Samseng tahi kucing (Cat’s Poop Gangster)

Samseng tahi kucing is one of the very popular phrases in refer to a thug that acting though and gangster but actually is a coward. I got one this kind of gangster living in my house. His name not other than the one I always quote, the awesome Mr Babu C’Oner or his real name is Kelabu C'Oner.

The sketch of a WANTED gangster

I found Babu when he was about a month old. He was screaming LOUDLY and was surrounded by Baby and the gang. Hes specialty is his soprano voice and a gullaton. His supprano voice is EXTREAMLY loud and beautiful that whenever he start to use it I will obey. When he said "I want to eat", I'll serve him real fast... and the second he said "I want to get out of this room", I'll open the room quickly. NOBODY can stand his soprano voice, it's so BEAUTIFUL and PIERCE!

About being gullaton, he dosen't chew instead just gulping and vacuuming his food. An example is cat's treats, when other chews happily a treat, he just gulping 6 treats. It's just so amazing that I wonder if he enjoying the meal that way? huhu..

There is one time when he missing for 8 days after tapped in a store. Thank God for his fluffy fat, he survive the whole week not eating nor drinking and amazingly trapped upside-down in a very small pit. Well, with his missing I discovered that he eats the most among my cats. When I saw the food not finished I miss the bulldozer very much. First I thought Babu is gone looking for partner as it is very usual for him to not at home and only return when times to eat. I got furious when it take 5 days, but at day 7 Alhamdulillah with instinct I just know he is in the store. I went to the store and try to summon Babu, suddenly a very-very-very-very smooth voice linger in my ears. It's like weather I'm imaging things or if it is real. The store is actually have open window so no one will assume a cat traped into it especially my boss, but still they allow and help me to check. Luckily he was in there trapped upside down in a very small and closed area. That why his pierce soprano voice doesn't heard clearly.

I sketch Babu the 4th day he went missing

The 7th day Babu was found in condition as in the picture. It was the last day of Bunga (the orange cat) & Babu was found on the same day. I am sad as well happy, it's all Alhamdulillah..

After his return, Shumaker & Helmet checking on him. Notice that the fat is still there and maybe enough for another few days. hehehe..

Monsta also checking on him while Babu ignoring them and continue to drink

Due to his upside-down position in a pit, he injured on top and rear head......

I felt pity at him, but the second thought I burst, hahahahaha..... =p

Even after facing the almost-death experience, he stills a samseng to wondering around in the neighborhood the next day after the incident. After recovering enough fat and muscle, he becomes more arrogant to bully his kind and softhearted bro, Mr Monsta. He and Monsta is same age and when they younger they were very good and love each other that once they slept, playing and eat together. However nowadays Babu become a gangster and always bully Monsta. Whenever he sees Monsta he growling with his soprano voice and after a while he spanks Monsta. Monsta never fight back, instead he just lowering his body sign to surrender and he just meowing back bagging for sympathy. The mighty Babu ignores it and meowing louder to show hi is strongest. However amazingly sometimes he is very kind towards Monsta that he licking (bathing) Monsta and they sleep together, but another second the licking become biting and Babu mad to Monsta. Huh, my Babu....Babu.....

Sometimes they can be very close...

Monsta is very kind, playfull, innocent and easy going, by contrast Babu is manly, play rough and selfish. All the kids prefer to Monsta. 

If they want to cushionate Babu, he keep working out wiggling around making the kids not comfortable.

The mark between the eyes was made by Babu....

....and this too

However as in the title above, Babu is just a cat's poop gangster, he only bully the weak and kind Monsta but actually very coward towards dogs and his mum, aunt Nebo. He is well behaved and not even dare to make a single noise in front of Nebo. Nebo is a very strict mum and will just spank anyone who not behave or threatening her kitten. Haha.

Usually he's back during eating hour or when it is raining

Sometimes he return with a black face...

...or an innocent face with mud

Anyway overall Babu is not a bad or mean cat. He still kind towards younger kitten and female cat. Maybe he is just pretending to be mean towards Monsta to tell others that he is the leader in the house. However at this moments the TAIKO of the house is aunt Nebo. hehehehe.. 

