  • Socks returns to intimidate Gerald

    Lately, Socks has returned from way down the road to intimidate Gerald again. I know when Socks is here because Gerald will let out a low continous meow which sort of says, “An intruder is here, help me, help me!” This is Socks. He’s the pengacau from outside our neighbourhood. He’s very well fed, but…

  • Who is bullying the Monsters?!!

    Someone sneaked out to the Catio this morning. When I went to check, she was sitting on the chair, extending her arm out to scratch at whoever passes by. Rey got it from her, but he did not retaliate. Who is it? Yes, it’s Juno! So it has come a full circle, hasn’t it? Rey…

  • Visiting Kelly

    I see Kelly every day when I drive pass the guardhouse. She’s usually there, either in full view, or sleeping in her favourite nap-spot, the bushes. She’s quite lucky that there is no other cat in this territory and she has guards looking after her, literally, 24/7. There is the day time guard and right…

  • Gerald and the Blondies

    Gerald wanted to follow me on my walk today, but I was going down to see Kelly so I couldn’t allow him. So, in he went to spend time with the Blondies, his biological family. But before that, a few friends have remarked that Gerald is “very thin”. Ah yes, he does have a very…

  • Fur/Ball has removed the salt from its cat food!

    I’m so glad and delighted that Juno’s cat food brand, Fur/Ball, listens to feedback from cat parents and has now removed salt from their recipe!!! This is not an advertisement, just a sharing. When Juno had the coccidia infection which was really serious, I took her off raw food and learnt my lesson. Coccidia is…

  • Back to grainfree kibble for the Blondies

    The Blondies still need kibble. Actually, all our females (except Minnie) do. I think it’s because the crunchy texture mimics the crunching of bone, which is what female wild cats do – they hunt. And the Blondies are extremely choosy too, so I have to keep changing the kibble brands. After a long break from…

  • Gerald, Creamy, Socks and Smokey!

    There has been some issue going on in the porch. Gerald and Creamy are at it again, but at least Gerald isn’t too scared to come and eat. Creamy actually isn’t hungry (his owners are at home and not travelling), sometimes he would give priority to intimidating Gerald rather than to eat his snack. But…

  • Happy Meatless Saturday!

    My breakfast today: Let’s see now, what did I put in today’s meal: Bokchoy, broccoli, leek, tomato, garlic, broccoli and alfalfa sprouts and gojiberry. Plus one egg. Miso paste for taste. Have a happy meatless day! For the animals.

  • Where is everyone in the hot afternoon?

    All asleep! In Bunny’s Place… Kai Indra Juno Riley Samantha In the Safehouse… Tabs Akira Meanwhile, in Ginger’s Catio… Lynx Robin Ginger and Minnie – best of friends! Rey – he is actually asleep, but he is a very courteous cat and will always wake up to greet me when I got out to the…

  • Akira’s portraits

    Akira loves to come into the Safehouse while Riley and Juno love to go to Bunny’s Place! The grass is usually perceived to be greener on the “other side”, even for cats. It is not just a human trait. Akira: Please stop taking my photos so that I can finally sleep! Okay, okay…sorry!  

  • Kelly’s day

    The guard sent me these photos today because he knows I’ll be worried after any thunderstorm. But actually, Kelly has been living there for more than a year now and has survived so many thunderstorms and also fireworks. She goes to the VIP’s house for shelter. Makan pagi Makan siang  

  • Harvesting our lemon from our own tree!

    We had a lemon tree before this, but it was a Taiwanese species and the taste was slightly bitter. Now, we have another lemon tree and today, we harvested our first lemon from this tree, after waiting for many months! The lemon is huge! Mmm….it tastes really, really refreshing!

  • Visiting Kelly on Earth Day!

    I went down to the guardhouse to visit Kelly this evening. Shh…she was fast asleep after her dinner. The guard had just fed her. I didn’t want to disturb her sleep, but she got up when I spoke with the guard. All is well with Kelly, she’s eating very well. I brought along another flavour…

  • Tabs and Rey – the imparting of wisdom

    Tabs has free access to Ginger’s Catio. Nobody bullies her. It must be an age or hierarchy thing. There is respect for the elderly even amongst cats. What is Tabs saying to Rey? We think Tabs is telling Rey to stop fighting with Samantha and live in peace. “Don’t be like the humans, Rey, they…

  • Indra and Akira outsmart our “lesson plan”!

    The “lesson plan” refers to trying to teach the Blondies a lesson so that they will stop bullying little Juno. The plan involved letting the Monsters, especially Rey, into Bunny’s Place so that their presence would keep the bullies in check, or so we thought, but after two sessions, Indra and Akira are way smarter…
