Mr Zurik comes for his last day of medicine!
This morning, I heard the sound of cat growling in the wee hours of the morning. That woke me up and you know how it is, once you go back to sleep, you’ll wake up late, which was precisely what happened after that! By the time I got out to feed the Patio Family, it…

Who is (actually) obese?
So we know that one way of determining whether your cat is obese or not is to look from above while the cat is standing and see if we can see an “indentation” at the abdomen. Let’s see… We’ve been debating on whether Bunny is obese or just stout… I told my vet that Bunny…

Mr Zurik sir, just one more day to go…(and I’ll be home free!)
This evening, Mr Zurik came for an early dinner, which is good, because it means I could give him his antibiotics earlier too… There was some growling between Vincent and him in front of the gate. I had to intervene to stop it. Vincent watches. Mr Zurik ate his antibiotics (mixed in wetfood) and then…

Day 9 of Mr Zurik’s course of antibiotics
Mr Zurik was waiting at the patio, sitting on Timmy’s chair this morning. He jumped down when I brought out the food and he started intimidating poor Vincent. I carried Mr Zurik back onto the chair to eat, but he jumped down. He wanted to be with everyone else, I guess. I’m watching… Timmy quickly…

Cleo makes the snack call…and everybody gets!
Bunny & Friends are very smart. They have a system going. And this refers to the snack calls. They know who to send to make the calls. If they want a snack from my son, they send Bunny. If from my daughter, they send Cow. If from me, well…anyone would do. Maybe Indy? But if it’s from…

Please ONLY use standard sized (WHITE) envelopes with 60 sen stamps, keep to the deadline, use the correct address, etc.
Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/12/08/please-use-standard-sized-white-envelopes-60sen-stamps/ I have to repeat this again as I have been getting application forms posted in non-standard, non-white envelopes, sometimes with less than 60 sen stamps. This will result in: 1. Me, the recipient, getting taxed. 2. Your mail arriving late because you did not comply with the requirements of Pos Malaysia. Postal charges is…

Frontlining the Patio Family
If you remember, the vet said Mr Zurik had a bad ear mite infestation and he was “Advocated” right after he was neutered (while still under anaesthesia). Unfortunately, I have a phobia of using spot-ons. This time, I opted for the time-tested Frontline. After all, Mr Zurik did not get any burn spot with Advocate.…

A night visitor at the patio
I waited all evening but Mr Zurik did not appear. Neither did the shrews. Just when I was about to call it a night, I looked out in the patio and… Hmm…Timmy is not on his chair. There’s a tabby sitting there. Must be Vincent. Wait…it’s not Vincent… Oh gosh…hey, it’s Mr Zurik! Wait, Mr…

Animals Rights vs. Animal Welfare – which side are you on?
Read on: http://www.care2.com/causes/animal-rights-vs-animal-welfare-which-side-are-you-on.html Or, are you on the middle path, which also isn’t wrong! I read another article, I think it was by Norm Phelps where he classifies it to “Animal Welfare” (includes bigger cages, humane slaughtering and euthanasia) and “Animal Protection” (protecting them and ensuring no harm comes to them). And how about Animal Equality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av22cRQNBiQ (Peter…
