  • Tabs and me

    Tabs and I spend quite a lot of quiet time together every day. She doesn’t like her CKD supplements and subcut to be given and done in the early morning, so I let her be. But by mid-morning, she will actually come and ask for it. Or, she will let me know she’s ready by…

  • Is Minnie touchable and Juno’s stories

    It’s been many years now, but Minnie is still “out of reach”. I’ll never know how old Minnie is because she came with skinny Smurfy in 2020, seeking help. Based on her teeth, she was estimated to be more than one year old then. So that would make her about six years old now. Minnie…

  • The cutest antics of Juno!

    My butter fingers! I accidentally dropped a box of blueberries the other day and all of the tiny berries spilled out onto the floor. I picked up every berry that I could find, but apparently, I had missed one… …which Juno found and the next day, I saw it placed neatly with her puff balls…

  • Happy Meatless Thursday!

    My vegetable soup! The protein is Kampung Harvest’s led-free century duck egg (unfertilised, no slaughter). The vegetables are broccoli (more stalks than florets), red capsicum, pumpkin, carrot, spinach, watercress, garlic, broccoli sprouts and alfalfa sprouts, goji berry, red dates. Have a happy meatless day, folks! Let’s do it for the animals! This is an original…

  • The third review of PledgeCare products (freeze-dried duck cubes and anchovies)

    My third review of PledgeCare products! I ordered from their website and delivery was on the very next day and very fast too. If you order above RM100, it’s free delivery in the Klang Valley. Everyone loves the duck cubes! However, they didn’t quite like the anchovies. These are really big anchovies! Only Smurfy was…

  • Samantha, oh Samantha!

    Look at how comfortable Samantha is! It’s actually been more than two years since I tricked Samantha into coming inside our house, then got her upstairs to the bedroom so that she could give birth safely there. That historic day: https://animalcare.my/2023/01/27/ladies-and-gentlemen-we-present-samantha-gerald-helped/ For new readers: Samantha was a 100% street cat and she was spotted on…

  • 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…
