  • Tabs’ news

    Tabs has been very well-behaved ever since getting spayed. I guess it’s the recovery period and she’s not exactly feeling that well yet. I have been keeping her confined in my room all day. It’s better than being caged up.  Pole came by to visit and just take a look at how fierce Tabs is…

  • Indy finishes all his jabs!!

    This evening, I brought Indy for his last antibiotic jab and guess what, Indy BENT the needle! That’s his way of saying, “I’m done….goodbye needle!” But his acupuncture is still ongoing, of course.  Indy back home after his last jab. One would think he would be fed-up of AD, but he is not. I’m glad…

  • Calling for Lee (Re: the Siberian Husky)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/12/23/7290/ Lee, if you are reading this, please contact me as soon as possible regarding your friend’s intention to adopt a Siberian Husky. I have just made contact with the Chinese-speaking lady and the Husky has NOT been thrown out yet. Your friend can then liaise directly with the mother of the owner. It is…

  • Indy, Bunny and friends, and my diet conversion project

    This morning, I think it must have been at 5am or earlier that Indy came to wake me up by nudging me repeatedly. He was really persistent but I was also persistently dead-beat and could not get up at all. So Indy finally let me sleep on until 6.45am. Downstairs at the kitchen, everyone came…

  • Tabs is doing fine

    Last night, after the anaesthesia wore off, Tabs probably wasn’t feeling too good as she did not want to eat. I offered food and she wasn’t interested, so I let her be. She did, however, urinate many times in the litter box.  Tiger and Cow came to visit.  I finally succeeded in persuading Tiger to…

  • Subsidy for the spay-neuter of 5 cats (Molly Brown’s)

    We have subsidised RM380 for the spay-neuter of 5 cats rescued and looked after by Molly Brown. 3 are males and 2 are females.          

  • Some links on catfood from Dr Lisa Pierson

    Here are some links on catfood which Dr Susanna shared with me: http://catinfo.org/?link=cannedfoods http://catinfo.org/docs/Tips%20for%20Transitioning%20PDF%201-14-11.pdf http://catinfo.org/?link=makingcatfood#Raw vs Cooked According to Dr Lisa Pierson, any type of canned food is still better than dry food and the reason is that cats need water. Canned food has more water than dry food. She writes: Keep in mind that the…

  • Subsidy for Hambao’s final bill (Grace Chow’s)

    We have subsidised RM224.50 for Hambao’s final bill. Hambao was rescued by Grace Chow, a student from UTAR Kampar, treated and is now adopted. Hambao and Dehbao’s earlier bill was also subsidised by us. Unfortunately, Dehbao did not make it. Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/12/11/updates-on-hambao-grace-chows/

  • Tabs is spayed and is home now

    The clinic called at 5.15pm saying I could already pick up Tabs. Earlier on, at 4.30pm, I rang and the assistant said Tabs had just been spayed and all went went. I was so relieved. You know how it is when any of your animals go in for an operation. Every operation comes with risks.…

  • Giving back Tiger his throne

    While Tabs was away for spaying, I tried to give Tiger’s Cardboard Palace back to him, especially his “throne”, but he wasn’t comfortable sitting on it anymore.   See how uncomfortable he is? He used to sleep like a log on his boxes. Then, it rained heavily and I could not find Tiger anywhere in…

  • Where is everyone?

    The windows are still all closed as Indy and Tabs are still under “house quarantine”. Tabs was making a hue and cry all morning when I confined her in the room, so I had to stay with her all morning after coming back from the vet’s with Indy.  She finally settled here, on the table…

  • The Pied Piper of Hamelin and Chief Seattle

    When I was young, we read storybooks, a trait, I’m told is fast dying in this generation of i-pads and ipods. In these stories (which we called fairytales), one would be transported to a whole new world of magical people, beautiful princesses, gnomes, genies, and sometimes…even rats. Here’s a story that has stayed in my…

  • 38.6 – no more fever for Indy!

    Great news today! Indy’s temperature is 38.6 degrees. That’s back to normal. There is no more fever! His weight is maintained at 4kg this morning, which means there is no more weight loss since yesterday. His appetite has improved a lot too – after the visit to the clinic, I started to force-feed him AD…

  • A response on the case of the Siberian Husky

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/12/23/the-case-of-the-2-year-old-siberian-husky/ This is from Maneki: Your post about the lady who wanted to just dump her husky made me so sad. Huskies are absurdly ill-suited to Malaysian life for so many reasons. They’re high-energy dogs with a powerful work drive, and of course their double-coat is not meant for life in the tropics. It breaks…
