  • Urgently required – fosterer for Bushytail’s kittens

    Sudhamma just texted me about an hour ago that she needs a fosterer urgently for Bushytail’s kittens as she would be going back to school (to teach) on Monday.  The weakest one and the one with diarrhoea have passed away, so only three are left now.  They are estimated to be about 7 days old now. …

  • Ice Cream and Panda, treated for skin problem

    Yesterday, Joanne Lim brought Ice Cream and Panda for treatment.  Joanne writes: Yesterday I had abt a 50 mins session with the vet. He also observed them during our discussion n exploring what should n could be done for them. Looking at the fact that Ice Cream and Panda (ICP) are strays that live in…

  • Our new quality control supervisors!

    Right after the radio interview, I rushed over to Sukhi Hotu’s to get the new tshirts.  Ahh, just on time for today’s event in USJ (come join us, ok?).  The boxes of tshirts were piled all the way to the roof of my little Kelisa.  I stopped at the clinic to see Bushytail before going…

  • And while I was away at the radio station…..

    What was happening at home….?  The Sunny Kittens were listening to and recording my interview!!  My husband said their ears perked up and they went towards the radio when they heard my voice…or were they just curious over the radio as a new toy?  I’m listening…and vetting what you say….ok, correct, correct….and are you going to…

  • Playhouse kitties

    The Sunny Kittens have been enjoying the playhouse….  Fox and Rex inside.  Honeybear is sort of the last one to learn new things…well, he’s the youngest.  Rex loves it!  I’m coming out!!  Er…use the door, Rex?  No, the window’s more fun!   As I’ve said, these are indeed the MOST obedient kittens I’ve ever fostered.  They…

  • Miaw and Super Zhou2’s “holiday” at Julie Pek’s

    As you know, Miaw and Zhou2 are currently on “holiday” at Julie Pek’s because their adopter, Mimi, has gone on her own holiday. Here are some photos of the feline holiday: They play in the garden and go back into their cage when done. Isn’t that great?

  • Updates on Bushytail

    Latest news….Bushytail has improved!  At least that’s what I’ve got from the vet’s assistant.  The vet is just too busy on a Saturday to take calls, so I won’t disturb him unnecessarily. Meanwhile, CP and her husband, Lim, dropped by this morning as CP has been collecting tshirt orders for us (thank you so much!),…

  • The tide turns….(Newton’s Third Law at work)

    Remember how Pole did not dare come back because (we found out later) Indy had been “ambushing” her?  So, we had to go to the neighbour’s to carry Pole back for about five days before she regained her confidence to come home for meals, and in the meantime, Indy also got told off for his…

  • Heartfelt thanks to our vets (Bushytail’s surgery)

    I learnt from the vet’s assistant yesterday that the pyometra in Bushytail was only detected late Thursday evening when pus flowed out from Bushytail’s vulva.  In fact, it sort of “flooded” the tray of the cage.  That indicated that it was really bad.  Very bad. But the vets had just forcefed Bushytail that afternoon because…

  • A third panel vet for Subang Jaya folks!

    As promised, I have now enlisted the help of a third panel vet to do spay-neuter for our One-Street CNRM programme for Subang Jaya and USJ. However, the rates are a wee bit higher and just like our other vets, there is also no boarding.  We need to understand that the strays that we bring…

  • The prognosis of Bushytail’s condition

    I stopped by twice yesterday, to check on Bushytail’s condition. The prognosis remains grave even though Bushytail is hanging on.  The senior vet explained to me just what had happened and how badly infected Bushytail’s mammary glands were (and still are).  From the diagram drawn, it appeared that the skin on her entire underside would…

  • The BFM 89.9 experience

    In one word….it was real FUN! Chwi Lynn and Meera Sivajothy were so hospitable, they made me feel right at home.  Being inside the studio was such an enjoyable experience, too. However, time passed SO fast while the interview was on.  Of course it would, especially if you had so much more to say! What…

  • Bushytail’s kittens – another passes away

    Poor little kittens.  After the passing of the weakest one, another developed diarrhoea this morning.  I sought advice from the vet and she agreed that we could try giving glucose water for 2 feeds and slowly reintroduce milk. Sudhamma did that, but the poor thing passed away by afternoon. Again, we hope the kitten is…

  • Bushytail’s surgery has been successful!

    Bushytail’s surgery went unexpectedly well today.  There was no messy bleeding and her PCV was good enough, so blood transfusion was not even necessary.  She was also very stable throughout the entire surgery.  That, is a very good sign.  However, the vets could not remove all of the infected parts as the infection of the mammary…

  • Bushytail’s youngest kitten passed away last night

    The poor thing did not make it.  That’s the one who had fallen into the deep drain earlier and also the smallest in size.  Sudhamma texted me just now to say he (or she) had passed away last night.  May he (she) be in a better existence now.  Please send positive thoughts.  Many thanks to Bro…
