Occasional Dementia?

Winnie meows for her three basic needs -- hungry need food; finished my toilet duty so clean it; clean me and make me beautiful!

Winnie called, the dutiful slave doled out new wet food for her. She ate. She called again. Her slave thought Winnie wanted to be combed and gave a lengthy full-bodied comb.

The slave thought then duties were over and proceeded to sit down for a break.

But Winnie called (look at her sexy stance meowing demands).

Slave was perplexed at what Winnie needed and decided to finger tap her food filled stainless steel bowl. She ate!

It was then it dawned on our human that Winnie do have occasional dementia!

Clipped Claws

Being an indoor cat, Winnie regularly has her claws clipped to prevent ingrown claws.

Her slave got a sneaky way prior to claw clipping by placing Winnie on her human's knees; stroking under Winnie's chin, one or two claws will be quickly clipped. Her upturned stomach will be stroked next then another few claws clipped.

This is how Winnie looks after the claw clipping is finished.

Wonder what Winnie is thinking!

Clasped Paws

Our human walked in the MeowYard and found sleeping Winnie in a rather unusual manner.

With eyes slightly opened, her right front paw was firmly clasped over her left on top of her right hind leg.

Since she was resting in the shadows, flash had to be used and that caused the blue reflection in her eye. More photos could not be taken; Winnie woke up and moved.

Anger Stare turned Love!

It is the norm for our human to tiptoe in to the MeowYard to check on sleeping Winnie a few times daily.

Most times Winnie, being hard of hearing, sleeps on even during thunderstorms.

This time she woke up with a start. Luckily our human had the handphone in the pocket and managed to snap Winnie's angry stare of annoyance.

Upon realising it was only her hardworking slave, Winnie started the 'drool of love'!

Dry Bathing

She calls loud for her slave when she is hungry, needs cleaning and after toilet; slave has to drop whatever (with the exception when midway in the bathroom) to attend to Winnie's needs.

To help clean, our human use a damp cut-out cotton wool from a big roll to wipe clean Winnie's body and then comb to settle her fur. See the heavily stained with dirt cotton wool she is inspecting.

Winnie always drool towards the end of the session (see arrow) and had to be wiped off with a tissue.

My Personal Guide?

Our human loves going for morning walks regularly in the nearby nature reserve and is familiar with the routes.

Turning a corner, our human's heart skipped a beat as there was a silhouette of an unfamiliar still object at the side of the path and the cautious alertness kicked in. Our human had previous encounters with wild animals, insects, worms included.

Then that object moved...

...and kept staring at our human as if saying,'follow me'.

Our human followed, purposedly walked slower; it stopped and waited for our human to catch up.

It was the first time seeing such an animal in this place and wondered how it got here.

That animal was never seen again since then.

Sleep Silhouette

Weather was nice this afternoon with cloudy skies.

Winnie had her afternoon siesta and slept at her usual spot using her scratchboard as pillow.

Having a Ball Resting?

Winnie usually rests stretched out due to the warm atmosphere as we live just a little north of the equator. It is not often that Winnie sleeps like this. The heavy rain lowered the temperature a bit.

Not wanting to move, Winnie stared blankly at our human snapping her selfie.

Our human has been following Winnie's style...procrastinating often.

Procrastinating in Style?

Winnie was caught resting in style.

And our human followed suit procrastinating to start the new year without blogging for two weeks.

May the year 2023 bring you all good health, peace, joy, and happiness.
