Meow Me was put on a fast since 12midnite yesterday for she is undergoing sterilisation today. Sterilisation is necessary to reduce probability of health problems and also to prevent her from going into heat. Cant imagine what to do if she starts to go into heat and start to caterwaul or run out of the house to look for mate etc.So this moring, I brought her to AMK clinic. Dr Vanessa examined her and we discussed the probability of her already experiencing silent call heats. More frequent meowing..rolling around.. getting aggressive etc. She bites!! But nope its not painful. =) Hopefully, she haven experienced a real heat for I read online that its healthier for a cat to be sterilised before she goes into heat. But of cos, after is ok too. Got them to help clean her ears too.. For I dun wan to traumatized her after the surgery with ear cleansing. Yes, she still hates to have her ears cleansed. Guess I am still not pro enuff. She behaved quite well last sunday when we brought her for her 2nd basic grooming session and didnt fidgeted too much when the boss cleansed her ear. Well... they are the pros anyway. So anyway, I will be goin to bring her back later at around 6 plus 7. Hope she recovers well and will be back to normal after 48hrs. The house feels so weird without her around. =(
Some of my frens have been asking abt Meow Me's condition. Thanks guys for ur concern and well wishes. Well, I have sort of become a bit bang tang.. so I wont say much except that its easier caring for her now. Hopefully visits to the clinic will no longer be a weekly affair. have been spending my weekends at home to look after her. So frens, pls pardon me if I haven really been able to meet up with u all. Been really taxing both physically, mentally and financially. Twice I broke down and the 2nd time was the worst. I felt so bad and dear was so worried that I will do something stupid. But that's over. No worries. Financially wise, just a few days ago, I finally plucked out enough courage to do up the sums. A few hundreds per mth. Enough for me to buy maybe 2 katespades?. haha. How can I still laugh? but thinking of her slowly making progression sure brings a smile to my face. Though the pain is there in the pocket (and in my knees too!)but nothing brightens up my day as compared to seeing her running to the door when she hears me coming home in the evening after a day at work.. rubbing her head against my leg when she wants food.. her excitement when we play hide n seek.. her pawing at the stupid hole in the floor & rotating round n round the hole thinking that it is a fly or stin...seeing her daintily walk to daddy's room automatically when she is tired at nite, finally settling down at a corner on the floor but waking up in the morning lying next to mum on the bed.. hearing mum telling me abt the noti noti things she does such as lying on the table when mum is cutting clothes.. kicking my mum awake early in the monring at 5 plus 6 asking for food, falling asleep on the pile of clothes that my mum wants to fold. The ridiculous and amazingly adoring sleep postures she has.. Even just looking at her looking up at me when I carry her warms up my heart. Those eyes not only warms my heart, they practically melt them. Simply captivating. Even the vets, nurses and the staff at the grooming place commented that she is so pretty! My princess!!~
But of cos there are the frustrations which just have to be swallowed. Crawling under the bed (me i meant) just to carry her out for her ear cleansing (normally takes me 1 hr).. and previously medication. Getting attacked by her suddenly leaping up at me on nites that she is wide awake and still running around the house at 1 plus 2am. Grabbing the litter spade when I am clearing the litter. Behaving like a little vaccum cleaner licking off all sorts of stuffs from the floor. Running super fast all over the house like she's racing suddenly and sometimes banging herself against eh cupboards etc.. Refusing to let me clean up her bum bum when she stains them.. Messing up the shoes at the shoe rack. Climbing up on the window to look at birds. Being able to cut her nails only when she's asleep which also means that I have to lie flat on my stomach for some time whilst clipping her nails. The most memorable mixture of feelings i experienced is waking up and bein told by my mum that Meow Me hate a large portion of "huat kuey" in the nite (mum woke up and kicked on a partially consumed "huat kuey" in the morning during CNY period. I didnt know whether to laugh or to be worried! Brushing her hair every other day brings me a mixture of feelings too. She would refuse to be brushed but once she enjoys it, she will even turn herself so that I can brush her other side of the body. Clever MM.
So how can I ever be angry with her? Even though I really wish that she will come when she is called.. be more clingy to us i.e coming to sit at our lap etc.. and of which she is not, I still love and dote on her. Perhaps, she's like me... have the default "dun come n mess with me" look and behaviour sometimes. =p But the joy she brings is contagious. Everyone is smiling more now. Dad, Mum, Jack, Yenling, Yenwei, Auntie and Uncle. Even Pei Pei (who still do not dare to carry her) and Irine laughs at her silly actions and cant help playing with her. How not to love her? How not to? All I can say is that We LOVE Meow Me and hey dear, you are missing out on a whole load of fun and laughter!!
Ok that's quite a long entry though I initially intended to keep it to just a paragraph. Gotto clean her litter now so that she can come home to a clean environment. Bless you my baby.
