyes, and I was contemplating over whether BELLA's eyes were suppose to be blue or not. errm..</b></span></i></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Then my husband said, his BELLA wasn't responding, "but SUNNY is the kind that would interrupt, wouldn't he?". I looked and yesss it was SUNNY. Then I realized, we had attracted soooooooo many cats to the scene.. ( haha... apparently it was a cat friendly neighborhood). So I told EVERYONE to stay still while I look around among the cats. I saw a few cats of YUMIEKO's color, so I wanted to be sure if YUMIEKO was there. BUT as I finished saying out my sentence "everyone stay still, there are so many cats here now, let me look around..", a guy suddenly jumped out of excitement!! he said.. "Waaaaaaa!!! so many cats, this is fun!!" OMG!!!!! all the cats fled off including our potential BELLA and SUNNY. I think blood from the whole of my body rushed up to my brain!! I wasss soooooooooooo angry....</b></span></i></div></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

Who was that guy??? he said it was fun??!!
