  • Riley and Juno’s encounter

    Riley and Juno play every night. It starts with an encounter like this, then they will chase each other all over the house. “I’m not involved”, says Tabs. She just watches. Playtime over, Juno? Soon, I might have some difficulty telling Riley and Juno apart if it’s not bright enough! But with Juno eating so,…

  • Happy Meatless Saturday!

    Today’s brunch contains carrot, leek, broccoli & alfalfa sprouts, broccoli stalks, pumpkin, bok choy, gojiberry, konjac rice (it’s dietary fibre) and two Kampung Harvest eggs (unfertilised from happy free-range chickens who are never slaughtered), topped with mushroom seasoning. Have a happy and healthy meatless day, folks. For the animals.

  • Jayden remembers his best friend

    When Jayden first came to our house to stay in March 2022, Ginger was his best friend. Jayden was only two-and-a-half months old then, not able to even roll over yet. Ginger kept him company by lying next to him almost all day. Jayden remembers Ginger as his best friend! “My best friend!”

  • Happy 5th Birthday, Rey, Robin and Lynx!

    Today, Rey, Robin and Lynx are exactly 5 years old! Happy Birthday, boys! This would make Minnie roughly 6 years old (an estimate) and Smurfy roughly 5 years 3 months old as he was from an earlier litter. Here are some birthday photos of the brothers! Robin Rey Lynx All three together, boys! Robin is…

  • Kelly’s morning

    Lately, we’ve been seeing Kelly sleeping in this groove in front of the guardhouse. I asked about the safety of this groove and the guard says there is nothing to worry about. He is always right there, monitoring her. Yum, yum, tuna’s Kelly’s favourite. Lickin’ off the last bits!

  • One brave lady’s determination to safeguard her cats from a python (from Jo-Ann Koh Mei Li)

    There are no photos of the python or any reptile in this post. Ms Jo-Ann Koh is indeed a very, very courageous lady. Below is her sharing:

  • Updates on Xiao Ji’s wound (from Liew Foung Khung)

    We have been following up on Xiao Ji’s wound healing whose treatment is sponsored by our Medical Aid. Ms Liew has been taking Xiao Ji to work so that she can keep a close eye on the wound healing. She says the wound is starting to dry up now and Xiao Ji has very good…

  • Kelly’s morning

    I saw another new calico up our road today. The tail is exactly like Kelly’s but this cat is slightly bigger and the face is definitely different.  I hope she has a home. Here’s Kelly. She was waiting at the guardhouse area. I thought I’d give her something different today, Cindy’s WholePrey, but she didn’t…

  • Gerald being indoors

    Another family portrait of Gerald and the Blondies. Unfortunately, Gerald is never happy being indoors. He will probably just entertain me for a short while, then the loud yowling starts. He wants to go back out.

  • Gerald and his family

    There was thunder this morning, so I brought Gerald inside. The whole family is in this photo. Can you see them all?

  • Tabs, Juno and me

    I injured my ankle yesterday. I slipped at the gym and heard a loud “CRACKKKK!!”, and thought I had broken or fractured a bone. How else would you account for the loud “crackkk” sound? But funnily, it felt okay right after that and I was able to continue at the gym. I even walked down…

  • Kelly’s post-breakfast meal and playtime

    Kelly wasn’t at her usual guardhouse place today. I had to call her and wait a bit for her to come from another road. The guard says she seems to have found another home on that road to lepak once in a while. According to the guard, they don’t mind her presence because she’s “kecil”.  …

  • Creamy “merajuk”?

    Is there an accurate English word that means “merajuk”?  I think not. Merajuk is a Malaysian cultural trait. You’d think it only happens with Malaysian humans? No, it happens with Malaysian cats too! I’m actually quite relieved that Smokey hasn’t come for two days now. When she comes, she really makes Gerald very upset and…

  • The Monsters’ post-breakfast snack

    This is their dental snack. They absolultely love it. Robin has to dine privately on the table, above everyone else! This is Ginger’s earthing spot. He takes long naps on it. Minnie also made one (by clearing off the stones) for herself, a little further up from Ginger’s. Minnie is Ginger’s No. 1 fan! Do…
