Cat tails

No, it wasn't the cat food.  Floofy ate a little of the new stuff, but now she's lost her appetite again.  Since she's been having trouble pooping, I'll have to conclude that she's constipated again.  But I felt her tummy, and it wasn't as hard as the last time she was constipated.  I had to press deeper to find hardness, which was close to her butt hole.  A blockage is death to a cat.  Death, death, death.  Why does life have to be about death all the time?  How that be living?  The vet is the last resort, because the last time I was there, he told me that if the blockage didn't clear by itself, he would have to perform surgery.  The vet gave me something to be administered anally, but that hasn't been working.  Plus she growls and struggles when I stick that thing up her butt.  Who's going to hold the cat down while I doctor her?  I feel so helpless.  I bought some laxatives but it's for humans, so I been giving her mild doses.  The packaging says it's safe for infants, so I'm hoping it's safe for cats too.  Plus I've been force feeding her water.  She's been trying to poop it out, but no relief yet.  How long do I wait before taking her in for surgery?  I love her so much.

Erin, I feel you need to pour your heart out.  For God's sake, you live in the land of free speech, so don't allow yourself to be bullied into silence.  What's he going to do, have the secret police raid your home?  If it's about me, I would like to remind you all that without a ring, you have no obligation to me.  If you're worried about losing any sort of financial advantage I give you, it wasn't me who gave you the advantage: you must thank God for that.  Right now I can't afford to give my cat surgery, let alone finance a wife.  But I have no choice but to follow a spiritual path, and expect my reward only from Allah.  It's because of this music.  This..... music.  Of course I'm trying other directions to make money, but everything takes patience, and I can't do it at the expense of the music.  I know better.  What's practical for others is not practical for me.  Your leap of faith is how long do you put up with me.  Now that you know I am forced to wait for God, how long do you want to wait for God?  But if you want to talk to me in real time, the best way right now is to meet me in Second Life.  Post a screenshot of your avatar on your Instagram like the one I have of me below, then I will tell you when and where we meet.

I bought some tomatoes and a chicken while I was downtown.  I portioned out the chicken to be stored in my freezer.

The chicken liver had to be eaten quickly, so for lunch I had chicken liver and onions smothered with marinara sauce, on top of lettuce and tomatoes in a sandwich.  Tasted great.  No stomach problems whatsoever.

Cat tails

Wow Erin, you certainly eat like a queen.  And you ARE a queen.  You are my beautiful queen.  That green tea ice cream really looks good, but I don't like chocolate ice cream.  I've always guessed that you have a sensitive tummy, but it's looking like to me that we'll be spending long hours shopping for your food.  I have a sensitive tummy too, but it's a flexible sensitivity.  Huh?  Anyway, you had better keep the addresses of all those food manufacturers in your database.  Yes, even the frozen strawberries.  Call them up and talk to them, make friends with them.  We might have to import your food in the future, that's why.  And pray that I can afford it.

It's never a good idea to switch cat food all of a sudden.  Cats have very sensitive tummies.  I've been feeding my cats the same brand of cat food for years, in the green bag.  Suddenly they switched to a blue bag, or at least that's all that's available at the supermarket.  But the cats were able to stomach it no problem.  Except Floofy.  Floofy is so precious to me, I love her so much.  I figure last night she doesn't like the food I give her, even though the other cats have no problem with it.  Then I remembered that stale cat food makes her gag, the cat food bag has to be properly vacuum sealed.  But I just bought 10 kilos of cat food, and they were all loose!  What am I going to do?  And it's raining right now!  Floofy had been gagging up cat food lately, and this morning she had trouble pooping.  So I have to upgrade her cat food cold turkey.  I can't mix it with the old cat food, because she can't stomach that.  And I have to make sure the bag is firm.  Either that, or panic and take her to the vet.  I bought some other cat food during a break in the rain, which was more expensive than the usual stuff.  She hasn't asked for food yet, so we'll see what happens.  More to come.

Pina, how's China?

Here's some snapshots of my beloved Floofy which I took this afternoon.  She's feeling a bit under the weather, but she tried her best to pose.

Qur'an 20170402

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

108.  Say, "What has come to me by inspiration is that your God is One God.  Will you therefore bow to God's Will?"

109.  But if they turn back, say "I have proclaimed the Message to you all alike and in truth, but I know not whether that which you are promised is near or far."

110.  It is God who knows what is open in speech, and what you hide.

111.  I know not but that it may be a trial for you, and a grant of livelihood for a time.

112.  Say, "O my Lord!  Judge You in Truth!  Our Lord most Gracious is the One whose assistance should be sought against the blasphemies you utter!"

