BELLA and DONNA spayed :)

My 6th & 7th cat sent for spaying/neutering.  I'm no longer as anxious as I used to be about it, hence I could send 2 of them at one go =).

2 more cats to go.  I've got to decide when to do it.  I have 2 males to go SUNNY & MJ.  and our traveling date is just around the corner.

Is one week (exactly one week) enuf for the recovery?

Oh NO!

It's 2.30 am and I was busy doing work (yes..yes.. life as a student =P) when I heard a cat's meowing (not exactly a meow, more of a cat's sound) that i haven't heard before.  I got distracted from work and decided to check it out.  Oh boy!! was I surprised to find MJ on top of BELLA.  BELLA innocently refuse and ran around as MJ chased after her.  I wasn't looking forward to this.  The thought did occur to me and I did make a call for an appointment for both BELLA and DONNA, but I had to cancel when I realized that they just had their rabies shot  less than 2 weeks ago.  So I've put that aside and planned it for next week.

Now BELLA and DONNA are out here with me, and goodness are they enjoying themselves, all my papers are flying all over the place!  And I can hear MJ meowing from inside their room.  In the middle of my hectic schedule (1 more week to go as a student =D, at least for the time being =P), I'm gonna have to set up the place for BELLA and DONNA to be separated from the others :-(

So it's definite, BELLA and DONNA is going by next week.  but what shall I do with the meowing MJ??  I thought of waiting til he fully matures, as I don't want him to go through a double operation as MICHIKO did, but he's meowing already.. can he hang on for another 2 months (as I've been told, approximately that's when he'll probably reach full maturation)?? MJ oh MJ... what shall we do about u...

Spay/Neuter Campaign

I remember I was suppose to elaborate more on this topic, but I just never had the time for it. So this is a substitute for that =)

MICHIKO neutered?-just my babbling-

MICHIKO neutered? Yes, he is neutered. By why? Errmmm...

It had been kinda controversial (nah I'm exaggerating....) when it comes to MICHIKO neutered. Well, here is to clarify, reason it out, make myself feel better, and get rid of guilt or whatever it may be.

Yes, he's neutered, and yes I sent him to, just because I want him to be neutered. There's no reasonable reason and I 'just' want him to be neutered. It's a preference that I have for my cats.

So what say you?
It's not humane. I'm being selfish for wanting to keep one for myself only. It's a sin. It's a stupid act for neutering him, as I can get more of his cuteness. There's just nothing reasonable. Isn't it.

Well, I believe it's a difficult concept to accept. It was for me in the beginning, so I can understand and thus when I don't feel like it, I just keep it to myself, smile and let you think whatever you want to. Why? Because before you get the concept, there's lots to argue and debate about and if I just don't feel like going through all that, I'll keep quiet. It's all about insight peoples. If you have it, you have it, if you don't then you just can't be helped.

I do feel bad when people throw things like that towards me. all those stuff about not being humane, selfish for not sharing his cuteness, a sin that it may be, they get into me and make me think twice... I try to keep my head up, as I've decided that for my cat after considering risks and benefits and really I intend it for the welfare of the cat.

BUT if you could just give it some thoughts then just maybe you'll understand. Frankly speaking, I love my cats but I haven't reached the level of some cat lovers, so for the time being I just want the best for my cats.

Before I proceed with this babbling, you gotta first put this in mind. When I talk about my cats, it doesn't refer to just the word 'cat', it refers to my loved lil ones. When I talk about loving my cats, it doesn't refer to just the word 'love'.

Think of loving a person. A person can be your mom, dad, sibling, significant other, friends, teachers, colleagues, doctors, strangers, and so so on... and do u 'love' them all the same? It's still love, but is it the same? Now think 'cat'.

Many claim to love their pets. Some love their cats like I do, some probably even more (ermmm....maybe not..hihihi...) and others love their cats, but think I'm just going overboard with mine. Why the difference? Because you just don't get it. Now do you get it?

MICHIKO-neutered.

I noticed MICHIKO to climb on top of YUMIEKO, bit her neck, then repeatedly kicking her, which I suppose telling her to sit properly, I think that's some sort of initiation from him. I don't think I'd like to take the risk of him getting her pregnant, thus decided it was time. Although I think that he's still such a baby, he's about 6 mths, estimatedly born on 22nd Feb 2009. Anyhow, when it's time, we better go, i don't need anymore unplanned pregnancy here.

