Good boy, Rey
It sure looks like Rey’s application for permanent residence status in Bunny’s Place has been approved by Bunny et al. He climbs over every single day without fail and practically lives in Bunny’s Place. However, when it comes to lunch time (the Seniors and Super Seniors have lunch, but the Juniors only eat twice a…

Thank you very much (September 2022 donors)
It’s time to thank all supporters and donors for their generosity and goodwill. Donations have dwindled, and understandably so since times are bad now. If donations continue to decrease, we may have to consider the option of reducing our food aid since the food aid had always been a stopgap measure to channel excess funds…

Jayden, Ginger and cat instincts
There is no doubt that Jayden’s best friend is Ginger. Jayden saying hello to Minnie-5 through the screen door. Jayden hatching a scheme with Ginger on how to let Minnie-5 into the house. You know how it is that cats just know when you are going to return home from a grocery-trip out about 5-10…

Jayden misses Ginger…so much!
Ginger went for his dental surgery yesterday but by the time he came home in the evening, Jayden had already gone home for the day. So this morning, Jayden was back here again and here’s his “reunion” with his best friend. Jayden to Ginger: You are my best, best, best, best friend! Jayden even tried…

A short story – by Jayden

Home-cooked cat food and the importance of taurine
I just wish to share something I learnt recently about the importance of taurine in cat food. Cats need taurine and they get it from their food. It is particularly important for heart health. From Google: Taurine is exclusively found in animal-based proteins. It is critical for normal vision, digestion, heart muscle function, to maintain normal…

Ginger’s cyst and dental surgery
Today was Ginger’s dental surgery. Jayden wishing his best friend well before we departed for the vet’s. At the vet’s, it is their protocol to do a heart scan (an ECHO) on geriatric cats (above 7 years old) before the cat undergoes general anaesthesia. Ginger passed his heart scan with flying colours. An ultrasound was…

What’s cookin’?
What’s cookin’ here, folks? It looks totally harmless, right? It’s like Indy and Ginger are best of friends? WRONG!! A fight it about to break out, but I intervened and stopped it before it happened. Indy and Ginger absolutely cannot get along. AT ALL. But over there, Ginger is reigns supreme! He is everyone’s favourite…

Tabs’ priceless present
It’s been 3 days since Tabs had the inappetance and we started treatment for it. The X-ray showed a “mass” in her stomach which the vet said was something she ingested and she has to pass it out. Well, the magic happened today. She passed out a lot of stools! She did pass out some…

Do I HAVE to share?? (Cleo’s complaint)
Cleo is not big on sharing. She’s the queen and she takes whatever she likes. She snatches and steals from others (isn’t that what queens do, ya?) and she doesn’t like to share. But nowadays Rey has chosen to live in Bunny’s Place. He comes over every single day and if we put him back…

Robin’s spooky Saturdays
Every Saturday, Robin gets spooked. We think he is spooked by our part-time cleaner, who, by the way, absolutely loves cats. What’s with Robin and her? It must be a case of a lack of affinity, somehow. So ever since the first Saturday when Robin refused to eat and was holed up in his condo…

Where is Ginger?
No, he did not escape to become a longkang-cat! Two days ago, I spotted Ginger on one of the platforms on Stargate2. It’s the first time he has ever gone up. Or rather, the first time I saw him up there. Then this evening… Wow! Ginger is on the highest platform – the lookout itself!…

Best friends
Jayden: I’m so lucky to have a best friend like Ginger!
