Gerald and the girls
This is Tabs’ safe spot in the house. If she is sleeping here, I am not allowed to catch her for feeding supplements or subcut. In any case, even if I tried, I will fail miserably. There are too many escape routes from here, and lots of hiding places. Indra has more or less established…

Ginger’s paw wound – Day 5
All is looking good for Ginger. It’s a rainy morning. That is Smurfy, can you see Kai at the far end? She is guarding her territory from the lookout. Minnie and Lynx. This rattan chair belongs to Minnie. That’s Robin. He always greets me whenever I come out so it’s actually difficult to take his…

Thank you very much (July 2024 donors)
This month has been a very trying time for me, personally, with the sudden loss of Misty. Sudden, unexpected loss is the hardest to bear. I still miss her so much every day. On the neutering front, the numbers are increasing, which is a good sign. Hopefully, it will continue to increase in the months…

The battle of the bed!
Ever since the change of the bedspread, Akira seized back the bed from Gerald. And her family can enjoy the comforts of the bed again! Brave Akira. Gerald went back to the top of Bunny’s cage. Kai is here. The Blondies must be so happy to get back their bed!

The Blondies’ breakfast
Gerald is still demanding to eat before everyone else, maintaining his old eating schedule. And still as fussy as ever! He rejected canned food this morning and only wanted raw chicken gizzards. Oh well…I give in to him because of his blackmailing. If he doesn’t get what he wants, he yowls. Meanwhile, today was a…

Ginger’s paw wound – Day 4
Ginger is no longer isolating himself up on the platforms. He’s eating breakfast with everyone else, and also eating wet food. Today, he finishes the Meloxicam (anti-inflammatory) and there are another four more days of the Clavumox (antibiotics). I am thinking of reducing the Tramadol already. I think he’s okay.

Gerald’s quiet time
Does it even exist? Yes, when he takes his long naps. The funny thing is, he sometimes mews early at dawn, even as early as 5am. I’d still be asleep, and it wakes me up and I’m too tired to go downstairs. So I just “telepathise” (if such a word exists, that is) the message…

Ginger’s paw wound – Day 3
Today is Day 3 of Ginger’s paw wound since treatment started. He is no longer limping at all, but he still prefers to stay up high. And he only wants kibble for breakfast. For dinner, he eats raw food like everyone else. Way up high!

Gerald’s breakfast
As you know, Gerald is a very, very fussy cat when it comes to eating. As usual, I gave him his raw gizzards this morning but I added a tablespoon of raw food. He turned his nose up in the air and walked. Then I removed that tablespoon of raw food and he ate up…

Ginger’s paw wound – Day 2
Yesterday, Ginger preferred to stay on the platforms. I did not put the e-collar on him all the time, though. He did not lick his wound at all, so I only use it for about an hour after I cleaned the wound and applied the Fucidin to prevent him from licking off the cream. He…

Ginger to the vet’s (paw wound)
Ginger did not come for breakfast this morning. He had gone up to the highest platform (the lookout) and was sitting alone. Something was definitely not right. After feeding everyone, we managed to get him to come down but he was clearly limping. There was a small black spot (it felt like a scab) on…

Why Indra likes to live with Riley
Samantha has an obvious favourite – Kai. Akira is okay too, but she doesn’t seem to care much for Indra. This is why Indra prefers to come into the house and play with Riley. Riley is actually a very, very good big sister. Whenever any of the Blondies come into the house, Riley takes it…
