  • The cartoon that broke Morrisey’s heart

    This is from PETA:   Here is the link to the cartoon that broke Morrisey’s heart: http://www.peta.org/features/morrissey-opening-act/?utm_campaign=052314&utm_source=PETA%20E-Mail&utm_medium=Alert I don’t normally want to watch these videos because I know it will break my heart, but I have to watch something before I post it, so I did. At 30 seconds, your eyes will start to get wet.…

  • Bunny at breakfast

    Bunny’s appetite is as usual this morning – good. I didn’t detect any fever either, which is good. I gave him Vetri DMG and Transfer Factor. The good news is that I cannot find anymore soggy mass around the wound. The wound looks like it’s healing too. Of course, I sprayed the pet spray on…

  • Ultraman to cheer Bunny up

    Not that he needed cheering up as Bunny seemed so “selamba” (I cannot find an English equivalent for this word!) about his wound, but I thought a toy would be good for him. So I rubbed some silvervine powder on Indy’s Ultraman pillow and… As always, Indy would go a dog-down pose before his Ultraman…

  • Bunny has a 0.5cm wound

    This afternoon, at about 4pm, I noticed pink droplets on the floor in the room. It was puzzling and I didn’t think of checking the cats. The droplets were not bloody; just pinkish liquid. There has been vomiting going on due to hairball inside and outside, so I brushed the droplets aside thinking it could…

  • Purrfect Bistro Healthy Weight (aka “weight control”)

    When Merrick’s Purrfect Bistro was first introduced to the Malaysian market in October 2013, all our cats had a go at it: http://animalcare.my/2013/10/24/a-new-petfood-in-town/ Their response then was lukewarm so I went back to other brands. Lately, they grew tired of the existing brands, so I thought I’d try Merrick again… I bought this last month. Decided…

    This is Pole’s condo. She lets her daughter, Cleo, stay in the condo and when she does, Pole will take the penthouse. But lately, Pole has a new “throne”… Can you find Pole? Now? Yes, she is on top of that big cushion and she loves it! It does amaze me that Pole is a…

  • Have a healthy and compassionate Friday!

    This isn’t about going out to the streets to rescue a puppy or a kitten. It isn’t about choosing the best adopter for your rescue. It isn’t about nursing an injured animal around the clock or administering subcutaneous fluids on a kidney-failure animal. It is ONLY about eating less meat OR eating no meat today…just…
