The Pole Show, prickly cat-mats and the shadow of Shadow
This morning, Pole’s in-built mechanism was at work, so she tries again… She walks the entire length, looking for possible loopholes. While our Houdini-Girl was doing her job, I had to do mine – yes, my janitor’s job of cleaning cat toilets. Husband had put some prickly wires here yesterday. It seemed to…

Come play with Tabs!
Tabs wasn’t feeling too well for the past 2 days. She looked a little tired. I think it could also be because some children came to visit and they played with her…a bit too much. I gave her Vetri DMG and she is back to normal now. These are the games Tabs plays with her…

Physiotherapy for animals
We’ve had requests to learn physiotherapy for animals as we can see for ourselves how much good it has done for Sunshine. Lydia has shared the below and wishes to emphasize that she does not hold any qualifications on physiotherapy for animals. What she knows is based on whatever skills she has picked up while…

An angpow for Sunshine!
We’ve given an angpow from our Food Fund for Sunshine. Lydia did not want any “repayment” for all she has done for Sunshine, and we certainly cannot repay her with all the money in the world (!). This is just a small token to cover a bit of Sunshine’s food for a few weeks. It’s…

Sunshine works out on the treadmill!
Here are some sunshiny updates of our dear girl, Sunshine, from Lydia: Sunshine has fully regained her bowel and bladder function and moves about independently. She walks, runs and plays with all my dogs. She even tries to jump up on me when she gets all excited when we’re playing. We are still working on some minor residual…

Updates on Flower and Coco (Anita Chen’s)
Here’s updates on the two girls: So far Flower has not vomited, only poo poo blood clot once in 24 hours and protested like crazy when her lining paper was wet. But she pulled out the drip so it had to be removed. We can’t put into other legs because the vein burt. So, no…

Medical subsidy for a cat with mange (Shaila Raj’s)
Shaila Raj wrote to me a few days regarding a stray cat with mange. Since this was Shaila’s first case of dealing with a mangy cat, she was quite disturbed by all the scratching and bleeding and wanted to board the cat at the vet’s. I explained that our policies will not cover any subsidy…

The Pole Escapes (mystery solved and rectified…for now)
Husband found two holes up on the gutter ledge. He is amazed how Pole discovered it, too. Let’s call them the “Pole Holes”. Yups, there are actually TWO holes which even Cow could get out from! Gee… can you fix them? You’re wasting you time, you know. I’ll just find another way, somehow. Meanwhile, who…

The Pole Escapes continues…
Pole’s in-built mechanism got to work again this morning. After breakfast and a big clean-up, she jumped onto the gutter ledge to try her luck. One could see in her eyes that she was bent on escaping again. Previously, there was a gap here, but it’s been sealed off by Ah Keong, the contractor. Everybody…
