  • The two J’s play

    Juno is super accommodating to Jayden. She doesn’t scratch or bite him (she does, to us!). And she lets Jayden play with her. The perfect companions to each other!

  • Getting the Blondies to eat

    I probably sound like a broken tape-recorder. This morning, I only managed to get Samantha and Kai to eat a raw meal, even then, it wasn’t a full meal. For the past two days, they have been boycotting raw food and demanding for kibble. Two days is long enough, it’s time for a raw meal…

  • Creamy and Gerald are friends now?

    Creamy came late for breakfast today because of the rain. It was after the rain that I spotted him sitting together with Gerald on the shoe bench! Now, that’s an encouraging sight indeed. Are the two becoming friends again? Creamy ate his breakfast while Gerald waited and I later saw Gerald following Creamy on the…

  • Juno is getting fussy!

    This morning, Juno didn’t want her usual food. I offered Cubgrub Chicken and then her favourite Quail, but she rejected both. Then, I tried some kibble and voila…she polished that up! Uh-oh, is she getting to be choosy and demanding now? I just hope she won’t end up being a kibble-junkie like the Blondies. I’ve…

  • Juno with Tabs and Riley

    Juno likes to socialise with Tabs, but not vice versa. Before I could take more photos, Juno got too near to Tabs and Tabs smacked her. I quickly separated them and brought Juno down to the floor. Then, Tabs got up to this low table, and Juno went up too. Before I could stop it,…

  • Juno’s supervised visit to the Catio

    Here’s Juno visiting Ginger’s Catio again, under strict supervision. It was just a very short visit as I’m concerned about her being too interested and curious with the smells in the ground. That’s Minnie. I scooped her back before she got interested in all the new smells.

  • Juno’s portrait with Riley

    Juno’s long post-vaccination nap yesterday. Then, she got up and I offered her AD to whet her appetite. She ate a lot of it. After eating, she was back to her active zooming-around self! Active again! Juno is still on Cubgrub’s raw CKD Chicken. Steaming it makes the texture of the meat very rough and…

  • Robin, as solid as Rey!

    I’ve written about this before, but I thought I should share it again for the benefit of new readers. All this while, Robin had always been smaller in size than Rey. Not only that, he is also very slim, so slim that if you look at him from above, he’s a “long” cat. If you…

  • Juno’s dinner

    The vet’s concern about raw food is that it’s not cooked and therefore may have a higher amount of bacteria and parasites. So I decided to steam a bit of Cubgrub’s CKD Chicken for Juno’s dinner. Amongst Cubgrub’s flavours, only the CKD Chicken can be steamed because it doesn’t contain any bone, only ground eggshell…

  • Juno’s first vaccination

    Juno had her check-up today. The vet gave her a very thorough examination. Her temperature was normal. PBF shows normal RBC and slightly elevated lymphocytes and allergic cells. The vet did explain that in kittens, we would sometimes see this as the body is building up immunity. Her submandibular (neck) lymph nodes are also slightly…

  • Juno and her mentor, Riley

    Since Tabs is anti-social towards cats, Juno has taken Riley to be her mentor. (Tabs doesn’t like cats. She is just okay with certain humans.) Anyway, here’s Juno with her mentor, Riley. Riley is a very sweet and accommodating cat. She plays with Juno all the time and would probably be a good influence on…

  • Doing our due diligence; where have courtesy and honesty gone?

    I have not written about dealing with difficult, rude and dishonest applicants for a long time now. It doesn’t mean they don’t exist; believe me, they do. And we do occasionally encounter them. A few weeks back, we had to deal with an extremely rude applicant who blames her vet and everyone else for all…

  • Grey climbs atop a table! (from Lee Soo Farng)

    Grey, despite his disabilities, can now climb onto a table! From this photo, it looks like his hind legs have some strength in them too!

  • Mischievous and adventurous Juno!

    Juno has been extremely adventurous lately. She tries to rush out to the front porch, Ginger’s Catio and Bunny’s Place. Luckily I managed to catch her back every time. But cats are so smart, they do it when they know you are oblivious to their attempts and when you are carrying a lot of things…

  • Kai’s loose stool issue resolved!

    It’s been almost 36 hours since Kai’s last defecation of loose stools, so I think we can safely say the issue has been resolved! This is the product that did the trick. I quickly ordered it from the local seller, Honu Paws, yesterday morning and they were so kind to rush it over. It’s a…
