Paws Up for PAWS

-- Rue

Momma always tells me that I'm lucky I have a home now.  If I had stayed on the streets, I would have been starving, pregnant, and worse, dead.  She has a soft spot for stray and rescue kitties like me, so whenever there's an opportunity, she tries to help out.

When I won 3 months worth of supplies (P2,500 per month) in Bow & Wow's PETparazzi Contest, she was telling me that I should give something back to the cat society.  I didn't know what it means, until it hit me -- why not donate one month worth of supplies to my cat brothers and sisters in Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)?

And so one Saturday, we went to the PAWS shelter with a loot -- a bag of Nature's Variety Rabbit Meal (kibbles), 16 cans of Felidae (wet food), 3 big bottles of Zonrox and 2 big bags of Tide (for cleaning the cages) for them kitties!

Just checking if everything was ready on the night before going to PAWS

It felt oh-so-good to be able to help my fellows at the cattery!  They look fat and happy, with all that space and sunbeam, but I heard they still prefer to have their own family and forever home.  So if you still have a room for a kitty or two, please let them in your home!

My doppelganger -- orange kitties are all pweeeetty!

This kitteh suddenly jumped on to enjoy a few minutes of my grandma's warm lap!

Woot! Woot!

And yet again, I won in another contest.  Yipeeeee!  Thanks to Nestle Purina's Fancy Feast Picture Purrfect promo!  :) 

I don't know what my prize is yet.  Momma is not telling me until next week!  She's going to Nestle's office on Dec. 2 to pick it up and have dinner with the other winners.  Too bad pets are not allowed in their office :(

I can't wait to get my paw on my prize, whatever it is!  Momma said it's a surprise.  So I just have to be a good little kitteh until I get it.  Teehee.

Qish Update

-- Hooman Momma

Qish has been gobbling up his food since Tuesday, Thank God!  Thanks for your prayers, and thanks to his good vet, Dr. Riza Zunio of Vets in Practice, who never gave up on Qish no matter how grumpy and fierce he was.  It took over 20 minutes for her to get the needle under his skin for his sub Q and injections.  Qish is such a fighter, physically and mentally.

I seriously thought I would lose him within the week.  Seeing how thin he was (literally skin and bones) made my heart sink to the bottom.  I was already preparing myself for the worst; I would cry at night with the thought that it could be the last night he's spending with me.  But I guess cats really have nine lives; on Tuesday morning, he started sniffing his food, then had a big bite, and asked for more.  And more.  He's been eating really well, and I can't feel his bones now!  I am just so happy!

This is one of his favorite spots.  He could never fit all of his body parts in there, no matter how hard he tries.

Hmnnn...I found these at 2am, when Qish woke me up to ask for food.  I think I know whose prints they are.

That orange thing always moves around at night to check on things.  The sink, more often.

Prayer PAWer

-- Hooman Momma

It was a crazy weekend.  Qish started refusing to eat on Friday night (Nov. 12) and had been vomiting white foam since then until the whole of Saturday.  He had about 7 to 8 small puddles of white foam all over the house.  I brought him to Vets in Practice Animal Hospital and he was given sub-Q fluid, Ranitidine (antacid), Depo-Medrol (prednisone) and B-complex.  Dr. Riza Zunio talked to me about doing an ultrasound procedure after the medication to determine if there are any growths/tumors on his liver or intestines.  As of today, he has only eaten a few kibbles -- about five Orijen kibbles.  He's been skin and bones, getting smaller and smaller each day, and still refuses to eat.

Please offer a short prayer for Qish.  He's been my angel since 2007, and I don't want to lose him this soon.    He's only 3 years and 8 months old.  

I will never give up on him; let us pray that he does not give up on himself.  Thank you.

Will you be someone's mom & pop?

If you have an itty bitty space in your heart for an itty bitty kitteh, please welcome a new "baby" this Christmas!  Them kitties need mommas and poppas, too!

  

Good Meow-ning!

-- Hooman Momma


Here's what mornings are like with Qish:

Qish has always been the sweet one between the two.  While Rue is mischievously running around scattering all her toys and chewing on rugs, Qish would curl up next to me in bed, purring loudly while resting his head on any part of my body.  If I am too lazy to get up, he would start licking my face -- particularly my nose.

Here's what mornings are like with Rue:

I wake up each day with something poking my back when I turn.  It may be this toy mouse, a straw, a syringe (without the needle), or a plastic spoon.  As soon as Rue feels that I'm about to wake up, she brings her favorite toy of the day on my bed, and waits for me to open my eyes.  As soon as I do, she excitedly waits for me to throw her toy, runs after it, then brings it back for another round of fetch play.

My meow-nings are always great!  How are yours? :)
