Sick cats and their meds

Last 2 weeks, Kimmy third eyelid showing up, and I know this means that she is sick. Sent her to the vet, the vet says that she might caught some virus or bug; some kind of flu, doc says she didnt have any temperature, so that's good. He gave her antibiotic, eyedrop medicines, multi-vitamin and antihistamine.

I'm purrfectly fine except that i'm a bit more lazier than usual ~ meow ~
third eyelid easily seen in this picture :( 

no worry me purlease, i wanna catnap ~ meow~

Kimmy always has been the easy cat to feed her meds, she finish up her antibiotic without much fight. But her third eyelid still showing up a bit till now, apart from that she was better-she was up and running around the house again, when she was still under medication she sleep more than usual.

I suspect that she have Haw's Syndrome, a common ailment for cats, just like flu to a human being. From what i read, it could go-away by it's own after 8-10 days time.

Done with Kimmy, my Shemon show a bit lack of appetite, found out that she have bad teeth issue, most of her front teeth is missing ! I wonder how long has she been suffering now that almost all the front teeth are gone.

Urgh.

Kimmy enjoy rides in the car, so it is super easy for us to go to the vet with her, unlike Shemon, she get all stressed out with car-ride, was shivering during the whole time in the car. Poor baby.

Doctor says Shemon have a very bad gingivitis infection (!!), apparently not uncommon for Siamese cats, and the thing with Shemon, she loves eating human food, which is bad for her. Particular bread, anytype of bread, bun, anything with flour and yeast in it (eye-rolls).
Shemon was given anti-inflammatory, antibiotic(10days!) for dental infection and some sort of gel for the gums. She's okay with the pill, even sprint out the door when we wanted to give her 2nd dose of antibiotic and make us chase her, so much energy!. (2 pill per dose!) But she aint happy with the GEL at all. Freak out when I have to administer the Gel on her gums.

Heterochromia cat

My family, myself in particular, have the opportunity to love and care for a heterochromia cat. According to the wiki, heterochromia usually happens to white kitty. Well guess what, the kitty that I have are WHITE. Super white. An albino cat. I guess, ain't sure.

How to we get her?
I was working on the day my mom get her, a group of young girls came to our house, asking my mom if she is willing to take care of the kitty. These kids knew that we LOVE cats and have weak spot on kitties >.<
The kids says the kitty's name is Mia, but as time goes I rename her as Shiro White.


My mom Whatsapp me her picture while I'm at work, and I instantly fell in love with her, here is her first picture (11 October 2012!) ;

Aww

The girls beg and coax my  mom to take her in, saying that their family won't allow any more cats. So my mom take her in, planning to foster her temporary  and give her away. lol . Foster her we did, give her away, we did not.

We even bottle fed her, since she was very so young to eat solid food only !

Now that she's 1 year + years old and weaned , still suckling on our fingers ><

 How can you give her away with that ? 

Answer: you just can't

She's a big girl now :')

One thing about having a special cat like Shiro, she always attract attentions by passerby, some would stop by and take pictures cause of the eyes. My shiro loves her daily outing, but her daily outing can be harmful for her, cats with white fur always get sunburn around their ears and nose, the area that is not covered by fur. 

Clouded Leopard found dead :'(

This happen on 24th March 2014.

A Clouded Leopard found dead, believed to be a road kill, hit by a vehicle in Tawau.

Full news can be read here: Clouded leopard found dead in Tawau


I'm saddened by this incident, I love all type of cats, big/small/wild or domestic. Clouded Leopard is consider as endangered species.

Why did the clouded leopard spotted around the town area?
Why didn't the driver did not see the Clouded Leopard when he/she drives?

We should stop invade the wildlife habitat, have we not done enough damage to the Wildlife population?

I always think that big cats are sort of majestic creature like Unicorn, Griffin or Dragons. Aren't we lucky that we have these beautiful creature living in the same realm with us?
Human Being are darn stupid and selfish to push their existence into extinction.

