Month: September 2023

  • The dark coloured drinking bowl

    Our vet was right! Riley and Tabs do prefer the dark coloured drinking bowl. On the second day, I was still putting the white bowl next to the brown bowl and Tabs went for the brown bowl! Now, I’ve removed the white bowl.

  • Cleo and Indy to the vet’s (starts on Darbepoetin injections)

    Today was Cleo and Indy’s appointment which is the check-up after 10 days of being on the CKD regimen. The result, in short: Cleo has maintained her readings while Indy has shown improvement. I was really hoping both would have shown improvement, but Cleo has been having CKD since September 2019 so she’s been living…

  • Our black-and-white warriors of the Brotherhood

    Here are portraits of our very senior black-and-white warriors! Hey, Brother Cow… My liege…(I bow down low). Senior, but still our unbeatable warriors of the Brotherhood! Warriors, yes, but both have a heart of gold!

  • Indy’s doppleganger or….?

    This is a photo from MunMun’s Furry Sanctuary, taken yesterday… Check out the black-and-white cat in the background… This one. Oh no!!!  Is that Indy??? The markings on the face is uncannily similar, right? But…aha, Indy has a tell-tale classic “ink heart” on his body. Do you see it in the picture below? It’s the…

  • The nurses on duty at subcut

    Today is Indy and Cleo’s check-up after 10 days of doing this CKD regimen. They have been on increased subcut fluids, Renal-N and Astro’s Oil’s Fish Oil and Nitrogen-Creatinine Scrub. Let’s hope there’s good news later. Meanwhile, where are the nurses for this session? Here they are!!!

  • Reaching out to feed street animals with surplus funds

    Way back when we first started in 2009, we had a Food Aid which provided petfood for street animals through their feeders. But this ended after five years in 2014 because we discovered abuse and cheating, which was indeed a very sad phenomenon. Then, in October 2018, we had some surplus funds so we restarted…

  • Jayden and his No. 1 best friend, Ginger

    Ginger is the cat who Jayden grew up with when he was a little baby. Now, Ginger stays in the catio at the side of our house with Minnie and her Monsters (her four sons) who hero-worships their Uncle Ginger too. Ginger looked after them when they were young, from the day they were born,…

  • An oral drug is available for FIP now

    We are probably slow to the party, but we just found out yesterday that an oral drug is now available for FIP cats! Previously, there was no treatment and FIP was a death sentence for cats. Then, came the injectable GS 441524, initially a controversial drug and had to be purchased through the black market.…

    We have provided an aid of RM120 for the neutering of this cat, Cantik. Updates on Gemuk (neutered and vaccinated) are below.

  • A treat for JoTong and Uncle Wong’s Balakong street dogs

    Tong Yut Fun (JoTong) is our TagTeam member and she started off as an applicant to our Neutering Fund. I soon roped her in to be in our TagTeam because her CNRM work is truly amazing and exemplary. [Our TagTeam currently has 4 members (including me). Should anything untoward happens to me, the TagTeam will…

  • The dog-human conflict in India

    The news: https://theprint.in/opinion/india-can-resolve-dog-human-conflict-like-us-and-netherlands-without-killing-the-canine/1772686/ The last paragraph: In the typical fashion for economists, we conclude by proposing both short and long-run solutions. Long-run changes are structural, involving education and changing attitudes towards private property and responsibilities. Of course, these changes take time. In the short run, regardless of which side of the street dog issue one is…

  • Riley’s new dark-coloured drinking bowl

    Riley urinates at the downstairs bathroom drain hole, so I’m able to note the colour of her urine and even syringe it up to collect it. I’ve been a bit concerned that her urine colour is a tad too yellow. So I collect some two days ago to show the vet. The vet said it…

  • The Super Seniors’ snack time

    Cow Mau has a great appetite and his super senior status entitles him to get food whenever he asks for it. Now, Cleo’s appetite has improved too, so she also demands for snacks, which is really a good thing. It’s a bonus today when Indy too came for the snack! But when the Super Seniors…

  • Getting Indy and Akira to eat

    Getting Indy to eat involves serving him where he is. Usually he isn’t hungry enough to come down from wherever he is to join the rest. So sometimes I need to climb up to where he is, on the platforms. It’s the same with Akira and also Kai. I have to chase after them to…
