  • Back to the litter box training (again) for the Blondies

    The Blondies’ litter box training took a few steps back during the past few days as I was spending all my time with Hiro. I guess it is going “okay” now and the remaining culprit for pee-ing outside the box is Indra. Indra’s pee spot is at the ottoman leg, so I put the chair…

  • Tabs and her kindest heart

    This morning, before we buried Hiro, Tabs stayed by his carrier. Hiro passed away inside his carrier, lying on the red blanket. Some things cannot be taught. Tabs has the kindest heart. Actually, so does Cow Mau.

  • A setback for WinWin (from Survivor Shelter)

    According to Ms Ong, WinWin blood PCV dropped this week despite having resumed the steroid treatment. But another more serious setback is that WinWin has been diagnosed with tick fever as well. From what Ms Ong understands, the treatment for IMHA conflicts with the treatment for tick fever. Ms Ong’s decision is to take WinWin…

  • Paying respects to Little Hiro

    Ming-Yi dropped in this afternoon to pay her respects to Little Hiro. Flowers from Ming-Yi’s house for Little Hiro. May your energy be free and one with Nature, Hiro!

  • “The Sky Goes On Forever”, a book about death for children

    This is the book that I wanted to share with you. It is an excellent book to teach children about death. In the past I have met parents who tell me that they don’t dare get pets for their children because “pets will die”. Well yes, the chance of us outliving our pets is high…

  • From stardust to stardust, Be free, Hiro!

    Jia-Wen brought Jayden over to pay his last respects to Hiro. Bye bye, Hiro.  Since Hiro is small, we decided to bury him in Bunny’s Place, where he did spend a few hours for the sunshine. It was also time to bury Bunny’s ashes. How do you teach children about death? Jayden is obviously too…

  • In loving memory of our Little Hiro

    Hiro passed away peacefully in his sleep early this morning. He was on the little red flannel blanket I had sewn for him. Totally at peace. We want to thank all friends and readers for your very kind prayers and wishes for Hiro throughout his short final battle with his illness. Please know that your…

  • Is it the fireworks, the eclipse or what? (Rey-Riley fight)

    There was a very loud noise in Bunny’s Room just now. It was definitely the sound of the water bowl being tossed somewhere. Hubby and I rushed in to find Rey running for his life, and scaling Stargate from Bunny’s Place back to Ginger’s Catio (yes, he can do both ways). Tabs was running back…

  • Hiro has stopped eating

    Hiro’s condition is deteriorating.  It is really sad but not unexpected because the prognosis was already very poor yesterday. He had some outdoor sun this morning. Hiro only ate on his own this morning. Subsequently, he has rejected all food. I force fed chicken liver soup with a syringe, some pasty foods and whatever I…

  • BARF – Updates (Joy’s Cats)

    Hi everyone! Joy here My cats are really a stubborn lot and so far (thank goodness), Pedro and Yasmin are BARF converts. I put the wet food and the BARF side by side with crushed Primal on top as a topping.  Everyone else ate the Primal and the wet food, and left the BARF untouched…

  • The huge and noisy Indy-Smurfy fight

    Ginger and the Monsters get to go over to Bunny’s Place to eat grass every day. This morning, a huge and very noisy fight broke out between Indy and Smurfy. I was talking on the phone when I heard the scuffle. By the time I rushed in, Indy and Smurfy were in a body-lock and…

  • Neutering aid for 2 dogs in Balakong (Tong Yut Fun’s) & Updates

    We have provided an aid of RM400 for the neutering of these 2 female dogs. Ms Jasmine Ee has gifted another RM100 to support Ms Tong and Mr Wong Woi Kan’s exemplary CNRM work. Updates on all previously-claimed dogs are below.

  • Good morning, Hiro

    Hiro ate a little bit of Cubgrub’s Rabbit and some Coco&Joe’s this morning. It took a bit of coaxing but he is eating on his own, which is a miracle. But he would eat and stop, then I had to change the location and he would eat again. Small amounts at a time. Then he…

  • Little Hiro eats…a little

    This afternoon, I made chicken liver soup for Hiro and to my surprise, he drank a little bit of it. This is so much better than previously where no food could attract him enough to eat it and he would just paw beside the bowl. I was pleasantly surprised. At least he is drinking something.…
