My pampered puss who is all the fuss

i adopted a stray kitten more than a year ago and he has changed our lives,sometimes.for better or sometimes for worse.He is so demanding for attention as he is spoilt like crazy.There are so many cat toys i bought to stimulate him but he gets bored of them all after a while. He is a picky eater and refuses to eat cheap kibbles or wet food of chicken n lamb as he only l ikes fish,shrimp or shellfish.in China there are special pet cafes whete they can eat cakes or even mala hotpot with real meat.what a dogs life to so enjoy. He doesnt like to drink so had infection of the urinary tract n had to be operated on to flush out the hard crystals.now i have to buy expensive cat food with medicine for urinary health. Not only toys ,kitty has an array of pet clothes and cap n.bow ties.he hates dressing up but looks so cute in clothes. This lazy kitty hates to catwalk so although i put a long cat leash on him,he is bloody inactive.He will avoid playing in t
he hot sun and run to lie down in the shady bushes so it ends with me having to carry a 5 kg cat on my shoulder all the way to the park and back home.real back breaking but its tougher than gym workout as he squirms and scratches my neck. Even as a kitten ,Captain is terrified of thunderstorms and howls n screams loudly when he hears thunder,see lightning or heavy rain lashing on the balcony.The other day,he woke up Jun who had to comfort him by playing toys with him or comforting him on my bed. Bloody dirty cat has tick n fleas although we send him for grooming every 3 months.The grey sofa and my bed spread has ticks n fleas that bit me alive .im allergic to insect bites,itch like mad and scratch like crazy.it takes me 3 weeks to recover so its not fun to have a cat when they have a tantrum and kill the plants,break the vases and pots and piss everywhere with increase in my aging body,i may need to put him up for adoption as im drained tired from looking after this attention seeker who has expensive taste.Next i may need to find a good cat hotel if jun and i go for long vacations.thats the hassle of having a pet who has separation anxiety. How bad is the cats separation anxiety?he is exactly like Jun as a toddler.When i went to the loo to poo,the cat will wait outside the toilet door until i come out.Sometimes Jun the toddler will slip pieces of paper under the door or poke a stick under the gap.very emotional ,sticky creatures. in the vet hospital he screamed so loudly that the clinic nurse had to cover his cage so he cant see people and try to grab attention.Travelling overseas with a cat is impossible.i envy my friends who are now in Japan and Korea to view the cherry blossoms and floral season.i think even if i take the cat to Sabah n Sarawak by plane,we wont be able to clear the customs and immigration .to quarantine an animal is too tedious with lots of paperwork.