Day 1: 6 September 2009
So he had to fast from the night before, which was hard, because after BULAN, he's an even bigger eater. Didn't have to wait till morning, he was already meowing for food a few hours after all food was taken away. and I don't think I need to describe his meowing and biting on me the next morning.

I was so tired (due to Raya shopping the previous day), so I woke up late and therefore arrived at the Klinik Kembiri at 10.00 am. Never before I arrived this late, as it was with BULAN and BINTANG, as I didn't want them to fast for extended time, just because I was late. Anyhow, MICHIKO was done by 12 noon.

I learnt that he had a double operation (so it cost me double). Because one of his testicle was embedded in. (I think the explanation sounded something like that). I'm guessing that he's still kinda young and therefore one hadn't descend. I was told to wait for a while for him to gain some consciousness. And when he did, we left for home.

As we reached home, I found that he wasn't up yet. Which made me worried, because unlike BULAN or BINTANG, he was still not moving. Whilst my previous experience was that by the time we reached home (+ we previously stayed nearer to Klinik Kembiri, now we're further) BULAN and BINTANG, was already conscious, eating and drinking. Thus it was worrying that MICHIKO was still unconscious. I cancelled my plan to resume my Raya shopping and waited for him to gain consciousness, which I thought and hoped would start by 6 pm, but he didn't. I was thinking of taking him for an emergency visit to the vet, but read on the net and books, that it may take 24 hours. So I waited, and my worries resolved at about 8 pm, which was when I saw him stretching his hands and kicking trying to get on his 4 legs, which he didn't manage to do.

By midnight, he was up for food, but he fell asleep while eating and therefore had to be monitored. by 1 am, he was walking, falling, sleeping and then again walking, falling, sleeping. Poor my baby MICHIKO, he was walking towards their room, where the other cats were in. at 3 am, without me realizing, he had reached the door and slept in front of the door. He's suppose to be confined, but as for today, he's just in the living room so that I can monitor him while getting some work done.

Hope he'll recover soon, with no complication.

Day 2
He was meowing by 4 am and was asking for more food by 5 am, which was signified by him discontinuing the meows the moment food was offered. I'm just so glad that he's eating well.

I've set up his room, so he will be confined in that room, it's completed with dish bowls, litter box, scratch pad, stand fan, a petbed and also a mattress, which is for me to accompany him. He's been so so sweet, he comes near me and would only stop meowing unless I was around for him to lay beside, which on the other hand kinda interrupted me from making any progress with my work. I think he knows that he is in the process of recovering, because he is on the alert mode, the slightest sound which would not have bothered him before would make him startled. The saddest thing is that when I open the door to his room, he would get up and speed to the door, he'd like to be out, and therefore since I'm around I just let him be.

I found that he had defecate and urinated, which for me would be a good sign of normal eating pattern. hehe. But because of that also, he has regained his energy and near normal activity that he has started to lick on the wound, well he actually does that regularly to clean himself so I'm guessing because he 'poo'ed, it trigerred him to lick on it. So here comes the e-collar.

Day 3
I'm not gonna be around to closely monitor him today, as I'll be off to work. Worried but you gotta do what you gotta do. So since he's on canned food and he's big on food, I'm planning his meal in such a way that he won't be left hungry, because his meows doesn't sound pretty when he's hungry. So he's getting 1 can of Fancy Feast in the morning, chicken for lunch, and another can of Fancy Feast for evening/night. I can't be home for his lunch time, so I'm preparing his chicken in the morning and leaving it out for his lunch, with an assumption that leaving out exposed chicken is better than leaving out exposed can food. We'll see if that works for today.

Day 4
Truth is, I've been going home for lunch time. Skipped my lunch break to go and see him... he better appreciate my lunch visits.


Day 5

He seemed to have lost his appetite. Errrm...that's something to worry about. I decided to take off the plaster, when I asked about the plaster at the clinic, I was told to let it be until it comes off on its own. But after days monitoring him, I don't see signs of it coming off, it's those really sticky kinda plaster that even I don't wanna have on my skin. So I thought I'd just take it off, who knows it could be infected underneath that. Supplied with my experience and materials used on BINTANG, I did it without having to cry =). The plaster was in such a way that it was in a + shape, so I had to work on it on 4 directions (for BINTANG it was only 2 direction). Once I got 3 sides off, the wound was exposed and I started getting nausea, did the Deep Breathing (after recommending this to patients-->now I know, it works!).



