missing   May 31st 2009 at 8:41PM hi daphne1985, thanks for your comment, i agree with you about the colour, silverish sometimes bluish, beautiful colour, but that's not the reason i adopt her la kan, kesian, sad, may also very sad, but she cant afford to take care cause she's going away kan.. she seems to be like that in pictures maybe, but actually only god knows what she's going through, being pregnant and having to move, in pain.. hmm its really sad if you look into her eyes.. always rubbing her face on may's purple shirt, she sleep on that shirt as pillow.. she is very fierce, its not easy daphne1985, that's why i put her in cage, so that my cats dont disturb her, and she can rest peacefully.. i let one of the cage door open when i close the door, but she dont wanna come out.. so i close lah.. salute to may for being so concern about her.. im just trying to help may and crackers, cause i also love cats very much..

dont worry may, im taking care of her, she spend most of the time resting, she start to eat already, we bought wet food for her, to encourage eating more, kibbles dont look so tempting maybe.. she dont like being outside, always hiss and growl, i see her more calm and peaceful in cage, so i let her be.. she come down to eat a little bit, and go up again to smell your shirt, then lie on it, seriously.. when she sees me, she rub her face to the cage, i open cage door to touch her, scratch her chin and then she will lie down again.. anything i will inform you oke, take care..

ManekiNeko   May 31st 2009 at 9:06PM My best wishes to all 3 of you -- Missing, Crackers and May! What a stressful time, with Crackers being heavily pregnant and moving to a new home, May getting ready to leave the country, and Missing trying to make Crackers comfortable in a new place. I know it's difficult, but it's certainly better than leaving Crackers out on her own with no one at all to care for her. I'm cheering for each of you! :-)

white   May 31st 2009 at 11:22PM actually, you're doing very good, it took a long time for her to come close to me and let me pet her, but she came to you as soon as she was free from the cage. being in the cage, she doesn't fight to get out or anything? let her hear some noise from outside the cage and see you ppl walking past and get used to the scent, as part of her getting to used the place, what do you think? yea everyone, missing doing a great job, not everyone will/can have the courage to do what she does now for the kitties.

missing   Jun 1st 2009 at 1:32AM thanks may, im trying.. i guess she accept being in the cage, she doesn't fight to get out, she only make sweet noise when she wanna eat, she eat two bowl of the can food we gave just now, (3tablespoon x 2) she must be very hungry, but she dont want kibbles.. and she drink the water few times, im happy la that she is drinking.. previously i was worried she will be dehydrated.. i tried letting the door open to let her get used to some noise, but she dont like it when the door is open, she will not lie down, she will turn around and stand and look uncomfortable, when abang and adik walk pass the door, she will hiss and growl at them, she really cant stand to see abang and adik, she cant tolerate them at all, she gets very angry and nervous, breathing hard and fierce.. even when they just peek from far.. so better she be secluded for now, let her settle down first.. we see her every now and then, we can still hear her if the door is closed, so im not worried la, hope you are not worried too.. we come in the room many times to stroke her during the day, let her know we are here, make her feel comfortable having us around, but we wont bother her too much, i think she prefer peace and quiet to rest and sleep.. encouragement i accept, but dont compliment me too much la may, i get embarrassed.. hehe.. im trying and learning at the same time, im not doing that great of a job.. :) take care..

ManekiNeko   Jun 1st 2009 at 7:24AM Missing, have you already taken Crackers to the vet? If not, you might ask the vet to have a look into her mouth. Sometimes cats develop infections or abscesses on their gums, and it's painful for them to eat dry food. Just a thought...

missing   Jun 1st 2009 at 11:24AM i haven't take her to the vet yet, i want to, but it't hard cause she scratch anyone who tried to take her out of the cage.. thanks for sharing that with me, i will call the vet to ask about this..

missing   Jun 4th 2009 at 6:18PM she now is more aggressive than ever, cannot walk by the cage, she with scratch, must tie the door or she will open by herself.. abang and adik are terrified to walk about, they just play in my room.. pity her, must be restless, wanting to be free, but outdoor is dangerous.. :( here are new pictures of her in her cozy box..

bubushelter   Jun 5th 2009 at 12:35AM hi missing. getting to a new place is very stressful for cats. Pregnant cats will get aggressive especially when they wanna give birth.So Cracker who is the new pregnant cat suffers twice stress than usual. Cracker opens the door is because she feels insecure in there. Try to cover the cage with a large piece of cloth to make it dark, and most important, quiet and don't allow ur cat to come nearby Cracker. Pregnant female are protective, especially when there's male or other cats. Hissed and growl is a way of communication saying "go away". It's a warn to other cats to leave alone or i'll attack. Depends on cat itself, some cat takes a few minutes to get along with others, some take weeks, and some take months. Same goes to human. When she got to adapt the new environment, she'll be very nice to everyone. If you need to take her out from the cage eg: to vet, try introducing yourself by letting her to sniff your hand. Let her get your scent, then slowly try to pick her up. You can try pick her up by pinching the back neck (like mother carry its kitten).Since she's pregnant, she'll be so protective of her kittens that she won't let anyone to touch her tummy. Actually, cat's most vulnerable part is tummy. Only cats who trust a person shall it expose their tummy. She'll be ok when she give birth. Don't giveup on Cracker.. She's just having the stress of being pregnant and the new environment. Once she's settled down, she'll be all ok again..

white   Jun 5th 2009 at 11:41AM Is it ok to pick her up by the neck when she's heavy? It was like picking up a bucket of water for me when I tried to lift her up. :S I used to pet her head and lift her by her front legs, maybe that's why it was heavy for me.
