an expensive cat???

What do you think when u see this cat?




















A friend of mine says this must be an expensive cat!

When i asked her 'why", she explained that this cat look so special (look at the face, the fur divided right at the centre into 2 colors, black & white) & the cat look so healthy.

At 1st i wanted to laugh, but then i think that what she said are true. I didn't buy this cat from somebody else. She came FOC but to raise her is quite cosy as compare to any domestic cats that not belongs to my family in Kota Marudu ;D

Don't mind about the background of the picture ;) I took this picture early in the morning during my last trip to Sabah (March 2008). while i was still sleping, this cat named "Sampapas" as usual came on the bed to wake me up. Why? Because that's what she usually do. The drawer was removed at the cupboard to accomodate Sampapas 2 new babies that time.

Sampapas was born at the same year i started practising as an advocate & solicitor in Kota Marudu. At cat's age, she is in her 40's while in human age, she is only 6 yrs old. But cat's lifespan is only up to 20 yrs if we really take care of them.

Beside Sampapas, i still have few more cats in KM & they are Budding (only a year younger than Sampapas & they are sisters), Shrek (Budding's grandson hehehe), Durong & Guning (Sampapas's a year old kids) and 2 more new kittens belong to Sampapas, i think only a month or 2 @ human age.

Why these cats are "expensive"? Because

1. they only eat selected cat food i.e. dry cat food from an animal clinic in KK (1 large bag - RM200), selected fish with special cooking i.e. no 'rebus' or 'kukus', must be 'fried fish' or BBQ fish mixed with very little rice.

2. Every week give them antibiotic ( you know how this kucing kampung usually do - too much activities outside the house) and special stuff to remove ball hairs etc. Others medicine also on standby stock basis at home.

3. These cats even have an expensive special tree house inside the house for them to play and an electric stream for their drinking water ...

4. Everytime i come home or when i'm away, if something 'wrong' with any of the cats like 'kagalon' - it happens sometime due to the small kutu living inside the cat's ear - must bring this cat to any klinik haiwan.

5. and....most of the cats have been spayed!!! Cat's spay in KK usually cost about $100 for female and $80 for male inclusive of 1 shot of antibiotic & dewormed.

6. Each of the cats got special 'gelang leher' to kill kutu2 & thicks

7. I even bring back 'cat toys" from North Americe for these cats as ole2 & their favorite is the fake hanging rat with bell.


My siblings always refer these cats as "kucing2 kesayangan ko...."


I miss my cats, can hardly wait to see them again sometime this year..hopefully...
