  • Happy Wesak 2020!

  • Why Indy is always out

    Do you remember Ginger reporting to Indy the other day that there is a “new kid on the block”, referring to Smurfy? So now, every day, Indy sneaks out at lightning speed from Bunny’s Place to the patio. He says he is there to “help” with the latest “situation”.

  • Another great rescue (from Soi Chee)

    My friend, Soi Chee, who used to be a dog-person, has now become quite the cat-person! Here is another rescue from her, or rather, from her domestic helper. Soi Chee’s story: Lately cats have been entering  into my life , no idea why and how …they keep coming to me. I rescued a few ……

  • Tabs joins Minnie and Smurfy for meals

    For some strange reason, Tabs stopped eating at the kitchen and prefers to eat with Minnie and Smurfy out at the patio. It was an even bigger surprise that Tabs wanted Coco&Joe’s – she never touched it before, but just because Minnie and Smurfy are eating it, she just took to it, without any need…

  • Pole’s eating dilemma

    Pole has not been able to eat back her staple diet of Coco&Joe’s ever since she was diagnosed with gastritis. She has been eating canned food with Primal sprinkles. I still haven’t given up, though and I’m still trying all sorts of ways to transition her back to 100%, if that is possible. So I…

  • Tanam jagung!

    Now, this one I will say is all by me. Yes, me, the one with “killer” fingers as far as plants are concerned…. I did not expect them to grow, but they did!!! Now I have to transplant them onto the ground…that is going to be a challenge….

  • Ladies fingers!

    Our part-time cleaner, Sara, planted “something” in our garden. She said it was some vegetable, but did not tell me what it was until… We chanced upon this! Ladies fingers!!! I cooked it yesterday! Hooray!!

  • More baskets and air-cont for Minnie and Smurfy

    Minnie and Smurfy’s condo has more platforms and baskets now. But Smurfy’s favourite is still the hanging blue basket. Today was exceptionally hot, so the condo got wheeled into the house for some air-conditioning. A luxurious life by our human standards, but for Minnie, I think she’d be happier sitting in a drain outside! Smurfy…

  • Minnie likes the hanging basket too!

    Minnie and Smurfy take turns using the hanging basket! We will make another one for them tomorrow.

  • Rocky B’s updates

    Do you remember Rocky B? His owner went back to India and left him behind without an owner. Rocky B was living in the workplace, but there was a biting incident, so the workplace did not allow him to live there anymore. The rescuer, Ruzila, contacted us. We advertised for adoption, and a kind samaritan responded…

  • Pole’s diet

    I’ve been trying every few days to introduce Pole back to a 100% raw diet, specifically what she loved before, Coco&Joe’s, but I have not been successful. It’s strange, though. Pole has been on 100% raw for YEARS. How couold she just decide she doesn’t want to eat raw anymore? All because of the gastritis?…

  • Smurfy’s new hanging basket

    Take a look! This afternoon, husband went out to get this basket and made this hanging basket for little Smurfy! And he loves it! And while Smurfy is enjoying his new hanging basket, Minnie is doing jungle gym (or, exploring ways to escape). Minnie likes the ladder. I’m really hoping that the contractor can come…
