Mite happen to any cat

Luckily work eased up a tad for me so I can focus on getting everything ready for "Cats Of The World" exhibition that's opening next week! *Gulp* This year, we have some great shots from the past year contributors as well as many new cat lovers that I've tracked down from Flickr. You'd be amazed at the quality out there! And I'm proud that more sponsors such as Canon and Fancy Feast have come onboard to make it a better show. I'm already thinking of doing a cat flea market (cat & flea, so funny!) in conjunction with the exhibition next year! Hmmmm... Plus the media coverage has been very encouraging and Elle even included me in a story in July issue about 'Inspiring Women Who Make A Difference'.

Talking about cats, Jarvis has been bugged down by a suspected bout of mites - little brown flecks that dot his fur from head to paws, so we finally brought him to the Animal Clinic and the vet confirmed it. Luckily all he needs is a dash of 'Revolution' applied once for the next three months (same goes for the 2 girls since they are probably carriers too). For the past couple of months, he looked listless and had been over-grooming himself. After the visit, he actually looked kinda relieved and went to lao sai in his litter pan after farting in F's car. He's such a puttycat; we love him to bits!

The vet said we should be happy that Jarvis and Ripley are still doing well at their age (around 15 & 17) as most cats are lucky if they make it past their 10th birthday. In terms of human age, they have both surpassed the 100th mark so they are centurion cats! To put his age in perspective, if Jarvis is a human, he's 15 and should be at secondary 3 now!
