  • Smokey’s visits

    Smokey is the back neighbour’s cat (also Creamy’s friend) and so far, Creamy has not brought Smokey to our house. Creamy comes alone twice daily (or more if his owner goes on holiday) for his special raw meals. But Smokey loves to sit on the ledge and socialise with our cats!

  • The challenges of keeping up with technology

    Age is not an excuse, I know. I am always reminded by my mother who tried to learn the computer and the piano in her eighties. Well, she did not quite succeed, but the fact is that she tried. For the piano, my mother is tone deaf (she doesn’t know it, but she is), so…

  • What Creamy does

    Creamy is the back neighbour’s cat. His name over there is Abu (we only found this out a few months ago).  I named him Creamy when I got him neutered two years ago. But Creamy comes over daily for food, twice. And he only wants raw food, not cooked, canned or kibble. A bit strange….I…

  • Day 2 of my homecooked cat food!

    A bit more success today! Would you believe this? Juno is eating some of my homecooked food mixed with some canned tuna!  Miracles of miracles! For new readers, I started Juno off with raw food the day I brought her back from the middle of the road (after a vet’s visit, of course). She was…

  • What Juno does

    Juno has recovered very well from her spaying now. She is back to playing with the Blondies, all tomboys! This is her favourite activity now… Sometimes, she will take the socks upstairs to store in her “stash”.  Or, she has declared the bathroom shower area as her personal “room”. She stores a lot of toys…

  • Happy Meatless Monday!

    This is my homecooked lunch today! The protein is Kampung Harvest eggs where the eggs are unfertilised and the chickens are never slaughtered. The vegetables are broccoli stalks (more nutritious than the florets), pumpkin, carrot, green capsicum (with seeds), broccoli and alfalfa sprouts, garlic and kale. And of course, green jackfruit powder as a thickener…

  • Making homemade cat food for Ginger and the “elders”

    The last time I made homemade cat food, only Ginger was interested. But that was also good enough because the cat food was suited for Ginger with lots of soup in it. Tabs did not like it at that time. So after the batch finished, I decided to take a break…until today. I made another…

  • Happy Meatless Friday!

    Chutney’s Banana Leaf Rice consists of 12 dishes with some Basmathi rice. It was absolutely delicious. Have a happy meatless day, folks. For the animals.

  • The importance of neutering animals (again and again)

    I know I already sound like a broken tape-recorder. But there will always be new readers to the blog, so this is probably for them. Or maybe it’s for you too, if you are interested. Again and again, I will receive emails or messages from total strangers asking if they could surrender animals to our…

  • Juno goes out to join the Monsters!

    Today, Juno sneaked out to Ginger’s Catio. I don’t even know when she did it. But when I went out to feed the Monsters, I noticed an “extra” tabby there and got a shock of my life. When did an extra grey tabby come into the catio and how??? Only then I realised it was…

  • Where is Juno’s Puppy?

    Last night, I had another scare. I could not find Juno’s toy puppy (named Puppy). My short-term memory is getting really blurry these days. But I remember distinctly that I put Puppy into the carrier when Juno went for spaying and I definitely checked that Puppy was in the carrier when I brought Juno back…

  • Peace and quiet again, little birdies

    Finally, CNY is over. “War zones” are now once again safe, peaceful and quiet…until the next Malaysian festival which has chosen to adopt the fireworks ritual. Be safe, birdies…

  • Happy 2nd birthday, Blondies!!

    Arrgh…I’m two days late, but better late than never, girls! Happy 2nd birthday, Kai, Akira and Indra!!! The Blondies are 2 years 2 days old today!!

  • A scare-of-my-life this morning by Minnie

    I had a scare of my life this morning. I thought Minnie was sick. And why is this so scary? It is because Minnie (and Samantha) cannot be touched. If they cannot be touched, they had better not get sick. Otherwise, how would I be able to get them into a carrier to take them…

  • Juno’s post-op (Day 5)

    I could not sleep until very late last night due to the fireworks. So I spent the time with Juno, off-collar, under strict supervision. She licks and grooms around the surgical site, but not on it, so I confidently took off the collar on her last night. I think she’s quite miserable wearing it. All…
