  • Pole is still on the roof (5.40pm)

    I think Pole is probably sleeping inside that niche in the neighbour’s roof. It is 5.40pm now, and it’s going to be dark soon. We’ve put a plank from the gutter of the neighbour’s roof to our wall. If only Pole could see this as a way back, it might work.  But as far as…

  • Pole was spotted several times…on the neighbour’s roof

    Since about 2pm, when Cathy came over, we spotted Pole on the neighbour’s roof – that’s the back neighbour, one house away. Pole was walking on the roof, trying very hard to come down, but was too scared to jump.  Here she is, on the neighbour’s roof. Then, she walked up the roof and landed…

  • Please pray for Pole to come home safely

    I have enlisted the help of a psychic. He feels Pole is now lost and is trying to find her way back to my old house. He said to give it 2-3 days and search in my old house. But this psychic does not know how far it is for a cat to travel from…

  • Pole is missing (1pm)

    This morning, Pole was very well-behaved. Since yesterday afternoon, she had made no attempt to escape. Just before I left for work this morning, I contemplated whether I should put her in the cage. I would be gone for more than 3 hours. But Pole was sitting sweetly on the sofa; what kind of message…

  • Updates on Pak Din (from Chew)

    We’d like to thank everyone who has offered help, including Wine Dogs EE and TB who donated a bag of dogfood and rice and who have also offered to help with the cost of the netting. Also, my friend, Kon, for offering to fund the construction materials for the netting. Another friend who sourced for…

  • Cow and Pole stories

    Yesterday was a truly happy day at Bunny’s Place as far as Pole was concerned. I let her out after the morning cleaning and she made two failed attempts to jump out (she could not get a proper foothold on the first horizontal bar, so she let herself fall). I put her back into the…

  • Very urgent: Stray cat needs a home (Jessy Lian’s)

    From Jessy: Dear Dr.Chan, My aunt has a dilemma & she ask me for help. She has been feeding this stray cat in her neigbourhood for a long time. The cat has been spay/neuter (I forgotten the cat’s gender) and it is estimate to be around 9 yrs old. My aunt’s grand-daughter is allergic to…

  • Star-gazing for a way out?

    It is past midnight now…I’ve just finished the accounting for today’s event, in between seeing to the needs of the felines. Pole was let out a few times today as I felt sorry for her having been caged the whole day while I was at the event. But each time, she would head straight for…

  • The “Pole-ish” escapade story continues…

    Ever since Pole’s daring one-of-a-kind escapades yesterday (and TWICE within a few hours), I have been trying my best to keep my sanity. I had no other better option than to lock her in the cage for a few hours while I was attending yesterday’s TPPM briefing and even later, when I had to pack…

  • A sharing from Ipoh (Akmar’s)

    Here’s a sharing from Akmar, all the way from Ipoh: Dear Dr. Chan, My name is Akmar and I’ve been informally ‘introduced’ to your blog ever since the Petknode fiasco.
