A rough, tough & exhausted October...... but the tough gets going...!!!



October had been a very tiring month for us all. Kitty though had made good progress in her mobility via acupuncture; one of her breast lump had grown faster as well. She had lost 0.2 kg to 2.8kg, which was a worry to the vet. So we decided to do the following:

-   On 19/10 she was admitted for blood test. Result showed that her kidney condition was stable – she suffered from kidney degeneration due to ageing, but the condition was acceptable for operation. She was put on drips for one day.

-   On 20/10, her chest X-ray showed that it was clear, which meant the cancer had not spread to the lungs. So she could have the 2 breast lumps removed. The ultrasound in the abdomen found nothing, which meant there was no suspected mass.

-   Overall, though we were heartbroken that she had her second operation this year (last one in 1/12), that Saturday seemed a long and scary day, as the wait was painful, worrying and panicky, but we were truly relieved when told of the above results. It was actually the best scenario for us!

-   We agreed not to send the tissues for lab test, as both the vet and us were pretty certain in our mind that it would be cancerous.

-   This time, it took Kitty a bit longer to recover, but she did it.


- What more could we ask for! Since we have been given more time together, we will surely treasure each moment, living life together, hopefully in a peaceful, relaxing and painless way!
 

Ooops.... Plse don't forget about our other child Goldie -- such an adorable kid!!

A Whole New World - from the cats' perspectives



Mummy’s after-thought:

We are truly grateful to the Lord, to all our friends/supporters, the contest selection committee of Kakato to have chosen our children as Champion in their respective categories.

Since both children are required to participate in the award presentation ceremony, we informed them of their big day well in advance, with the hope to at least prepared them psychologically. I think this did work, as both children were pretty co-operative when we prepared them for their “adventure”.

Kitty though might not enjoy the occasion, by her nature compiled with the proceedings pretty well. When left on the stage to take her own photos, she even moved forward a bit to look at the gifts. However, after the event, she seemed to have bad dreams – for the first 2 weeks after the event, she sometimes meowed loudly during her sleep at night.

Goldie, being the timid lady who doesn’t like to be cuddled had a tough time during the presentation and group photo taking sessions. However, for her solo photo taking session, she was pretty co-operative. As always, she was being called "Garfield" by some.

Thank you children, for being yourself. Hope that both of you had fun, as it was a very valuable experience to all. Both of you finally saw A WHOLE NEW WORLD, which is very different from what you see each day from the balcony at home….. hahaha!!

Every cloud has a silver lining?

Wishing our viewers and their family Good Luck, Good Health, Great Prosperity+Success+Happiness in Year of Dragon !!
 
We have been looking forward to celebrate Kitty's 17th Birthday for some time,



but unfortunately towards the end of December, we discovered a lump in Kitty's breast. This threw our hopes from peak to trough....  We were faced with the challenge of whether to let her have the operation.  Fortunately with guidance of the Lord, support and advise from friends and Kitty's vet, we made the bold decision to go ahead.

Kitty is really a very brave and tough fighter with an iron will. She managed to overcome this challenge with flying colors and within a week from operation, life return to normal.




We are truly grateful to all our friends for their support, care and love, for without which, we might not be able to do so brillantly.

The remaining near term challenge is to bring both children to the upcoming Pet Expo on 5th February 2012 .... a brand new experience for them.... Hope they will behave and enjoy themselves
