This is a miracle. Strangers <3 helping with a cat we literally thought was at death's door, and the silly kitty starts eating again. We are going to pay it forward. If ever our gofundme exceeds the actual goal, my spouse and I already decided we will help other causes. gofund.me/1c1cd0618

Goldie the cat sitting on my spouse's lap. She WAS at death's door but somehow the silly fluff decided to start eating. The blood transfusion probably helped. She has IMHA, a severe type of anemia but we don't know the root cause yet. Still waiting for actual diagnosis.

HUGE thank you everyone for your support for our kitty Goldie! I honestly didn't expect her to eat 😭 I don't know how long more we will have her, but this is a blessing. She is our fur child, our comfort in these times. We love having her sleep at the end of the bed, or climb onto our laps purring🙀

A picture of a healthier Goldie weeks ago. Our cat looks a bit concerned as she lounges upon the blankets on our bed.

Storytime: Goldie loves to lounge next to the keyboard of my spouse while they WFH. Eventually, kitty wants attention & pets. When she doesn't get it, she paws at the nearby hand, becoz surely this is what human hands are for! Then one day she grabbed an arm to lick & chomp! gofund.me/1c1cd0618

Update on our kitty. Goldie has IMHA "Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia", it's a symptom not the cause. It all depends now if we can get her to eat and accept the new meds. Sorry for the multiple posts. Here is cat tax

Woot. After two months of prep and recovery from the move to Chicago, am finally flying back to Malaysia today. Hope I survive! Pan mee, chee cheong fun, hailam chicken rice, Tuaran mee, here I come!! 🤤

Still on my great road trip from Austin to Chicago, and was thrilled to be able to find a Malaysian restaurant near Dallas! It was so lovely to talk to fellow Malaysians at Malacca Cafe, and eat satay, roti bakar, teh tarik, and kon lau wan tan mee again
