My big sister and her Swedish hubby are away in England for a fortnight, to attend their daughter's graduation at the University of Reading. They had actually "gone back home" as they hold the British PR and once lived for a long time in a typical English house that was huge with spacious gardens spanning across 400 feet which came with a natural river at the back of the house. Those who live in houses with clean river or canal waters running across would often reap windfalls and abundance of wealth according to some Feng Shui beliefs. Hearing this theory and seeing their windfalls, kinda made me believe it.
So they have entrusted the duty for poor me to be their house sitter! One week has passed so swiftly and I am having another week of dreadful chores to undertake. I just googled on the internet that one could work as a housesitter and live all over the world for free and get paid too. Why not hire me??
I don't get paid but I am required to sleep at their luxurious guest room
at the
pinnacle of Mont Kiara. It is on the higher floors that command a
panoramic
view of KL silhouetted behind the stunning concrete jungles
in the vicinity.
They have a balcony filled with so many plants including strawberry,
papaya,
roses, mint, basils and so many other trees. Every plant has got their own
specific requirements to be watered using measuring cups, sprays
and watering cans! I also have to fetch their cleaning maid
over to
thoroughly clean and wash their whole place.
There are 2
precious cats too which were air flown all the way from United Kingdom!
They are terribly spoilt and pampered pussies that need to be fed with the best cat food
twice a day besides getting good brush on their fur coats daily. The lights, air cons
and ventilation fans must be promptly turned on, to keep them relaxed & happy.

I must stay over so that the royalty cats would not be depressed
with their "missing parents".
I just noticed that every single house below comes with their own lap pools!
The developer is so thoughtful.
Introducing you - Their Royal Highness Prince & Princess Pussy Cats
of United Kingdom. They were both born in England & carry their own
birth certificates too. I am not surprised if they have passports too.
I didn't know that English cats have birth certificates!
Do they pay taxes too?
Every evening both the Royalty Pussies would perch on
the balcony to watch the golden sunset. They amazed me
to see what a blissful life to become cats like them.
Bluek!

Eh, not a bad job lah but then again have to jaga 2 kucing, so I say no thank you hah..hah...
ReplyDeleteNobody wants to jaga pets and water plants. It is not easy to look for suitable persons but I seem to fit the bill.
Deletewaaaah ... those cats definitely look regal ... and very well taken care of! hopefully they appreciate all the tender love and attention that they're receiving! :D
ReplyDeleteThe cats are quite dumb animals and show no loyalty like dogs but the owners would often brag that cats are smart and snobbish. Whatever lah! LOLOL
DeleteAiyor, what chores? You fetch the maid to clean the house. You only water the plants and feed the royal highnesses. That's like a staycation! ;) You're the lucky one to have the companionship of those two cute (and round) cats...not the other way round...wakakakaka! :D Wow, those cats are so well trained, they can sit on the balcony and not jump over? O_o
ReplyDeleteNext time I can propose this Staycation job to you. HaHa!
DeleteThe problem is that my wife and I have full time jobs everyday but we have lots of necessities still at our own abode. This is not a vacation for us but all arrangements are done to suit the 2 cats. Anyways the mutual respect and love of siblings that matters most.
Haha. Not bad. Can really consider to do this after you retired. The most tedious part would have been watering the plants according to their specific requirements. If me, I would have just spray water over all of them :P
ReplyDeleteGood idea... I always thought that I could be a baby sitter at home when I have retired as the money is so damn good. Now can add house sitting as well.
DeleteThis is the first time I see how plants are being watered differently. Just like feeding new born babies, young kids and bed ridden patients using different feeding apparatus.
Ya cats are very blissful especially those which are well fed but I wonder do they feel boring as they don't blog, muahaha
ReplyDeleteI often stared at the cats and tried to read their mind. Their life is like so blessed, carefree and relaxed. No need to work except eat, sleep, shit and meow only. Wakakaka
DeleteAt least you don't have to take care of the cat litter after the cats finished their daily business. Or do you have to? Aiyo you are such a good and trust worthy brother. You could have rented out the place on airbnb for the few weeks that they are not around, hehehehe.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I missed out this most important task! I have to scoop their litter daily and change the whole sand box when too soiled. Why didn't I think of this AirBnB idea?? You are so wise and quick to smell money. I will do it next time.
DeleteYour sister and her husband are so hardworking. Planting so many type of fruits and plants in balcony.
ReplyDeleteWhat? The air con need to be turned on everyday just for these two British cats? Really so pampered both of them.
I agree that they are so hardworking to plant papaya and strawberries besides the assorted roses. I guess it has nothing to do with saving money but the patience, fun & experience that comes to harvesting the fruits of their labour. The weather has been too hot recently and the cat furs dropped so much. The air con is handy to help to bring down the temperature on/off.
DeleteWonder when you finish your house sitter task, will the cats wanna follow you home, since you took care of them when your sister and hubby not around...
ReplyDeleteOh no... The cats disliked me as they don;t allow me to carry them. So sombong lah. Muahahaha
Deletewahhhh.. no wonder need a housesitter.. so now you are also the Royalty there.. Royal Butler! hahahaa... Yes, indeed the cats are more "comfortable" than I am! hahaha...
ReplyDeleteYou have been flying all over the world and away for many days. Do you have pets and plants that need daily attention??
DeleteYour life is like a Princess and how to compare with the cats?? HaHaHa!
So lucky lah the cats, get Anay to take care of them instead of being put in cat hotel. LOL
ReplyDeleteNow it sounds like I owed the cats something in their past lives!! HaHaHa! Now pay back time to jaga anak kucing pulak. The owners could never bear to see their precious cats being caged up at the Pet Hotels. I can understand this.
Deletelucky cats!!!! I m so envious of them! so, do u get to feed urself with some good food from their fridge?
ReplyDeleteHaHa! Why wanna be envious with cat's karma?
DeleteI am not so blessed like the cats. There were chocolates and pomegranate juices in the fridge.
Hi! It's looks nice job for you. I wish I would become these kind of cats in my next life.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't enjoy doing this but that is my own part as a family member to help out whenever I could.
DeletePlease don;t wish to be a cat in your next life. I hope you will be born again in Tokyo.
Hope you're not rewarded with cat food. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI have tried the cat's biscuits by Friskies and they tasted like shrimp snacks. LOLOL
DeleteLOL! why did you go and eat cat's food? LOL!
DeleteLOL! Naughty and adventurous TM!
DeleteCats are easier to "baby-sit" them unlike dogs!
ReplyDeleteI never fed dogs before and would think they are less fussy with food. They are just noisy when they bark but they are more fun to play with.
Deletehaahaha, but , why they wanna give up and stay in a posh condo? kekekeke. U seemed to be having a great time!
ReplyDeleteEngland is too expensive with sky high taxes and gloomy weather. Life in KL is more fun and affordable.
Deletehahahaha, yeah if they are staying in London. Go Nottingham la, a lot cheaper. kekekeke
DeleteThe cats seem to be taken care less or more than a child! lol
ReplyDeleteNice views from the balcony… wonderful sunset
british pussies have some elegance that their M'sian counterparts don't have.
ReplyDeleteNice of you to do this for your sister. I am familiar with Mont Kiara, having worked in an office at Plaza Mont Kiara. This was years ago. Also, I live nearby ..haha!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure your sister's balcony garden can plant a papaya tree? That's very unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteLol! I don't know much about cats and dogs, but by just looking at these two cats, I know they are different. They look very classy indeed. Kakakaka!
