  • Busy morning, big day today, and Zurik eats two breakfasts!

    Last night I was a bit worried about Mr Zurik as I am still unable to tell whether his breathing is “laboured” or not. I took a video and sent it to the vet to ask if I need to bring him in today. Zurik also coughed last night. Therapy Tabs was immediately at the…

  • Zurik’s meals

    I think the Vit B Complex works. Zurik seems to be a bit more interested in eating today. No stand-off with Ginger today, but apparently there was one with Heidi. But here they are, eating in the kitchen. Zurik ate AD today, on his own too. The vet said if I wasn’t sure whether his…

  • Mr Zurik’s breakfast and more about the FIP

    Mr Zurik spent all night on the sofa. He didn’t come upstairs. Last night, he ate at the patio. His favourite food is Monge kibble, so that’s what he got. On a side note, Zurik has been eating Monge kibble all this while and it was only lately that I started to train him to…

  • Feeding the Cow Clan

    Indy hasn’t had his raw liver for weeks now, so I thought I’d give him a treat this morning. This is the assorted food for the Cow Clan. I know which is for whom. I’ve managed to get everyone back to eating Cubgrub now, but sometimes, they need a little variety. Bunny has a fair…

  • Mr Zurik’s portraits

    I stayed with Mr Zurik all night to help him acclimatise to the new environment of being inside the house. I let him choose a spot where he is comfortable and he chose the sofa. It’s good that he was able to find a spot very quickly, and he’s not hiding. He still has his…

  • Mr Zurik has FIP

    There is no cure.  It is terminal. It is one of the most dreaded diseases in cats, but it normally happens to young kittens. So, Mr Zurik’s case is considered “uncommon”, according to the vet. We started noticing weight loss around January this year. There was also a loss in confidence and gradual loss of…

  • Indy’s first home subcut – a “success”

    Here are photos of Indy’s first home subcut, done this morning. I decided to use Ming-Yi’s bedroom upstairs because downstairs has too many distractions. Indy…!! Yes? You called?  We are doing this so that you will feel better, okay?  Just relax…. Lift skin, needle in…okay, not as thick-skinned as “DragonBunny”. Haha… He fidgeted all the…

  • Vegan film viewed 55,000 times after Aussie protest

    The protest was on the horrendous cruelty in factory farms. It wasn’t to force people to give up meat. There are sources of meat which do not originate from factory farms.   However, to get people to give up meat from factory farms is still a very uphill task.   If only slaughterhouses had glass…

  • Getting Indy to drink more water

    According to this article: https://www.preventivevet.com/cats/how-much-water-cats-need-tips-for-preventing-dehydration, Indy (5.2kg) should drink about 9 ounces of water daily, and that would be about 270ml, which is quite a lot! Assuming he gets half of that from his wetfood (based on the article), there’s still another 135ml more to go. I think that’s doable. Being such a hot day today,…

  • What Bunny wants, Bunny gets

    Ever since the “wall” came down (that would be the netting on the grille), the boys have taken back the room. Cow is always beside me on the table while Bunny gets the wooden chair.  But today, Cow got the wooden chair. Bunny: Who has taken my chair?? But I want my chair…. You cannot…

  • Indy’s diet and water intake

    I was very concerned about Indy’s increased creatinine readings, so I did some research today by speaking with two vets. The first question to be answered would be this: What is creatinine? The answer: Creatinine is a waste product that comes from the normal wear and tear of the muscles of the body. Everyone has creatinine…

  • Bunny eats serai

    I planted these for Tabs, but Bunny likes it too. Serai is really good for them because it helps to expel hairball. Tabs and Bunny love serai! But we cannot plant serai in Bunny’s garden because the boys’ spraying kills the plants.

  • Her Royal Majesty’s private dining

    Cleo’s habit is to eat “far away” from everyone else. She is back to eating her Cubgrub. That is good. The vet did ask if we are doing the “fish only” diet but I think it’s not possible at all. Firstly, Cleo doesn’t like cooked food and fish has to be cooked. Cats cannot eat…