''Unconditionally, we all still LOVE 

Babu the cat's poop gangster!!'' =D 

**At the this moments I heard Babu with his soprano voice bullying Monsta. Huhuhuhu...

Cat's Urinary Problem

Intro

Cats urinary problem is related to dysfunction of cat's urinary system to work normally. Male cat have higher risk to urethral blockages because of their narrower urethra. 

Symptom 

• Difficulty in urinate and usually with small amount
• Bloody or cloudy urine
• Constant liking to urinary opening
• Strong odor of urine
• Vomiting
• Hardening of abdomen  
• The active cat that suddenly become passive

Causes

• Cat drink less water
• Stones and debris accumulation in the urethra
• Bacteria infection
• Injury or tumor in the urinary tract
• Stress
• Congenital abnormality
• Poor diet (Example: Commercial food with high salt and additive)

Vet treatment

• Antibiotic and medication
• Dietary changes
• Increase in water intake
• Urinary acidifiers
• Expelling of small stones through urethra
• Surgery to either remove bladder stones or tumor, or to correct congenital abnormality
• Urinary catheter or surgery to remove urethral blockage in male cats
• Fluid therapy

Natural prevention 

Giving your cat drink barley water periodically is one of prevention to this disease. Barley water is test-less thus cat can consume it normally compare to the bitterness of herb and pill. However addition of milk can increase cat's appetite to consume it.  It works to human too.

Barley as natural remedy

Feed choice

Consume dry commercial food and drink less water is one of the cause of this disease. If this is the cause, then indirectly its our fault. Dry food are usually choosen as its easy to handle and last longer. However if you give them dry food, make sure to provide your cat plenty of clean water to drink. In case of commercial food, dont just choose the cheapest but choose wisely based on the ingredients and quality. If your cat shows sickness after consume the brand, change to another brand. For better quality buy premium food from pet shop or the one recommended by vet. But to save cost, its much better if you prepare the cat food yourself such as mixed rice with fish and meat. It is cost saving, no additive, fresh and natural. However you must make sure to prepare it cleanly, well cooked and not too excessive. 

How to encourage cat to drink more

• Prepare few bowls of water especially the area the cats eating or their favorite area
• Use bigger size of bowl
• Do not put the water bowl near the litter box
• Fill full the bowl because cat doesn't like to drink from an almost empty bowl
• Everyday and when necessary clean the water bowl

My Own Experience

I have experience this problem several times. The symptom are cat's frequent and difficult urinate with small amount of urine, thick and cloudy urine. The vet prescribe me this pill to treat my cat. Quarter of pill twice daily before eat. I really recommend this pill as it really works to all my affected cats. For the second, third and forth case I didn't even go to vet where I keep this pill and give my symptomatic cat, and alhamdulillah with Allah willing they cured.

The cat should little bit at ease after one day consuming the tablet. Continue give the tablet until she fully recover. The longest time I gave my cat the tablet is five days where at day 4, I reduce the consumption to only quarter of pill a day.

I recommended this tablet as first aid for the symptomatic cat, but if no improvement after 2 days consuming it, bring your cat to vet immediately for further check up.  

The tablet is actually for human consumption, but still work for animals with regulated dose as mentioned above. Be careful and if you not confident, refer to your vet for advice. 

There are sickness but there also the cure for it. Allah create herbs that benefit to human/ animals health. Be grateful and try your best to keep your buddy pets healthy.  May the blessing and happiness continue with your buddy and family. Amin..

This medicine able to treat cat's urinary problem. It works on my cats. Try it! In Sha Allah [credit]

WARNING

This problem is not like diarrhea where you can wait till next day or two days for natural healing by changing diet. Delaying more time to vet will only cause your cat in pain to unable urinate and more accumulate urine which will cause severe effect. For the first aid, you may try the Himalaya Cystone tablet.

Aunt Nebo and Oranges

It happened three weeks ago. I was just back from work when I heard weird hissing sound from the kitchen. I went to investigate to find Monsta checking something under the refrigerator. Thought it maybe a snake, so I shoo Monsta away and peeping from far. Luckily it’s not a snake instead just three little kittens. Whoa! How come this little three entering my house? It’s impossible for them to climb up the kitchen window that I purposely let open for my adult cat easy excess to outdoor. It seems somebody put them into my house through the open window.

