A fulfilling breakfast for the Blondies today!
This is a rare occasion for the Blondies at breakfast today! No one ran off preferring to play than eat. Everyone actually came to the pantry to eat!! No one decided to do intermittent fasting too. Kai was hungry!! I half-expected Akira to take a sniff and run away to play (her usual behaviour), but…

Super Senior caring for Indy and Cow Mau
I have a new supplement regimen for Indy and Cow Mau now, so I get up earlier in the morning to do it. For new readers, Indy has Stage 3 CKD and chronic gastro-intestinal issues while Cow Mau has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a risk of it leading to CKD. So Cow Mau does not have…

Jayden leads the way with his heart of gold!
Jayden was taking his nap and had just woken up but was still not fully awake yet. Normally, when little children wake up in the evening, they tend to be a bit grumpy. So I lay beside him and told me that I would soon have to feed Gerald and Misty in the porch as…

Riley’s sneaky eating habits and Kai’s intermittent fasting
Riley is a junkie. There’s no other word to describe her but that. You would think that she would continue eating raw food after I easily converted her to it? No, not true. Riley came from the street, if you remember. She was following Samantha around on our street, so she came to our house…

Babysitter Tabs
As a babysitter or as a toy? Definitely as a babysitter, because Tabs is terrified of Jayden being too rough these days! Jayden knows Tabs’ name and wants to play with her, but he is way too rough!

The huge Indy-Smurfy fight and the Monster Brotherhood!
Indy has a lot of bite left in him. Just now, I suddenly heard the sound of war cries. I was sure no Monsters were left in Bunny’s Place this morning, so who is fighting who now? Maybe the Monsters are fighting amongst themselves, which happens once in a while when the stars are out…

And the Monsters came over…
Led by Ginger, Robin, Lynx, Rey and Smurfy came over to Bunny’s Place to eat grass today. Indy wasn’t very happy, though, but luckily nothing hostile happened.

Misty is a tree-climber! (Gerald, Misty and Jayden at the park – portraits!)
Misty is up on the tree! Can you see her? She reminds me so much of Heidi, personality-wise too! Here she is! Spot Misty! A little camouflaged. Pretty Misty on a tree! Gerald climbs trees too, but he decided not to today. Instead, he just wants to lepak! This is a nice photo of their…

How much they have grown!
The Blondies are 8 months 15 days old today. See how big Indra has grown, and Kai and Akira are only about just 100g lighter than Indra. And it was like “only yesterday” that I held them in my palm to handfeed them! Soon, the Blondies might be as big as Samantha already! I don’t…

Managing grief in our own ways
Grief is something that most humans experience. In fact, if you don’t experience grief and sadness, I think there would something quite wrong with you or you are an enlightened being who possesses no more emotions! So for the rest of the ordinary mortals like me, we still experience grief, especially when there is a…

Jayden wants to eat cat food
Today, Jayden INSISTED on eating Cubgrub’s dehydrated chicken treats. He wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. Luckily I know Cubgrub’s incredibly high standards of hygiene, so okay, fine, I let him try. He did. Twice. I think he actually liked it but it was too tough for him to bite off because it is too…

Cleo’s ashes are back with us
Pet Memorial sent Cleo’s ashes back to us just now. You will always be in our hearts, Cleo. From stardust to stardust until the next Big Bang!

Our CKD warriors and a sharing on CKD
As I am not a vet, this is not any professional or expert advice on feline chronic kidney disease (CKD). We have had four CKD warriors now, namely, Vincent, Pole, Bunny and Cleo, who have fought the battle courageously until their natural end. All four had different requirements and needs even though they had the…

Beware of Covid-19
Please allow me to digress a little in this blogpost to share with all of you about Jia-Wen’s Covid-19 case. My son, Jia-Wen, was tested positive for Covid-19 two days after their return from Hong Kong. Ryan and Jayden fell sick a day after their return; Ryan had conjunctivitis and Jayden had fullblown flu. Both…
