  • Looking for Vincent Starr

    Normally, after a traumatic experience (such as going to the vet’s coupled with having one’s paw dipped in a warm saline bath and being forcefed medicines), a cat might run away from home for a few hours, if only to teach his human a lesson for giving him so much undue stress. I went out…

  • Now, Vincent Starry to the vet’s

    This afternoon, we went to visit one of our Food Fund applicants, but that story will come later because after the visit as I reached home, I found Vincent Starr limping.

  • Of Indy Joneses, Spider-Cats and dopplegangers!!

    Oh no!!  Has Indy escaped again??!!!  Catherina sent these photos, from Melaka. I must say, the resemblance is almost uncanny!  It is a street cat at a Melaka food stall and she’s female. I assure you, it’s not Indy and that he has not teleported elsewhere, because Indy IS at home right now…. There, our…

  • Rosie goes to the vet

    Last night, Rosie came back with a bleeding spot right under her mouth. I cleaned it up, applied iodine on it (of course she licked it all up) and thought it wasn’t anything serious. She ate as usual so I really thought it would be nothing…until this morning when I mentioned it and a friend…

  • Visiting Guthriephant, Raisin and Billie

    We were in Selayang to purchase dogfood yesterday, so we dropped in to visit Andy Lew and Emily. If you remember, they adopted Baloo and Baggy from me and gave both a wonderfully happy life.