The Prophets  21:108-112

Cat tails

Floofy was meowing at me this evening, asking for cat food.  So I put some food in her bowl, and she ignored it.  Then she got under my feet and tripped me up, I stumbled and she hissed at me.  Humph.  Erin, have you no appetite?  Well, it's not necessary that you eat so much, so you might as well live off caviar and crackers.  It's not as if you have to dig up stumps over at your house inshaAllah like I did this morning.  I got my appetite back, so I had 3 cheeseburgers for lunch.  They were delicious alhamdulillah, but I used up the old ketchup in the cooler which gave me the runs.  Erin, please remind not to use up old ketchup.

Natty, are you back in school?  Now that you had a taste of big business, I'm sure you're keen to understand it and perhaps get some control over it.  No way!  It's out of control!  What you need to observe is the consumption of interest as being the cause of the depletion of natural resources.  That pertains deeply to us, and even if there is no us and only you, it still pertains to you.  You shouldn't worry about such things really, I will take care of you inshaAllah.  All you have to do is be beautiful, and you are beautiful.  Please try not to consume interest.

Erin, your Mateo has the almost the same markings as my Luca.

Commute

You know Erin, I've had problems with my cats stomping around on my desk and lying on my keyboard when I'm trying to work, and I've figured out a solution.  Which is to have flexible QWERTY layout in the outline of a cat, which you can lay on top of the cat and punch in your keystrokes, which your computer would register those keystrokes by wireless, or the the kinetic energy would transfer from one side of the cat to the other side and type the appropriate keys that way.  Great idea, huh?  Let's market it and make tons of money.

Poor Natty.  Are you back in school and have to commute regularly?  That would be very stressful, and I don't know how you would tolerate that, especially since you already have a job with great earning potential.  School is something that needs focus, so I suggest that you do it later.  But commute just sucks.  Commute is the low point of civilization, where the innocent kills the innocent.  But I guess we can't escape it.  I try to avoid commute myself (I'm even trying to grow my own food crops), but today I had to do a lot of commuting.  My house is on the street to the local elementary school, and that street can get busy, sometimes from morning to dusk.  I nearly hit a motorcycle with 2 small kids on it while pulling out of my driveway just now.  Gag.  I hate commute.

Pina, that's a very pretty photo.  You would have been wealthy and popular if you focused on Milan, but if you like it tough then NYC it is.  But be warned, a hard life can make people very ugly.

Here's a snapshot of a chicken breast slow cooked in butter on top of a bed of steamed rice, with my Mom's bamboo shoot sweet pickle.

Don't worry, Honey

Everything will be OK inshaAllah.  How's it going over there for you, my dearest?  It's raining here right now.  I hope you are feeling great and having a grand old time.  Don't forget, you are my Rock and Roll Queen.

Natty honey, are you feeling nervous? And you are having a nervous tummy?  Please make sure you drink lots of water.  I understand that big business can scare you, but don't worry Sweetie.  Learn to be who you are, my Rock and Roll Babe.  Ride the situation and enjoy it.  There's nothing like it.

Tourist attraction

Hello Darling.  As you know, I am building a tourist attraction here.  There happens to be two tourist attractions located on the border here: one on the south border, and one on the north border.  Down south, Malaysia is next to Singapore.  There is a locale there called Iskandar Malaysia, which is very highly developed with big, slick buildings, theme parks and big productions of entertainment presentations, and tries to capitalize on the attraction of Singapore.  Singapore has gambling as well as your typical urban destinations, so Iskandar Malaysia is basically a Singapore without the gambling.  The local patronage is of course the populations of Singapore and Malaysia.  MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH THEIR WORK AND REWARD THEM AS SUCH.

On the other hand up on the north border, there are no big productions: what you see is what you get, and it all utilizes resources already available.  The local patronage is the populations of Thailand and Malaysia.  Langkawi has long been a tourist trap with your stereotypical tropical beaches and the like.  South Thailand is the Wild Wild East, typically the town of Danok is a party town, for those who like to live their lives on the edge.  Just don't get caught with drugs, or it's the hangman's noose.  I provide a musical attraction on the 3rd corner of the triangle which has somehow become a global propaganda center for Islam, mashaAllah.  I suppose the connection to me is the fact that people have a habit of becoming religiously fanatical over music, but that's God's Business.  I'm just trying to follow orders, which is to stand my ground here.  You are my wife, inshaAllah.  You will live here with me and help me raise a family.
