Month: September 2023

  • Why is naughty Akira in the house?

    This is not a trip for pleasure. Akira is inside the house because Indy is having his meal (at his own crazy time – Indy doesn’t eat with the rest of the cats, he demands for food whenever he pleases, like at 3am in the morning!), so I have to isolate Akira from it. Otherwise,…

  • Thank you very much (September 2023 donors)

  • Oh no…another new pair of fighters, Rey-Lynx

    Rey never used to be a fighter at all. Not at all. And least of all, Lynx. When the rest of them or any other cats fight, Lynx actually distances himself far, far away from the war zone. Rey and Lynx were both very peaceful cats. Why, when Rey used to go over to Bunny’s…

  • Gerald and Misty’s devotion to each other

    Sometime last week, Gerald was “missing” for breakfast and if you remember, I wrote about how Misty came but simply refused to eat. She was definitely hungry, but she would not eat without her best friend. Luckily after a few hours, Gerald came back so the two had a good belated breakfast. This morning, I…

  • Crocodiles escort fleeing dog to safety in India

    The news: https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/south-asia/article/3235924/crocodiles-escort-dog-safety-india-stunning-scientists Was it done out of empathy? Compassion? Or, as the experts opine, the crocodiles were too full to eat again or have had a previous bad experience trying to eat a dog? Now, which is it? I think only the crocodiles know!! Whichever it is, it ended well – the dog was saved…

  • Indy’s crazy meal times and the new inter-catio fighters

    Why am I up at 3.30am? It’s actually been a daily occurrence. It’s due to Indy’s crazy meal times. He doesn’t want to eat with the rest for reasons only known to him and him alone. So he demands for food at the oddest hours. Yes, like at 3.00am. Or worse, at 1.00am when you’ve…

  • Making neutering compulsory for getting dog licenses – good, but…

    The news: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/leisure/2023/09/27/make-neutering-dogs-a-requirement-for-all-states-govt-told/ Following the announcement by Negeri Sembilan, animal activists are calling for all states to impose neutering as a condition for the issuance of dog licenses. Yes, it is a good move. But… How effective is the enforcement going to be? How will the authorities check if household dogs have licenses? Are they going…

  • Jayden and Ryan’s safari viewing sessions and Riley’s grand escape

    If we have no time to accompany the boys out to the catio to play with the cats or to the front porch to feed Gerald, Misty and Creamy, the boys bring their stools and watch from inside the house! This is Jayden. He placed the stools there so that he can sit and watch…

  • Ciao Churos for feeding supplements and medicine

    I used to use Cindy’s pureed canned food for feeding medicine to the difficult-to-pill cats, namely Cleo, the queen with the golden mouth. It does work pretty well except that I only need a little bit each time so once a can is opened, the longest it can last in the fridge is just four…
