  • The boys at Bunny’s Place

    When it comes to the Blondies and the boys (our grandsons), it is not easy getting photos of them as they are always on the move! But here are a few from the boys at Bunny’s Place a few days ago. Ryan is waving a cat string toy – you cannot see it as the…

  • Cow Mau’s bacteria test results

    The vet texted to let me know Cow Mau’s eye bacteria test results. He has two types of bacteria, ie. staphylococcus spp (gram-positive) and proteus spp (gram-negative). So, the medication given last week was spot-on as Doxycycline will take care of the gram-positive bacteria while the Gentamycin eye ointment will take care of the gram-negative…

  • How is Cow Mau now (4 days after treatment began)?

    I’m happy to share that Cow Mau is definitely much better now. His eyes cleared up within 24 hours after being on the treatment protocol (Gentamycin eye ointment and Doxy). The pawing is still there but definitely getting much less every day. This morning, he was able to eat Coco&Joe’s despite its stick texture. There…

  • The day Lynx skipped breakfast (oh no!!!)

    This happened a few days ago. It was coincidentally one day after the vaccination but I’m sure it was unrelated. I was serving breakfast at Ginger’s Catio when one bowl was uneaten. With the Monsters and sometimes it is still dark, it take more than a second to figure out who’s not eating (they do…

  • Playtime at the catio

    Ryan, armed with Marshall, his favourite Paw Patrol pup and Jayden, armed with a magnifying glass, the two boys went out to Ginger’s Catio to play today! Hello, Ginger. Smell my finger. 

  • How is Cow Mau now?

    I’m so glad I asked the vet to check on Cow Mau during the house call for the Monsters two days ago. Previously I was under the impression that Cow Mau’s tearing (brown discharge from the eyes) was due to blocked sinuses and the only way to clear that was to sedate him. But after…

  • Cow Mau’s check-up at the vet’s (gingivitis and eye discharge)

    I requested for the vet to check Cow Mau during the house call today. Cow Mau has been having several problems lately. (1) He frequently paws his mouth during eating as though there is a lot of pain inside his mouth. This is despite 3 dentals and I’m certainly not putting him through another one.…

  • The Monsters vaccinated (booster)

    I requested for a house call from the vet to do the Monsters annual vaccinations today. The reasons for the house call are (1) They are all so big and strong, I don’t think I can carry five carriers one by one from the parking bay to the clinic! and (2) They are so strong…

  • “Gimme, gimme, gimme, please…”

    Akira has become a junkie. She thrives on kibble as a snack.  “Gimme some please, Indy…” And she gets it! I suppose the consolation of eating a bit of kibble is that it helps with the bowel movement as it provides some bulk to form stools. Akira: AND…it tastes yummy!! Indra and Kai don’t like…

  • The day Jayden met a BIG dog!

    We were at the Sri Jayanti Temple recently and Jayden met a big, big dog! He has no fear of animals…at all. I had to restrain him! Not the dog. Jayden!

  • On a cold, cold day

    The seasons have changed for us in the Klang Valley. From being so incredibly hot for the last few months, the rains have come now and the mornings are pretty cold. Would you like to join the Paw Patrol, Riley? Even Kai, Akira and Indra are eating so much more on these cold, cold days.

  • Riley watches TV

    Some pets do, some pets don’t. Riley watches TV. But she doesn’t watch just any show. She watches the classy shows. This is “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind”.

  • Grappling with Akira’s sensitive tummy

    It started with my suspicion that Akira and possibly Kai, had gastrointestinal issues because they were hunting and partially eating cockroaches. But coincidentally with their hunting episodes, I was also giving everyone a new raw treat. Everyone else, including Indra, was fine with the new treat, but it looks like Akira isn’t. It must be…

  • Tabs and Riley

    Ryan is having a school break so he comes over with Jayden nowadays. So, Riley and Tabs have playmates! But when it goes too chaotic, Tabs and Riley escape upstairs and chill in one of the bedrooms. Riley sleeps with me every night. She knows how to make herself totally comfortable. It had been really…

  • The three shades of Calico!

    I just noticed that we have a photo of our three Calico cats! Cleo – contrast; Samantha – diluted. Akira – water-coloured!