Since the beginning I already know who the person is, so I went to their house and inquiry them. Deep down I am angry, but since they are elder and my neighbor who I will meet everyday, I ask them politely and patiently. The husband admits to put the kitten into my house. I reply, asking why they didn't meet me personally to adopt the kittens, and the wife says sorry. I cool down hearing the word sorry and no more argument I ask them to give me the mother so I can spay it at vet. The husband helps me to put the mother into cage and later it reunites with her children. I don’t like what they do, but I think it is better rather than the person who kill or abuse animal. They must be very shock to see me daring to question them. I can be friendly and polite but I will not let anyone as pleased to intrude my house because that is obviously not a right thing.  

Three days later while walking in front of a store, I met another kitten which I know exactly is aunt Nebo's. I bring him back and the four siblings reunite. The mother I named as aunt Nebo which derived from the word neighbor. Her four little kittens all oranges I called The Orange Sibling which later I give name Tiger, Cheetah, Puma and Lion.

Aunt Nebo is actually also the mother to Babu and the B's (4 kittens). One year ago Babu was abandoned near my house, while few months ago it was the B's. They were abandoned and risked to be eaten by dogs. I adopt Babu at 8pm, but the B's it was already 12am when I searching for them at the backyard. Maybe the owner pity at me to do late night searching and thus he choose to directly put the kittens into my house through the window. It was very considerate of them but still it is not a right thing to do. 

Since aunt Nebo is very fertile to pregnant three times a year, I choose to spay her. When Babu and the B's were abandon, Im thinking to ask permission from the owner to do that. However it’s kind of weird plus Nebo is very wild and seldom to be seen. So its seem the incident has catalyzed me to help the cat. Alhamdulillah, I can see the family is very happy and I’m happy too.

Even the cats coming in that way, still I’m very happy to welcome the family. They are not a burden to me and I thought that just another unique way to meet my cats. I will live with them happily and gratefully. To my neighbor, I dont really mad but I have to speak in order for you to know that Im not very easy going and dont do that again.

Sharing is Caring (Quran Surah Az-Zumar)

Apabila manusia ditimpa kemudaratan (malapetaka), dia memohon kepada Kami, kemudian apabila Kami berikan nikmat kepadanya dari Kami, dia berkata: Hanya aku mendapat nikmat itu dengan ilmu pengetahuan. Bahkan ia adalah ujian (adakah dia bersyukur atau tidak), tetapi kebanyakan mereka tidak mengetahui.

(Quran 39:49)

Tidakkah mereka tahu bahawa, Allah melapangkan rezeki begi sesiapa yang dikendakinNya dan menyempitkannya (bagi sesiapa dikehendakiNya). Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu menjadi ayat-ayat (tanda) bagi kaum yang beriman. 

(Quran 39:52)

Tafsir ayat 52 diolah oleh Prof. Dr. H. Mahmud Yunus:

Allah SWT melapangkan rezeki bagi siapa yang dikehendakinya, iaitu orang-orang yang berusaha menurut sunnatullah dan menyempitkan rezeki bagi siapa ynag dikendakiNya iaitu ornag yang malas berusaha dan hanya menanti pemberian dan belas kasihan orang. Sebab itu salah sekali orang yang meminta murah rezeki dan lapang kehidupannya, sedangkan dia malas berusaha. 

What I learn and a reminder to myself:

When in difficulty, sad or hoping something, we always remember Allah. Example, repeatedly we pray 'Ya Allah, I really hope to get this job, I will work hard and may it will become ibadah for me to get halal income for my family'. After getting the job, we too busy of working hard and neglecting our ibadah especially solat. Continuously forgetting and neglecting ibadah, we become arrogant of the status and sometimes we think we get and deserved it because of our hard work and knowledge. Yes we should be proud the effort of working hard, but only by Allah's willing we achieved what we have today. So let us working hard to achieve our ambition, not arrogant in His earth, not jealous of someone else achievement and be grateful for what He gives us. Alhamdulillah..

Monsta, The Black Cat With Black History

The first half hour

Me: Meow....mewowwww. meowww..meonw... nmeowwww...Monsta~~, come here baby.. my dear poor monsta.. come here...

