  • Robin to the vet’s (follow-up on cystitis)

    I took Tabs and Robin for their follow-up this morning. This blogpost is about Robin first. The backstory: On 22nd January 2025, I rushed Robin to the vet’s because he was straining to urinate. Straining to urinate is always a medical emergency. Thankfully, he wasn’t blocked at all. So he was prescribed medication, a supplement…

  • Juno eats soaked kibble!

    I had thought it’d be impossible to get the Blondies to eat soaked kibble (it was a few months ago where they would stage a boycott and go on hunger strike), but it’s totally possible now. So that’s one achievement for me! Perseverance and lots of luck! My senior vet who likes to feed kibble…

  • Early morning portraits of Ginger and the Monsters!

    We nicknamed Minnie’s family “the Monsters” because they are so big! In no way is the nickname meant in a derogatory manner. I have to explain myself because on two occasions, I was told that the cute names I had given our cats were derogatory in the English Language. The first from my first rescued…

  • Breaking news: Creamy has a nice green collar!!

    Haha…!! It IS breaking news for us! Yesterday, when my friend, Soi Chee, was here visiting, we noticed a cream-coloured cat, so similar to Creamy walking on the ledge and this cat has a nice green collar! I remarked, “Hey, is that Creamy?? He has a collar now!!” So I waited, but the cat with…

  • Juno, Riley, Tabs and the Blondies’ eating stories

    As far as possible, I ensure that Tabs, Riley and Juno’s breakfast consists of wet food. This is quite challenging because Riley and Juno are kibble-queens. And both eat very little, so I cannot soak the kibble in water as it will not get eaten up fast enough and it might spoil once it is…

  • Gerald, oh Gerald

    Gerald is okay now. There is no more vomiting. It looks like he was trying to tell me that he longer wants his raw chicken mixed with canned food. He wants it separately. Sapu habis! Sometimes, he will want to come into the house and I’ll certainly let him in. Gerald lepak-ing with his family…

  • Taking care of ourselves again (the liver)

    Hi friends, More information to share with all of you. I went for my pneumoccocal vaccine this evening and was so lucky to get a radiologist in attendance at the clinic. So, vaccination done, and then I asked him if he could interpret my blood test results for me. I learnt quite a few things…

  • Happy Meatless Sunday!

    This homemade lunch contains broccolini, cabbage, carrot, pumpkin, bok choy, garlic, fresh turmeric, tomato and red capsicum. Topped with alfalfa sprouts and broccoli sprouts! Have a happy meatless day! Let’s do it for the animals!

  • Taking care of ourselves for the sake of our animals (blood glucose and cholesterol)

    Allow me to digress every once in a while. This is a follow-up to my eating plan to (1) reduce my blood glucose and (2) reduce my cholesterol (particularly my triglycerides and LDL if ever that’s even possible). Backstory: My blood glucose isn’t really that bad but I hit the prediabetes reading (HbA1c at 5.7)…

  • What is going on, Gerald and Creamy?

    Gerald and Creamy (aka Abu) are our only outdoor cats now. Creamy is the back neighbour’s cat while Gerald is…Gerald. I don’t know if he has a home somewhere because he does disappear for long hours sometimes, but both definitely come for food at least twice a day. Creamy doesn’t have any issues. He comes…

  • The crazy string-eating Blondies and their cat tree sisal rope

    If you remember, the Blondies are all string-eaters. Akira swallowed two strings before and luckily she managed to pass them out, but I did not leave it to chance. I took her to the vet’s for ultrasound to monitor the movement of any possible remnant strings – luckily there were no more and it’s all…

  • Juno’s little stories

    Juno is definitely a small-sized cat. In her last check-up which was during her spaying, the vet said her weight gain is “normal”, so there’s nothing to worry about. I guess most of our cats are so big (!), so I’m so used to big-sized kampung cats! Look at the Blondies – they are kampung…

  • Happy Meatless Saturday!

    This is today’s lunch at Vitafoods, Subang Jaya. It’s Sweet and Sour Cranberry Mushroom with vegetables. I requested no rice so the plate of rice is replaced wth another plate of vegetables. The healthy art of eating is to eat up all the obvious vegetables first. Like this. Then, only the protein. And last (and…

  • The fourth review of PledgeCare products (Meat Toppers & Fresh Chicken)

    This is my fourth review. I ordered Fresh Chicken from PledgeCare and it came within 15 minutes, packaged in an insulated bag, which I appreciate very much. I’ve had frozen foods delivered to me without any insulation before and some packs had already defrosted, which was terrible. Fully frozen, no signs of defrosting at all.…

  • Juno breaks her record!

    Haha… We discovered a record-breaking 10 socks removed this morning! There are 16 socks in all, so this is really a new record for Juno. Presented neatly for us too. We know it’s you, Juno.  It is okay.  No harm done. Lookie! She has learnt from Riley to pee in the basin. Oh well…it’s okay.…
