A TRIBUTE TO MAXI, ANGEL AND SAD TIMES HERE

It has been really sad times at our home for the past 2 weeks.

My best buddy, Maxi, died.
He was okay one day and then, the next day, he was gone.
He didn't even make it to the vet.

Here are some infor on our Maxi.
He was the only male cat at home.
Here is Maxi at his favourite spot at home, always under some cabinet..

Maxi is always at this same spot in Mummy's room at night.

No cat or human can occupy this space.

He will wrestle with any cats who tried to steal this spot.

Maxi is the softest, kindest and loving cat ever.

Any person who sees him said the same word : adorable!

He was also the biggest cat with the fluffiest fur!

Healthy appetite and loves to sleep.

Maxi is also knows as Mr Squishy nose..the most flat faced Persians we have known so far.

Big size apart, he is really a huge teddy bear.

He loves food and is the kindest cat in our home.

Maxi hates eye cleaning which all Persians have to do!

He will close his eyes tightly and know it's eyes cleaning time.

Here's Maxi and his bushy tail.

We cats like to bully him and bite his tail sometimes.

He rarely fights back but always ran away to hide under bookshelves or more cabinets.

Here is Maxi and me.

We have both came a long.

As Persians, we are the closest and always are together.

The family missed him a lot.

The family loves him and I love you too, Maxi.

We know you will have plenty of kibbles in Kitty heaven.

You will forever be in our hearts.

Maxi has been buried within our home compound, so though he is no longer around, he is always still close to us.

Goodbye, Maxi my wrestling partner. 

AND, if losing Maxi was bad.
Our bad luck didn't end there in just losing a kitty.

Our American Shorthair, Angel, went missing for the 2nd time.
She was lost once, but came back home after 2 days.
After that time, she is always around house.
She still goes out everyday to catch cockraches and geckos for the other cats..., but she always comes home without fail.
However, this time, she is missing for more than 5 days. Longest ever.
We are all confident she did not run away because she has her daily routine.
Morning walk, home, evening walk, but always at night without fail.
Always sleeping next to Mummy. Doing her kitty massage on her lap at times. Or getting her head rub every night.
Angel was most attached to Mummy because they have this special bond at night.
Come home soon Angel. We are down to 2 kitties for now 'sob'sob'.
We can never be angry with Angel. One look at her green eyes and everyone's heart will be melted...
Sad times continue....

Both humans and cats loved both of them so much.
We doubt if any other cats can ever replace them, they hold such special place in our hearts.

RIP Maxi.
Come home soon Angel.

For now, we are down to 2 kitties only :(

Maxi says....

Hello all

Maxi and I have been lazing around.
The weather is super hot here nowadays.
We like to sleep under the cabinets, shelves, beds, chairs...anywhere that is cool.

However, Maxi favourite place is in this air conditioned room. He can laze here forever...and ever.
After a few shy months, he no longer hides away from the human family.
He's all out in the open.
Parading his belly all the time.

Moeow....we'll be back soon :)

MUSINGS

I would like to tell you about myself.
I was the first cat.
I was the cat-lover-converter. Means, the whole family was not into cat, until I converted them.
I have that special powers to make people love me, and my fellow felines at home.
I am still the head of the house.

I remembered when I first came home.
They all went to choose me and I was in this little cage inside the house.
Mummy was the last person to know there was a cat.
Yep, she had quite a shock to see me inside the house.
Her first words were..."what an ugly cat!!"
What me? An ugly cat?

So, this was me when I was just a few days at home. I thought I was cute.
Mummy didn't.
Thank goodness everyone else loved me even then.

I used to sleep with Mummy. That was my secret weapon. Not long after, she loves me.
Here's her favourite shot of me sleeping when I was a little kitten.