The wound looked fine, no signs of infection of that sort. But I kinda wondered why does he have a wound similar as BINTANG had? and I don't think I see any stitches on it. Errmm... is that the 'double operation' part, or is it possible that they had mistaken him for a female thus, it was a smaller cut and not seemed to be stitched. Oh I don't even wanna think about it. Hey..Hey... I'm not accusing okay, thoughts just wander when you love your darlings so much, that a simple thought may grow big. Whatever it is (I'll try to read on it later), it looks good (or maybe because I want it to look good thus have illusion that it looks good) and I hope he'll recover soon.

Day 6
Ok, now I'm worried. He hadn't been eating as normal for 2 days now. I don't wanna think negatively, thus I hope+assume that it's because he's stressed out being alone in the room, moreover the room is probably too humid for him.

So for today, I'm gonna have him stay in a cage, in the living room, with the fan on and windows open. Crossing fingers that his appetite will return to normal soon, because it won't be long before I panic!



NOW (later on the day), I'm on extremely worried mode, he just passed real watery stools, which looked like he didn't make it on time for the litter!

Day 7
He was still not eating, this time seems like he's not eating at all and has been passing watery stools in small volume about 4-6 times now, since it started yesterday morning. Off we go to the vet!

Vet noted that he was still alert and attentive, didn't look weak, membrane lining pinkish, check a small sample a stool and found nothing, temperature was ok. (can I be relieved yet?). He was given antibiotics, one for inflammation and another for parasites, just in case there was any. I preferred tablets, as I thought it'd be easier and less messy. He was also given Hill's prescribed Diet i/d. Oh yeah, suggested to take 100+ without gas, I guess for dehydration and electrolyte balance.

Huhu. I was wrong to choose tablets, this baby MICHIKO, has proven himself to be handful. He refused to drink or eat, whatmore medication? So we had to be fed, and since he's got 2 tabs of meds, I got one in, which although went straight in, he still wanted to spit it out by not swallowing his saliva and drooling. So the second tab was of course worse, to a point, that I had to mashed it with water and gave it in a liquid form, hoping that he took in most of it compared to what he spat out.

About an hour after that, he passed stools that looked semi solid. But I'm guessing that it was fur. Erm..

Day 8
OMG, he is still not eating or drinking or looking active as normal. I had him slept in the cage with doors open next to me, and he did not budge. I had myself wake up intermitently to check whether he was still responding. For god sake! He hadn't been eating.

He's taking 1 tab of meds in the morning and 2 tabs in the evening. The 2 tabs in the evening is of course challenging. I must get a syringe after this. Now, after the medication, he refused to be fed even on water or food. before he even tasted what it was, he would already prepare himself by spitting out!

Maybe he's stressed, he's stressed out because of the e-collar, because of the cage, or the room and the fact that he had to stay alone separated from the other cats. So tonight, I'm taking off the e-collar, putting him on a shirt (hopefully it can prevent him from licking on his wound, the one on his bottom should be healed by now) and let him roam free in the house along with the other cats. He sat quietly and just looked around, and was still scared of SUNSHINE (SUNSHINE has been bullying him, since he returned from being neutered). I was so tired, and dozed off, wasn't able to monitor him throughout the night.

Day 9
What a swell surprise! I woke up this morning and my first thought was 'OMG, where's MICHIKO and what has happened to him'. It was still dark and I was half awake, I stood up and start calling for him. And there he was sitting on my luggage (to pack for Raya holiday), he was meowing, his usual meow. which meant, 'he wanted food and he wanted it 'NOW' and I think in addition to that, if the meows get longer he meant to say 'what are you doing there when you should be giving me food!'. Oh yes! these kind of meows usually sounded irritating, especially when I just woke up from sleep, but this time, it meant that he's getting better. So I rushed to get some kibbles for him and he ATE. haihhhhhh... what a pleasant start for today =).

Then he was seen chasing around with YUMIEKO, he was actually playing, but he was still observing SUNSHINE carefully suggesting that he was still on alert for SUNSHINE. so today, I'll be off to work, and he'll be put in his room accompanied by YUMIEKO =).

Day 10
Got him syringe, to ease feeding him with the meds. He's been so much better since yesterday. accompanied by YUMIEKO, wearing a shirt to replace the e-collar, ate on kibbles, and poo was well formed. He's no longer too scared of SUNSHINE, but he's still not running naughtily as he usually would. But signs so far, are looking good, so I can go off for my Raya leave next week, without worries about him.

My healthy irritatingly active MICHIKO is back!

