Indy and the Blueys
Ever since Indy came back from the vet’s, he seemed to have lost a bit of his confidence. He no longer sleeps on top of the car in the porch. Rather, he prefers to sleep under the neighbour’s car. So, every morning and evening, I’ve had to go over to the neighbour’s to call him back…

Geng Gebu – it always begins with a first-time experience
I first spoke to Nurul Hidayah when I was looking for an adopter for the Sunnies. Nurul called saying she wanted only Honeybear. But I wanted all three to be adopted together, so the Sunnies later went to Rozita instead.Recently, I was in touch with Nurul again when she offered to be a fosterer for…

My personal grateful thanks to donors of my new book
In mid-July I started writing my seventh book, and I finished the book by early August. Ask any writer, professional or amateur or struggling apprentice (like me!), and he’ll tell you the easiest part is the writing. That’s because we are in total control of the writing and we are in charge.The hard part is…

A female cat neutered, the male later
Wei Seong wrote to me sometime ago and asked if we could sponsor the spay-neuter of two kittens whom he had adopted from a rescuer. Our policies do cater for such cases, depending on the financial position of the caregiver.Once adopted, the responsibility of caring for the animal lies with the adopter, but in our…

A male cat neutered
Vicky Khoo wrote to me a few days ago about getting a male cat neutered. This cat lives at her housing area and is being looked after by one of the security guards, Rodiah. (Doesn’t he look almost exactly like Tiger?) This morning, Vicky and Rodiah brought the cat to our panel vet. The cat…

Baloo’s new “sentry post”
I’m sure you’ve noticed how most cats like to sleep on high places? We call this Cleo’s sentry post. When Cleo is off duty, Cow takes over. We also have a back sentry post, let me look for the photos later and I’ll post them up here. That would be Tiger and Bunny’s territory. They…

STILL more applicants for the Duck-Hen Pose Club!
From Jessy Lian:Hi Dr.Chan, Ah Yee is my family’s beloved female cat. She & her brother were adopted by us 5+ yrs ago from the alley, when their mother were tragically bitten to death by a group of 5-6 stray dogs. That time my alley is still not gated. Cookie is 1 of my alley…

While I was packing tshirts…
I’m taking a break from tshirt packing, stock-checking and rearranging them into new boxes. A new stock of Gold tshirts just arrived yesterday and I hadn’t even had time to check the stock yet. But this time, I have two helpers…the Fuzzy Lumpkin Sisters (still fuzzy because of today’s Frontlining). A new stock of Gold.…

The Blueys are still here
It’s 5.30pm now and the potential adopter isn’t here yet. Perhaps she is not coming today. Just as well because I’ve decided to foster the Blueys for awhile more in light of Baloo’s skin infection. She has just started on the povidone iodine and Vetri DMG and I’d like her to settle down with it…
