  • Five days and counting (the Blondies’ raw meals)

    It’s been five days and counting! That’s five days of the Blondies being willing to eat a raw meal on their own. Today was 75% and I’m grateful. But to be fair, I had help from Cubgrub’s toppers – the dehydrated shishamo and dehydrated chicken treats. Ordinarily, two consecutive days of raw meals is the…

  • The porch situation

    Gerald is still terrified of Creamy. Yesterday, despite the force feeding for Gerald, he still came back at odd times to ask for meals which he could eat on his own. Poor Gerald. It’s almost like the force feeding didn’t matter; he wanted to eat on his own. So I decided last night that I…

  • Dehydrated chicken as new toppers for the Blondies

    The Blondies are really high maintenance cats. Well, actually, that’s totally my fault because I want them to eat raw. If they could have their way, they would be delighted with any kibble. To make them eat raw, I resorted to all kinds of toppers. The anchovy (ikan bilis) powder only worked on Kai and…

  • Trouble in the porch…again!

    Yesterday, Creamy started lunging at Gerald. This made Gerald so frightened that he didn’t dare to eat. Sigh…trouble again. I had to force feed Gerald. Then Creamy spent all day in the porch and refused to go home while Gerald went missing and only turned up for meals, but was way too frightened to eat.…

  • Another 100% raw meal for the Blondies…again!

    This is record-breaking! Three raw meals in a row!! Twice yesterday and once today! This morning, I still added the shishamo treats to their raw meals. The unexpected thing was that they ate up the raw food and left the shishamo treats!! So I think perhaps the shishamo aroma enticed them eat, but they ate…

  • Feeding 15 cats raw meals

    We received this question from our FB page and I thought I’d post my suggestions here for the benefit of everyone and also, perhaps other more qualified caregivers can offer more suggestions too. The question: Please advise – How much pre gram you’re feeding raw diet to each cat per day. I find it is…

  • Shishamo toppers for the Blondies’ raw meal

    I have not given up trying to get the Blondies to eat more raw meals. Today, it’s Cubgrub’s Shishamo toppers for them, and everyone too. Photo credit: cubgrub.my I cut up all the fishes and will be storing this in the freezer (as per its instructions). The Monsters absolutely loved it! As you can see,…

  • Playful Juno

    Juno is currently at the most adorable and playful age – 2 months! Everything is a toy to her!

  • Super-jealous Tabs and super-trusting Juno

    Juno needs protection from super-jealous Tabs. “I don’t like cats…”, says Tabs. But do you know that you are also a cat?

  • The Porch Friends

    Friends at last? Hopefully! Lizzie is friends with us. But try bringing a leash and all the trust will be gone. This is her second breakfast today. Everyone is more hungry on rainy days. The Safehouse Friends. Well, only Riley and Juno are friends. Tabs would rather keep to herself. Can you spot Juno? She’s…

When N Chandrasekaran, the chairman of Tata Sons, expressed a desire to renovate the iconic Bombay House, this was the worry that consumed Tata. Built in 1924, Bombay House had remained untouched…

  • The Blondies’ boycott is over?

    Well, it is nothing new. After 2-3 days of boycotting raw meals, the Blondies will relent and eat raw meals again. That’s their eating pattern. It’s been raining all day today. For dinner today, it’s a 75% score! Samantha ate three bowls of raw food consisting of Coco&Joe’s and Cubgrub – polished! Indra and Kai…

  • The happy J-playmates!

    The best after-school playmates!!

  • New scratch boards for the cats!

    This new scratch board is from Shopee. It’s wood grain and definitely more lasting than the corrugated cardboard or sisal rope types. I bought two because last year, I bought one and the Blondies absolutely love it (and it’s lasted until now)! They love scratching on it and lying on it too. This is the…