Bintang's spaying

We had initially planned to have Bintang spayed on the 19^th December, so I can be home everyday during her recovery. But we later decided to delay her spaying to participate in the cat show. I wasn’t sure of their actual age, thus where possible I shouldn’t delay their neutering, moreover, I had been advised that they are at a suitable age to be neutered. So, as it was with Bulan, Bintang had to fast from 10 am the night before. This is not so hard on me, as Bintang is not a big eater. She seldom ask for food. By 9 am, we were already at the Klinik Kembiri, left her there, and she was done by about 11.30 am. It cost me RM70 instead of the expected RM60 for a female cat. Because...surprisingly Bintang was on heat. Oh my!! I didn't see any sign of that. She really has grown.

As soon as we got home, I tried putting E-collar on her, that is before she regained her full strength as I suppose it'd be easier. But I was wrong, as it wasn't easy, she didn't like it (of course), and rigorously moved around to get it off. So I figured, I'd just let her rest and put it on later, as I didn't want to tire her even more, she's had enough with the procedure. and so she rested.

1st pic after we got home

Bintang resting for the rest of the day

She was fully awake by that evening, she looked weak but it was as if she demanded to be released from the cage. She knocked down the dish bowl, she knocked down the litter box and the towels covering the floor of the cage were everywhere. Errmmm...a very bad timing for the E-collar...well she wasn't bothered about her wound at all, she was so occupied with escaping the cage. So the dish bowl had to be out, the litter box had to be out. I cleaned after the mess as she watched. Then I tried to put the E-collar on her...BUT she made it clear that she did not want it.

She ate well, but drank less, maybe because of the wetfood I was giving her. Bintang is like a darling princess....As we call her Bintang the Princess...she's sweet and soft in her action, but if you get in her nerves..She'll show you just how much she's not liking it..

Overall, she was doing well..except for the E-collar. She hated it so much, I figured that maybe she wouldn't be bothered by the wound. As I did with Bulan, I pulled a mattress next to her cage, and slept there....However, I was awakened by Bintang at around 3 am, as she was pulling and biting hard on the bandage of her wound. Then I had no choice, but to force her into the E-collar...It was definitely not easy...Anyhow, I got her in the E-collar and she eventually fell asleep...that was a relief as I was extremely exhausted....

Bulan had been very nice to accompany Bintang along with me. And he was very cooperative of Bintang with the E-collar, which means...he wasn't cooperating with ME!! As I was trying to neatly tie up the E-collar, Bulan was on the other side of the cage, tugging on the strings.....That's Bulan our Mafia.... Still, adorable enough, he slept next to me till morning...

Day 2
I guess out of boredom, Bintang occasionally show something of a tantrum. She would scratch and pull on the towels covering the floor of the cage. And that means, other than herself and a few small toys, no other things can be placed inside the cage with her. I have learned that she enjoys soft toys and feathery toys the most, but I can't place that in the cage with her, as she likes to jump, run around, throwing it everywhere...Well actually I tried, and it made her realize that she was confined, and as the E-collar gets in her way while playing, she gets even more irritated. So, accompanying her in the cage was a small mouse and a small ball, not feathery and not so soft.

Here's Bulan accompanying her. He didn't mind being inside, BECAUSE he needs a friend to play rough with.

As I have mentioned, the litter box, can't be placed in the cage, as she would knock it down. When she needs it, she knows to meow and call me for it, and being a princess, she also spread her paws out to have them cleaned by ME. Of course, there were times, when I couldn't avoid going out, meaning, I had to leave a litter box in with Bintang, as I wouldn't be around if she calls for the litter box. And upon my return, I would be sure to find the box had been knocked down.

Sitting elegantly...

'Here is my paw, now you clean it.'

Day 3 It had occurred to me that the bandage on Bintang's wound would eventually need to be removed. I made a call to the clinic and asked about it. I was advised to remove it, at most after a few days. It would be more difficult to remove once her fur starts growing out. And to ease the removal, they suggested using baby oil.

I went out to make a purchase of the baby oil and immediately worked on it. It was NOT easy. It took me like 3 hours and all the while I held a lump in my throat. and the moment I got it done, I cried for her. She was doing fine, she slept well, and no signs of being hurt at all, but I was emotionally disturbed. I know, it's such a small matter to have a cat spayed, I just couldn't help but be frightened for her. I really hope that I've done the right things for her, for them, the both of them.

Anyhow, the bandage was off. I hope she heals soon.

