  • Meeting Rosie’s mum!

     Early this morning as I was feeding my outside clan, I spotted Francis and Mukda at the Cat Breakfast Pavilion. Francis is a consultant engineer, very busy running his own firm, but has time to do this every morning. He packs the food in paper packs and cleans up after the cats finish eating.  That’s…

  • The press conference on illegal trespassing by dogcatchers and other related issues

    The press conference happened today and we were invited to be part of the panel. Of course, we support the issue raised by MDDB, so I attended the PC.  It was full house.  A lady was invited to speak about her experience where dogcatchers entered her compound when no one was home and took her…

  • Raven’s minyak-ed condition

     Instead of using the baby oil, I was advised to use a vegetable oil. I also noticed Raven does lick the oil from her skin, so a vegetable oil would be safer. Anyway, this is my cooking oil.    I notice there is some improvement in her skin condition. It doesn’t feel as “sandy” as…

  • Oops, silly me….Ginger is male (and already neutered too)!

    A reader from the blog wrote to say she would like to adopt Rosie. I thought that would be a wonderful idea so that Rosie would finally have a home, but to be fair, I needed the feeder’s consent since he had been looking after Rosie even before I moved here. My other worry is,…

    From my last post: http://animalcare.my/2012/10/12/further-updates-on-the-puppy-with-the-inverted-rear-paws-kelly-tans/ until now, I have been communicating with several people (including vets) who may be able to help in this case. So far, every vet I have spoken to says it is possible to explore non-surgical methods but this is only based on the photos of the puppy. A physical examination is still…

    Ref : http://animalcare.my/2012/10/11/some-updates-on-kellys-inverted-paws-puppy/ This post is entirely written in my layperson’s understanding of what I have found out. Any error is deeply regretted and there is absolutely no intention to undermine anyone’s offer to help. Kelly’s vet has explained that there is an over-extension of the knee on both legs, thus causing the legs to bend…

  • Greetings from outside!

    This morning, after feeding the inside clan, I opened my front door, and found some friends waiting…  Rosie and Bosco were outside the gate while Raven was inside.
