Best to do our own research
We are extremely disturbed to hear some feedback from a kind lady who had earlier asked if we knew of any vet clinic that could board her rescued sporo-cat. As you know not every clinic can accept boarding for sporo-cats because the disease is zoonotic (it not only speads to other animals but also to…

Our gardening cat, Misty
If Heidi was our taiji cat, Misty is now our gardening cat! I wanted to plant a tree here to create some jungle-like atmosphere or at least some leafy shade for the Stargate platforms, but whatever we plant now, it cannot have any bushy undergrowth. It cannot have hiding places for reptiles. It must have…

Breakfast with the Blondies, PorchCats and the Monsters
Samantha, as usual, will eat. She’s the easiest to feed. Kai didn’t want any of the raw food, but settled for cut-up raw meat. Akira too. But sometimes, they can be coaxed to eat after that. Or do a banana leaf style. That works too…sometimes. Gerald and Misty came in to eat this morning. Misty…

Breakfast for the Blondies
It always starts with laying out all the raw food we’ve got for them in four bowls and later, it’s all about “musical bowls”, shifting the bowls around until I please their taste buds for that meal. My good luck streak ended at yesterday’s breakfast. I could not get Kai and Indra to eat. Only…

Gerald visits Bunny’s Place with Misty
Yesterday, Gerald paid Bunny’s Place a visit! Breakfast first. Now, when it’s still dark, I don’t go out to the porch anymore. I feed them inside the house. It’s also good training for them to get used to feeling safe to come inside. Then Gerald started whining very loudly. It’s not that he wanted…

Updates on Miao (awaiting diaphragmatic hernia surgery)
The vet sent updates on Miao this evening. Miao is okay and alert. She could only eat a little at a time because if she eats too full, she feels unwell as part of her stomach is already in the chest cavity due to the tear in her diaphragm. The vet is arranging to do…

Robin’s second medicated bath and heroic Tabs!
Today was Robin’s second medicated bath with Pro-Hex. He has a balding and itching problem, so this was prescribed along with restricting his diet to only a single protein for at least 6 weeks. I’ve failed with the single protein diet after 3 days because he got sick of eating chicken. Moreover, trying to identify…

The amazing Feline Gut Soothe from Adored Beast
I have heard of how effective Adored Beast’s Feline Gut Soothe is, but have not used it before because previously, all our cats who had gut issues also had CKD and this product is not recommended for CKD cats. Updates on 10th Sep 2024: Adored Beast contacted me to inform me that Feline Gut Soothe…
