  • My plan….

    Here’s my plan to address the spraying problem in my house (a.k.a the Cow & Bunny problem). Tulipspet to remove as much odour as I can from the walls and furniture…, Feliway to give out happy hormones to address the self-induced stress in Cow and Bunny (especially Cow!). Wish me luck!

  • Visiting Ben and Burt

    After meeting up with Mary and the mangy cat, my next stop was to visit Ben and Burt. Have been wanting to visit them, but this week has been extremely hectic. Burt is doing quite well, but there is one stubborn spot on the nose which still has not healed. The vet says he isn’t…

  • Mangy cat to the vet’s (Mary Yap’s)

    Mary feeds the cats in her apartment area, and this morning, she noticed one of the cats has pretty bad mange.The cat was sent to our panel vet today for treatment. Blurry photo…it’s an active cat! See the mange on the ears? An Ivermectin jab should do the trick. Monitor for a few days, it…

  • Chicken Soup for the B&Bs

    This morning, I was still up at 3am.There was a huge commotion at around 2am in the porch. Cow & Bunny were engaged in yet another World War III and tufts of fur was flying all over. I suspect it had something to do with the Tulipspet spray. I must have removed their urine scent…

  • Kathina Eve at the SJBA

    This evening is Kathina Eve at the Subang Jaya Buddhist Association. If you’d like to purchase our tshirts or get my books, do drop in. We have a booth there, from 6.30pm until closing, which is usually about 10.00pm.Tomorrow is Kathina Day, and we’ll be manning the booth as well, from 7.30am until late afternoon.

  • Tulipspet Cat-Spraying control?

    I’ve been dealing (and living!) with a major cat-spraying problem ever since I began fostering kittens and Cow & Bunny had to make their presence smelt!I’ve tried many kinds of recommended treatments including commercial sprays but none have been able to conquer Cow & Bunny incessant and insistent spraying.Yesterday, Amy recommended that I try this……

  • The Blueys, Indy and Bobby news!

    My house is not exactly the tidiest dwelling place these days, what with our impending move and also the boxes of tshirts, books, and packages to be posted every day… But the Blueys LOVE it! The messier, the better it is for them! And why is that so? Because…we LOVE to explore, that’s why! We…

  • A special offer for dogfood (for Meiji)

    Hi Folks, I know this is a bit early this time as we have just sent a consignment of dogfood to Meiji on 29th September, but I’ve just been offered a really good deal of RM65 per pack (as per our 3rd dogfood donation to Meiji earlier this year). The company is offering a special…

  • Visiting Ah Fatt’s cat

    Ah Fatt sent this market cat to the vet about a week ago as she was having fever and looked really sickly. The cat was put on drips and the next day, appeared to have recovered and was eating, too. However, after a few days, the cat went down again, and now has to be put…

  • 3-month old puppy for adoption (Adeline Boey’s)

    ADOPTED on 30th October!From Adeline Boey (adeline_brf@yahoo.com): Hi Dr Chan, I was wondering if you can assist to feature this cute pup in your blog? He was malnourished when my husband and I first fostered him a month ago. Now, he has been “fattened” up and ready for adoption. The initial plan was to let…

  • The case in Ohio (dozens of wild animals shot dead by authorities)

    In case you have not heard, here it is: http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2011/10/19/at-least-two-dozen-dead-in-ohio.aspx?utm_source=PETA&utm;_medium=E-News&utm;_campaign=Dozens%2BDead%2Bin%2BOhioWHY must people do such things?Leave the wild animals alone; they belong in their natural habitat. Not in zoos, not in sanctuaries, not in circuses, not in our houses. They belong to Nature.  I’m still reeling in shock and sadness over the gassing of the cat (and…

  • What’s wrong, Bobby? (and more Bluey stories)

    Since about 4am this morning, Bobby has been pacing non-stop. Bobby sleeps with us every night, and husband says he thinks Bobby couldn’t get up (maybe due to his arthritis) to urinate, and he wet himself. That must have got him very upset. By the time I was awakened by all the commotion, Bobby was…

  • The cat who refused to die

    Jessy Lian shared this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2050819/Stray-cat-Andrea-survives-gas-chamber-Utah-animal-shelter-twice.htmlWhile the story is “remarkable” in that this cat actually survived the gas chamber twice, I couldn’t help feeling so sad that animals are gassed in these places. Whether it is by lethal injection or gas, or whatever methods that humans use to kill animals because they don’t want them anymore, or they…

  • More photos from Thailand’s flood

  • And the Blueys?

    Here they are…I Frontlined them both this morning…. Fuzzy, fuzzy… They didn’t quite mind being sprayed this time! They love this fish scratching-pad….as a bed! We left them sleeping when we went off to meet Andy Lew at his office. I did not want to bring them along as I thought they had just been…
