Mikeside, it's Ed Lagman with the Sounds of Manila

       

 

Mitzy has been with us for at least more than 8 years now.  She's unpredictable, sweet, sometimes cranky but overall a very loving cat.  I would often see her lying on her back with her feet up pointing towards the ceiling, can you picture that?  They say when you see your cat in that position it is a sign that your cat is happy & content.  It's also amusing to see her often with her legs crossed.

Update: On February 13, 2013, we sadly bade goodbye to our dearest Mitzy. The past months prior to putting her to sleep had been so emotionally difficult. She didn't have much appetite, was eating less & became picky with what she wanted to eat. She had lost so much weight, from 15 pounds to 8 pounds.
Today, April 13, 2013, has been 2 months since we lost her. We miss you Mitzy !

Posted on June 10, 2013 - On June 3, 2013, we brought Miko to the vet. We somewhat had an inkling as to what to expect. Miko had been eating less & had lost weight. He was listless, mostly sleeping all day. Miko was getting old & must had been terribly depressed with Mitzy's passing. On Friday, June 7, 2013, a difficult decision was made to have him put to sleep. With heavy hearts we brought Miko to the pet hospital & had him put to sleep. Here's Miko, moments before we bade him our final goodbye.

Since Friday evening Mako has been looking for Miko. It breaks our hearts to see him roam around looking for his buddy. He'd look for Miko in the usual places where Miko used to hide. Mako is missing his best friend. We could see & feel Mako's sadness.

Miko is the biggest & heaviest of the three. Somewhat a loner.  He'd often hide under the bed when he hears the door bell rings.  When we have visitors stop by the house he would spend hours under the bed even when our visitors have long been gone.  This guy is a hardcore stalker. Wherever Mitzy is, Miko is in her midst.

Mako is the cutest of the three.  He is sort of mentally slow.  Eating & sleeping are his main activities.  He enjoys eating those canned food.  He is not exactly fond of those dry food (they look like breakfast cereals) but we try to prod him to have a few bites of those because they're the ones that give him the proper nutrients he needs.
