  • There goes my trump card (Vincent’s stories)

    This morning, my Recovery trump card did not work anymore. Vincent had already lost interest in it. I think Vincent is displaying a sort of “hypomanic” behaviour in eating. He would go crazy over one type of food but the “passion” would only last, at most, 2 days. Then, he doesn’t want it anymore. But…

  • Recovery…there goes my trump card! (Vincent’s tales)

    I was keeping the can of Recovery as my “trump card” and not using it until all else fails. Well, all else failed today. Vincent came asking for food, but none of my options worked. So I had to use my trump card – the Recovery. Vincent eyes literally lit up the moment I opened…

  • The games we play

    Yesterday, while we were waiting at the hospital for my appointment, we were so bored, so Jia-Wen, who was at home at the time, sent us these games through whatsapp! We have 6 cats who have some white fur (Cow, Bunny, Pole, Cleo, Indy and Ginger).  Above is a photo collage of 5 of them. …

  • Vincent’s breakfast and more on his blood test results

    This morning, Vincent didn’t want his cut-up raw meat anymore (of moderate size). So, what did he want now? Well, he ate a bit of Monge and a fair amount of Cubgrub! I’m so glad he is willing to eat Cubgrub now as it’s nutritionally balanced (Dr Lisa Pierson’s recipe). I just hope he will…

  • Zurik comes back for lunch; why Ginger walks with a limp

    It didn’t take long for Zurik to come back. He came back for lunch. That’s Ginger watching him from Stargate2. The two used to be the very best of friends. Now, not so. By the way, there was something else which the vet noticed and felt in Ginger today, at the clinic. I told the…

  • Vincent eats, but….(blood test results)

    Right after we brought Vincent and Ginger home, I had to go off for my own doctor’s appointment. I’ve been having this back pain since the end of March and it’s been worsening. It was a very, very long wait at the hospital so by the time we got home, it was about 8pm. By…

  • The capsule failed, off to the vet’s again (Vincent’s story)

    The capsule failed miserably this morning. Vincent fought it off, spat it out twice and it was a struggle. It only took him half a day to figure out a winning strategy on the capsule. Sigh… He also didn’t want to eat anything this morning. The most alarming thing was that his weight (taken this…

  • The big Ginger-Zurik fight and Ginger to the vet

    In the middle of last night, Mr Zurik came into our bedroom through the bathroom window…again. My husband carried him down and left him at the patio with Ginger. He didn’t want to put Zurik back in the porch because he might just come through the bathroom window again and we would have no sleep…

  • What are you doing, Heidi?

    Why are you in the kitchen sink, Heidi? She was licking up water droplets in the sink. Cats do the strangest things, don’t they? There is a fresh bowl of water, but she prefers to lick the kitchen sink!

  • Hooray for capsules! (about Vincent)

    What a complete ass I’ve been…why hadn’t I thought of using capsules before this? AND suffered so long in trying so hard to pill Vincent? Capsules work! They really do. All I have to do is to cut up any tablet into tiny pieces so that the pieces can be stuffed into the capsule. I…
