  • Visiting Creamy and Gerald at the clinic

    I went to visit Creamy and Gerald this morning and brought them more food. Both are doing well. I just received a text from the vet and they can come home later this afternoon! I just have to cage them for another 3 days to ensure full healing of the surgical site. Both have already…

  • Riley Day 8

    Riley finished all her raw food last night. But this morning, she didn’t want raw food. Well, she knows there are other types of food, right? She ate a can of Monge instead. Her character is almost exactly like Tabs’. They ought to be great friends! Just like Tabs, the slightest unfamiliar or new sound…

  • Samantha is with Bushy…sigh

    Samantha is with Bushy now. Sigh. Neither of them would go away from each other. Bushy comes once in a while. He is someone’s pet and I peeped – he’s not neutered. He wears a collar but is rather unkempt. Has skin issues especially in the head area. I spend quite some time trying to…

  • Lost cat, Tiku, in Permatang Pasir Perdana, Melaka (Mathias Krope’s)

  • Riley ate a 100% raw meal!!

    Wow! This happened faster than I’d expected! Riley just ate a 100% raw Coco&Joe’s meal!! Now on hindsight, I should have just given her a 100% raw meal to start with. It might not even have been necessary to mix it with her canned food. When I did mix it, she actually did not finish…

  • New application rule effective 1st January 2023 – ALL neutered animals to be ear-notched (males and females)

    Starting 1st January 2023, to apply for our Neutering Aid, all animals (males and females) will have to be ear-notched. The ear-notch (either a V-notch or a flat tip) will enable easy identification of a neutered animal by sight. This will prevent the animal from being caught by any good samaritan and be brought to…

  • A note to scientists!

    And it would be an infinite quest because human stupidity IS infinite. Even the Universe isn’t anymore!

  • Cheeto (aka Kalel) came this morning, Gerald and Creamy are fine!

    I’ve renamed Kalel “Cheeto”. It’s much easier name to pronounce! Cheeto came early this morning. He’s the mild-mannered looking ginger cat who was sighted with Creamy the other day. I am not sure if Cheeto is male or female, but I guess he is male. 80% of ginger cats are males. There was a lot…

  • The 5 (or more) common types of tabby cats

    Well, we must first say that we aren’t being “racist” here. Cats are cats, but it is just a fun fact to know that there are various types of tabby cats. A cat expert once told me a long time ago that once the cat has any stripe at all, they are tabbies. Or, it…

  • The al-Attabiyya cats – do you have them?

    What a cool name!! The tabbies!  The word “tabby” originates from the Persian word “al-Attabiyya”! Read about it here: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/how-tabby-cats-get-their-stripes

  • Riley Day 7 – is she making mating calls?

    I’m not sure if Riley is making mating calls. It doesn’t sound like the usual “ngiow” sound, it’s more of incessant mewing. But to begin with, Riley is quite the vocal cat. She has always been the one making loud mewing sounds to alert me that she and Samantha were at the front door. Samantha…

  • Riley, Samantha and Kalel (renamed Cheeto)

    This evening, Samantha came down from the neighbour’s roof to eat in our porch. Shortly after that, the mild-mannered ginger cat came. That’s the one who came the other day with Creamy. He has a white triangular patch on his chest. Mild-mannered with a triangular patch on the chest? Who does that remind you of?…

  • Creamy and Gerald (aka NottyG) – neutered and waking up!

    Besides taking Cow Mau to the vet’s, I also brought canned food to the clinic for Creamy and Gerald. I was hoping to see them after the neutering, but the procedures were delayed at the clinic. After Cow Mau’s consultation, it started to drizzle and I also did not want to keep Cow any longer…

  • Cow Mau to the vet’s

    Cow Mau has been having this brown discharge tearing from his eyes for more than 2 weeks now. Normally whenever he has it, I would give him Maximus Ophtal and that would solve the problem every single time. Well, it did not this time. So off we went to the vet’s. But before that, Jayden…
