    We were alerted to two cases this evening. A person in a Hilux was seen dumping a box of many kittens on the street somewhere in USJ resulting in the kittens’ deaths. We urge eye witnesses to make a police report. Photos of a dog on a chain being dragged by a lorry in Serdang…

  • How goes the litter box training for the Blondies?

    In one word – FAILED! I took this cute photo during yesterday’s feeding. “The family that eats together, stays together.” Oh, I must share how I am feeding Samantha her Doxycline half-tablet daily. It is impossible to open her golden mouth. It is even impossible to touch her. So, I crush the tablet into powder…

  • Peace at last….at Bunny’s Place

    With the new Stargate installed, it’s Rey-proof!!!!! At least everyone can eat peacefully now, without Rey appearing to smack them from behind. Everyone is happier too now that the intruder is barred from free access. Rey appealing for reinstatement of his free access? Sorry, no. You were given every chance to behave and you chose…

  • Gerald nicked my finger

    But luckily it’s not my pilling finger. I was pilling him today and he didn’t like it, so his claws came at me, and nicked my middle finger. Immediately, a blob of blood was seen and my entire arm felt paralysed. I couldn’t even move the arm at all. It was at least 15 minutes…

  • Did Rey run away from home???

    Right after the contractor left, it started raining and quite heavily too. We also had a new part-time cleaner today, so everything was in a bit of a mess, with the contractor and the new cleaner. But the contractor was very aware that no cat must escape when he opened Stargate2 to take his materials…

  • Elton, Malaysian local kitten, meets the kindest tourists

    This is a must-read, folks! It was on 17th April 2023 that Ms Thea Haynes, a tourist from Europe, first wrote to me seeking help for a little stray kitten whom she had found in Kota Bharu while travelling there. Thea was hoping that would be some way that an animal organisation in Kota Bharu…

  • Indy gets back his cage and why we must never take away his cage again

    We lent out Indy’s cage to Gerald for more than four days. During this time, Indy was visibly and definitely depressed. So depressed that he sat far away in the old shoe rack and didn’t want to eat. I didn’t think it had anything to do with the cage until we gave him back his…

  • A new bamboo scratchboard for Tabs and Riley

    Joy told me about this bamboo scratchboard, which can be purchased from Shopee. Knowing Tabs, she will share it with Riley. For sure!

  • Gerald is released

    Gerald has almost recovered from his cough. So I released him from the cage two days ago. He comes back for meals every morning and evening, so feeding him the remaining course of antibiotics and other supplements is not a problem at all. He and Misty are permanent features in our porch. With Jayden. Eat,…
