  • Ginger and Rey in the house!

    Ginger and Rey have been wanting to come inside for a few days now. I don’t really know what is going on, though and why the insistence on coming in. But both came in yesterday and I let them stay for awhile. Then, there was a huge noise of cat-fight upstairs. I wondered what happened,…

  • We have a new guest in the porch – it’s Smokey!

    Gerald was making so much noise this morning in the porch, which indicates someone else was there with him. But it wasn’t a low defensive I-am-under-threat-help-me-help-me noise. That noise is produced when Socks is here. Now, who was there with Gerald? I quickly got his breakfast ready and when I opened the front door, guess…

  • Gerald and Creamy and their ongoing feud

    Now, Creamy is back to chasing and bullying Gerald. This is an ongoing feud that has no end in sight, but luckily I managed to get both to eat together this morning. After eating, Creamy stayed behind in the porch while Gerald disappeared. It was only after Creamy went home that Gerald came back. I’m…

  • Kelly, the “ferocious” guardcat!!

    Kelly takes it upon herself as the guardcat at the guardhouse! So, who does she guard the entrance from? Dogs! Yes, you read that right – dogs! Not small pet dogs, but large dogs. I saw her chase a dog yesterday. I really did. The owner was bringing the dog into our housing estate for…

  • Jayden’s super loyal best friend

    They say a dog never forgets. Maybe it’s the same for cats too? Juno has been Jayden’s best friend ever since I rescued her from the middle of the road at three weeks old. Now, Juno is estimated to be nine months old! Under Juno’s ever watchful eyes! Best friend forever! So, cats can be…

  • Kelly’s “makan siang”

    The guard feeds Kelly three times a day – makan pagi, makan siang and makan petang, as he calls it. Maybe the night guard feeds her again, I’m not sure. Anyway, the daytime guard sent me these photos just now, during makan siang.  Have a happy lunch, Kelly!

  • Robin eats canned food?!!

    Magic happened yesterday and today! Robin ate something other than his raw chicken!! I had just taken some food out to feed them when Robin straight away went for the canned food! That is a mixture of Cindy’s Original with Broth (most cats like this!) with Fur/Ball’s Salmon. Then, he went for the Cubgrub! This…

  • Kelly eats Cindy’s WholePrey too!

    I went down to the guardhouse to try Cindy’s WholePrey on Kelly this morning. However, the guard had just fed her, so she wasn’t exactly very hungry. Still, she eats the WholePrey! Good girl, Kelly. This is a complete food, it’s good for you! I brought along a can of Cindy’s Original with Broth, tuna…

  • Our second trial with Cindy’s WholePrey and some information about Omega-3

    Yesterday, we had a second trial and achieved some success! Tabs likes it, and here’s Juno trying to share some with Tabs. That’s a good sign because Juno is also a very small eater and not really interested in eating, ie. “Who needs food? I want to play!” Instead of letting her “share” which might…

  • Ginger’s inhaler treatment

    Ginger had some abnormal breathing detected months ago. He was previously already on the inhaler, but that abnormal breathing was detected again in the last check-up, soo for the last two months, he was  back on the inhaler again with Flixotide daily. Now, it’s reduced to alternate days for another two more months. That’s his…

  • My omega-3 plan for the cats

    Many of our local vets recommend Coatex fish oil for dogs and cats. But if you look at the first ingredient, it is borage oil. Borage oil is a seed oil extracted from the borage plant and is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid. Omega-6 is good for the skin and fur,…

  • Cindy’s Recipe WholePrey arrives!

    I ordered 4 cans of each of the 6 flavours of this new product, Cindy’s Recipe WholePrey, which is a complete food by FEDIAF standards and is grain free. FEDIAF stands for the European Pet Food Industry Federation. It’s a trade association representing the European pet food industry, aiming to ensure the safety and quality of pet…

  • Visiting Kelly with her dose of Omega-3

    Omega-3 for Kelly from a can of tuna. This is after her morning breakfast, but she could still eat and she almost finished the can too! I figured canned fish can be a good source of Omega-3 for our cats. After makan.  We have our routine where Kelly will play with me for awhile. She’s…

  • Vet shares 3 tips for extending your cat’s life

    I found this article and thought cat parents and caregivers might be interested to consider the tips: https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/real-life/vet-shares-three-simple-ways-31542520 The three tips are: 1. Hydrate (add water to the pellets, use a water fountain, etc.) Personally for our cats, the water fountain failed (I hope you had better luck!), but I’ve managed to persuade Samantha and…

  • Ginger’s “compensation”

    I’ve been trying very hard to reduce Ginger’s food intake. Vet’s orders – he needs to lose some weight. But it’s been a complete failure so far. If he doesn’t get to eat to his heart’s (or stomach’s) content, he waits at the screen door with “that look”. If you are a cat or dog…
