  • Kenyataan media DVS: Haiwan Kesayangan (anjing dan kucing) BUKAN penyebar virus Covid19 kepada manusia

    Terima kasih, Jabatan Perkhidmatan Veterinar Malaysia. “Walaupun kejadian jangkitan Covid19 pada manusia amat tinggi namun kes dalam haiwan kesayangan adalah terpencil kerana haiwan kesayangan didapati tidak boleh dijangkiti secara semulajadi. Sehingga kini, punca jangkitan haiwan adalah daripada manusia.” “Pemilik haiwan kesayangan mesti mengamalkan kebersihan diri dan keperluan kebajikan haiwan tidak diabaikan.”  (Trans: Although the incidence…

  • Surat terbuka kepada Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan Malaysia, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, berkenaan kenyataan tentang haiwan dan corona virus

    Kepada Datuk Dr Noor Hisham yang dihormati, Kami telah mengikuti laporan harian Datuk dan amat mengakumi serta menghormati segala yang Datuk sedang lakukan untuk menyelamatkan Malaysia.

  • Indy bullies Ginger

    Indy escaped again today, to the patio. And he decided to pick on Ginger. Cats have incredible patience and persistence. After half an hour, he is still staring at Ginger, trying to annoy him. Until he went overboard, put his paws up and screamed at Ginger. That’s when we took him back to Bunny’s Place.…

  • Our weekly subcut sessions

    A friend asked if I could share share how I do the subcut for our cats (namely, Cleo, Pole and Bunny) so I took some videos. I’m not a vet, so this may not be the best or most correct way to do it, but I’ve been doing this for sometime now, and so far,…

  • Indy does it again (hypnotism in action)

    He did it again this morning! First thing in the morning, eating with the Kitchen Cats at the window sill. Then… Indy: What about me? Why aren’t you feeding me?? Hahaha…You’re not getting away with it this time, Indy. I took a photo. See? I took a photo of you eating just 10 minutes ago.…

  • Waiting for Minnie and Trixie, and a reflection on One-Street CNRM

    I bought a small bag of Iskhan kibble because I figured it would be more practical to leave a bowl of kibble outside the gate for Minnie and Trixie. Kibble won’t spoil as fast as raw food. So I waited this morning while I did my taiji in the porch. Trixie did not turn up…

  • The dogs have the last laugh!

  • A mascot-tshirt for Ginger!

    Husband suggested I put a tshirt on for Ginger in case he is cold at night. We already let him stay inside the house at night (not the patio), but he has got so used to patio that he would find ways to sneak out and sleep on the chair in the patio every night.…

  • Ginger’s nebulization progresses daily

    It’s progressing very well. Ginger loves it! He’s always been envious of Pole, Cleo and Bunny because they have subcut sessions regularly and he doesn’t. Well, now, he has nebulization every single day for the total of 20 days! As the vet remarked earlier on, Ginger puts his nose at the outlet and sniffs the…

  • The great MCO-violator escapees and their capture

    This morning I was suddenly awakened by a strange loud sound. I had been exhausted and sleeping very late for the last few nights because of the preparation of e-learning materials for my work. But my husband shouted, “Heidi has escaped!!” I jumped up and realised that Heidi was on our roof!  The stainless steel…

  • Indy’s hypnotism (cont) and other stories

    I’m way behind in stories, so let me start from yesterday morning’s. The day began with…. …Indy eating at the window sill with the Kitchen Cats. Then, it was the Cow Clan’s turn… Indy: What about me?  You’ve just eaten, Indy, don’t try to fool me… Indy: No, I haven’t. Look into my eyes….. Indy:…

  • Petfood Donation: Helping street animals during the MCO-crisis

    Here’s what one person and her friends did for street animals during this MCO-crisis.
