  • Bunny is in a coma (not conscious)

    Bunny is unconscious. He appears to be in a coma. But he is peaceful and his breathing is steady. As much as you think you have prepared for it, nothing can prepare you for the event of losing a very beloved friend and family member. I am devastated. Bunny must have waited for Ming-Yi to…

  • Bunny could be having inflammatory bowel disease

    It’s been four days since Bunny came back from the vet’s and his condition took a turn for the worse. It was sometime around Chinese New Year when Bunny started showing signs of weakening and deteriorating.  Before that, it was up and down. But Bunny has been aging quite rapidly, getting more frail by the…

  • Bioresis for Bunny (and some steamed tilapia too!)

    I started Bunny on Bioresis (https://www.bioresis.com/) this afternoon. Many years ago, when Daffodil had a huge lump at her armpit, I also gave her Bioresis. I am not sure if the lump reduced in size as it could not be measured, but Daffodil was in good spirits all the way until her natural passing. Only…

  • Samantha shows me her buttocks

    It’s the Calico in her! Calico cats have “cattitude”. So far, all the Calicos we’ve had have this cattitude. Topping the list is none other than our present reigning queen, Cleo. Talk about cattitude, Cleo represents them all. Then, there was Suki, Rosie, Daffodil and now, Samantha. All Calico. All with cattitude. Samantha was really…

  • Bunny’s morning

    There’s been not much change on Bunny’s condition. But I’d like to thank my friend, Emma, for helping me by reading up ways to help Bunny. Emma is the one who reminded me about the drooping head syndrome needing potassium supplementation. Emma also reminded me that Bunny doesn’t have much fat now so he might…

  • Bunny this evening

    So as of tonight, Bunny has eaten FOUR cans of Cindy’s baby food today!! I always feed him alone, so there are no photos, but I got these taken by hubby this evening. Since there was no adverse reaction from the 1ml of Kaminox this afternoon, I gave him another 1ml this evening. The feeding…

  • Potassium and egg white powder for Bunny

    First and most importantly, I must convey my utmost gratitude to everyone who is wishing Bunny well. Thank you so much for your kindness. Second, a big thank you to my friend for reminding me that the drooping head could be due to insufficient potassium (I had not thought of this though I had read…

  • Samantha protests

    I think Samantha is staging protests on being confined upstairs. We had to give her her own room instead of opening up the bathroom doors to two bedrooms. The reason is also partly because Riley has her own SOPs and she simply HAS to eat in her room and use her litter box. So now,…

  • Samantha last night and this morning

    Last night, we had a bit of an episode with Samantha. I discovered where she was hiding so I slid a bowl of food for her in her hiding place and she finished it all up. Since coming inside, I’m not sure if she ate anything because Riley was with her most of the time…

  • Bunny’s morning

    There isn’t much improvement this morning except that Bunny could hold up his head for a little while compared with the past two days when all he could do was to lie down laterally. Bunny ate his one can of Cindy’s baby food (syringe-fed) and he did call me as usual when I fed the…

  • A homemaker and a dog-sitter

  • Gerald, our hero

    This is how fast cats detect the absence of a CNRM-cat. Gerald was inside our house for about two hours and another cat had already come to take his place in our porch. Imagine that. That is why we keep saying, removing an animal from the colony will only invite another animal to come in…

  • WHERE is Samantha?

    For the past two hours, I had the fright of my life. I could not find Samantha anywhere in the house. And I looked everywhere multiple times. I asked Riley where she is, and even Riley did not seem to know. I checked everywhere, over and over again, even the toilet bowls. It was absolutely…

  • Bunny’s evening

    Bunny had a whole can of Cindy’s baby food for dinner. There is no change in his condition except that he seemed a wee bit stronger this evening. He was able to push my hand away. But when I took him out to the garden for earthing, Bunny still could not stand up. He passed…

  • “Banana leaf meal” for Samantha

    I gave Samantha time to explore and finally, she went upstairs into Riley’s room to try to escape through the windows. Luckily this window is Minnie-proof. That should translate as “escape-proof”, I hope. I offered a new kibble, Cindy’s Holistic Babycat and Mother. I bought it in preparation for Samantha and her babies. She didn’t…
