Free Willy!

It was dinner time at 6.30pm. A bit later as I was out.

Everyone was here, including Heidi.

Vincent and Mr G too.

And that's only because Mr Zurik is not here. Otherwise, the patio isn't big enough for a Russian and a Stormtrooper!

Willy is eating too.

Time to let him go, I know.

I opened the door and applied the Happy Bum Soothing Gel onto his scrotum. He let me do it.

Good ol' Timmy didn't even finish his food. He has already gone into the house.

Willy didn't seem to be in a hurry to get out.

Yes, the door is open, Willy.

You are free to go.

He stretches first.

Poor thing, I could see how stiff he was. After 9 days of being confined in the cage, who wouldn't be?

He is still walking in an awkward gait. Still stretching his limbs.

I had to keep Vincent at bay.

Vincent listens.

Yes, Willy, run free now.

Oh, you want to stay under the table?

That's fine too.

In fact, I'm hoping Willy will be confident enough to find a spot in the garden and stay here as a patio cat. After all, he is orange, right?

Smelling the "roses", Willy?

What is life if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?

Willy spent sometime rubbing himself on the plants.

Ahh...back to nature again!

Ready, steady...

Yes!

Vincent and I watched from a distance.

We thought Willy would jump out of our compound already.

But he decided to stay.

Oh...yay!

After half an hour, I checked from inside the house, he was still there.

 After one hour...

I hope Willy will be brave enough to come into our porch (or better still, our patio) for food from now on.

Run free, Willy. You are free now! But stay safe, please, and don't be afraid of Mr Zurik anymore.

I'm going to miss taking care of Willy, actually. But I am so glad we addressed his diarrhoea problem and got him neutered.

Willy is home!!

Willy is home, folks!

Timmy sent us off earlier, and here he is, greeting us.

You got to love Timmy. He's such a great guy!

Rosie came too, and Daffodil watches from afar.

Willy is just waking up. Still groggy.

I left him alone because I know he's in a groggy state for now.

His friends keep vigil.

Suddenly, a fight broke out in the kitchen.

I rushed in to see Mr G antagonising Heidi on the stove.

Mr G jumps down and I shoo him away.

Heidi looks at me with the pitiful look, saying, "I've been attacked!"

I guess for Mr G, he is the original resident of this house and he is right. We (humans included) are the "pendatang". Not "haram", though, because we bought the house legally, but hey, tell that to a cat!

Who cares about that piece of paper that you hold. I was here first, says Mr G.

Willy finally wakes up.

I put some kibbles, just in case. But I know he won't be ready to eat yet. When he is, I will give him wetfood.

Updated note: The kibbles should not have been given as Willy wasn't fully awake yet. It can cause choking. My mistake. Apologies for this.

He sniffs at the food, but is still disoriented.

 The vet says everything went smoothly.

Phew...I am so glad.

Thank you very much for your kind prayers and wishes for Willy.

Starry is back home (and neutered)!

Surprisingly the vet was very free today (where is the Saturday crowd??) so before 3pm, the vet's assistant called to say I could already take Starry home.

We're going home now, Starry!

 Timmy was the first to greet Starry.

 



 

Daffodil and Rosie were also around. Ginger must have gone to his other house to hang out.

 Starry was hungry!!

 

 Timmy making the official announcement that his friend is back home.

 I asked for a V-notch but the vet flat-tipped it instead. Well, it's okay, especially since he is male.

 Timmy's was V-notched previously. The V-notch is more obvious and actually, quite "cool".

 Here's an extra treat for you, Starry, for being such a good boy.

 So, Starry's friends are now keeping him company.

The next cat to be caught would be Willy Orange, IF he comes around here. I think he may have found another home as I seldom see him around.