The aunty: Hehehehe... poor cat.. Let me help you with the ladder..


One hour letter, when my hand cannot reach him..

Me: Monsta!! You better come here and get down! Let see when I get you! I will pinch your ear and slap your butt! I will tie you and eat you!

The aunty: Hohohoho.. dont do that.. Poor him

Me: hahahaha aunty, Im just joking~ :p

Argh!!!!.. Another tiring day with Monsta!! Monsta my dear balck cat Monsta. They say it will be storm tonight, so I have to save Monsta from the rooftop before the heavy rain. Hes been on the roof for 3 days. I purposely not rescue him because I want him to learn how to get down himself. He is much older than his younger bro, plus he can get down previously. What will happen if Im not around? Learn and be strong Big Boy!

Monsta when I met him 

Monsta, I adopt him from my workplace. He was trapped on the roof top, maybe lost when he was hunting. He's hand and leg was injured back then and he was very weak. Maybe it was a black history for him that he traumatized to jump down from a high place. Even when he is grown enough, he cannot jump up to the table where even the much smaller cats can suppress him.

Then after almost 7 month, he become inquiry of what happen outside. Seeing Troy and Olen enjoying the freshness of air, the singing bird, their routine going and back from work outside, he also want to have the experience. So he decided to go outside himself and try his luck out there. It's not very fun outside, he cannot play with birds since they are up high in the sky, he is afraid because the dogs are beastly bigger, and the chickens, they are too protected towards their chick and peck whoever threatened them. With the beastly dog and chickens try to catch him, Monsta run up to the roof to save himself. Up there he don't know how to get down. That his outside world experience after a very long time as indoor cat.

The first time he spent two days  on the roof. On the first day, he jump down but back to the roof again when Baby (the neighbor dog) who is very loyal observing and watching him is ready to bark. Since he can get down himself, I expect him able to save himself. He continuously meowing and I persuade him with cat treats and food. Finally at 3 am in the morning he jump down again and finally save from Baby. The first experience have teach him allot, he didn't go outside until few month latter.

The second time he spend four days on the roof. Since he have experience it before and able to get down himself, I just wait for him. When it pass 4 days and he still up there, I get worried and then I borrow a ladder to save him. I really angry at him on why he cannot get down this time when he should be a bigger and braver cat. Baby and the gang also annoy me, why they have so much time to tease my cat! Shouldn't they work harder as watchdog at the neighborhood!

The third time Monsta spend 3 days 2 night on the roof. It is as in the dialog above. The aunt and a little bro help me to save him. They are very kind neighbor to concern about me and my cats. THANK YOU NEIGHBOR, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! I spent almost 3 hour to persuade Monsta to come closer to me so I can snap him to bring him down. I bring fish and cat treat but he didn't care. Then I try to bring on Babu Corner to persuade him that the food that I brought are delicious. Monsta fell for it and he get closer to eat. Unfortunately Babu just cannot be trusted that he ate all the food before Monsta coming! So choosing agent Babu in the mission is a failure! Next I'm using a more trusted candidate which is Monsta younger siblings (Shumaker, Konti, Poll and Helmet). I try them one by one and finally Monsta get closer to eat the food. By that I snapped Him and get him down quickly. Monsta finally saved and later its really rain at night.

Agent Babu who fail in the mission

Another team to save 

Monsta is same size with Babu, but lees self-confident

After few days, Monsta on the roof for the forth time, this time its only a day. "Haish, this budak itam, why didnt he learnt form experience! Serve yourself up there!" I blabbing angrily to myself. The next morning when I prepare food for the cats, he meowing for sympathy but I didn't care nor reply. However after one hour, I suddenly saw one black cat join eating with the other. Yeayyyyy its Monsta! Finally he is brave enough and become a real male! haha.. Alhamdulillah...

Alhamdulillah! I'm less worried now. Monsta has overcome his trauma and going to the roof is now become his routine. Now along with Babu, Troy and Olen, he enjoy the nature, the freshness of air and the chripping birds.  Even he experience it quite late from the other (after one year as indoor cat), I relief that at least he become braver, stronger and I belief he can save himself. So at least if one day I'm not around, I don't have to worry about him and his safety. My black boy is now braver! 

 Be strong black cat, I love u~~ =)
