The kittykats are moving. They found a new playpen they wanna explore. Pretty much, we're moving there too. But don't worry, we love our kitties so we're not gonna stress them out by moving 10000 miles away. It's just a cyber move! hah! lame!
So anyways, check out latest post at Bubumami or Bengkokkid.

So we thought 5 was enough. Sufficient and appropriate with our monthly budget. They do cost a lot especially in the beginning. You know the typical vaccin, deworming and frontline sprays plus initial start-up cost of litter boxes and litter sand, food, supplements and random stuff to pamper the babies. Honestly it was quite tight on my wallet but i call it love (to make things sound easier) so i just grab that wallet and fork out whatever i can.
Not like it got any better with the last 3 kittens we brought in had some severe flea and influenza issues. They had to be treated and cared for mainly to avoid the other 2 pariah breed from getting infected. So you see, it costs a lot. Like cost was ever an issue for us (it was actually), i was the one this time scouting around. This time for a mainecoon.
How do i explain this? I picture a dog like creature i would like to walk out in the park and well do dog stuff with me (nothing sexual you perv!). Only thing is, my religion and my fear of dogs stopped me from getting that man's best friend. So after that sunway shop visit, I thought hard about getting the giant cat. But i wanted one that i can witness its growth. So i was scouting around the net to find one. Ultimately i found one that i wanted to go see. So we made an appointment for a weekend trip up north.
Guess no more, the plan got cancelled because my gf made another appointment with a local breeder of coons. See he lived nearby our place so it was less hassle. So i said ok, let's go see his first and if we dont like it, we'll go see the previous one. After much talk over the phone with the breeder, we were set on a date, time and place. Kota Damansara Petronas - what a place to meet and show cats ey? I know so unhealthy.
We got there on time and a guy in a proton waja drove so face just park his car and i guessed right - it was him. I was like wondering, is he like going to take us to his breeding ground or just show pictures or something. Then we walked up to his car and there it was two big kittens in a carrier meowing away. He picked one up and said that this is his last boy and after this no more breeding for him. He called him eragon. He had no chestfur fest going like most coons. The breeder explained that it takes at least a year to deelop that and if put in cold weather, it'd grow even faster. Yeah so much for cold weather in malaysia or lets narrow it down a lil' - cold weather in kota damansara??
So i quickly thought like, shit need air-conditioned room, expensive, money aching to remain in wallet. I was determine at this point not to proceed with this ridiculous endeavour. My gf was happily holding the boy like it was already hers so i decided to give it a go. I held him and what did he do?? He sits gently in my arm licking my thumb!!! I fell in love right away and went to the petronas ATM and the boy was mine.
Here's the boy when we first got him:
Dont look much like a coon does he? Well he is if you look at his facial features and look at that ears! cant mistake that one. He was named Eragon by the breeder but we look at this gentle giant and decided that Philippe "Anerie" Connor suits him better. He's only 4 months old in this picture!!
We took him home after he recovered from his neuter surgery. Adapted so well withing hours to the rest. He's the most lovable of the bunch. Handsome too i might add. He is bigger now @ almost 6 months now and as demands a lot of attention. Still finds me as his cushion and lick my thumb everytime. My gf gets jealous but i say, he is my boy! hehehe.
So that was it, i wanted a coon and finally got one. We were done and finally settled to start packing. It was just weeks before we had to move. Usually we get packing quick but this time, we were lazy since we hired packers and movers, why waster money right? Heheh.
Remember baby Ojeh? The gift baby. Ojeh had been sick since its first frontline spray session until Ojeh had to be hospitalized. Every time we visit Ojeh, it showed no sign of improvements. So we took Ojeh home to nurse it ourself. Give Ojeh some touch of our love while treating it. So we went on a quest to find the best meds for Ojeh. That quest took us all the way to Kota Kemuning. We got lost a few times but we reached there with an excuse to look for meds. Instead when we got there, we forgot all about the meds and had our eyes set on Classic Blue Tabby American Shorthair.
It was ugly as hell!! So ugly you just want to push him away. But from the moment we walked in, he kept calling on to us like he knew more. I on the other hand interested in another huge baby. A 10 month old Norwegian Forest Cat: 
Big Brother Elmo my first and didnt quite lasted NFO. It took me a long time to decide on the fella. Took him home on the same day hehe. He was so big, he caused havoc a little in the house. He was much older and to enter a new environment with the baby clans didnt make him feel good. He was much afraid of them than the other way round. So we kept him upstairs in a separate room. He was the sweetest big ol thing. So gentle and loving but he couldn't fit in and he had skin issues that i found to be damaging to my personal health (asthma). We took him back the next day and it was the hardest thing ever, letting him go.
