  • Vincent, the Jungle Cat (for today)

    Today, the same thing happened again for breakfast. Ginger chased Vincent away. Sigh…I haven’t figured out how to stop Ginger from doing this yet. So, Vincent decided he’d hide in a bush instead of under the car. I placed his food (for this morning, it’s Monge, Primal and Go!) near the bench where he has…

  • Go, Vincent, Go!

    Vincent got a surprise and a treat this afternoon. All the PatioCats came to the kitchen waiting for lunch. All, except Vincent. He was under my car in the porch. I had a feeling that perhaps Vincent is tired of the same food (even though I do vary the food for all three meals in…

  • Why do children do such things?

    As you know, Mr Zurik follows me to the playground daily when I go there to do my exercise. This morning, I was a little late as I was coping with trying to get Vincent to eat. When I finally got Vincent to eat, I was already quite exhausted but I still didn’t want to…

  • Can cats eat if all teeth are removed?

    Feedback from cat owners whose cats had to have a full dental extraction: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/242032/will-my-cat-be-ok-if-his-teeth-are-removed According to one of the threads here, sometimes stomatitis could be an auto-immune problem. It’s just so hard to determine what Vincent’s problem is. For example, this morning, he wanted to eat, but Ginger chased him away. Then I could not find…

  • Pink Hello Kitty Blanket – an offer

    Ms Ooi donated the Pink Hello Kitty cloth to us and requested that we make a blanket out of it with a simple border, so we did. Now, Ms Ooi has made an offer – if anyone would like to purchase the blanket for RM300, Ms Ooi will top up another RM200, making it a…

  • Vincent’s latest treatment plans

    Three days ago, Vincent refused to eat…again. The nightmare is starting all over again – his stomatitis is back. We’ve tried many things for Vincent and looks like none of them seem to be able to solve the problem. I googled up on feline stomatitis and this site (http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2012/02/06/dr-becker-discusses-feline-stomatitis.aspx) says: Sadly, the kindest option for…

  • Cow’s spraying spree

    Cow must be really, really happy that he is well (from that scary bout of FLUTD a few days ago). To show how happy he is, he’s been spraying a lot for us to see (that his urine is all clear)! I’m never going to complain about Cow’s spraying ever again! It is far better…

  • The “dog pack” myth (train with rewards, not with pain)

    The full article: http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff-nation/assignments/should-dangerous-dog-breeds-be-banned/14915115/The-dogs-are-pack-animals-myth I also don’t mind dogs walking first through doorways. I do like to teach them to wait first just so I can make sure there is nothing on the other side that could startle the dog and cause them to react. But once I deem it safe then, sure they can…

  • Lessons in compassion from an old dog

    The full story: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dogster/how-an-old-dog-taught-me-_b_3369301.html The diversity of dogs you meet in this line of work surpasses the differences I’ve encountered among humans. It teaches you a lot about patience and compassion. Whether a dog’s quirks are the result of an owner’s neurosis or simply a personality trait of the canine, you can’t say, “Now, Miss Smith,…

  • Gorgi’s story (a stray dog who walked into a police station)

    Here’s the whole story: http://www.hypedojo.com/a-stray-dog-walked-into-a-police-station-and-youll-never-guess It all started one afternoon last year, when a stray dog named Gorgi just showed up at a Puerto Rico Police command center in the city of Bayamon. The officers who were working there were amazed by how affectionate the stray dog was, in spite of hints that he didn’t have…
