Month: February 2025

  • Where were you all morning, Gerald?

    I woke up at 3.30am this morning and could not get back to sleep. So I went downstairs to read some news and get some work done. But Gerald did not come. That was really strange. Normally and almost always, he would come the moment I wake up, regardless of the time. And he would…

  • Taking care of ourselves for the sake of our animals (the liver – my appointment today)

    My big moment of truth was this morning when I went to see the top internationally-renowned specialist and researcher in fatty liver. I made the appointment two months ago. Prior to the appointment, I had written out my entire medical history for the professor and compiled all my blood test readings. The good doctor took…

  • The cause of Gerald’s incessant yowling identified!!

    Breaking news, folks! We now know why Gerald yowls incessantly and persistently!! The cause of his yowling is…. …me. Yes, it’s me. Gerald yowls or mews just to get my attention.

  • Happy animals in the neighbourhood

    I was talking a walk this morning in the neighbourhood as I do almost every morning and took these photos. Here is someone’s cat sleeping peacefully on someone’s car parked by the roadside. As long as neighbours are tolerant, there will be peace. This cat is wearing a collar. I do want to let Gerald…

  • Tabs to the vet’s (follow-up on PCKD)

    Backstory: According to the vet, Tabs has probably had PKD (polycystic kidney disease) all her life (they are normally born with it) but since all her blood tests during earlier years showed normal kidney readings, no ultrasound was done. It was only in December 2023 that a routine blood test suddenly showed elevated an creatinine…

  • Robin to the vet’s (follow-up on cystitis)

    I took Tabs and Robin for their follow-up this morning. This blogpost is about Robin first. The backstory: On 22nd January 2025, I rushed Robin to the vet’s because he was straining to urinate. Straining to urinate is always a medical emergency. Thankfully, he wasn’t blocked at all. So he was prescribed medication, a supplement…

  • Puchong folks, please keep your animals indoors

    If you live in Puchong, particularly Puchong Utama, PU1, PU2 and Pu3, please keep your animals indoors.

  • Juno eats soaked kibble!

    I had thought it’d be impossible to get the Blondies to eat soaked kibble (it was a few months ago where they would stage a boycott and go on hunger strike), but it’s totally possible now. So that’s one achievement for me! Perseverance and lots of luck! My senior vet who likes to feed kibble…

  • Tasty gifts for Mortzy!

    Tabs and Juno instructed me to send some tasty gifts to Mortzy and so I did. The gifts arrived today, compliments of Tabs and Juno! Joy says Mortzy is willing to eat kibble, but she definitely prefers canned food!

  • And the starling flew into a glass panel and fainted…

    The short story: The starling has recovered and has flown off now! The long story: My friend, Soi Chee, found a fainted starling this evening and she panicked and asked me for advice. I quickly contacted two friends who know how to save birds. This was at 4.56pm today. I have the consent of one…

  • “Rescuers struggle with costs” (from TheStar)

    This news came out on 14th Feb 2025: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2025/02/14/rescuers-struggle-with-costs We fervently hope the councils will allow feeders to bail out the animals under their care from the pounds at no cost.
