  • Revisiting Ketam Island

    I made a trip up to Ketam Island, today, many months after my first visit in June when the Ketam dog dumping issue was still very “hot”.  Today’s trip was an invitation by INCOVAR, a youth group of college and varsity students (as well as graduates).  I was asked to give an awareness talk to…

  • Animal cruelty abounds (part 2)

    If you read some of the comments in my earlier posting about this case: http://animalcare.my/2009/12/animal-cruelty-abounds.html, you will see that a concerned citizen, by the pseudonym of Mongrel Pup, has sent the story to the authorities, because as he/she has advised, that is the proper way to do things. I hope there would be a response from…

    Teresa brought Kit Kat to our panel vet for treatment today.  Kit Kat was one of the first OKR cats spayed by us about three months ago.  She was returned to the colony and is being managed by her feeder.  Apparently, she got bitten by a dog four days ago. Here are some photos to…

    No, this is not a recipe for a sandwich, but the names of three cats being fed and managed by Mr Chee and his wife, Lin.  The males are Butter (dark grey) and Chocolate (ginger). The female is Peanut (tabby). Mr Chee brought them to our panel vet today, to be spayed and neutered under…

  • “How could you?” by Jim Willis

    “How Could You?” Copyright Jim Willis 2001 When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was “bad,” you’d shake your finger at…

  • Let’s be helpful rather than judgmental

    I just wish to make a general comment here, or rather, a suggestion.  In the course of managing this blog and coordinating AnimalCare for the past half year, I have received tons of support from all of you, of which I am incredibly grateful.  However, there are times when I receive a lot of you-should-haves…

  • Suki, after a long rest….

    I’d like to thank everyone who had written in to enquire about Suki, and also to offer your ideas on what had happened and how it should have been done better. Let me assure everyone that Suki is fine now.  She took a long nap after returning from the clinic yesterday, and by midnight, was…

  • Suki’s home!!

    We went to pick up Suki about an hour ago.  According to the vet, her recovery was “quite harsh”.  It seems she banged her head repeatedly on the carrier.  This, according to the vet, is because she’s a highly-stressed kitten.  Poor Suki. Anyway, she’s back home now, and I’ve put her back in her cage. …

  • “A timid kitten”

    The vet called me just now and said Suki looked very timid and fearful.  She also looked very pale.  The vet asked me if Suki is normally a very fearful and timid kitten at home, and I said she is actually the opposite. But to be on the safe side, we got a blood test done, and her…
