This post is going to be about.....
KINGSLEY!! <3
So I am going to do a timeline about some happenings since this lil fella came into my life. I don't remember specifically the date or period, so I just agak-agak lah.
End of First Week :
When stroking him, I realize there were little black "insects" crawling on his neck. I noticed it more around his neck because the fur on his neck is white while the whole body is in a much darker colour. So after a few days, I suspected that it might be parasites. I knew it was not ticks because I have seen my dog infected by ticks before. Ticks are much bigger compared to this tiny black stuff crawling on him. So brought him to the very helpful pet shop around here. (Paw Prints, near KTAR in case any Kamparians might want to find a good pet shop) So they confirmed that he was infected by FLEAS. So to solve this problem, they adviced us to bathe him, and comb out the fleas one by one with a super fine comb. Samuel and I used 45 minutes altogether to get him all cleaned up and flea free (hopefully). He was screaming like mad because it was his first time bathing, and we had to slowly comb out the fleas, so he was wet and cold and miserable. He even peed and pooped in the pail we bathed him. Sure he damn stressed out. Poor little boy. :( But after that, I think he is free from fleas, but sometimes we still see one or two crawling around and that freaks me out. :/
Second Week ( since I took care of him ) :
I guessed because I had no idea about the little details of taking care of a baby kitten, I did not know that his milk will spoil in such a short time, ( I had friends telling me that cats will know when their food is spoilt and won't eat it ), so I accidentally fed him milk that has turn slightly sour. He still finished it, but by afternoon, he actually had diarrhea. The most touching part about this was when I saw him digging my floor, I agak that he might need to either pee or shit, so I put him in his box, where he does his business, and instead of jumping out like he always do, he queitly waited inside, until suddenly I saw him started to lao sai (diarrhea ). Then he messed up the whole box because he peed as well and all his paws terkena the pee and diarrhea mixture. Urghhhhhh. So I had to bathe him immediately even though I was supposed to study. But I guess it was worth it. After bathing and cleaning him up, he slept soundly throughout the whole afternoon.
All clean and sleeping peacefully. :')
End of second week :
This little baby grows up so much every single day! Even now as I am posting his photos from two weeks back, he looks so different! So there was this one day, when he acted like a hyper rascal, and he was meowing non stop for no specific reason. He scratched me all over my thighs and hands till all the scars were so horrible. And when I bathe, damn the pain!! Super pedih! Another thing was he kept diving into the dustbin that day and I felt so mad! He was acting like a total kopitiam cat which I seriously loathed! But the worst thing was right after I cleaned my room, vaccumed and mop my floor, this little rascal went to pee in the corner of my room where I stacked all my shoe boxes and household items! I was so frustrated because he was already so naughty, and I just cleaned my room, and I seriously felt damn upset at him! It made me question myself if I could even be capable of taking care of this little devil.You might think that I am a quitter, but when you have so much work on your hands already, and this lil fella still hurts you and acts like a total devil, I really really felt so pissed and stressed out. But by the time I went out dinner with Samuel and he asked if I wanted to give him away to another home, so I don't have to feel so stressed out and miserable about it, I suddenly felt protective and this thought jumped into my head, " When we were kids, and acted like little devils and were so so naughty, did our parents ever thought of giving us away?" And that thought follows me till today. :)
Third week :
We bought him a cat litter! this is a big deal for me because I decided to only invest in a cat litter ( it is not cheap! Costs about 30 plus ) when I am sure about taking care of him. And he is so so intelligent! He learned how to use his cat litter on that day itself! And before that he did not know how to cover his shit yet, but I think just yesterday he learned how to do it properly! It is such a proud moment to see him learn something new each time!
2 days ago :
He purred for the first time! At least it was the first time I noticed it... I was out the whole day in campus and when I came back I was so happy to see him, so I scooped him up and cuddle him.. Suddenly I heard a super super soft sound of "rrrrrrr" and I was so so happy that I teared! :') Because Cally told me, if a cat purrs when you sayang it, it means it is very contented and it loves you very much!! Yayyy Kingsley loves me! :') <3
Here are some more photos of him :
When he first learned to drink from his milk bottle :3
Beside his cat litter.
When he is in "hunter"/"predator" mode. He will stare at his target intensely, and then lounges! But it is so funny cause he is still so young so the distance he lounges is like just one or two step forward.
Okay thats all about Kingsley for now! Good night!
