  • Guess who came after dinner?

    Yes, she marched straight into the patio…as confident as….Tabs! It’s Heidi, folks! And it isn’t food that she wanted. She just wanted to visit. I’m amazed at her confidence, really. The only other cat who had ever displayed such confidence was Tabs. Out of courtesy she tasted a bit of the food offered, but really,…

  • RIP, Abang the Cat (Salina Abd Bakar’s)

    On 30th April, we helped to subsidise Abang’s treatment for a large wound on the side of his body. Ref: http://animalcare.my/2013/04/30/medical-subsidy-for-injured-cat-salina-abu-nasirs/ This evening, Salina wrote to inform us that Abang has passed away. We convey our deepest condolences to Salina for the loss of Abang. May Abang be in a happy place now. From: Salina Abu nasir <salina.abunasir@yahoo.com>…

  • Willy continues to improve

    The dinner dose of medication went well. I wrapped the tablets into two separate balls of wetfood and managed to pop it in. However, Willy spat out the Metronidazole twice. I guess this tablet must be really as bitter as the vet had cautioned it to be. All afternoon, Willy was quiet (settled, I hope)…

  • Dateline: Xalapa, Mexico – Mayoral Elections – Morris the Cat garnered 12,000 votes!

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2013/06/28/move-over-humans-the-cats-are-taking-over-the-world/ Read this, folks: http://www.kmbz.com/Thousands-Vote-for-Cat-in-Mexico-Election/16819040 An excerpt: The vote tally was nowhere near large enough to give this feline candidate the mayoral job. But it did place Morris fourth in a field of 11 candidates in the race to run Xalapa, population 420,000. Morris earned more votes than the candidate from Mexico’s most influential left-wing party,…

  • Willy aka Scruffy aka Spider-Kitty

    Willy is not as docile and scaredy as I thought him to be… I checked his food and found that he had cleverly picked out the piece of quartered Metronidazole (which I’m told is bitter) and placed it on the tray below. So, like it or not, I had to garner all my courage and…

  • Willy Day 2 (morning)

    I was undecided whether to try force-feeding Willy his medicine (like they do it SO easily at the clinic even on the most ferocious feline) or to just mix it with his wetfood.   I took the cowardly way out….and mixed it with his wetfood. Oh well, I cannot afford to get a bite since…

  • Things are looking up for Willy

    It’s past midnight, and upon checking, Willy had passed out a well-formed stool. Yay! He is also much more settled now and ate another two spoonfuls of ID. The vet said to give small amounts first and gradually increase it to half a can, twice a day (for his 3.15kg weight). Willy’s supper.  The well-formed…

  • Lester Hiew’s 3 puppies and 1 dog adopted!

  • Willy still has diarrhoea…

    Willy finally ate up that one spoonful of ID and I gave him a bit more, which he happily ate up too. However, there were traces of diarrhoea on the newspapers as well as one well-formed stool. The one piece of well-formed stool is a ray of hope that he is recovering.  Willy seems happy,…

  • The poll results on the Meatless tshirt….(drumroll….!!)

  • Taking Willy to the vet

    …was much harder than I thought it would be! I fed Willy an early dinner, and had already planned to catch him and take him to the vet because I’ve noticed him straining to defecate a few days ago, and his anus and scrotum looked very swollen. I thought he was constipating and had already…

  • “Heidi”, a member of Tabby Inc.?

    This morning, there was a huge aggression between Mr Zurik and Vincent at the patio. I had to shoo Mr Zurik out as he was making all the noise and I was really worried the neighbour might complain. When I went out of the gate to feed Mr Zurik and Willy, a Tabs-like little cat…

  • The Tao of Meow

    Shared by Cindy Hoong:  There are many kinds of rulers. The highest rule by virtue and their authority is invisible. Those they rule are unaware of being ruled. They may even believe that they are the ones who rule. The next kind rule by love, And those they rule praise and honor them. The next…
