To the Vet....with Matahari...

Matahari went out the whole night on Monday night...
and he was missing a whole day yesterday...
we went to look for him in the evening...
calling his name...
Yeap...i looked for him in the morning and then afternoon...
but then there was no sight of him...
by evening...Chin's nephew and I went looking around calling him...
and i heard his soft answer from the monsoon drain...
Luckily the drain is dry...and the
steel hatch could be lifted up easily...
so..Chin's See Gem went in to bring him out...
after dinner...i bathe him...
and he kept mewing when i washed him...
only later that i realised he injured himself in the stomach...
so i sms Zairol to ask what should be done...
(Ol is my old buddy from Uni and he's a vet in Putrajaya)
I washed Matahari's wound as instructed but
he seemed to be in pain...
finally he fell asleep in his basket at 12am...
haih....
This morning he still seemed unwell...
ao we brought him to the vet in Jalan Pantai...
The vet pressed his wound for the abses to come out...
aih....then he applied antiseptic...
and Matahari got 2 jabs...
Owww....that must be painful...
served him right for missing a whole day and night...
Coming back from the vet...
he slept the whole day....
fed him at six just now and then applied the antiseptic
to his wound...
he seems okay a bit...more energetic...
but he stil has trouble jumping onto high areas...
i put him in the cage since he already seems very
curious to roam again....
I'm glad he's okay...
Luckily this happens during the holiday and we
have the time to send him to the vet...
and that we are at home to take care of him...
If it happens during school days....
haih...maybe we have to bring him to school...

Matahari is sick...

We just got back yesterday and today
is like so busy....
with friends visiting and entertaining....
Somehow...i notice that Matahari is not as active as
before and he is a bit weak....
he does try to play once in a while but he seems to be easily tired
too....and he sneezes once or twice...
Seems like he's having a sort of diarrhea....
he had messed up his litter box this morning...
like he didn't manage to get inside the box to
let everything out...
Poor kitty....
Chin also noticed these changes in him...
maybe it was the effect of him being terrorised by
the kids yesterday but well...
matahari is not that kind of cat....
maybe he had eaten something that he was not supposed to eat...
i hate it when this kind of thing
happens during the weekends...
it means the vet would be closed and
i have to sms my vet friend for some advice...
Matahari is sleeping now....
and i hope he'll be fine tomorrow...

The arrogant beauty one street away...

Dogs are loyal creatures as well as super adorable....if they are
from the superior breed....and it is indeed a man's best friend....
it would endure anything for the sake of its master...
the hot and cold weather notwithstanding...

A neighbour one street away owns this one magnificent dog of
Siberian Husky breed...truly a beautiful animal....and big....too....
I have always love dogs...especially big ones...and among my favourites
are siberian husky and golden retriever...
We drive pass this neighbour's house everyday as their house is located on
the main street that leads out of the housing area...
Everytime we pass by, we would slow down to have a look at this beauty...
During day time...it would sleep behind the flowering pot near
the entrance because of the hot weather...and by night it would reign
right in the middle of the porch...taking its stance...erect and alert if
any of the neighbours pass by...
The owner is quite a well off middle age couple...who seem to be rarely
at home....
and there seem to be very little contact between the dog and its owner...
To us..the dog seems pretty lonely....with no one to play with...
It is a quiet dog...nary a sound...
that is as far as the description goes....
Yesterday we decided to take a walk past the house just to see
the dog...
Chin is especially intrigued with the dog...
As we walked past the dog quickly got up from its haunch
and walk cautiously and threateningly towards the gate...
it eyed us cautiously...almost challengingly...
and when Chin stopped a couple of feet away....it tried to stare him down...
unflinchingly...
When Chin took a step to the left...it also took a cautious step to the left....
as if saying...are you challenging me...ha?ha?
Come on now...i'm not afraid of you...

It is loyal in every way to its owner...
eventho the owner...to us ...does not treat him well...
he is treated like a common local breed...
not allowed to be in the house on a hot afternoon...
and alone at night....haih....
But it is confirmed....
we definitely fall in love with him...(we assume it's a him...)
