4/7/2012 - Speaking of Bart or other cats, I believe their eating habits, diets, and pattern of exercising have a lot to do with their longevity.  For example, MaGi, Gi, Bart or Lung would basically eat anything with selective exercising, so they don't have an overall well balanced health like myself or Mui.  Of course heredity or other factors has a lot to do with life expectancy and longevity too, like Lik or Hart, who passed away abruptly due to some acute terminal illnesses, or like Gi or Chung, who had to go through a prolonged period of torturing before giving up at the end.  I am not a medical doctor, scientist or statistician, so I speculate that my cat mommy and 5 siblings passed away before me is due to the things I said above.  In the following picture taken 3 years ago today (4/7/2009), Fatty was feeding MaGi and Bart some pieces of rotisserie chicken from Shaw's Supermarket.  I remember MaGi and Bart would literally sit next to Fatty everyday around dinner time looking for desirable foods from white rice to chicken breast to ducks.

So, ever since my catastrophic health disruption in 2007, in which I will tell my story around its anniversary (in early summer), I have transformed myself to eat only certain kinds of foods at specific times of the day, and poop around the same time everyday.  I have also learned a great deal of exercising from Mui and I believe that's how she stayed extremely healthy until the very end of her life.  About 2 years ago, Mui started urging me to exercise more like herself by demanding Ball and Fatty to play "soccer" or "volleyball".  Since Mui passed away in 9/2011, I have asked Ball and Fatty to play with me much more frequently than before.  Like this afternoon, I have asked both of them to play with me, and we interacted with each other really well too.  In the following 3 pictures taken this afternoon, I asked Ball to give me a cottonball (Robert, Lung, and Bart loved it), and I carried it myself so I could play "soccer" with Fatty on the other side of the living room.

Then Ball and Fatty dug out some of my siblings' favorite toys like zip ties (Mui):

and Pringle's cap (Mui again).
