  • The homemade soupy food adventure continues…

    My target cats are: Tabs and Samantha and the Blondies. The rest already eat soupy food. Also, I’ve decided not to mix my soupy food or the broth with their two main meals. I will give it separately as an afternoon snack (hopefully they are hungry enough to eat it). So, my greater ambition here…

  • Maharani Misty

    Regal, eh? Her Royal Majesty, Maharani Misty!

  • Drinking soup and eating soupy food!

    Look!! I poured plenty of soup into this food. It’s a mixed of canned food and homemade chicken soupy food. Plus more soup! I even managed to get Tabs to lick some soup when I mixed soup into her canned food. Patience, patience….yay! Next, the Blondies! They ended up licking up ALL the soup and…

  • Today’s homemade soupy food for our cats

    This is my yet another attempt to get our cats to drink more water. I call it “soupy food” because it has a high amount of water/soup in it. It’s water-rich food. For our younger cats (Minnie’s family and Samantha’s family), they won’t drink pure broth, they need some meat in it. Hence, the soupy…

  • Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2023!

    May all beings be healthy, happy and loved!!

  • Guess who LOVES my homemade food (with soup)?

    This is a follow-up of my quest to get all our cats (especially our CKD cats) to drink more water. So I started making meat broth (without bone because of our CKD cats) and trying to make them drink it. Most of them were not interested and I had to add some meat to it.…

  • 2 dogs for urgent adoption in Tanjung Malim (requested by Zaleha Ramli)

    Updates on 29th Dec 2023: Great news!! A potential adopter has been found!!  The original post: Zaleha Ramli is helping her friend, Norsafarina Munir, to rehome these 2 dogs urgently. They would very much prefer a home, but failing that, a shelter is fine too. If you are interested to adopt these dogs, Zaleha says…

  • The chicken soup story (meat broth for the cats)

    It’s not Chicken Soup for the Soul, but literally, Chicken Soup for Survival…because cats need to drink more water!! So, how did my chicken soup adventure go today? Well, I stared slowly cooking chicken in water last night. I added carrot and pumpkin because I figured I might blend the cooked meat and vegetables later…

  • Why feed your cat a raw diet

Today, I’m going back to writing about raw food which is my first choice of food for our cats and I’d like to share this article: https://www.foodfurlife.com/why-feed-your-cat-a-raw-diet.html#/ Some excerpts: Many assume the influence of living…

  • Keep your pets safe this Christmas and New Year’s (from the fear of fireworks)

    The festivities are coming and some humans will play with fireworks again. For those with pets and community animals, we always fear the effect of fireworks on our animals. We hope these tips will help. First, some awareness and facts for us to share with others, and hopefully, convince them that fireworks may bring moments…

  • Meat broth and homemade food for CKD cats

    For the meat broth, it’s best I refer you to a time-trusted site for the recipe: Tanya’s Comprehensive Guide to Feline Chronic Kidney Disease – Persuading Your Cat to Eat According to this site, just boil chicken in water and there is no need to add any vegetables (definitely not onions, please). From my own…

  • A friend’s home-prepared food for her dogs and many cats (a sharing)

    “You are what you eat” – this saying applies to us humans and to animals too. So, a pet’s wellbeing is largely dependent on what they eat and this means, what we feed them because they don’t hunt anymore, they totally depend on us for their food. So, what the best food to give them?…

  • Tabs and Indy’s subcut this morning

    Tabs’ subcut is 200ml three times a week while Indy’s is 200ml daily. So far, I just need a bit of help in holding Tabs as I poke the needle as she might run off. Otherwise, she’s fine. Such a good girl. Indy was so, so good today too. He came to wait for his…

  • The Blondies’ breakfast today

    Today is Indra and Akira’s turn to eat a proper meal and Kai to skip it and go “hunting”!  Indra has not eaten a “proper” sit-down meal for two days now, but she did eat a lot of snacks. Samantha too only ate a little and decided she should go on intermittent fasting this morning.…
