Ruby after her breakfast
Ruby, the grand dame of the Chaos household has recently started to wheeze no reason. I used to think it was hairball but after repeated hairball gel feeding, she still wheezes.
I asked foster mom P this morning & she said it is ‘old cat’ symptoms. Apparently, it is a common thing for very old cats & dogs to wheeze. Its not asthma either. It is just a telling sign that she is getting on with old age & I should be prepared for the worse in the months to come.
Drool …
March 14, 2008
Does your cat drool when he/she is very very happy?
Wawa has started drooling lately. When I cuddle in my arms, she would roll about in my arms, purr & then drool. Droplets of saliva drooling down the chin. It feels like to holding a month old baby in my arms. Something I don’t relish to be honest. But at least I know I’m doing something right, giving her joy 
Updates
March 3, 2008Hi all! The break had been good. Not sure about Chaos. Probably too much of this crazy cat mama in their face!
There is actually not much to update. The Chaos are pretty much the same, up to their usual play & games. With the addition of Zen, the excitement level in the household is definitely up a few notches.
You see, Zen is not really zen after all. We (Chaos & I) swear he is the devil reincarnate. All those zen stuff he did before, was a PR stunt. :) Since joining the household, he has successfully:
1. made firm enemies with Beauty, Carma, Junior & Wawa
2. cause injuries to Abby, my help. He dashed, she tripped, hurt her ankle. I pay the medical bill & cleaned the flat. Thanks Zen.
3. scare the neighbours’ kids. Again he dashed out the door, headed straight for the lift, kids were just coming home from school. Loud screams. The fella dashed back, the kids followed him. Now everyone knows where we live. Great.
4. beat the crap out of Beauty’s favourite teddy bear. I had to put the little fella ‘to sleep’. Beauty is now teddy bearless.
5. officiated his place on my bed by wiping his dirty (& I mean DIRTY) backside on my pillow. I had to buy a new pillow & linens.
6. beat Beauty in the heaviest cat in the house record.
7. won every human’s heart over. Everyone who has been to my place, ADORES him. And each time I would offer “like to take him home?” But I should be sooooo lucky. 
By the way I am debating if I should change his name to Mister Luci(fer).
Can I borrow your cat?
March 3, 2008No, this is not a joke. I wish it was.
A co-worker asked if he can borrow one of my cats for 2 weeks. Why? He wants his kids to play with the cats. I suggest he takes his kids to the SPCA for a few Sundays, to volunteer & expose them to the pets there. His answer was “no way! My kids are not scooping poop! If your cat comes home with me, my maid can do that. But I only want kitten ok?”
Well then Mister, good luck in your search for a rental kitten then.
I was playing this scenario in my head over & over again over the weekend. It is precisely because of irresponsible parents like him, too stupid to impart real values of life to their children, that our society is the way it is - ungracious, impatient, intolerant & callous regard for lives they consider lesser than theirs!
Our Minister Mentor calls this the ‘golden era’. Golden era my foot! More like that the stupid generations I say.
Sabbatical
December 11, 2007Chaos is taking a long sabbatical from the blogsphere.
So we’d like to wish all a Merry Christmas & a great 2008 ahead!
Cheers!
Pets get photos with Santa Claws
December 4, 2007
Ohio.com, 2 December 2007
JACKSON TWP.: Some Santas are born jolly. Some have jolly thrust upon them.
Ken Dexter, a 48-year-old Massillon factory welder posing with dogs and cats at PetSmart on Saturday, first donned the red suit for the Stark County Humane Society 15 years ago.
It was the first time he volunteered for the annual photo session, and the female Santa was having a rough day, Dexter remembered.
”She was very impatient,” he said.
”’Look,’ I said, ‘these people are here to take a picture. They want a good picture.’ And I said, ‘Why don’t you just have a little bit of patience with them?’ She goes, ‘Well, if you think you can do a better job . . . here.’ She stopped right in front of the kids. Took her Santa suit off right in front of the kids and handed it to me. So ever since then, I’ve done it.”

Be a better person
November 29, 2007We all know that people miraculously fall asleep or concentrate very hard on their newspapers in the train when a pregnant woman, an old folk & someone with toddler walks in.
Yesterday, my encounter takes the cake.
A very pregnant woman walked in. A young man was seated next to the door. He looked at her but didn’t do anything (he was ’sleeping’ or reading. Eyes wide open, looked at her). I asked the woman if she would like to sit. She just smiled. So, I asked the young man, if he would be kind enough to give up his seat to the woman. He looked at me, squarely in the eye, and said “Why should I?” I was flabbergasted. A lady seated next to the young man, looked up from her newspaper, quickly stood up to offer her seat. He sat through the journey, nonchalant of his ungracious behaviour. I was sooo tempted to kick those useless balls of his.
C’mon man, that pregnant woman is someone’s wife, mother, sister, daughter! Will it kill him to stand the rest of the way? Be a man, be a better person!
