  • How Rey does the Stargate climb and jump (Spider-Rey)

    Finally, caught in the act! These two videos were taken last night and this morning. The descent was taken last night and the ascent this morning. While Rey does it at the rate of 10-15 times a day, we have not been able to take a video of it until we made the effort to…

  • Robin and Smurfy’s no-weight-loss programme

    I weighed them this morning! Robin gained a little bit of weight (hooray!) and Smurfy did not lose any weight (double hooray!). Robin was 4kg previously and is 4.2kg today (his ideal weight, according to the vet)! Smurfy was 4.65kg previously and is 4.75kg today! As long as both do not lose weight, it is…

  • Ginger, loyal friend

    Ginger is with Jayden whenever it matters. Sometimes, Ginger is sleeping in his basket and just before Jayden cries, Ginger is already there, beside him. How does he know Jayden is about to cry when I don’t even know? A: He’s the award-winning cat babysitter! B: Humans are dumb. Cats are smart. Take your pick! …

  • The effect of fear in cats (especially Robin)

    A long time ago, our senior vet told me that there are cases where cats starve to death out of fear. They are so fearful (usually of other cats) that they are too scared to eat. So for some cats, it may not be true that hunger will overcome any other emotion. Not fear. Fear…

  • Ginger-Longkang escapes undetected!!

    I don’t know how or when he did it. Our contractor was here today to tie up loose ends and help us with some minor repairs. So he was going in and out of the door, but he was very careful and would have noticed if a cat as big and bright as Ginger were…

    We have provided an aid for RM300 for the neutering of these 2 dogs and an additional RM200 is gifted by Ms Jasmine Ee. Updates on all previously-claimed dogs are below. Ms Tong works with Mr Wong Woi Kan in their CNRM efforts.

  • You do not want to mess with Cow Mau…or Indy

    This is a story about Cow Mau and it stretches over the past one week. Now that Stargate is open so that Minnie and her boys can go over to Bunny’s Place to eat serai and Heidi’s grass, the four boys do go over very frequently. Cow Mau has been very, very neighbourly, allowing the…

  • Such a compassionate and wise veterinary nurse!

    Kudos to you, Saudari!

  • The painting job is finally done!

    After four days of having to cart Minnie-5 upstairs every morning and then release them again in the evening, the painting of our exterior walls is finally completed! After the big clean-up yesterday, everyone was brought back down for dinner. Our super seniors also had to be confined in Bunny’s Room while the painting was…

  • The invasion of R2!!

    “R2” refers to Rey and Robin. Rey has been invading Bunny’s Place almost every morning. The first thing I see when I go to the kitchen every morning would be that Rey is there, in Bunny’s Place. How does he do it? How does he get across Stargate? It’s not an easy gate to climb…

  • Homemade catfood for Bunny & Indy

    Bunny and Indy do not agree with raw food anymore nowadays. Indy has his gastro-intestinal problems while Bunny has chosen not to eat raw. While raw food has natural enzymes to aid digestion, cooking also breaks down the proteins making it easier to be digested. I remember the advice of a holistic vet a long…

  • Another invasion!!

    It’s been very chaotic since yesterday. We are having our exterior walls painted and this includes the catio and Bunny’s Place too. I had initially wanted some parts of the walls to be tiled up (for the long term) but the contractor advised against it because of the massive hacking and dust problem. So it…

  • Ginger, the baby-sitter and baby-rescuer!

    It’s confirmed! Ginger is a baby-sitter and a baby-rescuer! And Jayden’s best friend. Early this morning, I was busy with the cats. By the time I had finished my cat-chores, I saw Jayden having already awoken. He was sitting up and was about to cry (only when he caught a glimpse of me, otherwise, he…

  • Guess who ventured up the cat tree?

    The platforms that lead up to the lookout is the “cat tree” (that’s what the company calls it). Can you see Minnie, Robin and Smurfy here? Rey and Lynx are still earthbound. All five are up! Guess who this is? It’s Tabs!!!!!!!
