  • Spaying sponsorship for 1 female cat (Noora Bt Rosli & Friends’)

    We have fully sponsored RM100 for this case. Noora and her friends are university students and they have taken up the task (and joy!) of CNRM-ing the cats in their area. Kudos to them!

  • Products that are not tested on animals

    Hi folks, as a follow-up to the post from PETA on refraining from using products that are tested on animals, here’s a sharing from me on what I use at home. As far as I’m told, Amway products are not tested on animals. We use LOC for practically every sort of cleaning purpose and Dish…

  • Are you paying for animal testing? (from PETA)

    This is from PETA: Are you paying for tests on animals? For many compassionate people just like you, the answer could unintentionally be yes. Right now many unsuspecting consumers are purchasing products from companies that continue to conduct cruel—and entirely unnecessary—tests that will cost countless animals their lives. This includes some corporations that have publicly…

  • Mr G returns…with a vengeance?

    I had not seen Mr G for quite awhile ever since Bosco and Raven “took over” our front porch as their territory. But every night, I would hear a huge cat-fight outside on the porch. I am quite sure it would be between Mr G and Bosco. Oh well, we can’t blame the old man.…

  • From Rosie’s Diaries

    Dear Diary, My name is Rosie and I was born in this community. I was spayed sometime last year. I think it means I won’t have any babies anymore, which is fine for me, because I see tiny kittens dying on the road or not having enough food to eat and their poor mothers (like…

  • So early?

    After a much needed one-week break from classes, the semester resumes again this week and my mornings begin before sunrise. Of course, as always, all 7 of my cats will be waiting at the grille and they wait with eager anticipation of what food I’d be bringing in for breakfast. Oh…home-cooked today? Well, okay….We’ll humour…
