  • Unplanned Acquisition: The Story of How H*tl*r The Cat Came into My Life

    Hello, it’s Mas here. Most of the times, cats come into our lives in unexpected ways. This is the story of how ‘H*tl*er The Cat’ came into my life. Her name is H*tl*r (can’t type in full). Got that name mainly because of her misai kontot and her stern personality with other cats. The story of…

  • Survivor Shelter says goodbye to one of their oldest dogs, Bernard

    Ms Ong already told me that Bernard had not been eating much for the past few days. Her trusty worker informed her that Bernard passed away at 12.30pm yesterday, of old age. He wasn’t sick. Just old. Bernard was 12 years old. Ms Ong rescued Bernard when he was 7 months old. According to an…

  • The Blondies are FREE!!

    The door was open yesterday! The Blondies were very cautious and not exactly excited to explore…yet. Big Sister Riley was on hand all the time to guide them. The Blondies seemed rather contented to stay in their room. It took them the next day (which is today) to start exploring. All have come downstairs to…

  • Missing Hiro

    It has been a few very busy days since Hiro passed on, with various people writing to ask for help. In the midst of all the busyness, I still think of Hiro very often and he is deeply missed. I bought this for the Blondies because initially they did not have a cat tree. But…

  • Guess who jumped over Stargate this morning?

    Another cat jumped from Ginger’s Catio to Bunny’s Place today. Guess who? You don’t have many choices, really: Ginger, Robin, Lynx, Smurfy and Minnie. Rey is already a permanent feature at Bunny’s Place all the time. So, out of these five, who did it this morning…effortlessly? Was it Ginger? Was it Smurfy? Robin? Lynx? None…

  • About the Blondies and Samantha

    Every morning, no, every time I enter the room, I’m greeted by hissing from Samantha. The hissing and animosity has increased with each passing day. Clearly, she isn’t happy being confined. Samantha is still feral, despite having lived in the room since 27th January 2023 when I caught her so that she would have a…

  • Gerald is fairly well-behaved

    Gerald did not yowl continuously. Actually, he barely yowled. What a good boy. But he did cough, though. Significantly lesser, so I’m really hoping the medicines are working. Two capsules (containing 4 types of medicines) and a syringe of Vetri DMG. He messes up a little big in the cage, but that’s okay. I won’t…

  • Claw-some or Claw-ful? Navigating the Ins and Outs of Cat Scratching Behavior

    Claw-some or Claw-ful? Navigating the Ins and Outs of Cat Scratching Behavior

    One of my cats, Kam, is a beautiful feline who loves to start her day with a good stretch and scratch session on the rug (with the intention to destroy it gradually). But why do cats scratch, you may ask? There are several reasons for this natural behavior, as follows: 1. Shedding their nails: Cats…

  • The Blondies’ litter box training lessons

    There is some progress in their litter box training. I see more urine balls and poop in the litter boxes now. But one kitten is still doing it outside the box and I suspect it is (still) Indra. But the moment I let them out of the room to roam the entire house, will they…

  • Milky and Cash to the vet’s (news from Survivor Shelter)

    Ms Ong sent news that she had taken two dogs to the vet’s for treatment. Milky has been to the vet’s three times now for her swollen leg. Her condition is improving. Cash had a bit of fever and is not eating too well.

The group claimed Kim, who is neither a president nor a lawmaker, should maintain neutrality as the role of…

  • Gerald has a rod bacterial cough

    There is no public holiday for animal caregivers. Gerald started coughing three days ago. Initially it sounded like he was trying to dislodge something from this throat. I thought he had eaten something and it had got stuck in his throat. But he was eating his food well so I left it at that. When…
