It's very encouraging that the time
when we took Cookie Monster to the vet for his eye problem,
we bought the prescribed eye drop which the vet told us not to hold too much hope
that it would help at all,
but at least we were doing something about his eye condition.
Surprisingly, we could see significant effects.
His eye is not so cloudy anymore.
Good news as it is,
it is most likely just a temporary effect,
since the cloudy thing in his eye will form back
when he is no longer on the eye drop prescription.
I don't know if the eye drop can be used long-term though.
At least for now something was done about his eye.

thou shalt not incur my wrath
Proceeded for yet another of regular nail clipping session last night.
Peppee and Cookie Monster are less troublesome;
they always let me clip their nails while lying down on their side relaxedly.
I usually need Ougwee's help when clipping the nails of the two very troublesome cats.
Momo usually gets all panicky when Ougwee carries him for his nail clipping session,
as if a fire broke out right behind him.
Occasionally he attempts his Momo Super Propel kungfu skill and launchpads off Ougwee's arms as soon as he is able to
Apparently Miaomiao's wrath was directed at me last night.
Ougwee was carrying her,
I was bending trying to cut her nails
When out of the corner of my eye
I saw her paw preparing to lift up,
to whack the head in front of her.
The cat got caught red-pawed and put her paw back down.
After that she did the prepare to whack someone's head action again.
All these happened while she was making her my-mama-is-going-to murder-me heartwenching meows
After that she sat behind the television,
glaring in her one o' clock direction,
where I happened to be standing.
I don't know if she was glaring glaring at me,
but she looked like she was doing that
Pointed this out to Ougwee
and she called Miaomiao's name
to turn the cat's radar somewhere else.
After three seconds Miaomiao turned her head back to her one o' clock position and resumed her Miaomiao glare.

Baldy Cookie Monster
After about two months,
Cookie Monster's bald fur patches had finally disappeared,
cos the fur grew back and covered the holes.
Two days ago he got about 5 holes in his fur,
including one under his chin.
It would be good if he knows how to whack his gege
when he is being bullied like this.
Thing is, he seems to idolise Momo too much.

How the cats wake us up
Miaomiao
When she is in a good mood:
She would use her head to gently bump against the arm. Sometimes she forget she is supposed to wake the person up. So she slumps next to the sleeping person and falls asleep too.
When she is not in her best mood:
Quote: "NEOW NEOW! NEOW NEOW! ~~ ~~"
Pepper
Prance around the bed, giving his "Orwell!~" sound
which has a better effect of getting someone out of bed willingly.
His last last resort is to start digging around at the mattress,
which is often useful because we used to worry that he wanted to pee on the bed.
Momo
Position himself very nicely beside the sleeping head.
And.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
On occasions he finds a support (eg: railing) to stand very straightly on his 2 feet,
then AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I think he projects his voice better that way
If your half-opened eyes catch him walking towards your feet,
then you had better cover them with your blanket ASAP.
His next step is to bite the toe so that you will be jolted awake.
Cookie Monster
He usually keeps with the standard procedure of whining like a poor kid.
Quote: Aowww..... HMMPhhhh..
(I don't really know how to spell the sound, it just feels like a little kid whining to his mama)
Sometimes he suddenly feels that he had a deprived childhood
and starts pouncing on the sleeping person's legs.
So he sits beside the legs.
He counts mentally: "One, Two and Three!"
Then jumps and bites the thigh
"One, Two and Three!". Again.
"One, Two and Three!". Again.

Problem solved!
After 3 years of keeping the windows closed
and at the same time suffocating in our house,
all because The Miaomiao likes to climb out to the corridor
to roll in the dust whenever we are not looking....
We finally solved the problem,
with a mere S$2!!
We wasn't too keen on meshing up the whole window,
making our house look like a prison and all,
so we'd been closing the windows quite a lot.
One fine day Ougwee and I were looking around in Daiso,
then we were in the gardening section where they had a lot of nice little fences,
then we sort of got some inspiration.
Why not just cover a fraction of the window?
Would it work?
Anyway we didn't buy that fence thins in the end.
We bought a simple metal bar about 50 by 30cm,
and blocked just that section of the window
Miaomiao can only go out by that section we noticed,
due to some angle issue and probably she is getting plump
so she can't go some other way haha!

Happy 3rd Birthday Pepper!
The day when the box of kittens containing Pepper
(who farts into others' face when he sneezes)
came into the house.
So.
1. Stop going over to bully Cookie Monster just because Cookie Monster is a sore eye to him (and probably because Cookie Monster doesn't retaliate)
2. Refrain from putting his two front paws out straight (really straight, like two wooden sticks) to push against us when we carry him. Not that we are trying to get fresh with him or what right?
3. Look straight into the camera when we take a photo of him and not stare at one thousand other places. Apparently he seems to know that the THING is a camera, be it if we are holding an iPhone, a Samsung Galaxy S2 or a digital camera.
4.Stop fishing out dirty cotton buds from the bin. (I'm very proud to point out that Pepper has stopped doing this)
5. He should be less picky about where to eat. To make him eat we actually have to let him eat at places such as on the table, in the bedroom etc. He doesn't really like to eat near the others. Actually this is partly because of the fact that he doesn't smack Momo's face when Momo tries to take from his plate. He would just quietly walk away :(
