  • The week begins again…

    This morning began by feeding Bunny & Friends, then the Patio Family and this time, I locked Mr Zurik in the cage (with two latches secured, checked twice too….and the Shrew Squad was NOT around, at least not as far as I could see.) net nikakogo sposoba, vy mozhete izbezhat’, Mr Zurik!! 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…

  • Patchwork blanket – the online bidding begins!!

    Tadahh!! My mum has finished the first patchwork blanket for our experimental online bidding system! Here is how it works: 1. Six readers have “ordered” the blanket so they will be informed first, in chronological order, and given the opportunity to make the first bid. If they decide to pass, the opportunity will be given…

  • 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…

  • Mr G’s friend comes over

    I guess Mr G’s owner also left Snow White to roam freely while the family balik kampung for Hari Raya. My daughter, Ming-Yi, says Snow White has been going into her room to explore. And I have seen Snow White these past few days too. Poor Snow White is pregnant again. I guess her owner…

  • If you have cats and extra wirenetting….

    This is what you can do…. Make a wirenet cushion for them. Our cats LOVE it! This is another case of serendipity (an accidental discovery). We actually rolled up the wirenetting and left them around as “tunnels” for them to play with, but that didn’t last. Then,the cats flattened them and turned them a cushiony…

  • Making human-cat connections

    Aunty Joy came to visit today. The cats took to her instantly. Cats know. They are “empaths”! Ming-Yi is back for the weekend and the cats are enjoying the added attention and playtime.  Cow is always the happiest when Ming-Yi comes back because she’s his human!

  • Updates on the community animals (from Dawn Tan and Serene Lai)

    These are some of the community animals looked after by Dawn Tan and Serene Lai whom we’ve had the privilege of helping in 2011 and 2012. Really happy to know that they are well and happy living in the community. From: Dawn Date: Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 4:47 PM Subject: Updates on our community furkids…

  • Fostered feisty kitty, Jojo, adopted! (from Connie)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2013/07/18/newborn-kitty-on-her-way-to-her-foster-mum-cat/ Ref: http://animalcare.my/2013/07/18/updates-on-the-feisty-kitty/ Connie informed me today that the fosterer has decided to adopt the little kitten, now named Jojo! Yay!! I have informed the vet and he is really grateful. He says quite a number of stray kittens (dumped at his clinic) have died because they contracted disease while being at the clinic. This is…
