Haha ! Finally got moi ass moving to blog about the latest addition to moi family . :D (Heh Heh ! Here U go , Lawrence . :p)

Time really flies I tell ya . Rescued da baby in October 2007 and itz like January 2008 already . Hope she enjoys many many many more happy & healthy years wif us . Same goes for the other 4 . Erm , ya , I got 5 babies in all . :D Those at HOME tat is . Feeding about 10 community cats daily as well . Hope the numbers stop there . Really have no more energy and heart space for additional worries and heartache , shud anymore come along . :( Sorry to say . But itz really mind-challenging & heart-breaking , U know ? To wonder if U'll get to see them running to U during feeding times . Or tat they've been abused , killed or rounded up by the blardy authorities overnight due to unfeeling , zero-tolerence humans . Bah ! Shouldn't call them humans ! They're not fit to be termed humans . Beasts is also too good a name for them ! Imbeciles maybe ? Haha ! Anywayzzz ...

Introducing ...

Pretty Genie !! :D If U guys & gals remember a post I made some time back , about my community cats ? Genie used to be 1 . Together wif Silver ? Heh ! Both of them are now mine !! All mine !! :D Safe at home wif me and moi family . Enjoying the safe shelter and lotsa love from us . Really wish to take in ALL my community cats as well , but aye , space constraints . Like wad da Mum says , dun let us strike 4D some day ah . Sure will upgrade to a bigger place and take in ALL of them . Heh ! *prays hard* :D

Then : An unhappy kitten . Wondering herself whether she'll survive each passing day . :'( Tis pic was taken by H when she was at her place some 2 years back ? Recovering post sterilisation .

Then : 16th October 2007 - Dad found the poor gal at the foot of a neighbouring block , bleeding & barely alive . Likely thrown or pushed from the block (as she likes to go up) , judging from the injuries she suffered . Or abused by some f*cking bloke . She suffered serious head injuries (1 of her pupils was dilated) and the vet gave her a 50-50 chance of survival . Was prepared to lose her and even wanted to put her down , as she was really in pain and moaning in discomfort , but Mum insisted on giving her a chance . She also had a broken tooth , bruised tongue , strained ligament to 1 of her front paws , a wound on her butt & bleeding from her mouth and rear .

Then : Spent almost a week in hospital under drip & observation . There was really nothing much the vet could have done , really , but to juz observe and hope for the best . The darling had quite some visitors during her stay . From H , my family & even some kind residents from our neighbourhood , who knew and loved her . Lotsa others also asked about her well-being , after knowing about her ordeal through some posters we put up , seeking witnesses . She was a likable community cat lah , and I really can't imagine any piece of shit who would wanna harm her . And I really wanna thank all kind donors (many okay !!) who generously took care of her hospitalisation bills . There are still some kind people out there who have earned some good karma wif their kindness and love for all sentient beings . :)

Now : To cut the long story short . Genie has since recovered , not fully though , due to the permanent damage from her brain injury . She still walks wif a slight limp and loses her balance at times and always flops to her right side , but is wayyyy better than when she was DIL (dangerously ill list . Wad ??? I'm a medical staff mah . Stop sniggering lah , Sammy ! I saw tat ! :D) And acoording to H & her daughter A , the baby looks much happier and contented now . But sometimes I catch her gazing out of the windows wistfully . Muz be missing her grass smelling and bird stalking days . I'm sorry my dear , those days are over . Itz too harsh a world out there . And I tink she knows better . 'Coz now she is able to purr , someting she has never done before when she was a community cat . The funny gal is also becoming cheeky (NOT chee-ko-pek way lah , I meant like naughty & teasy ?) these days . Can go and disturb the others some more . And she is very attached to Dad . The best ting is Dad , who is not a cat person , has a soft spot for her oso ! Ha ! They can actually doze off in front of the TV together . Quite a funny sight . :D

Anyhows ...
