  • Juno’s post-op Day 3

    It’s very early in the morning right now. Juno slept a lot yesterday afternoon. Since the boys were here, Tabs and Juno went upstairs. Normally it’s Tabs who will seek refuge upstairs when downstairs gets too noisy. Tabs has always preferred quiet and solitude. I brought food upstairs for Tabs and Juno. Juno’s normal eating…

  • Neutering aid for 1 dog in Shah Alam (Ojashinee a/p N. Ganesh’s) & Updates

    We have provided a full sponsorship of RM180 for the spaying of this female dog, Cookies. Ms Ojashinee works together with her mother, Mdm Sumathi a/p Nagappan, in their CNRM work. Updates of the previously-claimed dogs are below.

  • Juno plays with Jayden

    Juno is more or less back to normal now, except that I still cannot take off her e-collar for fear she might lick on the surgical site or worse, bite off the stitches. However, for all our previous female cats/kittens, they have always, on their own accord taken off the e-collar (theirs were all the…

  • More and more dangerous fireworks (Tragedy beckons, does anyone care?)

    Here’s another timely article about it: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2025/02/08/tragedy-beckons-does-anyone-care/ An excerpt, referring to the recent Hokkien New Year on 6th February: Where is the consideration, celebrants? Today and tomorrow are working and school days for the multitude of residents. The incessant fireworks disrupt our daily lives and show a lack of respect for those who do not…

  • Those blasted fireworks and firecrackers

    I’m glad to hear and read that many Malaysians, including the Chinese Malaysians, have expressed their anger and annoyance at the selfish and indiscrimate use of fireworks and firecrackers this Chinese New Year. Here are two reports: No common sense: https://thesun.my/style-life/going-viral/late-night-fireworks-during-pai-ti-kong-angers-malaysians-please-have-some-common-sense-CH13631074 Just plain angry: https://thesun.my/style-life/going-viral/woman-condemns-those-setting-off-fireworks-at-4am-during-chinese-new-year-FA13643723 I must say I’m slightly amused by the comment, “How…

  • Juno’s spaying – post-op Day 2

    Juno had very good appetite yesterday and she also defecated, so two things ticked off my list. But she did not urinate. I waited until very late last night and even put her into one of the litter boxes at the pantry, but there was no urination. Riley accompanied her in the pantry all night,…

  • Juno is spayed!

    The short version: Juno is spayed and all is well! 9.00am this morning I’ve been nervous for the past few days ever since I set the appointment for Juno’s spaying last week. The appointment is today. This afternoon. I know the spaying has to be done, the benefits far outweighs the risks of the surgery.…

  • Happy Meatless Friday with a moringa breakfast!

    I’ve learnt about the bountiful benefits of the moringa plant so we managed to get two saplings about a month ago and planted them in pots. They are both growing very well. After learning to identify the leaves, we noticed at least five moringa trees in our neighbourhood, by the roadside. They aren’t very tall…

  • The second review of PledgeCare products (meat toppers, freeze-dried cod, air-dried fish)

    This is my second review of the PledgeCare products. Our cats weren’t exactly interested in the two Meat Toppers, so I decided to try again this morning. I topped the Blondies’ buffet breakfast of wet food with the Fish Topper and as usual, left the food in four bowls for them. Being the most fussy…

  • Pilling Robin and giving Orozyme to the rest

    I wish someone could take a video of Robin running to the table to be fed his daily Cystophan. He’s just so, so good. He’s already jumped up the table to wait for his Cystophan, followed by Orozyme. Ginger’s Kidney Support Gold and Hyaflex (both liquid), followed by Orozyme. Orozyme for Lynx and Rey (halfway…

  • Gerald and Creamy after yesterday’s fireworks

    Last night’s fireworks was really bad after midnight. There is a law against lighting up after midnight, despite the legalisation of the dreaded materials. I didn’t manage to get Gerald back yesterday evening. I got him back in the afternoon, but he was yowling till no end, wanting to go back out, so I let…

  • The Bai Tian Gong war zones…everywhere!

    My neighbourhood started quite early tonight with the firecrackers and fireworks, but thank goodness that family that lights up right in front of our house probably aren’t Hokkiens (?) and are not celebrating this festival. In most towns that I know, non-Hokkien Chinese also join in the fun to celebrate, but please…could you spare us…

  • Trying out another Malaysian-made pet food, PledgeCare (meat toppers, air-dried and freeze-dried treats)

    About three weeks ago, Julius Sondergaard, co-founder of PledgeCare, wrote to me to ask if I could review their cat food. PledgeCare was co-founded by Julius and his partner, Louis Tan, in 2018. You can read all about this Malaysian company here: https://pledgecare.org/ Here’s a little background about the company, from Julius: We started as…

  • Fireworks, the cat dashed out…..now, back home after 5 days!

    Last Thursday, my friend lost her cat. Must have been during the dreadul fireworks. Her cat just dashed out. After two days, she asked me for the contacts of animal communicators. I have a compiled list and I sent it to her. Then, I suddenly remembered a reiki teacher I was in touch with many…
