  • May Kitty Orange rest in peace (a sharing by Siti Azura Juih)

    Azura wrote to me last week regarding medical subsidy for this kitten she rescued from her neighbourhood. We informed her that we will definitely subsidise the case and to go ahead and do everything possible to save the kitten’s life. Azura did. The kitten was treated, subsequently discharged but shortly after, passed away. As Azura…

  • After the fight…

    Half an hour after the fight, I went to check on everyone… Daffodil and Ginger had decided it’s much safe to stay on the sofa. Rosie is independent and not afraid.  The loving mum grooms her son.  We had long concluded that Ginger is the younger son and Rosie is the big sister. He’s very,…

  • A visitor…for Starry??

    It’s all so coincidental, I was just telling my mother (who dropped in today with a batch of keychains) about Starry and Willy Orange, how they both appeared when a neighbour moved away. And how Willy had just “disappeared into thin air” after appearing with Starry for a few days. We haven’t seen Willy ever…

  • Timmy, the good guy

    Amongst the Patio Family, if we were to vote, Timmy wins hands down for being the most lovable and obedient cat. He’s just very, very grateful that he has a place to stay now and doesn’t have to hop from blue dustbin to blue dustbin at the playground. This chair is his “house”.  Hey Timmy!…

  • Why are these people crying? (from PETA)

Every Saturday night, volunteers Jennifer Mennuti and Boyd Weidman screen PETA’s “Factory Farming in 60 Seconds Flat” for passersby on Miami’s busy Lincoln…

  • It’s a non-venomous “wolf snake”

    Many, many thanks to everyone who is helping me identify the snake that the cats brought back. My friend consulted a herpetologist who is doing her PhD and here is what she says: The snake is Lycodon capucinus or wolf snake. Feed on geckos, small frogs and very common even inside offices if situated near…

  • It’s a python, not a cobra

    Sobs….no photos, just the reply from the Wildlife Dept (this is regarding that dead snake the cats brought back yesterday): The snake pictured is a reticulated phyton /phytus reticulutus  (or ular sawa batek in Malay). It is a non-poisonous snake and not dangerous to human unless it is big one. It doesn’t look like a “normal…

  • Sobs…was it a cobra?

    There are no photos in this post, so you can read on without fear. Yesterday, we found a dead (already hardened) snake carcass in the patio. We figured the cats must have brought it in as a “food offering”: http://animalcare.my/2013/03/21/34752/ So far, three sources have identified it to be most likely a cobra. One source said…
