  • Not for Daffodil’s eyes

    Watch this: https://youtu.be/SPioQRJfgEY (shared by Sumitra and Agnes) It’s quite hilarious, actually. This is good too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8LHKHyFYWw (we sort of did this 6 years ago when we moved here with our 7 cats – Pole managed to escape and later, Indy made his classic Spider-Cat escape. Finally, we resorted to using polycarbonate sheets). Did I hear my name being…

  • The dowager’s defiance

    It was raining very heavily just now and the dowager (by that, I mean Daffodil) was sitting under the neighbour’s car on the road, too proud to come back into our porch. I went out with a big umbrella to invite her back just as the rain started. She refused to even look at me. Just as she refused…

  • Daffodil’s great escape – exposed!

    So we asked Daffodil how she does it and she showed us. We took a video of the whole thing and it’s uploaded here (please scroll).  Not sure if you can view it, though. However, here are a series of photos that describes her easy-as-pie-you-dumb-humans escape.  In fact, Daffodil says it is so easy, it’s kind…

  • Found dog in Klang Bdr Puteri – ADOPTED!! (Kayatthri Nathan’s)

    Update: ADOPTED!! The original post: If this is your dog, or if you can adopt this dog, please contact Ms Kayatthri directly. Thank you. Today I’ve found a missing dog in Klang Bandar Puteri on a busy road… this male dog almost got hit by cars… He was too scared but running here and there ……

  • Madame Daffodil is back

    I sat out in the porch, waiting patiently for Daffodil to come out from under the car but she refused. A friend who has vast experience with cats, especially elderly ones, told me that with senior felines (especially females AND calicos), they live life on THEIR terms, not ours. So true… They will come back…

  • Stargate2, Part 2 (but it failed…)

    I would have happily written about Stargate2, Part 2 this evening, but I am really feeling very dejected right now, because it has failed to keep Daffodil in. I don’t know how she escaped, but she did. Here’s the story…(it was rather funny at the beginning, but it is no longer funny now). Part 2…

  • Indy and Bunny talk about Mr Zurik

    When Mr Zurik comes into the house, it makes a lot of cats upset. Daffodil gets scared and Vincent is wary of him too. So far, Mr Zurik has beaten up Cow, Daffodil, Heidi, Tiger and Tabs. He has also had war-cries with Bunny, Vincent (this lasted for a whole year when Vincent was trying…

  • Toilet-training the PatioCats

    We made a sandpit for the PatioCats but they decided they prefer somewhere else… Yes, they prefer this place, maybe because it’s more private and hidden by the palms. It’s Cow checking out the PatioToilet here. It’s a bit hard to scoop, but it’s okay as long as the cats feel comfortable doing it here.…

  • Daffodil’s great escapades (Spider-Cat Daffi)

    Yesterday, Daffodil decided to show me how she makes a great escape even though a chair is put on the tree trunk sink. She scaled Stargate2. Yes, Spider-Cat style – she scaled it. When I came home from work yesterday, I saw her reaching the top effortlessly and thereafter climbing onto the ledge. Then, she…
