  • Indra’s updates from the clinic (string-swallowing)

    I know it is wishful thinking hoping I would have good news saying Indra had pooped out the string. That did not happen. The vet just updated that Indra is okay, showing no signs of nausea and has not vomited, which is good. She also has not defecated as well. A X-ray was done in…

  • Indra’s is hospitalised (string-swallowing)

    I didn’t take a chance since string-swallowing is supposed to be treated as a medical emergency. So I took Indra to the vet’s. I also took along a sample of the string in about the same length as the one she swallowed so that the vet would know the material and the length. The vet…

  • Lizzie is more cautious now

    Lizzie has no plans to be trapped or confined. She is getting more cautious now. I suppose any self-respecting animal would be, after so many times of being “trapped” in our porch. In the middle of last night, she came to our gate and made a “Wooo….wooo” sound. She was actually calling for us. I…

  • Indra swallowed a string

    Oh no… Not again. It was around 5th September 2023 (a year ago) that Akira had a string-swallowing episode. She had swallowed two pieces of strings and passed them out. But to be sure, I sent her to the vet’s, X-rays were taken and the first vet thought there was still some string in her…

  • Gerald’s updates (extended self-grooming time!)

    Gerald was given an extended self-grooming session today. His shoulder wound seems to have become much smaller now and when I take away his e-collar, he doesn’t try to feverishly lick the wounds at all. In fact, he grooms elsewhere. So, he was given a long grooming session this afternoon. For his wound-cleaning, Jayden dragged…

  • Retraining the Blondies (not so successful!)

    My plan was way too ambitious – to retrain the Blondies to 100% raw and not be addicted to kibble or hold me at ransom for it. It failed most miserably for the first two days, until I surrendered because they went on a massive hunger strike. With so much to cope, I also had…

  • Juno’s morning

    All looks well for Juno this morning. There was poop before lunch time too.

  • Ops Lizzie 2 – a failure

    Lizzie came through our open gate this morning and husband closed the gate, but she got suspicious and instead of eating, she decided she should ensure she had a way out. I called the adopter, but he wasn’t free to come at that time. So, forgoing food, she desperate tried to find a way out…

  • Ops Lizzie 1

    This evening, I received a call from Cmpl. He was complaining about Lizzie and wanted someone to get rid of her. I had already informed him a few days ago that a kind neighbour had agreed to adopt Lizzie and that we were in the process of catching her. But Cmpl wanted Lizzie gone. I…

  • Gerald’s wound – more pus

    This afternoon, I chanced upon a random check of Gerald’s shoulder wound and I saw pus flowing out! Since Gerald came back from the clinic, there had been no pus, so I quickly cleaned it off thoroughly and informed the vet. The vet said this means that the infection hasn’t cleared yet, but it’s also…

  • Gerald’s all-night yowling

    There has been no improvement in the department of yowling. It’s sort of getting worse because Gerald seems to have developed a habit of taking long naps in the day time (when he sleeps, he doesn’t yowl, of course) and then, he’s wide awake at night, so that’s when he yowls. Last night was quite…

  • Juno’s morning

    I found some vomit beside Juno’s litter box this morning. However, I cannot be sure if it’s urine or vomit. But I’m inclined to think it might be some vomit of undigested food. Something to monitor closely. But she’s as active as ever and ate her breakfast heartily. The incubation period for parvovirus is 2-7…

  • Juno’s evening poop!

    Juno’s dinner. Juno’s weight is 560g today, an increase of 30g from yesterday! Unexpected evening poop! This is the first time Juno’s had poop on two consecutive days on the raw diet. So, it’s a milestone!

  • The Monsters, our most obedient cats

    Credit must be given when credit is due. Our Monsters are really the most obedient amongst all our cats. They give us the least “trouble”. This is Rey, the smartest of the lot. He climbed up all by himself. This is Robin. Lynx and Ginger Minnie Smurfy Aside from Rey scaling up Stargate to pick…

  • Gerald and the boys

    The boys got really excited about Gerald’s “lion’s mane” (the e-collar)! The boys came in with their pretend-telephones (made of cardboards). I showed Ryan and Jayden Gerald’s big gaping-hole injury and Ryan immediately used his pretend-telephone to “call the doctor” to come to our house. What a good boy! Jayden wanted to wear the e-collar…haha!
