My Precious All

my baby Mimi is currently in the hospital. T.T

i have no class today (every friday), so i bring Mimi for castration.
i know it sounds weird. explanation here, Mimi is a Male cat. yeaaa.. he has to be castrated because there is many female cats around my house.
and to prevent more stray cats straying around, the best way is to castrate or spay them.
it's good for their health in a way.
the list of Benefits of Neutering/ Castrating Dogs and Cats:

1. Decrease Aggression
One of the most important behavioral advantages of castration is that as adults, these dogs will tend to be less aggressive both toward other male dogs and also people. The androgen (male) hormones, of which testosterone is the most important, are responsible for the development of many behavioral patterns. When young puppies are sexually mounting their 7 and 8-week old litter mates this is because of androgen surges in their bodies. The same is true with aggressive behavior. Some medications that have androgenic hormonal activity often cause increased aggression (an example would be the birth control medication, Cheque Drops, which contains one of these androgen-type chemicals). The degree castration has on suppressing aggression varies between animals and the age at which it is done. Its effect is greatest if it is done before one year of age.

2. Decrease Roaming
A second behavioral advantage of neutering is that these dogs will not 'roam' when they sense a female in heat. Male dogs can sense females in heat through pheromones. These are airborne chemical attractants that are liberated from the female when she is cycling. They travel through the air for great distances. We grew up on a farm where the next closest house was over a mile away, but when one of our female dogs was in heat, the males would come for miles from upwind, downwind, and crosswind. Pheromones are, to say the least, very effective stimuli. In the seventies, it was briefly popular to do vasectomies on dogs thinking that we would not be taking the 'joy of sex' away from our canine counterparts. The problem with this reasoning was that many of us keep our dogs restricted in our homes, a kennel, or on a chain. Now think of the psychological stress the vasectomized male is under when he is locked up, but yet smells that female in heat four blocks away. There is no joy of sex, as he is trapped on your property unable to go and mate with her. He is, in effect, teased continuously for three to fourteen days while the female is in estrus and he is unable to mate with her. If dogs are neutered at an early age, they will not sense or respond to pheromones, and would certainly be less stressed and tend to stay home.

3. Increase Concentration
A third behavioral advantage occurs when you are training or working your dog, or using him for field work. If neutered, he will be a much better student with a much longer attention span when there are females nearby that are in heat. This is because he will not be constantly distracted by pheromonal stimuli.

all these advantages applys on CATS and DOGS =)

since i'm bringing Mimi to the vet, i brought Fifi with me too.
she has to go for her yearly vaccination already. and sorry for the delay, suppose to go begining of the year, but too busy and always forgotten.

here is some picture to share with you people here, that i find it quite interesting.

this is Mimi (the cat) and Bobbie (the dog).
sometimes they will just sit together doing nothing...
Mimi, is not a pure cat.

Mimi physically look like a cat, but he behave like a dog. because when Mimi is just a kitten, he can only get along with the dogs... and whenever the dog run, he will run together with them, and attempt to bark. (but it sounds like MEOWWWW~~~)

i'm not creating story to make it sound interesting, but infact Mimi really behaves in that way

Mimi, leaning on the staircase. soooo cutieeee~
and this is Fifi and Bobbie. inside the car.
they like to makan angin laaaaaa~ always jump into the car. but they really enjoy! =)
and finally, this is CheeCool. i know it's weird to be named in that way.
u can spell it as CheeCool, or ChiKut, or KutKut, or whatever... hahaha..
CheeCool is a male cat. and oh yaaa... after castrated them, they will put on weight.

this is how it looks like before and after... hahaha.. Mimi before castration look so skinny, and castrated Cheecool, the size will be like that

Bobbie is the one that suppose to wear the superman shirt, but due to his over sized, cant fit it, therefore CheeCool wears it. just nice! A DOG SIZE SHIRT end up CheeCool is wearing

super faaaaaaaaaaaat....
i think he will need to borrow Fifi or Bobbie's tongue. hahaha...

another pic of CheeCool. can u spot Mimi? he is on the left... so petite. and see how huge is this CheeCool.. SOOO CUTE...! LIKE A TEDDY BEAR... Muacks!

and this is the most valueable picture ever~! all of them together. cute right? they live harmonily... haha..

love them all <3<3<3
