And then there were three…

Who would have thought that I’ll end up with 3 cats in my life. I never saw myself as a cat person. It was only when True and I welcomed Eri in our lives that I realized I could be fond cats.

Now the household has 2 new members, Hassee and Bounceen (inspired by the Neopets game).

Eri first hated them. They were noisy, they cry all the time. But after Eri was spayed, she might have thought that she gave birth to the 2 kittens. Both of them have been taken to the yearly pet blessing at Eastwood.

I have had a soft spot now for stray kittens that I fear I may end up adopting every unwanted kitten that I see.

They say that blessings come in ten folds. Mine came in three folds…they give me great joy whenever I see Eri look outside the window as I park the car in the garage, the noise of Hassee and Bouncee while waiting for us to enter the room (maybe because they’re hungry).

They joy they give us can never be replaced and I will forever be in debt for the feline species because they helped me more than they know.

Tri-CAT

HAHAHAHA!!!

We needed to buy supplies for Eri, cat food and litter. True suggested to just go to Cartimar. At the back of my mind while we were on our way, I thought to myself, since I already have the money and we are going to Cartimar, which is where Eri’s Vet is, I’ll let her have her vaccinations.

I parked right in front of the clinic. I announced to True and Eri that I will let her have her vaccinations. True instantly disagreed as she is not ready to see Eri get hurt again. I let her have her way for a few hours. After having lunch I was determined that Eri should get her shots. And True being the kind pet owner that she is, agreed.

Eri didn’t cry as much, but she has the reputation of being feisty. The vet’s assistant rememred that from our last visit, Eri’s claws were buried to his hand. Knowing this, he got himself a towel and the rest is history.

Our little baby will be going back after 3 weeks for another shot. I just want her to be safe from any animal virus out there.

CARA welfare Philippines – Adoption Booth

I am an official member of the CARA welfare Philippines. CARA stands for Compassion And Responsibility for Animals. I joined the organisation as a thank you for sending Eri (our kitten) into our lives.

I owe it Eri to support her kind. Most people don’t care much for local breeds of cats and dogs, specially cats who are more often the victims of road kill.

I was, one of those who didn’t like cats. Until I met Eri and she proved me wrong. Cats are easier to potty train.

This one is for our kitten Eri, I am now an official member of CARA. I just paid the lifetime membership fee of $11. You can pay this thru PayPal or pay P500. The membership will give you a discounted price for spay/neuter.

I hope the our little Eri will be part of our lives for a very long time…she should be, she has 9 lives

eRi Got Sick

Our kitten got sick last week. She threw up a couple of times and was not eating much. We were all sick. I guess we got more alarmed when it was her because she is a cat and is not able to tell us what was wrong.

True did not go to work, I withdrew our last money. All we were thinking is that she needs to see the vet.

Lucky for us we were able to find a good one. It was clinic in Cartimart that works with CARA (an organization for stray cats and dogs). The vet was really nice. She handled Eri well and gave her a shot. And the take home medicine was hard to give to Eri. We did not know that cats tend to salivate. It was a struggle to make Eri swallow the 0.01ml in her mouth. And her dose was 0.07ml/day.

It took about 5 days for Eri to feel better. She has better appetite now and weighs heavier.

We figured out, she also does not like Cookies n Cream flavored ice cream. Either that or she hates kitten food.

Petblessing at Eastwood City

My niece, Carisse told me that there was a pet blessing at Eastwood. This was because it of the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi. I decided to take eRi there. I thought it was a great idea to have your pet blessed. May be it will make her behave or something.

It took us hours before we can out on eRi’s shirt. We want her dressed fro her blessing. Not that we have an idea how it goes.

We just thought to have her blessed since we consider eRi a blessing in our lives.

There were just a few cats in the blessing and most of them were imported breeds. I think eRi enjoyed because she was showing off. Acting behaved not just because she was scared but because when other people want to take a picture of her she would be still. She even kissed a number of cats and a dog.

But the best part was when we made a promise to eRi to take care of her always. Some of the owners there would say that she was so blessed to have us and the priest told True that eRi was a blessing too.