MH370 flight

Earlier Malaysia Government held a conference to announce that they believe the MH370 flight ended in the Southern Indian Ocean.This is such a heartbreaking news.

By the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak
With deep regret, I have been informed that MH370 ended in the Southern Indian Ocean. A press conference will be held tomorrow with further details.

At the earliest opportunity, we shared this info out of commitment to openness and respect to the families.

Malaysia Airlines have already spoken to the families of the passengers and crew to inform them of this development.

For them, the past few weeks have been heartbreaking. I know this news must be harder still. I urge the media to respect their privacy and allow them the space they need at this very difficult time

The missing flight of MH370 which disappear in midst of mid-air on 8th March. The flight took off at midnight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing International Airport but never reach it's destination.

Pilot are reported to have18, 365 hours of flying experience while co-pilot 2,763 flying hours.
There is no distress communication received from MH370 on the day it went missing. So many speculation around the web was made during the search of MH370. In LowYat forum, they even have dedication subforum for MH370.

Most passenger were Chinese citizen(from china), group of artist and their families. 38 Malaysian passenger and 13 other passenger from various country.There are 227 passenger and 12 staff on board.

Each and everyone of them is a person, they are loved, they are remembered and will be missed. It must be devastating to receive such news on your love one. I hope the family and friends of the passenger/crew will stay strong over this tragedy.

The search and rescue effort includes various countries. They join forces under one purpose. To search and rescue MH370.

I know that they have come up with speculation that there is no survivor on the flight but I do hope some miracle will happen.

For the family and friends of the MH370; Stay strong, have faith and don't lose hope.

Tutle carcasses found in Sabah?!

Heard this news from my sister and mom.

Quote from The Star :

KOTA KINABALU: An academic studying the economic behaviour of Sabah’s northern communities stumbled upon 60 decomposing turtle carcasses on a remote island.Universiti Malaysia Sabah’s Dr James Alin, an economist, said he was carrying out research at Pulau Tiga – an island under the proposed Tun Mustapha marine park in Northern Sabah when he smelt a stench.“The smell was so strong, and after looking around for the source, my guide and I discovered these carcasses last week,” he said.Dr Alin added that leftover flesh and discarded internal organs were decomposing in some of creatures while others were still intact with only some of their parts missing.“I also noticed that many of the carcasses scattered at the sites had their scutes (scale-like structures used for making jewellery) re­­moved,” he said.The lecturer said he was no turtle expert but suspected the carcasses belonged to the hawksbill sea turtle, green turtle, olive ridleys, and loggerhead species, among others.Dr Alin said there was also a hut-like structure as well as a fireplace near the area where they found the carcasses, believed to have been used by poachers.He said over his 10 years’ experience doing research on the islands here, he had heard about turtles and other marine life poaching, but had never seen evidence of such claims.“The islanders even told us about locals and foreigners poaching all the time, some for self-consumption and some to be sold,” he said, adding that they claimed that the authorities were informed about such incidences.“But these claims were never supported with proof, and the authorities would not investigate. That’s why these activities never stop,” he said.

isn't it sad  that we, human is already seize their home-right, pollute their water, invade their habitat and yet it is not enough, some of us still need to kill and abandon their remain them in such disrespectful and inhumane way.

Actually, I was not so surprise to hear, last year there's news where they found at least 14 dead pygmy elephant in a plantation area, suspected as poisoning. There are only one surviving baby Elephant on the pack, his name is Joe, or Baby Joe. There's a lot of video about his survival and rescuer in YouTube and Facebook.

Full news and picture here: 14 Pygmy Elephants Die Mysteriously in Borneo
More about Baby Joe story here. 

We need more people who cares about them, the ones that could not fend for themselves, speak for themselves for our future.

Thank you for Borneo wildlife team!
Thank you Augustin David for fostering Baby Joe!
Thank you for all of those that still care and fighting for the survival of all the WildLife!
