  • 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…

  • The excitement at Stargate2 – Smokey visits!

    There was great excitement at Stargate2 this morning! There is a visitor. It’s Smokey! So finally, Smokey found the courage to come all the way from her house at the back, along the ledge all the way to our house. Not only that, she came to our garden sniffed around at Stargate2 where the Monsters…

  • Kelly’s breakfast

    The guard decided to try giving Kelly a can of food this morning and he sent me this video! She ate! This is one of the cans contributed by the other neighbour earlier. He bought the can food with red meat which Kelly initially didn’t want to eat. Now, she eats! Kelly is lucky to…

  • Where is everyone in the heavy rain?

    These thunderstorms are a nightmare, day or night. At least we know all our indoor cats are safe, and I know Kelly would have gone to the VIP’s house even before the rain. But where are Gerald and Creamy? I found Smokey here… She may have got caught in the rain and did not have…

  • Who is the new bully now?

    Juno! Juno is now the cili padi in the Safehouse, but she only bullies Riley, not Tabs. Is Riley asking for help?

  • Juno at the Catio

    Unlike Riley, Juno has no fear. She loves going out to the Monsters’ catio. And surprisingly, they don’t bully her at all. Robin acts as her chaperone. Imagine that? She even has a chaperone! This is clearly colourism at play, isn’t it? The Monsters will bully the Blondies but not Juno. Why? Same colour? Juno…

  • Kelly eats the no-salt Fur/Ball!

    As promised, I went down to the guardhouse today to see if Kelly might like the new no-salt Fur/Ball. I half expected her to reject it because not all our cats eat it too. Riley doesn’t. But I was pleasantly surprised and delighted! I brought along a can of Cindy’s just in case she didn’t…

  • The no-salt Fur/Ball has arrived!

    My order arrived yesterday! For those of you who missed the earlier post, Fur/Ball has removed the salt from their cat food now, so it’s zero salt in all their four flavours! Tabs loves it! But I cannot give it to her every day as the protein is a bit too high for her. Tabs…

  • Kelly’s breakfast

    The guard sent photos this morning! Happy eating, Kelly! If I have time tomorrow, I’ll go down and give Kelly another treat of canned food. The guard feeds her kibble three times a day.

  • Ginger’s portraits

    Some close-up portraits of our Super Senior Ginger! Time for ear-cleaning, Ginger! Ginger IS obese. I’ve tried reducing his food intake, but he will sit facing the screen door to ask for food, and he would sit for hours if need be. What if he’s just big boned, you know, like that famous legendary kungfu…

  • Giving Kelly a treat

    There is no fridge at the guardhouse, so it is difficult for the guard to give Kelly canned food as there is no place to store the unfinished food. So I went down today to give Kelly a treat. The last time I gave her a can of food, she could only eat about a…
