Mother and Son

They both love sitting by the door and look out at the frontyard. I sneaked up to them slowly (as they will normally come to me if I go close) and managed to snap this photo.

Another Kittens Alert

Remember my friend who had some kittens problems 2 years ago? Read about it at New Borns and Clearer Photos of the New Borns.

Well, he gave me a call about 2 weeks ago. Apparently another mummy kitty has given birth near his garden. But the kittens are about 2 months old now and are playing in his garden. I went over and managed to snap some photos of the 3 kittens, although they are very shy and hide in the drain whenever I go too near.


A cute Calico kitten.


A cute Black and White kitten.


Another adorable Black and White kitten.


The mummy kitty observing me from under the drain.


My friend are now feeding the kittens and I told him to make friends with them so that we can get them spayed (the mummy kitty too) and maybe put them up for adoption. They are all now too afraid if humans and it is impossible to catch them.

Kitty Door Stopper

I have recently bought a new stopper for the front door. It is in a shape of a cat, and Sesame seems to think that it is a new friend.


Sesame : I think the new kitty is really cute, he even looks a bit like me!


This is how the kitty door stopper looks like up close. I think Sesame is way cuter. Dont you think so?

New Camera for New Kitty Shots!

I've bought a new camera about 1 month ago and has been experimenting a lot with it. Absolutely LOVE the photos is it able to take.


For once, Ginger is not shy and does not mind the camera in her face.


Simply Gorgeous in Ginger.


Sesame : What's up there?


Sesame : Be quiet, I am concentrating very hard here.


Sesame : Look, I got 1 big eye and 1 small eye!


Pepper : What YOU looking at?


Garlic : Dont you think my nose is cute?


Garlic : See! My whiskers and eye brows are cute too!


Garlic : Oh dear, we got a new paparazzi in the house. I better watch what I do.

Party, Balloons and Twister

I had a Valentine's Party at my house on Saturday. All of the Spice Cats enjoyed the air-conditioned night. But Ginger was in hiding most of the time.


Sesame and Garlic checking out the balloons.


Sesame is pretty careful about it at first, but I think he managed to burst a few, then stayed away from them completely.


Pepper loves Twister!


Sesame also loves looking straight at the camera, which enable me to take this beautiful shot up-close.

Spice Cats in their CNY outfit


Chinese New Year is over. The photos are actually taken during the first few days of Chinese New Year. And yes, I bought only 1 outfit, shared among the 4 Spice Cats as well as Coco. And the outfit is only for photograph purpose. All of them prefer to walk around naked.


Sesame looked pretty cute in the outfit, though he was really confused about the new thing on his body.


Pepper was not happy at all and gave me the annoyed look.


The outfit is a bit too big for Ginger. She managed to get both her front paws out before settling down comfortably.


Garlic was absolutely confused, but I think he looked the best in the outfit.


Eventhough he has wore the outfit himself, he cant helped but being incredibly curious when it was Garlic's turn to wear it.

Happy Chinese New Year!

First of all, we would like to wish all the chinese out there a very Happy Chinese New Year! This year, I also bought a cute oriental outfit for Coco and the Spice Cats.


Coco : HELP!?!?!


She stopped asking for help and start posing for photographs after a few minutes.
The outfit fits Coco perfectly, maybe slightly loose.

If you want to see the Spice Cats in their outfit, tune in next week!

Mother and Son - Isolated

Saturday morning i checked on Sesame's bladder and noticed that it was very full. He had just recovered from a bladder infection about 2 weeks back and I have been checking his bladder regularly. Worried, I brought him to the vet right away. The vet tried to simulate him to pee but was unsuccessful. The vet suspected that there is some blockage. So Sesame was hospitalized right away, as the blockage may cause the pee to back-flow to the kidney, resulting in kidney failure which could be fatal.

He was sedated and a tube was inserted to help get his pee out. The vet said that when they tried to clear the blockage, there was some sandy material that came out. He was also put on IV as there were some toxins in his kidney that needs to be flushed out. Sesame, however, managed to remove the tube by himself on the first day and removed the IV all by himself on the 3rd day.

As he has not stayed over at a foreign place, in a cage before, he was miserable and refused to eat. I went to visit him everyday. He looked miserable and refused to acknowledge my presence.

On Tuesday, the vet said I can bring him home as he has started peeing on his own. Xray showed that there are no visible stones in the bladder nor kidney. Blood test (that came in Wed morning) showed that all his kidney readings are normal (no more toxins!). Maybe sensing that he is going home, Sesame was very happy and came straight to me when I opened the cage.

As he is on medication for 3 weeks, he needs to be separated from the other Spice Cats so that I can monitor his food and water intake, as well as pee and poo.


Right after I brought him home, he said Hi to all the other Spice Cats and started eating! He was also extremely vocal, demanding to be stroke and pampered and carried. I obliged :)


Sesame's hand, where the IV was inserted.


Sesame licking his little IV wound.


Unfortunately, on Tuesday morning, I also discovered that there are pee in Pepper's urine. So I brought her to the vet on Tuesday evening. She is also now separated and on medication for the next 3 weeks. I also need to bring her back to the vet for some tests next week.


I've placed her in the cat room, together with Sesame, but in the cage, as she and Sesame needs to be monitored separately.


Pepper sitting in the clean litter box.


Both of them would need to be kept isolated for 4 weeks. They would also need to go on a special kind of food that will help flush out small stones (if any) from the bladder and kidney for about 3 months. But I am just glad that Sesame is home and the critical stage is over.