Bintang sleeping while and through as I worked on getting the bandage off.

Day 4
I often left the door of the cage opened, she seemed to understand that she had to stay, so she wouldn't step out as long as I was there next to her, maybe because she knew I would stop her from going out anyhow. I went out for a few minutes, but I forgot to latch the door to her cage. Upon my return, I saw her on the scratching pad...Owh..then it occurred to me, maybe she missed that, so I took it into her cage and she played with it inside, and Bulan later joined her in the cage. I guess she wanted to tell me that she was done playing and I was to remove the scratcher from the cage. She pushed and pulled as if trying to turn it upside down, so I took it out. Immediately she landed in the middle of the cage and slept...

Day 5
Bintang was left at home on her own, as I had to take Bulan for a vet visit due to diarrhea.

It looked like, she didn't enjoy being home alone.

Day 6-
I let Bintang out for a while to walk around, but before I knew it..there was Bintang lying on her back and Bulan licking on her wound. Aiyyyaaaa!!! who is to blame?? me! It's never gonna be them.

Her wound was nearly dried up, but because Bulan had helped her licked on it, it has become reddish and so I think it would take some time to dry up again.

It's a pity that I had confined Bintang for a few extended days, while she herself seemed to be ready to go out and play. So once in a while I'd let her out, and as an exchange for her freedom, Bulan had to be caged or I'd need to fully supervise them if both were let free.

Bintang demonstrating her boredom

When she was let free..

Bulan's freedom exchanged for Bintang's...He wonder why??

Unfortunate for Bintang, her wound wasn't healing well.... I caught a scene of Bulan licking on Bintang's would whilst Bulan was outside of the cage and Bintang lying at the very side of the cage from inside. Hmmm...that's what we call cooperation... and therefore..Bintang had to be caged for an extended no. of days...But because she HATES the cage... for the extra week it took for her wound to heal...Bulan was the 1 who had to be caged daytime, when I wasn't home... Poor Bulan, but he had been a very good boy... he patiently sat and waited for me to release him once I get home.... a solution to tipped litter box & dish bowl by Bintang...

After a long 2 week...no more cage and no more e-collar... Back to their normal happy life.... Bintang must be glad it's all over, AND Bulan must be GLAD that Bintang has recovered, so HE gets his full freedom...

Bulan after neutered

Day 1

He slept all afternoon only to be awake in the evening. He was coping well. As a matter of fact, it seemed like he felt as if he was ready to go out and play. I was really glad that he was drinking and eating fine. There was nothing that appear to be worrying. I had to put E-collar on him, as he was licking, he was licking hard, maybe he felt different there. I pulled my mattress next to his cage, and slept all night with him, the door of the cage was opened as I had my hand inside the cage. Aaand I was awaken at the sense of Bulan jumping on my hand trying to escape the cage. I think Bintang understood the situation, I was impressed that she slept next to me, which is obviously not her usual sleeping spot.

Trying to calm him down with the E-collar.

Bulan trying to find ways out of the cage. He looked up....
...looked down......left...

...and right.

Day 2

He ate and drank well. I'm really glad that he did not at all, appear to be unwell. He even jumped out of the cage as I was giving him food and water. I pity that he had to be confined, b'cause he badly wanted to go out and play. As for Bintang, she played peek-a-boo, only to find that Bulan wouldn't chase after her. He had been eating well, he ate a lot, but it worried me that there was no pee or poo inside his litter box. Then, in the afternoon, I saw him in the litter box, going for it. BUT, he kept on looking and looking for a different spot. I guess he wasn't comfortable with the smaller size box, so I opened the cage and pulled the bigger box there. He jumped in and went for a pee and a poo. =) so there, nothing more to worry about. I think he understood that he was not allowed to go out, and I tried as much as possible to be near him or at least at sight. He's sure clever, as he would immediately meow once I go out of sight, I guess he demanded to be accompanied, if he was to be kept in the cage. Just 1 week Bulan, you'll be out soon!!

Attempting to escape??

And also asking for help from Bintang

Day 3 - 7

From day 3 onwards, he wasn't under my care, but of course I kept myself updated. I even talk to him and Bintang by phone. He was very much healthy, he ate and drank well. He was still on E-collar, as he would lick hard, I guess maybe it itched. He was ready to go out, but I refused to let him out before his 1 week is over. Once in a while, he would be taken for a walk, he'd be allowed to walk around with no running or jumping. He had his tiger accompanying him , it had been in the cage with him since day 1. He was assisted when he wanted to pee or poo, assisted as in pulling the bigger box to the front of the cage and have him use it. Somehow he didn't like the smaller box. He was also very demanding, he meows for food, which he usually would not do. I think Bintang missed playing with Bulan, because once in a while, when the door was open, bintang would go in and join Bulan in the cage. Bintang was allowed to stay in, for as long as they don't start playing rough.

