Nowadays, whenever I get up early or I get up to go to the bathroom at night, Tabs, Riley and Juno will wait in the kitchen for an early breakfast!
An early breakfast of Cubgrub with shishamo topper!
Yesterday had been quite a mad day for me. I have been battling an annoying cough for a week now, seen the doctor three times to get new medicines. It must be the new “drowsy cough medicine, only to be taken at night” that backfired on me two days ago. Instead of making me sleep, I could not sleep a wink! So I had not slept in 48 hours by last night, which isn’t normal at all for a human being. And I still wasn’t sleepy but a bit zombified. Luckily I could finally sleep last night but I was up at 3.30am this morning.
In any case, being the mad day that it was yesterday and the boys were here, Juno had decided to go out to Bunny’s Place to join the Blondies. I let her stay out because she’s crazy about eating grass and she seemed to need the change of scenery. Also, Ryan is very good at opening the front door and he doesn’t know how to prevent the cats from sneaking out. Our cats can sneak out even when we adults open the front door, so what more, when Ryan opens it. So, keeping Juno in Bunny’s Place was a perfect solution.
So, Juno spent many hours out in Bunny’s Place and I was checking in on her. All was well. She didn’t eat grass all the time too. But this morning, I was greeted by loose stools in the bathroom, definitely by Juno because she has a specific poop-spot in the bathroom when she wants me to see her poop. It was a lump of poop. Uh-oh…here we go again. Juno has some gastro-intestinal weakness, I know. She reminds me of dearest Indy. Indy had quite a few drawn-out gastro-intestinal issues in his day, which no vet could accurately diagnosed. He definitely lived out his “nine lives”, our dear Indy. Such a resilient cat he was. I do miss him.
Anyway, let’s hope this doesn’t escalate for Juno. Otherwise, it would be another round on the merry-go-round, which I don’t look forward to. I’ve since given her Feline Gut Soothe and Vetri DMG. She does get Healthy Gut (probiotic) on a daily basis but I did not give it to her yesterday, being such a mad day.
Ever since the last severe coccidia infection which ended up with hospitalisation (bad diarrhoea and high fever), it had taken quite a long time for full recovery. But since she had recovered, Juno has been putting on healthy weight and doing well. Let’s hope this is just a one-off tummyache and not another severe infection…from eating grass or something in the garden. Everyone else is okay. All glorious poop.
Husband has already called our gardener to come today, to try and replant Heidi’s medicinal grass in Bunny’s Place for the Blondies and to introduce it to Juno. While it grows like a weed, it’s not that easy to replant it too. And it dies quite fast if urine is sprayed on it.
Of course I cannot get up in the middle of the night or early morning without alerting Gerald. He will do his nonstop mewing until I feed him. Nowadays, instead of feeding him two breakfasts, I put everything in one bowl. His one can of food and his raw gizzards and chicken breastmeat. Satu kali makan semua and please don’t disturb us with your mewing at such unearthly hours in the morning.
I’m still doing the buffet breakfast for the Blondies. That’s the leftovers from the kitchen for Samantha. Yes, about time you girls learn to help out with eating fresh leftovers too. Samantha sapu habis, I added more Cubgrub and she sapu-ed that too. Yay!
I know the ginger Blondies like canned food, especially Kai.
That’s one more to go – Akira. She’s the No.1 fusspot in eating now. Biarlah, tak mahu makan wet food, eat your kibble, but later.
Yesterday, I offered various raw food, various canned food, nobody touched a bite. So, never mind, eat your kibble.
But actually, I’m beginning to see the effect of relying on kibble on Akira now. She’s getting a paunch, which isn’t healthy. I should control her kibble intake. When on raw food, this doesn’t happen. It must be the carbs in the kibble even though the Blondies eat grainfree kibble (Cindy’s Naturelle Grainfree).
The boys making food for Juno.
Eat your “veggie salad”, Juno!
Juno simply loves playing with the boys. The bond is amazing.
