It has been so long since I wrote anything in this blog. Today, I want to share with you my
own experience, with one of my beloved cat, Cheeky.
Some people call me insane. But
when it comes to a matter of life decision, people will do whatever it takes to
overcome it. It is not insanity, but I love her.
In the middle of
January 2012, Cheeky fell from Level
3 of my apartment. That evening when I came back from work, I saw her
at my balcony of my apartment. As usual, Cheeky and the other cats are so
excited to see me. When I climbed the stairs suddenly, I heard something and
when I turn around, I saw Cheeky at the ground floor of the stairs. I was so
shocked and afraid. Oh God! She fell from the balcony!!
I took her up to
the house first with my hands (full of bags & etc). That evening, I wrapped
her with a blanket and rushed her to the animal hospital. I felt Cheeky was
shaking all the time and all the way in the journey to the hospital. She looked
as if she was so dumbfounded. Cheeky is usually an active cat however this was totally the opposite. I became
so frighten and without even realizing, tears were coming out from my eyes. I
don’t know what she is feeling at that
moment. Cheeky kept on looking at me all the way to the hospital. But all I can
do at that moment was to send her to the animal hospital as fast as I can.
That night, after
reaching the hospital and briefing the doctor, he straight away conducted some minor examination, such as her
walking, her eyes, her tummy, and her temperature. That night, Cheeky was having a fever. She lost weight from
5.3kg to 4.2kg. She could barely walk. An X-Ray
test was to be carried out to the next
day soon after Cheeky is in stable condition.
When I called the
doctor, the X-ray showed that
her liver has been affected
due to the fall. There were no broken bones. One more thing that the doctor
highlighted to me was that Cheeky may be suffered from a shocked due to the
fall. It was my mistake because I let the sliding
door at the balcony open during the day as I go off to work. I don’t
want this to happen in the future. So from now on, I will close the sliding
door even though for a few minutes I go out.
I brought Cheeky
home after 5 days in the animal
hospital. There were 2 medicines
for her, one was antibiotic
and one was for her liver. Cheeky
next appointment was in two weeks time. It was very very very difficult situation
for me to gives Cheeky her medicines. Any pet owners will know the torture of
trying to give your pets meds. The doctor showed me how to give the medicine. Her
medicine comes in a tablet form. Unfortunately, my two hands were not strong enough
because of my condition at that moment. I grind the medicines and mix it with her wet
food. She was so smart because she smells the food first, and after that she doesn’t
want to eat it anymore. There goes the food and the medicines.
I then try mixing her food
and her medicines with 4Life Transfer
Factor. She smells the food but this time she
eats it. Yeah.. Finally Cheeky eats her food after 2 days at home because she
doesn’t want to eat anything. Even though she only eats less than half of the bowl,
but she eats it, and I am happy with it.
I didn’t bring
Cheeky to the animal hospital for the appointment since Cheeky was recovering
so fast. After 4 days at home, she started climbing my bed already, the chairs,
and the table. After a week, she back to her active mood again; where she likes
disturbing the other cats. She thinks she is human, that is why she is like
that.
Now, when I want
to chew my 4Life Transfer Factor Chewable,
Cheeky will interrupt me because she wants it. She will put her hands (her
paws) to my lips. So, I give one to her. Well guys, the other cats also
following Cheeky because they also want the 4Life Transfer Factor Chewable too. They smell it and they
like it. OMG, I always found the 4Life Transfer Factor’s bottle below the
table. I put the other bottle too but only the 4Life Transfer Factor Chewable bottle is below the table.
The cats are communicating to me by telling me that it is time to feed 4Life Transfer Factor. Below is the video of my other cat who loves 4Life Transfer Factor as much as Cheeky does.
I have to keep
the bottle inside the kitchen cabinet so that the bottles won’t go missing
again due to my furry friends! Well guys, guess what, when I come back from
work, the door of the kitchen cabinet was open and the bottle of 4Life Transfer Factor was
already on the floor! I know they have done it because no one else in my house
except the cats. Now, I will keep the 4Life
Transfer Factor bottle inside my room and never left it outside of my
room.