Bulan with his Tiger
When he was let off the E-collar,
he would do this comfortably...

And YES, he licks..so the E-collar stays...
and so does Bintang, besides the cage accompanying him..

Day 8

If it was me, I would take the extra measure to have him confined for 2 weeks. Ya, that's the typical me. But I was told that he was fine, and fur has started to grow back. So I agreed that he could be released but still restrict too much running or jumping. It seemed to me, that Bulan celebrated his release. He played with Bintang, roamed around, explored the area, sniffing everything, looked out the window, and went to every inch of space he could reach. I think it was like a whole day and night before he slowed down, went for food and drink and only then slept.

I guess he had been wanting to look out the window...
so here goes...for as long as he wished...He'd like to prove that he is indeed fine, so up the wardrobe he goes...

which means he could jump up high....

**I guess everything went well. Bulan has been neutered, it's a once in a lifetime thing for him and I hope it was for the best. As for me, it's my first time experience ever, having my cat neutered. Next, would be Bintang. I heard that the procedure and recovery is more complicated with female cats. So the anxiety is still there. I will reserve myself for 2 weeks to care for Bintang. I hope she will do just fine, as Bulan did.**

Neutering Bulan

As a preparation for Bulan's neutering, he had to fast from 10 pm the night before. No food, no drinks. It was a challenge for me because Bulan is usually faster when it comes to food. the moment I wake up in the morning, he'd immediately head for the dish bowl. Although Bintang is the one who works hard to get me awake, Bulan would never fail to reach the dish bowl first. Today, as it is like any other day, he woke up upon seeing me sitting up and straight away head for the dish bowl, which are no longer in place.... I'm so sorry baby Bulan, no food this morning. My heart hurt hearing his meowing, I knew he was asking for food.

And so were were at the Klinik Kembiri at 9.00 am. Mr Krishnan estimated that he will be done by 10.30 am. We left him there to get other matters settled, I felt so reluctant to let him alone, but he was put in the room where the operation would take place. So we wouldn't be able to see him anyway.

We came back at exactly 10.30 am, and he wasn't done yet. He was done at about 11.30 am. While waiting, we got the chance to witness dogs being carried away from the DBKL van, I wonder where they were caught from. I'm scared of dogs in general and have never gotten near dogs (well I did once), but I can definitely differentiate a dog's sad cry compare to other barks, and you can see it in their face. As I heard, they would eventually be put to sleep.

Bulan was awake, when he got out. Maybe I was a bit emotional, but he did look a bit sad. Was it the procedure? Or was it me leaving him there on his own for several ours? Or was it plainly because he was still sedated. Whatever it is, the emotion got into me. I'm just doing whatever is best, I'm sorry if it wasn't or if he doesn't think so. I also purchased an e-collar, just in case he licks...After all, it is his usual self to lick himself, even on the slightest dirt. Then home we go, and that is the beginning of Day 1 post-operative care.

This pic was taken when we 1st got home. He could only move the top half of his body, and yet he was already trying to get out of the cage. He then slept all day.

2nd Vaccination

Tuesday 25 November 2008

Went for their 2nd vaccination today. Cost me RM60.00. Hope this week goes well for them. I've prepared raw chicken for them, in case they go moody and decide not to eat kibbles.

As suggested by the vet, I shouldn't delay spaying/neutering, contraceptives are not 100% guaranteed, duh!!! So Bulan is scheduled to be neutered next week on the 3rd of December. Hope all goes well. Bintang will later be scheduled to be spayed most earliest on the 18th of December. She will be given her 3rd contraceptive pill, to prevent her from calling in strays to mate with her, perhaps???

Bintang after vaccinated.
NO, I didn't put her there. That's just her usual spot.

Bulan sleeping after vaccinated.
This is one of his most usual spot for sleeping.
On my study table in between a printer and a box.

Unlike their 1st vaccination, this time around, it's been much better. They slept, seemed a bit weak in the afternoon. And by night time, walah!!! as usual, they ran all over the place and turned everything upside down. Yeah, despite of the mess that I shall be cleaning after, I'm happy that they're fine =).
