Goodbye Gal

Gal Gal (pron. Ger Ger) passed away yesterday morning, 11 March 2007, after the vet's attempts to save her failed.


Gal Gal (RIP 2007)

Bye bye Gal Gal, we will miss your sweet & graceful ways, and your unique high-pitched voice. You have been much loved, especially by Auntie A. Your buddy Baby (aka Kiddy) will miss you too.

Experiment Part II : Testing catnip sensitivity with live subjects

Since the last cat experiment failed to produce any discernible result of sensitivity to catnip, I tried again with different live subjects. *grin*

What I did was plucked a couple of fresh catnip leaves and tore them up slightly to release the scent. I left the catnip leaves for each cat to have a sniff, BEFORE showing them any cat food, so that they could concentrate on the catnip and not be distracted by the food. I gave them cat food only after I've done the catnip test.

Here's the result:


1st subject: Gal-Gal

See the catnip beside her - totally untouched leh...
Result : More interested in the cat food than catnip *auntie p scratches head*


2nd subject: Timmy aka Coco

Result : No interest in the catnip too !?!?


3rd subject: Jon-Jon

Result : Jon-Jon was more interested in the bag I was carrying than the catnip. Anyway, he has always been curious about my handbags (which reminds me of the purple Teletubby - Tinky Winky? )

Why, why, why??

(Sorry, no photo to show evidence because camera battery conked out!)

What is it with the community cats at my area? They all don't seem to be interested in catnip? Or is catnip a luxury meant for the housecats, and which community cats, being more concerned with bread-and-butter issues such as when the next meal is coming, simply have no time for?

Haiz... So till today, I have yet to see a cat happily engaged with catnip.

On a Saturday morning (Part 2)

Kiddy aka Baby



Found abandoned as a shy kitten, he's grown to become quite affectionate




Gal-Gal



A graceful & dignified cat who didn't accept any cat other than Kiddy



Fatty Blackie (to differentiate from another Blackie)




See the round protruding tummy (no, she's not pregnant as she's been spayed)
