Haven’t posted Mikey’s pix for quite some time. I bought him a litter kwitter, which trains a cat to use a human toilet, a few months ago but I haven’t tried it yet.

Yeaah! I finally managed to get a shot of him standing because he does that only once in a blue moon!! — actually this pic is the combination of 2 parts — first part had the head missing while the other didn’t have the bottom part. So I combined them. Dar had to show him a piece of sardine fish. BTW exams are over and my last paper was a disaster. Really bad… I’m glad this semester is over. One more year to go!

There happened to be a cockroach in the kitchen when I was taking pix of my cat. He only plays with it … luckily no eating! But I still hate cockroaches.

ps: he’s fat but can still run and jump eh hahaha

I dress the chubby cat once a year. This is Mikey’s second Christmas (see last year’s video)! I didn’t buy a new costume this time as he only wears it for like less than 5 minutes haa. So it’s a waste to get a new costume. He so hates wearing these stuffs! Look at that grumpy cat! A cute but unhappy cat!

Christmas was spent at home. I think every year I spend my Christmas at home with my family and to me that’s how it should be spent… with the family and loved ones! Christmas eve was just between the boy and I — well, we didn’t do much. We bought some normal food, ate, watched TV (been watching the Travel & Living channel more often lately — I like their “Christmas Special”), played games on play station and slept way before the stroke of midnight!! Yeah can you believe!?! We were both oh so tired.

This morning (on Christmas day) my alarm rang at 7am. It was time for a morning workout. The boy also woke up and came with me to the stadium. I did my second 5km time trial run on track (my first was last week). This time I ran in 22:55, about 30 seconds of improvement hehe. My body still ached from Sunday’s weight training. Tomorrow’s just gonna be some light 1km interval.

And as we walked back home hand in hand we stopped for a while…

“I love you”
“I love you”

*grin*

Merry Christmas

*smile*

Once again the boy and I — and of course my fatty cat — wish you a Merry Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

This pic was taken after he’s smashed played with a cockroach and I managd to video it. Video soon.

[Edit] - Met sis, bro and in-laws this afternoon.

Some foods which are edible for humans, and even dogs, can pose hazards for cats because of their different metabolism. Some may cause only mild digestive upsets, whereas, others can cause severe illness, and even death. The following common food items should not be fed (intentionally or unintentionally) to cats. This list is, of course, incomplete because we can not possibly list everything your cat should not eat.

1. Alcoholic beverages - Can cause intoxication, coma, and death.
2. Baby food - Can contain onion powder, which can be toxic to cats. (Please see onion below.) Can also result in nutritional deficiencies, if fed in large amounts.
3. Bones from fish, poultry, or other meat sources - Can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system.
4. Canned tuna (for human consumption) - Large amounts can cause malnutrition, since it lacks proper levels of vitamins and minerals.
5. Chocolate, coffee, tea, and other caffeine - Contain caffeine, theobromine, or theophylline, which can be toxic and affect the heart and nervous system.
6. Citrus oil extracts - Can cause vomiting.
7. Dog food - If accidental ingestion, will not cause a problem; if fed repeatedly, may result in malnutrition and diseases affecting the heart.
8. Fat trimmings - Can cause pancreatitis.
9. Grapes and raisins - Contain an unknown toxin, which can damage the kidneys.
10. Human vitamin supplements containing iron - Can damage the lining of the digestive system and be toxic to the other organs including the liver and kidneys.
11. Large amounts of liver - Can cause Vitamin A toxicity, which affects muscles and bones.
12. Macadamia nuts - Contain an unknown toxin, which can affect the digestive and nervous systems and muscle.
13. Marijuana - Can depress the nervous system, cause vomiting, and changes in the heart rate.
14. Milk and other dairy products - Some adult cats and dogs do not have sufficient amounts of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the lactose in milk. This can result in diarrhea. Lactose-free milk products are available for cats.
