  • Updates on Yoshee

    I have been asking Sree about Yoshee and she is doing just fine. Yoshee is as happy as ever, says Sree. She delights in receiving visitors and is super-duper friendly to everyone. I did not visit Yoshee today as I believe there is a time where we must “let go” and respect the privacy of…

  • Another new guest?

    I recently heard from an acquaintance that Mr G’s house has “a lot of cats”. This is not surprising if all the cats there are not neutered. So far we have seen quite a number of cats from Mr G’s house coming to our ledge or into our garden. There was another one this morning.…

  • Visiting Yoshee at the clinic

    Since Yoshee will be at the clinic until Saturday, I thought I’d bring some food for her and visit her as well. When I reached the clinic, Yoshee had already gone for a walk this morning. Sree has decided to put her entirely on kibble so it’s best she is not given anymore home-cooked food.…