Wait a minute!! Dont forget fugly blue boy now. We took him home too since i got my coon, my gf wants her american boy. We took him despite his eye infection and smelly face. He's name is Austin. We enhance it a little leaving him with Austin Kiefur Jones:
Look at that "busuk" face and literally he is stinky. He has this habit of pushing his face into ours. He sits comfortably on our chests or belly of anywhere as long as he feels our touch. Despite his eye infection, he got a long well with the rest and made buddies with the boys. Always demanding extra attention, he the 7th we finally decided it was the last. Enough is enough. 7 is a handful and wallet crushing. Good thing that we're able to spread equal joy to them and they to use. Stay tuned!
Have a gay day!
(since this was actually written about a month ago, you may expect a newer one pretty soon. New pictures too!)

It has been a loooong time since i've updated. And for those wondering, we have not abandoned our lil' ones. They're growing in fact and just recently, 2 boys and 1 girl had to be neutered and spayed respectively. Being 3 of the most active, they're all hyper after day 2. Kudos to the vet who did a clean job.
Speaking of jobs, well mine has taken a big turn recently. i've been putting a lot of focus on new work tasks and so has my partner. We've both been so busy that we had no time to update this blog. So now that i became lazy to start off my monday morning, i shall update here. I think we left of at our first two furjoy so let me take you through our next experience.
*****************************************************************************
Now that the Ichiro and Mika have finally settled down (mostly on me), we thought it would be enough as far as pets are concerned. But little did i know of my gf's sneaky adverture online. She was searching high and low for two kinds of cat breed she had always wanted to get for herself. She then after a week or so told me that she had found a beautiful breed and practically begged me to take her go see the cat. After i had explained to her on countless occasions that we cant afford pets right now, as we were moving by end of APril, she agreed that we'd go for viewing pleasure. I was cautious with the whole idea but since we had nothing better to do over the weekend, we went.
It was in Sunway on a hot sunny day. My car and i nearly melted but we went inside anyways. They had a wide selection of kitties and mommies to select from. I was mesmerized truly. The all looked beautiful and well, furry cute. Its not that we're high and mighty but we have preference for shorthair breeds. SO we skipped the persians and went on to see the ones my gf had been talking about. Two little american shorthair brown and silver tabby. Their coat so clear and silky we just had to pick it up until the owner said they hold a "NO TOUCHING" policy. Afraid ofcourse of any virus we might've carried on our skins that may infect his kitties upon touching. Well to be honest, that killed the moment for me.
I believe in feelings. Go figure im a dyke. We need to feel, touch and embrace any other form of beings before we take them home. The price wasn't an issue. It was the longing and connection we needed to feel. A glass window wont give you that. I know i said, we cant afford a new pet right now or ever but after seeing them, I was comtemplating. However the owner's policy upset me. So i didnt want to be rude, i walked around seeing other breeds while thinking. Two cute little cream scottish fold (slowly developing the fold) looked at me through a glass window. Eyes so droopy, implying sadness and longing. Right there i was torn. Let's not even talk about how my gf was feeling at that time. If only i could touch him and understand was he was saying to me. It was far-fetched as far as i could see it. I walked ahead to glass showroom and saw lion like creature sleeping inside. He was so big i was sure, if i were to open the door, he'd jump on me and bite my head off.
The owner opened the door and i choked. He lift the big boy up and all he did was pur. Bloody mary jesus buddha! the big kitty giant was so adorable and loved to be cuddled. He weighs over 11kg and my God, i've never seen anything of that size. I learned later that he's a Maine Coon boy, only 3 years of age (if i can remember well). I feel secretly in love with that breed. But we continued pondering upon this ridiculous policy. Eventually we decided to walk out and check out this other place my gf had mentioned. I knew from the moment i stepped out of that place, i wasn't ever going back. Unless he changes his policy. I heard that he has yet to sell that american shorthair babies and its been like 4 months now. Perhaps its time to reconsider your policy and reduce your price.
So we moved on the very next day with appointment to meet another breeder in taman desa. We got there hoping to see another american shorthair however mixed. What we didnt know was that he bred bengals as well. It was the first thing we saw. Bengals of various coats. I didnt see the american shorthair he said he had. But we being first-timers and breed-clueless, just believed the breeder's every word when he introduced us to a grey tabby he said he had mixed with exotic. Frankly, she looked nothing like either. My gf was however interested in her. So I said we'll think about it and come back tomorrow with a decision. We didnt talk about it much but we did both express warm feelings about the bengal. She was gorgeous almost hot is cat language. The price was reasonable and the whole moving thing suddenly was forgotten.
