  • Gotanjoji Temple, the “Cat Temple” in Echizen, Japan

    A charming temple beloved by cat fans, Gotanjoji Temple is a Soto Zen Buddhist temple known for its cats, who are cared for by the temple monks. The former abbot started caring for cats during his time, where he took in abandoned cats, got them vaccinated and neutered too.

  • Gerald and Misty today

    All is well with Gerald and Misty today. It’s back to normal for them now. Gerald doesn’t whine, he just calls to make his entrance each time. This morning, after I observed both of them atop the car in the porch, I still did not go out. By the time I did, Gerald had gone…

  • Robin’s balding issue (medicated bath with Pro-Hex)

    I did not take Robin to the vet’s today for his balding issue, but I took photos to show the vet. Since he is itching, it is more than a cosmetic problem and needs to be addressed. The vet said it could be due to a food allergy problem too and the only way would…

  • Indra to the vet’s (loose stools)

    I managed to resolve Kai and Akira’s loose stool problem, but not Indra’s. Early this morning, I found several spots of loose stools, so I sifted through the CCTV playback to identify whose it was. It was Indra’s. Hence, I took Indra along with Tabs to the vet’s today. Better have her checked. As it…

  • Tabs to the vet’s (recheck after 3 weeks of increased subcut fluids)

    Today was Tabs’ check-up after 3 weeks of daily 150ml subcut fluids. She already improved so much in appetite and demeanour once I increased the subcut fluids.  She is also on the AIM food. It’s encouraging news from the blood test results. Her creatinine is stable, her urea came down (this was the main concern…

  • The sound of silence at dawn (improved!)

    I have been up since 5.30am this morning and it’s been quiet…. And look at what I am seeing in the CCTV footage right now…. Misty and Gerald are both on one of our cars. But, Gerald is not whining!!!!!!! Last time, the moment I even turn in bed, he would know and the whining…
