  • Evening news from the Patio and Bunny’s Place

    Whenever anyone visits after 3pm, you can be sure Willy will somehow turn up at the culvert. It is as though he is hoping I will come out when I see our guest off and I would notice him. I did, of course and he had his yoghurt dinner at 4pm today. Later in the…

Nyeh heh heh!!!…

  • Snow White comes back for supper

    Snow White came to the patio after dinner this evening, but she was too afraid to stay and ran off when I tried to offer her some food. But I guess hunger got to her and she came again, half an hour ago. This time she stayed and did not even flinch when I poured…

  • Lab-grown meat?

    Just saw this from PETA: http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2013/08/05/taste-testers-love-first-bite-of-lab-grown-meat.aspx?utm_campaign=0813%20E-News%20Lab%20Grown%20Meat&utm_source=PETA%20E-Mail&utm_medium=E-News More about this: In-vitro meat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_meat For: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2013/08/10/would-you-eat-lab-grown-meat-maybe-you-should/ Against: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/jasmijn-de-boo/lab-grown-meat_b_3730367.html However: For many vegans and vegetarians, the precise method of lab-meat production is crucial in making a decision. The meat eaten Monday in London came from cells that were harmlessly extracted from living cows. Those cells, however, were then grown using fetal bovine…

  • Willy returns, Snow White visits and Mr Zurik escapes!!

    There are three stories in this post. Where should I start? The first part is about Willy but there are no photos for Part 1 of this story as I wasn’t carrying my phone/camera and protecting him from Mr Zurik was definitely more important than running back for my phone. But I wish I had…

  • The Foie Gras assembly line and other atrocities….so, do please eat less meat

    A friend sent me a youtube of the Foie Gras assembly line, not something anyone of us here would want to see because I know our readers are all animal lovers and do not need to be reminded of the horrendous and atrocious cruelty prevalent in the meat industry. So let’s promote our “Go Meatless…

  • The orange bricks

    During the four days that Willy went missing in action, I would go out of the house at every half hour interval to look for him and each time, I would hope I’d see him at three possible spots – near the fire hydrant, at the steps or at my culvert. The first spot I’d…

  • Yoghurt for Willy

    A friend came to visit and saw Willy’s buttocks. She said her cat had the same problem and the vet advised her to give Nestle’s unflavoured yoghurt. Her cat healed and the faeces was “nice” again. Only use Nestle’s, the vet had said, as it seemed to work. So I thought I’d try since it…

  • The big fight! And defusing it with a diffusion!!

    No, it wasn’t between any of my titans with anyone, but it involved Timmy! Timmy?? Timmy Tum Tums? Mild-mannered Timmy Two Bowls got bullied? Poor guy… Yes, Timmy…but he didn’t get bullied. Timmy was the aggressor! Yes, you read that right – Timmy was the aggressor!! For the past few days, fights had already been…
