  • The Monsters and their “refurbished” Catio

    Ever since the reptilian encounter, we cleared off all the pandan, thaumatococcus and jasmines from our front lawn. We also thinned out the thaumatococcus from the Catio. Ok, I’ll admit it was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction, but I was traumatised. Well, wouldn’t you have been too, if you were just 1 metre away…

    Ah Miao was brought in for a routine spaying procedure yesterday, but it ended up as an emergency where she almost lost her life. Upon administration of the general anaesthesia, Ah Miao started heaving for breath and stopped breathing. The surgery was immediately aborted but she still stopped breathing a total of three times while…
