Month: May 2024

  • Gerald and Misty

    I got a shock of my life yesterday when I came home and “saw” at this spot. Phew….it’s Misty! The reptile was found lying along the wall next to the door. Until today, I always check this spot whether I’m coming out of the front door or coming back towards the front door. I don’t…

  • Miao’s updates (Day 7 after surgery)

    Aline bought a new double-storey cage for Miao yesterday. But since Miao is still under “Restricted Movement Order” for at least two weeks post-op, we suggested that they remove the platforms first.  So they have done that now. From the constipation, Miao now has watery stools. I suggested that they take a photo of the…

  • Nomi’s updates (Day 13 after surgery)

    The following are updates from the vet: Nomi’s incision site looks better now. Suture already removed today. Skin is not fully apposed, but is healing well. Today she has diarrhea, so the vet started her on a probiotic. Her appetite is good. Her incision site will take few more days to recover. As long as…

  • Socks visits

    Gerald wasn’t here in the porch this afternoon, so guess who visited? It’s Socks! From the Rumah Kucing down the road. Misty is eating and Socks approaches. Oh I see…Socks knows where the bowls are! We were leaving the house when Socks came, so I went back in to get her another bowl of food…

  • Novel protein day for the Blondies!

    It’s called a “novel protein” because it is, well, “novel”, ie. used occasionally. A cat’s natural food in the wild is rodent and bird. Many websites highly recommend rabbit (rodent) meat for cats. I know, I know, it’s sad. But this is a very imperfect world where there are carnivores and omnivores and they have…

  • Vaccination aid for 1 cat in Puchong (Soo Tzan Jian & Teng Yeeng Xuang’s) – Ah Miao

    We have provided an aid of RM25 for the 1st vaccination for Ah Miao. Nomi’s update is below. Previously-claimed cat, Nomi:

  • Miao is back home (Day 6 after surgery)!

    Miao is discharged and back home! She is okay but still has a constipation problem and is on laxatives. She also has a course of antibiotics (Curam) to complete. We gave a Medical Aid of a total of RM3604 for Miao which covers the attempted spaying (at the first clinic), the diaphragmatic hernia surgery and…

  • Nomi’s update (Day 12 after surgery)

    Nomi’s wound looks so much better today! She will be boarded until her sutures can be removed. The wound cleaning and boarding charges are covered by the caregivers. The vet updated that Nomi’s incision site is quite clean, less discharge seen. Tomorrow if her incision is dry, her sutures can already be removed. Otherwise she…

  • Misty’s breakfast (the retraining begins…)

    Months ago, I had successfully converted Gerald and Misty to a raw food diet, but over the months, it sort of went back to canned food, and worst, after I confined them for those 18 post-reptilian days, Misty insisted on kibble only. So, I tried to add in more canned food, and that worked…provided there…

  • Gerald is selectively friendly…

    Gerald is about the most friendly cat I’ve ever come across. But is he friendly to everyone? Samantha loved him and still does. Misty loves and hero-worships him. Gerald was terrified of Creamy, if you remember. So does this make him a friendly cat and also a scaredy cat? The first time I ever saw…

  • Miao’s updates (Day 5 after surgery)

    The vet updated that Miao is doing well. She is alert and eating well and her breathing is stable as well. However, she has not defecated for a few days, so the vet has started her with a laxative and will monitor her stool output. A photo and a video of Miao taken by Aline…

  • Nomi’s updates (Day 11) – back to the clinic

    Nomi is back in the clinic for hospitalisation now. Ms Yim and I thought it was time to take a back seat with Nomi and Miao’s cases since it’s already been so many days now. I do have other cases to handle too, some of which we do not publish to respect the privacy of…

  • The Blondies’ breakfast

    A lottery-winning morning! Can you see all four of them? If it’s raw food, they must eat far away from each other. I don’t know why. So I got all four to eat a raw breakfast today and I had a good Blue Zone workout, going from one to another, topping up their bowls. Not…

  • Misty and her duties

    Misty has taken upon the duty of guarding our porch from intruders and protecting our plants too. She is our gardening cat! These are our figs. Our lemon tree – dual purpose, ie. to provide shade for the platforms and to drink lemon infused water daily (hopefully!). Our sunkist tree. Our guavas. We have had…

  • Jayden, Ginger and the Monsters

    Ginger had a bit of vomiting yesterday so I gave him Adored Beast’ Feline Gut Soothe and that took care of it! This is probably the most solid cat tree ever! It has to be, if the Monsters can play on it without it wobbling or being destroyed. Ginger and Jayden!
