  • Spot the mesdames!

    Did you know that the plural of “madame” is “mesdames”? I didn’t….until now! Anyway, we have two madame-cats at the patio now, ie. Daffodil and Heidi. We’re going to ask you to spot them in these photos… You see Rosie, Ginger, but where is Daffodil? Here!! This next one is a lot harder… You see…

  • A quick-and-easy meatless meal

    Step One: See what you have in your little vegetable garden. Taiwan kau-keh….good stuff. The vege they put in otak-otak. Can do too. (Can someone please tell me the name of that vege!!) Basil and curry leaves. Yes, can do as well. Now, as you cut the young stems of the vegetable plant, immediately replant…

  • Otto the tight-rope walker and Indy the Spider-Cat, and…

    Otto the Shrew is a regular visitor to Bunny’s Place, especially in the evenings. In fact, he is so agile, he even manages to get to the pantry and nibble on all the remaining kibbles without being caught by the 3 titans, Tiger, Tabs, Cleo or Pole. You’ve got to give credit to the Shrew…

  • Dinner at the patio

    Nowadays, it’s not Bunny’s Place making the dinner calls but the patio. At around 4.30pm, the Patio Family sends a representative to call for dinner. And since the call is made, Bunny’s Place is awakened and they too want to be fed. At Bunny’s Place, there is not much of a problem when it comes…

  • On a Wednesday morning, and would anyone like to adopt Heidi?

    The morning started with the horn-locking ceremony at the patio. This calls for… ….my brand new Daiso water-gun! The Russian quickly runs for cover behind Mr G. “Berani kerana benar”. Vincent stays put. Hooray! Rosie runs into the house to escape the war outside. The original Patio (Orange) Family runs in too. We are peaceful…

  • And a little kitty life is saved (a sharing by a reader)

  • My new water gun

    We’ve bought at least 3 water guns and all are broken now. Either the cats pushed them down and the plastic cracked or they just started leaking. Then, I had a brainwave, why not just use a normal ironing spray? The type where you can adjust the nozzle to let out a thin sharp shot…

  • Catnip, anyone?

    You know we’ve been selling (by donation) the catnip seeds donated by Chen? Well, we’ve sold the last of the packets, and I haven’t managed to grow mine (sobs), but Connie offered to grow it for me and…  Nice, yes? So far, the patio cats haven’t shown much interest in it. Heidi, for example, slept…

  • Willy – back to normal

    Willy was not at the patio this morning… Tabby check: Heidi is here, Vincent is here, Mr Zurik is not. So I go look for Willy… ….and find him across the road, at his telephone pole, looking scared (as usual). And why is he scared? This is why. And Fear Factor followed me quickly into…