Then months went by and I grew.
A lot more! So, to prove how much I have grown in the past 7 months since staying with my human family, I post a before (kitten time - age 2.5 months) and now picture (almost 10 months).
Now, mummy never calls me ugly anymore.
They do have many other funny names they call me, but I don't care as long as the food keeps coming :)
After a bout of fungus and losing a lot of my kitten fur, it grew more, softer, thicker and denser.
Okay, okay...I wasn't so cute as a little kitten.
I am way better now :)
Don't you think so?

Bye for now....
Love, Princess

MAXI

Mummy's been complaining.
One cat has been playing with her stuff on the table.
She leaves them neat and comes come to things being shuffled.
She said ..."must be you, Princess!"
..but I protested! It was certainly not me!!

Then, we found the culprit!!
Sleeping on the table most days when no one is at home...

I knew it was you Maxi!

Maxi says " yeah! yeah! So what? Now leave me alone!"

We have a long weekend for Chinese New Year.
Now that means the human family is at home.
Also means more food for us.
We heard there's a BBQ going on, so bet that's going to be good too :)

Bye!

My spot!

There is this one particular special spot at Mummy's room downstairs.
It's has air condition, and it's Maxi's favourite spot!

Here was what happened:

Maxi : Hey! Princess move away, that is my spot!!
Princess: No way!

Maxi: Now you leave me no choice but to wrestle with you !!
Princess: I will take my chances!!

....5 minutes later..

...15minutes later...still wrestling...longest session ever...

And...finally, Maxi won :(
Yeah...he looked pretty happy and smug!

I am boycotting you now Maxi.
I find another buddy in Baby now, she doesn't wrestle with me over spots.

BATH TIME AND ANGEL

Bath time.

We dont like it but we had to have it.

The first few times was a nightmare. 

I scratched mummy till the gloves were in shreds :(

My buddy below, Maxi...well, he pooped in the water for the first time.

Over the months. It improved...a lot..much to the relief of our human family.

Here's Maxi enjoying his bath. He doesn't even move or struggle much, just sitting pretty in the tub.

Maxi after bath time. Okay, maybe he was a bit grumpy but no struggle :)

 Baby being the newest member had a tougher time in the tub.
Not happy too but she'll get used to it.

Here's me watching telly with Miss Em. We are great buddies as we are all here because she loves us cats the most. The rest of the family are cat-lover-converts now. Mummy said I am putting on weight well and looking very much like my buddy, Maxi.  Maybe but I am prettier :)

Everyone had a bath, except Angel.
She came back from the Vet after spending 3 days there.
She has been spayed and recovering really well.
Her wound is clean and dry but she protested for wearing the COLLAR.
However, she is a really, really good girl for coping so well.

Here she is lazing under the rays of sunshine.
Life at home is back to normal now.
Angel is no longer 'on heat' and driving us cats and human bonkers with her non-stop wailing.
She no longer dash out of the door at the first opportunity.
She no longer jump on every counter looking for an opened window.
She no longer pees everywhere at home.
She no longer raise her butt in an unlady like manner.
She no longer runs away from home. She did that 2 times before.
So, finally, we are all happy.

No sun-lounging for me.
Us Persians like to sleep a lot and anywhere cool is fine.
Here's a favourite spot at Mum's room downstairs.
Maxi and I love it because on hot afternoons, the air condition is on :)

Bye for now :)
Princess

STAYING OUT

Yesterday was a public holiday.
We love holidays at it means the human family are at home.
Also mean we get to be outdoors more. Fresh air and lots of birds watching.
It was a perfect day. It rained and the air was cooling.

Maxi was not happy with the previous post.
He protested.
'why didn't Mummy clean my eyes before posting the photo?'
So, here he is...after cleaned eyes and fur combed.

 Maxi.

Maxi:, Mr Squishy nose, close up :)

10 minutes later and he is sleeping...it was raining, lovely cool weather!

Princess: Where are the birds?

Oh! there they are..come nearer..birdie :)

Raining days are perfect for sleeping outdoors. We are missing one cat, Angel. She has gone for an ops at the vet. 

Bye for now :)
