2006



Followings are 2008



I feel like Lancie will be staying here for a little bit, so I welcome her when she comes back, and I'd give her a "goodbye" when she leaves the house.

Followings are all 2008









Lancie is still here, and I am quite comfortable with her, so I tried sleeping with her in the afternoon.  She is kind enough and cuddled me when I went up to her.

2012-05-24 Lonely Robert, Gi's companionship, lizard Mui, and Fatty's photo

5/24/2012 - Although I did not talk to Robert much, but I always watched her hissing at Chung, or she would sleep, sit, eat, or lie alone somewhere.  8 years ago today (5/24/2004), even there were 9 of us at the time, but Robert was a little sad because Chung was gone a few months prior to that.

Fortunately, Gi would spend some time with Robert occasionally back then, so Robert did not feel lonely, unlike how I feel now.

On the same day, we kind of wanted to cheer up Robert, so we invited her to have group dinner with us.  Mui, the only short hair cat in our litter, even shared a bowl with her too!  The only cat missing from this photo is Lik.


Mui had a strange habit that probably learned from Robert - laid on the sofa like a lizard.  I remember Robert used to do that and I bet Mui learned it from her.  This photo was taken 4 years ago today (5/24/2008):


2 years ago today (5/24/2010), the 3 of us, Mui, Lik, and I, were generally healthy (Mui's kidneys just started to act up), so Fatty wanted to cuddle us and take a photo.  From time to time, Fatty would yell at us, but the cleaning he has done, the time and money he spent on us, the tears he shed, sacrifices he made, and the care he has provided to us over the years were simply priceless.  I cannot imagine I would be as selfless as Fatty and Ball if I am a human being.  They have not taken a vacation since 10/2004, near 8 years ago.  They have given up many opportunities from buying another house to having a child of their own to limiting their choice of cars, to giving up career advancements.  So once in a while, I would lie on him or at least bear with him if he's home alone.


Today, I have a visitor - Ball's oldest sister, Lancie!  I remember she would come visit Ball and us once in a long while.  She always treats us well.  I also remember couple years ago, she brought her son with her too despite her son is allergic to cat hair.  When Lancie came into the door, she kindly petted me too! 



Lancie is honest and kind.  She said something Benny stated: "I feel sorry for Wong as she's alone all by herself.  Hopefully I don't have to be like her when I get older."  I think she's right about that, but fortunately Fatty and Ball treat me well and spend a lot of time with me.

After that, it was my dinner time.  Nowadays, after Mui and Lik left, I rarely go into the kitchen and demand dinner proactively because I normally eat dry foods and a little bit wet food before Ball and Fatty come home at 6'ish.  So by the time they're home, I don't feel hungry at all.  Today is a little different, so I stood on the purple stool and demanded dinner.  Fatty kindly prepared the dinner for me tonight.

2012-05-23 Lung head cut, enjoyed spring, and MaGi's habits

5/23/2012 - It's amazing how times goes by fast.  6 years ago today (5/23/2006), Lung was recovering from cuts on his head.  It was most likely due to allergy.  He was comfortably sleeping with Lik and Bart on the old sofa.



4 years ago today (5/23/2008), with the same silly Lung, he was comfortably walking in the front yard with a leash.  He was really enjoying the spring at the time. 



3 years ago today (5/23/2009), MaGi was already quite sick.  Her kidneys were failing, and she had a tumor in her intestines.  But she was still enjoying her life at the time.  She was doing what she always did - dipped her front foot into the food and then licked off the food from her paws.




If I remember correctly, Lik was eating with MaGi, so Lik was cleaning (a typical cat's habit).


When MaGi was done grabbing food from the plate, she was sticking out her tongue just to show us the attitude - "so what?"


Time goes by fast, none of them is around anymore.  Hopefully when it's time for me to go, Fatty or Ball would continue this blog for a little while, so that our stories can be shared with the world.

2012-05-22 Lik ripped paper and Lung discharged from MSPCA

5/22/2012 - Like I stated yesterday, every cat in this house had distinctive personalities.  4 years ago today (5/22/2008), as we were waiting for Lung to be discharged from MSPCA, Lik was playing with some garbage paper.  Ever since we moved here in 2000, Lik began playing with garbage paper, and when she gets playful, she would use her teeth and ripped the papers apart like the following photo:

We, including Ball and Fatty, always laughed at Lik on how she played with garbage paper.  MaGi had that habit as well, but Lik just loved ripping through garbage papers.

Ball and Fatty told us that they sneaked out during lunch hour and visited Lung at the intensive care unit (ICU). They told us Lung was doing fine and active, so they were allowed to pick him up in the evening. 

As soon as Lung was allowed to be discharged in the evening (6pm), Fatty and Ball went straight to MSPCA after work.  Even though the bill came to like $1,800 for a 2-day stay, but as long as Lung was able to come home in one piece, Fatty and Ball just simply ignored how many % their credit cards were charging them in interest.  Fatty and Ball told us that Lung had like tens of tests done at the hospital.


At MSPCA, according to Ball and Fatty, Lung was starving. So they prepared some dry foods for Lung (they brought some cat dry foods with them to work), and silly Lung was just chowing down those like no tomorrow. 






As usual, Ball cuddled Lung in the back seats as Fatty was nagivating through the traffic during evening rush hours.  By the time Lung got home, he did not come into the house first, instead, he wanted to walk in the driveway!


That was the last time Lung got admitted into MSPCA because we, including Ball and Fatty, knew that Lung's days were numbered from that point and on.
A year ago today (5/22/2011), I did something Mui was unable to do from the previous day - drank water with Lik!  hahahahaha


Later in the day, all 3 of us at the time were allowed to visit our "game bag" from the small closet in the living room.  We were so happy that we could pick and choose toys we liked freely, spread them out in the living room and played with each other.

Ever since Lik left me behind 2 months ago, I have not visited the "game bag" because it's not the old days anymore.  What's the point of making a mess without my dear comrades advocating and cheering behind me?
