Ah~~, fur changing ~~again!!

It's been 2 weeks since Kenshiro's annual(quarterly?) fur changing event started.
The last one seemed to happen just a few months ago, but here we are, once again.

All the signs have appeared (lines and waves on the body, fur comiung out of her cheeks..)
But this year, black line on her back started really a lot..
I can simply pull her fur out from there...

I have to comb her possiblly everyday, and get her lick her favorite furball remedy.
I hope this will end soon..i miss my beautiful KenKen.

My biggest guilt to Kenshiro

My husband and I had been having huge arguments.
To be fair to my husband, it wasn't really arguments, but
I threw my anger and temper at him.

Kenshiro was in her cage when that happened for the first time.
The moment I bursted, she went stoned.
Her ears stoot right up, eyes opened so wide.

Second time, she just hid under the sofa over the entire time, scared.
Scared of me.

Looking at her like this really hurt me.
I felt massive guilt I have never felt before.
I am so sorry, Kenshiro.
I will not do that in front of you ever again.

Sun-Dried Papaya leaves

KAWAI そのまんま天日干し　パパイヤの葉－410yen

It's the same series as Sun-dried brocolli leaves Kenshiro's crazy about.
And just like the broccoli leaves, she loooves this new Papaya leaves.
She recognize the bag and as soon as she sees it, she would run to me.

Papay leaves are a lot more crunchy than broccoli's.
It explains that papaya leaves contains as much papain enzyme as in the fruites, and it would help improving immune system as well as recovering from fatigue.

Anyway, all Kenshiro cares about is when she will see that orange bag again...

Home-grown Parsley

When she was small, we used to buy a pack of parsley at City Super sometimes for her treat.
They are about HK$8 a pack.

Anyway, last year I happened to go to the flower street and bought a pot of parsley, because I wanted to grow them to feed Kenshiro more freely.
It was only $15 a pot.
Good thing is that I can pick the leaves whenever I want.
Hard part is that it can die, or the leaves can be far less attractive compared to what I can buy from City-Super.

At the moment, after 8 months or so, it is still alive, though it doesn't have much leaves left.
I fed it with used-brown tea leaf as a natural fertilizer, and it's doing ok, if not briliant.

Regardless of the looks, Kenshiro loves parsley.
I hope more leaves will come out.

"Cruelty-free" shampoo

What: Nature's Gate Rain water clarifying shampoo
Price: $58
Content: 532ml
(click on the top and it will jump to their website)

Since the beggining of early summer, I started to make my consious effort to buy only "animal-testing free" detergent and washing powder.

I picked this brand, mainly because of the price.
It is more expensive than the conventional ones, but you know, not so much more expensive.
But you feel great everytime you wash your hair, confiently knowing that products you are using did not make any animal go through neither painful experience nor life.

Why pay to torture animal' lives just for our hair or for our dish washing?

The more people choose to buy these products, the more impact we can make for animal welfare, and the cost can come down.
Even just for me, one person, considering how many bottles of shampoos and dish-washing detergent I will consume during my life-time, I know that I am making some difference!

Would you care to join me? These products are great, just pay a little more, and it gives you all the more good-feeling.

Milk Vetch

SUN FARM Sanko Milk Vetch 30g - 270yen

Another new treat from SUN FARM.

Im hoping that being a major brand also seen in HK, I can find them here, too though I haven't seen them before in any of the pet shops I've been to,and surely the price would be 1.5 times more expensive as usual.

Milk vetch is a kind of bean family plant and is rich in fibre as well as protein and Vitamins.

I bought this one after seeing Kenshiro being crazy about the sample she had tried last time.

She would even try to come onto the bag if she sees me opening it.

My girl is getting a little aggressive.

Anyway, she lo~~ves it very much, as much as Lacto suppliments.:)
