  • A Calico mother-and-daughter portrait

    I think in no time, Akira will be the same size as her mother, Samantha!

  • The Monsters vs the Blondies

    Everybody’s in this photo this morning. And as always, it’s a total joy to feed the Monsters because they have a terrific appetite. I cannot say the same of the Blondies, though. It’s considered VERY lucky that I could get at least three of them together for a meal this morning. Normally, they will all…

  • The Creamy-Gerald antagonism continues

    Sigh…it’s resumed, actually. Creamy has come back, not necessarily for food, just to occupy our porch. Out of courtesy, I offered some food. He wasn’t particularly hungry, actually, but he ate, perhaps also out of courtesy! Misty doesn’t really feel comfortable with Creamy. But she also ate some. Actually, when Creamy comes, Misty sounds the…

  • Happy Meatless Monday!

    These are some of the vegetarian dishes available at our local eateries. This is from the Jam & Kaya Cafe at PJ Palms Sports Centre. This is from the Organic Vegetarian Fresh Mart & Restaurant in SS18, Subang Jaya, which we call “Freddy’s” because that’s the owner’s name! And also, the shop’s official name is…

  • Vaccination aid for 1 cat in Batu Caves, KL (Syazwani Syarah bt Shahimi’s) & Updates

    We have provided an aid of RM25 for the first vaccination of this cat, Kurus. Updates on all previously-claimed cats are below.

  • Ah…raining a day too late!

    There was very heavy rain at our place just now. Thunder and the works, but still not as bad as fireworks. Tabs is our most scaredy cat. She would quickly ask to be let into the storeroom during thunderstorms. Wished it rained rhinos and hippos last night. A day too late!

  • Say NO to fireworks (a video by PAWS)

    This all-out protest against fireworks for our animals’ safety is one for the long haul. Please join us, if you share our cause. Thank you. This is a video by PAWS:

  • Kai fights back to protect her territory

    For a few weeks now, the Blondies (yes, all females) have been spraying urine around the house whenever they come out to play. Before I go any further, I would just like to say this: Neutering stops the aggression and competitive behaviours due to mating, but it might not stop the territorial behaviour or even…

  • After another dreadful fireworks-filled night

    Jade Emperor’s birthday came and went last night. The fireworks was madness, but thank goodness there was none of that war-zone machine-gun blasts last night. Probably that fellow isn’t Hokkien or he just doesn’t celebrate the Jade Emperor’s birthday. Fireworks should be banned. There is no two ways about it. But if there HAS to…

  • The mad and bomb-like fireworks are starting now….

    Please keep your animals safe. If your animals are indoors, turn up your TV to try and drown out the noise. But with this new type of bomb-sounding fireworks, it is just too deafening to be drowned out by any other noise. If your animals are outdoors, bring them in, if you can. Unfortunately, this…

  • Happiness is playing with a kitten at a cafe, or anywhere!

    Jayden grew up surrounded by all our cats, so he loves them. Here’s Jayden at the swimming pool cafe, playing with a little kitten. It’s really so nice to see animals being allowed to roam around at the cafe. Jayden had a nice time playing with the kitten while we waited for our food to…

  • Our guava tree…and the dilemma

    We have almost zero luck in planting anything, but by sheer luck, we managed to plant a guava tree and it actually fruited! We planted it from a seed of an organic guava. We haven’t really been 100% successful in enjoying our fruits, because half of them are eaten up by fruit fly larvae despite…

  • Please rain tonight

    Please rain tonight. Not too heavy until it causes any flood, but just rain heavily enough so that the selfish humans cannot set up their fireworks and machine-gun firecrackers. SAY NO TO FIREWORKS. FUN ONLY FOR SOME HUMANS. SCARY FOR ANIMALS, BABIES AND THE ELDERLY.

  • Riley respects Mina’s space

    When Dorami and Mina first came to our house (only for babysitting), Riley wanted very much to make friends with them. Dorami also responded positively, but once the cats settled in, Mina decided the bedroom is theirs and she hissed at Riley and “pushed” her to the attached bathroom. Since then, Riley still accompanies me…

  • The Blondies’ eating pattern

    I wish the Blondies ate like the Monsters!! But they don’t. However, weight-wise, they are fine. All are above 4kg. All muscular, pretty much like the Monsters too. Perhaps it’s due to the platforms where they get to exercise daily! But truly, it would be so much easier if they would eat like the Monsters!…