The next day we went back there, pick one bengal, the mixed victim and for some reason i decided to add a gift cat for my nephew and sister, so we took little baby persian (mixed). This is how they looked like when we first took them home:
GULLEE SOPHIA KNIGHTLEY: the name just came as corny as it did. marble in other words "guli" and the rest just flow with it. She's the bengal that i was afraid to touch until a few days later. Her paws just seems bigger and she constantly look stunninly angry. She even sounds different. The next:
EVA ASHCROFT: she is the supposedly american cross exotic girl but she looks nothing like it. Later we found out that she's actually a british mixed exotic (do you see it?) After a while you'll see it and you'll never guess what built up her appetite :P. We love her with every bit of our hearts, for she is a victim of greedy breeder but never of unwanted love. And of, go figure with her european name. The gift cat:
WOK "OJEH" CHEH: this is the supposed persian cat. We didnt know its gender but later found out that its a he but now i think its a she again. anyways, we're not prejudice againsts gender.This tortoiseshell baby has been sick since we brought it home so we decided to nurse it instead and make it ours. It has now recovered from its severe skin disease and this baby truly is a gift for us.
So now at that point, we have 5 kittens, finding it extremely easy to adapt to each other. It took 24 hours for them to get acquainted and eat an entire bag of food in one week. I started feeling the ache in my wallet on the 25th hour. I then vowed (we both did) that 5 is enough to spread all over love and joy around. Till later!
Have a gay day!

Now that things have changed, we began to think more. We dwelled at the fact that we cant make babies in reality, we cant even be married in religioniality. So we had to move on picking stuff up along the way. We put excuses behind closed doors and faced our inner demons with style. We grew up, we matured, we earn a decent living and we're on a spending spree. Eat your heart out, we cant afford it.
Restrictions in life made us stronger and wealthier. So we consumed in a less loud manner. We bought a home and equipped it with necesities and luxuries. But still it felt so empty. So lonely for the two of us. Sure we had each other but something was missing...
Mmmkay that would be the emo crappy version of this story but it wasnt that pathetic. It so happened to be much much much simpler. One fine day, we were walking around some concept stores. We entered one and we walked around looking for nothing in particular. We viewed what was displayed in the windows and walked some more. Until, we reached the far end of the store. A dog stands on the right with a little boy hanging on to it. A few baskets and cages on the left and sign in front saying "Give a CAT or a DOG a HOME today!"
We turn to the left, checked out the cages and a few baskets. In one, sits two little kittens. One was white and curious. Made quite some noise, almost crying for fear of not knowing his surroundings. The the other, big-eyed, sad and drifted. If only she knew was going on. She sat so quietly that i could see her shiver. Those wary eyes caught me. Hmmm did i say this story was simple?
Well by actual fact it was simple. We saw the adoption sign and we decided instinctively on the white boy. So we walked around the store that happens to be a huge pet shop to get the necessary stuff for the kitten. While we were doing some shopping for food, litter box, sand, carrier and toys, I just said to my gf, "let's get them both".
She smiled and knew exactly what i was thinking. We bought everything times two and soon as we were done, we took the kitties home. Just one day and they adjusted very well. Here's the babies when we first took them home:
Named them Ichiro (white) and Mika (tabby). Just look at her eyes man!
Anywho, i've always said no to my gf in regards to keeping pets but that one day, we just did it. I just said ok, let's take them home and now they're at home. I might just die but at least i know i gave them a good home before i die. By them i mean my gf and her little ones.
Well that's how this chapter of our life began. I would go on to make it longer but its lunch time now and im starving. More to come. Just a thought to share, it aint hard to make a decision y'know, you can always blame it on impulse!
Have a gay day!

For the love of - An Intro
It has been a long time since i had blogged. Mainly because i lost interest in the whole game but gained affection in the heart side of things. Been about 2 years since i blogged religiously. So now im starting fresh here but i doubt my style had changed much. I dont know, you all decide.
Why am i starting new? <----------- this is my old style of writing.
1. I think im happier and more settled down now.So out with the dark stuff.
2. I feel like sharing stuff with strangers. Similar interest would be a bonus.
3. I just started a family and its big at once.
4. I cant think of anymore reasons now but i can assure you that this is about my life, my love, my family and my stories.
Early Warning: Do not bother with my english language, grammar gods go to bed and im not a professional writer so critics please take off your shoes before entering.
Now here is the Intro bit:-
My partner and I, well we're gay. In actual fact, people refer to our kinds as lesbians but i hate the term so gay be it. Anywho, I dont put labels on myself so well we're a couple but we've been denied the choice of marriage, kids and still a wide array of acceptance. Ofcourse we knew all the facts before we got into this. Life goes on and we're now happier than ever. Our families dont say much about us - greatest relief so apart from not being able to marry and have kids, we're pretty much happy.
But now, this is what made the difference between then and now:
Ichiro Hanzo Tikio
Phillipe "Anerie" Connor
Eva Garnetta Ashcroft
Gullee Sophia Knightley
Austin "Kiefur" Jones
Mika Atyllea Rai
Wicket "Awang" Wok Cheh
Doesnt make sense does it? Well just hang around for the stories im about to tell. They're our pride and joy but they costs a lot. Nonetheless, they're what we have for kids and for the love of kitties!! get them and i guarantee you, releases all your stress. At least it worked for us.
Till next time. Have a gay day!
