  • What’s so interesting in the litter box, girls?

    What’s so interesting in the litter box, girls? A cockroach!!!! Smurfy joins them!

  • The subcut sessions

    Nurse Indra is on duty, as always. Thank you very much for helping, Indra. Can’t possibly do it without you!

  • Cow Mau and me

    I seldom get photos taken of myself and the cats because I’m hopeless at selfies and wefies. So I got Jia-Wen to take these: Cow Mau gets to come out to Tabs’ Safehouse with the Blondies. The other day, he wanted to go up on the bed to guard Jayden. Aww… Taking care of others…

  • The hardest cats to feed

    At Bunny’s Place, they are Kai, Akira and Indy. Kai is always too busy hunting. Too busy that she has no time to eat. Ever since administering the transdermal Mirtazapine, she has been eating at every meal. But how long will that last and I certainly do not want her to depend on this medicine.…

  • My new taiji cats

    Our first taiji cats were Heidi and Zurik, both of whom have left us now. Now, our new taiji cats are Gerald and Misty! This is the traditional Yang 85 with the added technique of do-it-without-stepping-on-the-cat!

  • The Blondies’ family portraits

    The Blondies have completed taken over the bed. Awww… I think in time to come, Indra will be as big as Samantha!

  • Creamy the bully

    There is still some bullying by Creamy. Hopefully in time, Gerald will not be so scared. But just take a look at Creamy now. He’s so big, compared to what he was last December when I first caught him to be neutered. Such a skinny scallywag at that time.

  • Dogs must be neutered to get licenses in Negeri Sembilan

  • Indy eats!!!

    After months of having no interest in food (except kibble, occasionally), Indy’s appetite came back right after one subcut. Just one. I had been handfeeding (it is actually force feeding) Indy for months now, not knowing that the inappetence was a sign of kidney disease. he had no other symptoms. He wasn’t dehydrated at all…

  • Gerald is back!

    Yesterday was indeed a worrying day. Gerald did not turn up in the morning at 6am. He only came at 7.30am for breakfast. And again, he did not turn up for dinner until very late. The problem is, Misty refuses to eat by herself. I think she was worried about Gerald. My husband says maybe…

  • Please eat, Kai

    I’ve been quite worried about Kai not eating very much. Sometimes, she will skip an entire meal because hunting and playing are more important for her. I’ve asked the vet about this, and she says it’s quite normal for kittens to prioritise playing instead of eating. Last night, I applied some Mirtazapine on her inner…

  • Astro Oil’s Renal Care Package for Indy and Cleo

    I have used Astro’s Oil Renal Care Package before. It was for Pole and I must say that it gave Pole 4 more months of quality life where she was as normal as any other healthy cat. But we all know that chronic kidney disease is a progressive terminal illness and there is no turning…

  • Please, please consider palliative care for service and search & rescue dogs

    It is extremely sad and heartbreaking when we hear of service dogs and search & rescue dogs being euthanised. Every animal is entitled to live out their natural lives, but service dogs, in particular, are heroes who have served humanity. They did not ask to be service dogs – it wasn’t their choice. But humans…

  • Cow Mau in the house

    Spot Akira and Indra in the background? Since yesterday, I’ve opened the door so that everyone from Bunny’s Place can come over to Tabs’ Safehouse to play. After exploring, they still feel more comfortable going back to their own place.
