  • Massive dog-catching projects going on (please protect your community dogs)

    A reader has written to me privately to inform me that many of the stray dogs that she and her friends feed in a certain part of the Klang Valley have “disappeared”. Apparently, private dog-catching companies have been employed to capture dogs on a massive scale, not only in the Klang Valley but in Pahang…

  • We STILL like Monge!!

    Well, it’s been a whole week now and it looks like my brood is still going all gaga over the new food, Monge. I don’t give it to them every day (to keep the novelty), though. This morning, I decided it will be Monge for breakfast and what do you know, the moment Tiger saw…

  • Mdm Hoo Yuh Ru and her dogs come under our Food Fund

    As you all know, most of our funds are used for neutering and medical claims (our Medical Fund). We started with that, and it was only much later that we were able to channel some funds over to provide petfood for very needy rescuers (our Food Fund). Unlike our medical subsidies where we help as…

  • Recycling old catfood cans

    Here is an idea from Chen: Hi KY! Here is an idea that you can blog about – what do you do with the used cans leftover from can cat food? Many of these cans are made of good aluminium. My favourite is Natural Balance cans. They never rust, light weight and just the right…

  • More on pet aggression

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/10/05/petting-aggression-and-play-aggression-in-cats/ Chen shared from her book that we ignore the biting (ie. pay no attention to it) as the biting is attention-seeking. Must try that on our Cow! Hey, come to think of it, isn’t that Tiger’s way? He ignores Bunny’s war-cries and he never gets hurt. Smart Tiger….! Just an hour ago, Bunny was…

  • A (re)look at pet euthanasia

    Pet euthanasia has always been a controversial topic. Our stand has always been that we do not see it as right or wrong, but rather, as a choice or option. The human gives the order – it’s his/her choice. Our choice is that we would avoid it at all costs. We would opt for palliative…

  • Something about clay cat-litter

    For cat owners, you may wish to read this: http://www.care2.com/causes/whats-the-scoop-about-clay-cat-litter.html An excerpt: “Clumping litter is designed to form a hard, insoluble mass when it gets wet,” Marina explains. “It also produces a fine dust when stirred (as when a cat scratches around to bury a recent deposit). And these clumping litters absorb many times their weight…

  • Petting Aggression and Play Aggression in cats

    Today, a student, Jason, from my college who had previously rescued and adopted a stray kitten (now a very precious pet) stopped by my class to chat. He had something to ask about his cat, RayRay. http://animalcare.my/2011/05/16/injured-kitten-found-in-the-middle-of-the-road-sent-for-treatment/ He says that RayRay likes to bite him, and he means, biting until it bleeds. So we got…

  • Updates on the 3 LPS-kittens (from Ain)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/10/04/1-down-with-fpv-2-healthy-updates-on-ong-poh-suans-kittens/ Updates from fosterer Ain: Up to 7am today, the sick kitty (afflicted with FPV) has regained his strength. He started drinking and is able to walk around. Hope he will recover soon. The other two are healthy. No sign of FPV in them so far. Since these kittens are so tiny, please do include…

  • Allow me the rare indulgence of…

    ….going completely off-tangent for once and posting something which has TOTALLY nothing to do with animals, but has something to do with AnimalCare, especially in the area of applying for subsidies, making requests and communication. Please see this link: http://www.englishclub.com/speaking/titles.htm Important excerpts: When you are writing to someone for the first time, use a formal address:…

  • How things work at Bunny’s Place

     Bunny is minding his own business, enjoying the evening.  Indy and Cow are on sentry duty and Cow raises the alert. Who goes there??  Ah..it’s Mr G.  Tiger plays the gracious host and welcomes our guest. But the welcome is short-lived. Bunny appears and lets out a war-cry. Bunny is angry. As Bunny turns around,…

  • As things cool down at Bunny’s Place…

    Bosco was in the house again this evening. We had to chase him out as we couldn’t risk Cow and Bunny going bonkers again. Cow would go into a frenzy with heavy palpitation while Bunny would either take it out on the youngsters (Indy, Tabs and even Tiger) or work himself up until he gets…
