  • Controlling hairball in cats

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/10/27/new-stuff-for-the-brood/ Thank you for your comments on the issue of hairball control in cats. I remember a case where a pet-cat of a vet had died of hairball too. The vet did ultra sound imaging, X-Rays, etc. but could not find the cause of the discomfort in the cat. It was only after the cat’s…

  • New stuff for the brood

    Today the brood got 3 new things.  A pink hammock for the cold weather (but nobody has used it yet).  Trying out a new litter.  This is particularly for Pole and Cleo because both have a major hairball problem. But Joy said wheatgrass can help, so I’m doing to plant that as well (please wish…

  • Aunty Joy visits (from Tabs’ Diaries)

     Aunty Joy paid us a visit today. She’s really nice! Look, she even knows how to greet us cats.   She must be super nice ‘coz even Cow lets her touch him. Aunty Joy volunteers at the Ipoh SPCA. Even though she has moved down here now, she still goes back to Ipoh to help the…

  • Raven’s yellow tshirt

    This morning was particularly cold.  Last night, my husband and children went shopping and brought this back for Raven.  So since this morning was really cold at 5.45am, I put it on for our feisty little girl. As always, she’d sit on my lap first thing in the morning before going for her food.  But…

  • An alert from PETA (on animal testing)

    We have always spoken up against animal testing as it is one of the most cruel industries on earth. What’s more, it is often unnecessary and unreliable too because it does not make sense to test our human products on animals. We are biologically different. With the advancement of science, there are already other methods…

    I may need to find a home for Snow White. (Snow White is probably one of the back neighbour’s many cats.)
