  • Ginger’s inflamed eye – off to the vet’s

    Yesterday morning, I noticed that Ginger’s right eye was inflamed and had discharge. By evening, it became worse, so it was off to the vet’s. The vet checked and said it’s due to a flu. Ginger already had a bit of nasal discharge as well. Both his eyes were checked and there was no ulcer…

  • Tabs and her frequent meals

    Tabs eats a few times a day, at least three times. It’s small meals, but I’m glad she still has her appetite. I give her a variety of foods, as long as she eats. Tabs has polycystic kidney disease (PKD) which is a genetic condition and chronic. Most likely, she was born with this condition…

  • Riley the mind-reader

    It’s true what they say about pets – they are mind-readers. We’ve always known this fact. Riley has demonstrated incredible mind-reading skills. She knows when we wish to retire for the night to go upstairs. Our normal routine is to watch a tv series after dinner. We don’t really have a fixed time, as it…

  • All’s well with Kelly

    The guards have changed again. Luckily we now have a young guard who doesn’t mind feeding Kelly. So I just have to ensure there’s an adequate supply of kibble at the guardhouse. And every morning, I still go down to give her canned food. Life is all about adapting to change, isn’t it?

  • The oh-so-familiar whines of the drama king, Gerald

    Very early this morning, I heard the sounds of cat altercation. A white cat has been trying to enter our porch for some time now and Gerald had been fending him off, not physically but verbally. And luckily so too. When I went out this morning, I saw Creamy fending off WhiteCat. Gerald was nowhere…

  • Winds of change for Kelly

    Two weeks ago, the guard who feeds Kelly suddenly stopped working due to some immigration problems. It took me many days to find out that he isn’t coming back to work anymore. Since then, I have alerted animal-friendly neighbours if they could please look in on Kelly since I don’t get to see her every…

  • Our good ol’ reliable Monsters

    Ginger and the Monsters are our most reliable cats. They are not fussy about food and they always finish up whatever they are served, including leftovers from the ever-fussy and difficult Blondies. They get a variety of food for every meal and they will rotate among themselves until everything is finished. As a general rule,…

  • Kelly is fine

    Kelly is fine and looks very well. Nowadays, she’s usually at the VIP house too. The guard has to shake the kibble jar to get her to come out when I go down to give her her snacks. Looking good and healthy!

  • Kelly ventures further

    Yesterday was the first time ever that I spotted Kelly at the park. So far, she’s never dared to cross the road to get to the park. It seemed like she’s hunting something. I quickly carried her back to the guardhouse. She’s eating well. And she actually looks very big and well-fed now. I think…

  • Kelly, Gerald and the Blondies

    Kelly isn’t too interested in canned food these days. Yesterday, she did not even eat her kibble all day until evening. The guard said she was hunting a tree shew. That’s the thing with outdoor animals. We won’t know what they have been up to because we cannot keep an eye on them all the…

  • Juno is 1 year old!

    We don’t really know when Juno’s birthday is, but when I first rescued her on 3rd September 2024 from the middle of the road, the vet estimated her to be about 3 weeks old. Later on, another vet said she could be slightly older, so we will just estimate her birthday to be either the…

  • Tabs the empath

    Yesterday morning, I carelessly snipped off a small chunk of flesh from my finger while cutting up raw meat for Gerald. The bleeding was frightening and nonstop even though I kept applying pressure to the wound. I finally got it under control after a few hours. But I started worry about completing all my chores…

  • Kelly’s other food sources

    A few days ago, I was really glad to meet up with a kind lady who comes by to feed Kelly early in the morning. The guard says she drops in to feed Kelly “food from a tube” almost on a daily basis. This explains why Kelly looks so prosperous and is seldom hungry these…

  • Kelly’s week

    Here are some photos from my alternate-day visits with Kelly. According to the guard, Kelly has been exploring quite a bit out of her usual territory too. I always ensure she has fresh water in her bowl. But she still comes to eat and everyone says she looks very healthy now! She has definitely put…

  • Tabs and Juno at the catio

    Tabs and Juno have a new favourite place now – Ginger’s Catio! The catio is also safer for Juno because surprisingly, nobody bullies her here, unlike being in Bunny’s Place where she seems to be hounded by the Blondie gingers and it always ends with her screaming, albeit preemptively, for help. We think it’s her…
