  • Dogfood for Mdm Eng Geok Bee’s street dogs in Semenyih

    Mdm Eng Geok Bee feeds the street dogs in Broga and Semenyih.  Recently, she was introduced to us by a reader who requested dogfood on her behalf. I have spoken to Mdm Eng on the phone and we have fully sponsored RM375 worth of dogfood for her dogs. The brand is Combo Dogfood (20kg), which…

  • What is the Oscillot cat-fence?

    To all cat-owners who have escape artists, you may wish to check this out though it is not available here: http://www.oscillot.com.au/main/page_home.html Do you think it will work? http://www.thecatsite.com/t/247637/oscillot-cat-fence Our disclaimer holds. I think with Pole and Indy, I’ll just play it safe and revert to the conventional “fence” concept. No more nettings, I’ll probably use polycarbonate if…

  • Indy tries again…

    As the saying goes, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again…” “Don’t quit!”, we are often told. “Take up the challenge, don’t give up so easily!”. These slogans have been shouting at us since time immemorial. That being the case, how can we blame Indy for not trying again, right?  So, after…

  • Curbing the Spider-Cat (Steps 1 & 2)

    I was really at my wits’ end as to how to stop Indy’s escapades, so I called my friend, Cathy. She always gives me very helpful ideas. Here are some ideas: 1. Clip Indy’s nails short so that he cannot hook on to the netting. This is only a temporary measure as he still needs…

  • Indy’s escape – The Spider-Cat’s secret EXPOSED!!

    I waited patiently with Tiger and Bunny as Indy mooched around the garden. I just had an instinctive feeling he would try to escape again. It didn’t take long…  He jumped onto the lower shelf and looked up. (Indy is wearing a tshirt because he has a chest wound. The tshirt prevents him from biting…

  • Watching Indy like a hawk…

    When I came home today, I released Indy from the condo…  Mr G had come a-visiting…  I still think Indy used this escape route…but how?  Upon his release, Indy made a bee-line for the sidegate….to spy on the Patio Family.  I thought I should put his tshirt on. Maybe it will make a difference? But…

  • Bunny Bun Buns chases a cockroach! Shh…

    Poor Bunny…the paw must have hurt quite a bit, and being the “bunny” that he is, he didn’t dare step on his paw until….he saw a cockroach and “forgot” he was injured! I saw Bunny happily chasing the cockroach all over the room last night and yes, he was using all four paws! That’s good…

  • Trying to decipher Indy’s escape route and….he makes another escape!!

    So last night Indy slept in the cage. I just couldn’t take any chances of him escaping in the middle of the night. This morning I asked my husband where he found Indy last night. According to him, Indy was meowing at our bedroom door. So that confirmed my theory. It must be the Pole-Condo…

  • HOW did Indy escape?

    This morning, we went out for breakfast and thereafter to visit my parents. We must have spent at least two hours away from home. When we got back home and after awhile, my husband saw Indy in the side garden, mooching around the plants and he seemed very “frenzied”. Now, HOW one earth did Indy…
