Riley, Riley, Riley…
I really did not want to resort to this. Sigh… But I guess I have to try…whatever works. So here goes…. Ginger’s carrier….there’s a bowl of delicious tuna and sardines at the end. Won’t you step into the chamber, Ms Riley? Delicious food awaits… Half the body goes in… But folks, I’m not going to…

How I caught Mr Quack and Mr Zurik
December 2012 – Mr Quack was the neighbourhood feline terrorist. He had harmed Ginger and was terrifying all our CNRM cats except Daffodil. Even we humans were terrified of him. So I had to catch him to be neutered. I had Plans A, B, C and D. Finally Plan D worked (carrier with a ribbon).…

Riley came back!
There was a huge thunderstorm this afternoon. Then, after the rain, Riley came back to the porch to wait for food. That’s good. She even came inside the house to eat, but she’s very cautious of me now. Sigh… Cats read minds, so how do you block off your mind waves so that the cat…

Thank you very much (November 2022 donors)
Thank you so much to everyone for their kind donations and support for our work. We made two food donations to Survivor Shelter this month because of the rainy season and the difficulty for Avant Pet’s lorry to access Survivor Shelter (the bridge leading into the shelter is completely damaged) and it is also difficult…

A major setback with Riley…sigh
Everything started off so well this morning. Riley ate breakfast inside the house, as usual. Later, Samantha came and she ate another breakfast with Sam. This close. I thought I was achieving lots of progress with Riley. Later, she came again to ask for food because Samantha had snatched her food in the second breakfast…

Best friends forever – Ginger and Smurfy
When Smurfy first came to our home, he was only a 3 month-old street kitten. He looked upon Ginger as a father figure. The two bonded and became the best of friends. In fact, Minnie also fostered a bond with Ginger. After being away for 1.5 years, Minnie and her boys came back to our…

Closer, closer, closer…
During the thunderstorm this afternoon, Riley completely disappeared. But after the rain, she came back. She ate two cans of food this evening and I was able to sit on this brown mat with her while she ate. She ate part of it inside the house but preferred to go back to the porch. Jayden…

The Catio Gang: Minnie-5 and Ginger (guess Robin’s weight!)
With so much attention lately on Bunny and Riley, here’s some updates on Minnie-5 and Ginger. Rey, making a rare appearance at the catio. Why rare? Because he practically lives in Bunny’s Place despite all attempts to stop him from going over! Remember, Humans – 0, Rey -3 ? How does Rey do it? I’ve…

Small progress with Riley
Riley slept on our shoe bench last night but later, she disappeared. This morning she was waiting right outside our front door at 4.30am. My attempt now is to sit on that purple stool while she eats. I managed to! She wasn’t very hungry this morning. Granted, she had a buffet dinner last night!! I’m…

Caught Riley…
It was purely by chance. Riley came to eat inside the house this evening and right behind her was Creamy. Creamy too was trying to get into the house because I think he was attracted by the canned food. So while Riley was eating, I had to close the door. I was afraid Creamy would…

Introducing a new protein to Little Riley
I introduced rabbit protein to Little Riley and she liked it. This is Monge’s Monoprotein Rabbit. Lepak time with Little Riley! Samantha came to eat twice today. I asked the chief guard if he has seen Samantha’s kittens anywhere and he said no. So I trust the kittens are safe. He did say he would…

And the cat came home! (Tips for finding missing animals)
Yesterday, a neighbour from another road sent out an alert for his missing tom-cat, Whisky. Whisky had been missing for four days. So I shared whatever I knew. Besides the usual methods of (a) alerting the neighbourhood chatgroup, (b) leaving flyers at mailboxes, pet stores, vet clinics, coffee shops, etc., (c) posting the alert on…

Good morning, Riley
Closer, closer… I think Riley either comes to our house very early or she spends the night here. Here she is, this morning, eating her canned food, at 4.30am. She is still treading very cautiously, which is typical of female felines. She ate the food and went out without exploring the surroundings. I’m trying to…
