  • 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…

  • Dental food for our cats

    I think it was two years ago when another vet whom I consulted for four of our cats recommended Royal Canin’s Dental for dental hygiene. Since then, I’ve bought quite a few packets for our cats and everyone loves it. Then, I stopped giving it for some months. It’s not as readily available as the…

  • How “manja” is Creamy?

    There is no English equivalent for the word “manja”, is there? “Affectionate” is the closest I can find, but it doesn’t quite cut it. Google Translate says it’s “spoiled”, but it isn’t that either. So, “manja” is “manja” and if you are Malaysian, you know what it means! This morning, the tide turned. For some…

  • Juno’s post-op (Day 4)

    Today is Day 4 for Juno’s post-op, but it is actually only about 78 hours after her surgery. I have been giving her more off-collar time to groom herself as I can see she’s quite miserable wearing the collar. I use this stick toy just to keep her occupied so that she won’t groom too…

  • My very first big pound rescue (Puchong pound) in 2006

    A friend was asking me about all the pound rescues we had done before. My memory is getting worse by the day nowadays and I could not recall the exact details, but I do remember our Klang rescue in 2009, Selayang in 2010 and Puchong again in 2014, but there was also one in 2006…
