  • Indy’s daily “oatmeal” stool

    Okay, this is a tricky. I am not 100% sure the “oatmeal” stool is from Indy, but it is found in Indy’s poo spot in the sandpit. Indy usually defecates on this spot, and for a week now, I have been scooping up oatmeal-like stool (a lump, without much form) from this exact spot. However,…

  • The incident in the crossover today (a hostile takeover)

    The Monsters came over to eat grass today and… Smurfy staged a hostile takeover of Cleo’s cage. Cleo tried to defend her castle by growling, but Smurfy buat tak tau. Cleo continued growling. I tried to help by reprimanding Smurfy, “Out, Smurfy, you are here to eat grass, not to stage a hostile takeover,” but…

  • The junkies who demand for a kibble dessert and the princess who snatches food

    Who are our junkies? Here are Kai and Indra dutifully eating their raw food for breakfast while Cleo eats her Hill’s KD renal canned food. But after that, it usually starts with Cleo demanding for some dessert (after meal snack), which, for her, is RC renal kibble. And once Cleo gets it, the scent will…

  • Misty and Gerald might as well be twins and other porch tales

    For dinner yesterday, Gerald decided he didn’t want Coco&Joe’s. Instead, he only wanted cut-up chicken meat. And Misty followed Gerald too…exactly! She too refused to eat her Coco&Joe’s and only wanted cut-up chicken meat. Are these two twins?? Of course they are not! But they might as well be, right? With Gerald being the elder…

  • Why is naughty Akira in the house?

    This is not a trip for pleasure. Akira is inside the house because Indy is having his meal (at his own crazy time – Indy doesn’t eat with the rest of the cats, he demands for food whenever he pleases, like at 3am in the morning!), so I have to isolate Akira from it. Otherwise,…

  • Oh no…another new pair of fighters, Rey-Lynx

    Rey never used to be a fighter at all. Not at all. And least of all, Lynx. When the rest of them or any other cats fight, Lynx actually distances himself far, far away from the war zone. Rey and Lynx were both very peaceful cats. Why, when Rey used to go over to Bunny’s…

  • Gerald and Misty’s devotion to each other

    Sometime last week, Gerald was “missing” for breakfast and if you remember, I wrote about how Misty came but simply refused to eat. She was definitely hungry, but she would not eat without her best friend. Luckily after a few hours, Gerald came back so the two had a good belated breakfast. This morning, I…

  • Indy’s crazy meal times and the new inter-catio fighters

    Why am I up at 3.30am? It’s actually been a daily occurrence. It’s due to Indy’s crazy meal times. He doesn’t want to eat with the rest for reasons only known to him and him alone. So he demands for food at the oddest hours. Yes, like at 3.00am. Or worse, at 1.00am when you’ve…

  • Jayden and Ryan’s safari viewing sessions and Riley’s grand escape

    If we have no time to accompany the boys out to the catio to play with the cats or to the front porch to feed Gerald, Misty and Creamy, the boys bring their stools and watch from inside the house! This is Jayden. He placed the stools there so that he can sit and watch…

  • Ciao Churos for feeding supplements and medicine

    I used to use Cindy’s pureed canned food for feeding medicine to the difficult-to-pill cats, namely Cleo, the queen with the golden mouth. It does work pretty well except that I only need a little bit each time so once a can is opened, the longest it can last in the fridge is just four…

  • The dark coloured drinking bowl

    Our vet was right! Riley and Tabs do prefer the dark coloured drinking bowl. On the second day, I was still putting the white bowl next to the brown bowl and Tabs went for the brown bowl! Now, I’ve removed the white bowl.

  • Cleo and Indy to the vet’s (starts on Darbepoetin injections)

    Today was Cleo and Indy’s appointment which is the check-up after 10 days of being on the CKD regimen. The result, in short: Cleo has maintained her readings while Indy has shown improvement. I was really hoping both would have shown improvement, but Cleo has been having CKD since September 2019 so she’s been living…

  • Our black-and-white warriors of the Brotherhood

    Here are portraits of our very senior black-and-white warriors! Hey, Brother Cow… My liege…(I bow down low). Senior, but still our unbeatable warriors of the Brotherhood! Warriors, yes, but both have a heart of gold!

  • Indy’s doppleganger or….?

    This is a photo from MunMun’s Furry Sanctuary, taken yesterday… Check out the black-and-white cat in the background… This one. Oh no!!!  Is that Indy??? The markings on the face is uncannily similar, right? But…aha, Indy has a tell-tale classic “ink heart” on his body. Do you see it in the picture below? It’s the…

  • The nurses on duty at subcut

    Today is Indy and Cleo’s check-up after 10 days of doing this CKD regimen. They have been on increased subcut fluids, Renal-N and Astro’s Oil’s Fish Oil and Nitrogen-Creatinine Scrub. Let’s hope there’s good news later. Meanwhile, where are the nurses for this session? Here they are!!!
