Kamu Goes to the Vet (Don't Worry! Nothing Serious!)

It's been super, super cold in New York this week. The temperature at night reached 15 degree F, which is about -9 degree C, but I had to take Kamu to the vet Tuesday night (Jan 22).  Tuesday morning I noticed that her right eye was half-closed. It seems that someone hit her. (Probably Shingen or Asha, since they are always mean to her.) I had to go to work but made an appointment with the vet for that evening. When I came home her eye looked much better, but I took her anyway. (But Boy, IT WAS COLD!!!)

The vet gave her a check up, and stained the eye to make sure that her cornea wasn't scratch. Thank goodness, her injury was just a scratch above the eye. The eye was a bit irritated, but fine. Nevertheless I was told to put in eye ointment for 3-5 days. Putting in eye ointment in a cat's eye is NOT EASY, but at least it's Kamu, and she is very gentle, unlike some of my other kids! (Like Shingen, I'm talking about you!)

LET ME OUT!!!!! Kamu is not Happy.

Captain Wu-Wei

Oh, you're such a hero, Captain Wu-Wei!  (NOT!!!! -- Unfortunately our dashing Captain is a bit of a chicken. He's shy, and hides whenever we have a visitor.)  Kamu is not very convincing as a maiden in distress, but she gets pick on sometime by Shingen & Asha, so needs some protection. Tempo is her champion. 

But Wu-Wei still is "Our Bestest Leader" of the Righteous Cats Brigade! Yeah!

January 9, 2013

Captain Wu-Wei  is a very sensitive type.

One day, as usual, Shingen & Asha was out on a date.

Someone was watching 

Captain, don't be sad. Asha just doesn't go for fluffy guys. It's not your fault that you're so fluffy.

 Dasein is happy that she's not fluffy

Socrates isn't fluffy, but he sheds (Because he's a pug.)

Kamu is worried that she may be semi-fluffy

 This is what Shanti thinks of fluffiness

 Promise thinks fluffiness is just fine

Happy New Year 2013 (Day 3)

So far Asha is not very impressed with the New Year. Ho, hum, everything's the same. The boys are not very bright, Kamu is positively retarded, and the dogs are beneath notice.

(Don't be that way, Asha. We know you're superior, so be a bit more generous! Not every cats, dogs, and human can be like you! And if you ask Dasein, she may object to you Weltanschauung.)

Tempo cleans Kamu's face as usual.

Shanti is wondering... something... 

Shingen is usually planning some mischief.

Buhi-Nyans Today (March 8, 2012)

Today was very warm for early March in New York. I think it was in mid-60s in the morning, and during the day maybe it was in the 70s. It's been a exceptionally mild winter this year. Probably that was a good think for us because from Nov. last year to now, we have been living in the basement floor, where it can get quite cold. 

I took these pictures this morning, and I thought that, for me with my lousy photographic skills, they turned out quite well. Since I can only  post one to the 365 Project, I thought I will post some of them here.

Asha

 Asha likes to survey the world from a higher vantage point. You often find her on top of the tall bookshelves. You can't tell in this picture, but she's looking down at me from the top of a bookcase.

Kamu

 I'm pleased that this picture of Kamu actually look like her. She's so hard to photograph because of her dilute colors, her pictures usually turns out very fuzzy.

Promise

 Another unusually clear shot, this one of Promise. Too bad he has something on his head...probably, a piece  of his breakfast.

Asha & Shanti

 These two are not friends, but this morning Asha was in a very friendly mood. Shanti is usually so sweet, and quite submissive to other dogs, but she's not too fond of the cats. I wish she would be nicer to the cats.

Kamu & Tempo

 This picture was taken just after Tempo was grooming Kamu. Tempo's allo-grooming must be what's keeping The Righteous Cats Brigade together.

Tempo

 Picture of Tempo in which you can actually see his eye color.

Shingen

Shingen, our trouble maker (not counting Dasein)
