  • Vincent’s progress

    I think Vincent is feeling much better today and the pain has reduced. Grooming himself after breakfast. He came back this morning and ate his breakfast. Now, I don’t mix any of the medicine or supplements in his food anymore as he is sensitive to the smell. I mix it with the Nutri-gel and rub…

  • Something new in Bunny’s Place

    I’ve always wanted to have a (sort of) cat tree in Bunny’s Place. It has to be something natural, of course. A real tree, preferably. But not too tall lest Indy or Pole use it as an escape route to get out. So our best bet was to…well, plant a tree. We have a frangipanni…

  • Vincent’s stomatitis condition (and progress)

    This morning, Vincent ate his food and there was a bit of difficulty giving him his medicine. I tried to open his jaw, but he pulled back. This means it still hurts. We decided caging him was causing him much stress and we did not want him to have a negative perception of being caged,…

  • Vincent, safe for the night

    I was a little apprehensive about leaving Vincent caged up at the patio for the night. My worry is what if he needed to defend himself or run for safety and is trapped. This worry also came about because late last night there was a huge rat in the garden in Bunny’s Place. I am…

From: Octopus Pinky Date: 2016-03-05 12:40 GMT+08:00 Subject: Re: claims – sterilization To: Chan Kah Yein <chankahyein@gmail.com> hi, ​dr chan 很感谢你的回复，我真的不会用你提供的照片编辑软件 只好用手机的。而且我很难捉​着它们拍照，尤其雄性那只。 所以拍得不大漂亮。希望你们可以接受。以下是我与猫的故事： ​在2003年，我搬到puchong居住，那时隔壁家是没有人住的。 那些流浪猫一早就在那边住了。 我和妈妈猜测应该是前屋主留下的。 我们觉得很可怜就开始喂养它们。 开始的时候大概是有4/5只猫。 这13年里面，来来去去的(打架跑了，病死了) 一直到今年过年前我是有23只。它们没有打过针的。 实在太多只，我不知道怎样付那笔钱。我问几个兽医 那么多只猫可以便宜吗？就是没有一个有同情心的！ 每个都是要钱而已！做绝育手术也是这样。一分钱 都不打折给我。所以一直拖了那么久都没有去做这个手术 每个兽医都会口说一定要打针和做绝育手术。 我说我是23只不是3只。我也知道这样对它们好， 但是这是一笔很大的费用。我从来不明白，为什么 做绝育手术和打针要如此的昂贵。兽医学会没有控制的吗？ 那么昂贵的费用，就算是遇到 有心人要带野猫去打针和绝育，也会付不起这些费用！ 这边就说繁殖到很多野猫，那边就收费高。…

  • Vincent’s stomatitis, to the vet’s again

    After the steroid injection on Sunday, Vincent returned twice on the day itself for his meals, so I thought there was already progress. However, yesterday, he only came back to eat once and thereafter, he did not return and we could not find him anywhere as well. This morning, he came back for breakfast but…
