Where’s everyone?
The Junior Colony in my house is settling down now, after Bandit got rehomed. Cats, like humans, also need time to adjust. Here are some photos taken today: Peanut is the new player in the box game, with Xiao Li and Teddybear. Teddybear and Xiao Li, copying what Cow does. The Senior Colony accepts the…

Two female cats spayed
These are the two stray female cats brought in by Ken Chiang to be spayed under our sponsorship today. Ken feeds them and looks after them. At the rate the stray animals are breeding, how many can we rehome? Animal-lovers’ houses are full. Rescuers’ houses are full. Sanctuaries are full. Shelters are full. How many…

Monash University students support AnimalCare!
I am in touch with the Monash Buddhist Society and their members often come for my public talks. This week, their society is organising a one-week fund-raising for us, and they have called it “Pawprints on My Heart”, using the name of my first book (which has run out of circulation now, but I’m reprinting…

Bandit and Joned’s updates
For the past two days, I have been waking up every morning and the first thing I do is to think of Bandit and visualise him being very happy and adjusting well in Wani’s house. And I silently tell him that he is very much loved and thought about, and that I will always wish…

Bandit’s updates
Rehoming an animal after being fostered for some time is a great challenge. We wish we could adopt all of them, yet our resources and space are limited, so the next best option is to find them a good and loving home. So, we advertise and pray very hard that a good and loving person…

More milestones for Bandit
It’s almost midnight now, and I’ve been waiting for this news – Bandit has regained his appetite and has eaten his dry food. He has also pee-ed (hooray!) and poo-ed in his cage. Wani will still let him have the bedroom as he feels safer in there. Last night, Wani kept Bandit in the bedroom…

All for one and one for all….!!
When it rained heavily this evening, Xiao Li and Teddybear were scared. Of course, the PBJs were not as they are too young to know fear. Both Xiao Li and Teddy climbed up and sat on my lap for comfort. Then I had to go out and while I was away…. The whole gang went into…

Wii’s story continues
I have not managed to achieve much success in trying to help Wii gain some confidence. Today, he came back for food many times, but even the presence of Xiao Li and Teddybear stresses him. Here’s poor Wii about to eat his food. Xiao Li and Teddybear came out to see him, and he gets…

The box game
I brought home this box with little holes at the bottom and Bandit created this “box game” yesterday. They all had a ball before I took Bandit to Wani’s house. It was all quiet last night when I came home after rehoming Bandit, but this morning, Xiao Li and Teddybear played the game again. Here’s how the…

Bandit poo-ed!
By this evening, Bandit still had not pee-ed, so I discussed with Wani and we decided it would be best if I took Bandit back for monitoring and if need be, send him to the vet tomorrow to check if his bladder is full and he is holding back his urination. As I was driving…

Visiting Bandit
After my public talk today, I visited Bandit. It was also to bring Bandit his chicken meat and his litter box. Bandit was in his cage when I reached there. Wani had spent the entire night helping him settle in, but it seems like Bandit is an extremely sensitive kitten, and doesn’t take to changes…
