  • Robin to the vet’s – FIC (urinary issues)

    6.00am: Yesterday, I thought I saw Robin squatting at the sandbox and I suspected something was amiss, so I went to check and the soil didn’t seem wet. Of course it has been raining lately and I could not be 100% sure. I watched him and he seemed totally normal in his behaviour. His appetite…

  • Bird flu cases rising in the west

    A few days ago, a friend forwarded a video to me which warns of the avian flu as having the potential to cause a next global pandemic. In the video, the person also cautions people about eating chicken and turkey. After watching the entire video, I did a quick search on the internet and indeed,…

  • Happy Meatless Monday!!

    Here we go again, another Monday and another good day to save the animals….by not eating them. The photo below is not my breakfast today. It was lunch on some other day. I’m still doing intermittent fasting and I don’t eat breakfast until much, much later. These are Kampung Harvest eggs where the hens live…

  • A fourth trial with Gerald

    They say that the third time’s a charm, but it did not work with Gerald. I’m referring to my three previous trials in trying to acclimatise Gerald to staying indoors. Lately, he didn’t mind coming into the house, so I’m capitalising on this that he may have changed his mind about staying indoors. Maybe? So,…

  • Juno has never forgotten her first toy…aww!

    The very day I rescued Juno from the middle of the road on 2nd September 2024, I gave her this little toy puppy. Juno was so small, we didn’t really have any toy that was small enough except for this little puppy. Puppy has been Juno’s favourite toy ever since and she still plays with…

  • Juno and her best friends!

    Juno’s best cat-friend is Riley. Juno does want to play with Tabs too, but Tabs would rather be with humans. However, I’ve seen Riley playing chase with Tabs, which is a huge achievement! Meanwhile, Juno’s best human-friend is none other than….Jayden, of course! Juno will patiently stay with Jayden when he plays.

  • Happy Meatless Saturday!

    Nothing new compared with yesterday’s, but just to share a few new practices I’ve only recently discovered (silly me!). I’m using fresh turmeric again, and of course, with black pepper to enhance the bioavailability of the turmeric. Lots of garlic too. I don’t cook the Chinese (wok hei) style – that’s not healthy. So I…

  • Happy Meatless Friday!

    Today’s breakfast! There is no oil at all, and I used garlic and fresh turmeric, hence the yell0w colour in the gravy, which I thickened with the green jackfruit flour. This is how I consume the green jackfruit flour now – as a gravy thickener. Bon Appetit!

  • Dental health, for us and our animals

    The other day, I chanced upon this amazing website and the dentist, Dr Ellie Phillips: https://drellie.com/ She has been a dentist for 50 years now and her advice is nothing like what I’ve heard from the many dentists I’ve consulted all my life. So, if you are interested in dental health, do take some time…

  • Goodbye, Bro Mooi Chee Onn

    Today, AnimalCare mourns the passing of our dear friend and supporter, Brother Mooi Chee Onn. Chee Onn fought a very brave battle with cancer, diagnosed in 2023. He was doing well until his illness took a turn a few weeks ago. I had the privilege of visiting him eight days ago when he was in…

  • Who is this?

    Peek-a-boo! Who are you? A. Riley B. Tabs C. Juno D. Rey E. Robin

  • It’s so, so cold…

    We’ve put up a blanket to block off some of the wind that comes through Stargate. And placed cushions for everyone. We later took the blanket down and moved it to the outside of Stargate (tied from the outside) to prevent the cats from climbing up and tearing the entire blanket to shreds. On the…

  • Riley’s other side

    Riley intimidates Indra. She even did an intimidation dance which scared Indra. Safer for Indra to go back to Bunny’s Place. “I witnessed it”, says Tabs. She’s a credible witness. “Riley was actually protecting me”, says Juno.

  • And the great balik kampung exodus again….

    Allow me to digress a bit this morning… The great exodus to balik kampung for Chinese New Year will come soon. I cringe during any festive season where humans join the great exodus to balik kampung. I cringe when I hear of the hours of traffic jam that adult humans subject their young children to,…

  • Jayden’s best friend

    In case you missed the news, Juno defended Jayden from Ryan’s attempt at bullying him two days ago. The little one dashed in front of Jayden and chased Ryan away. Our little heroine, Juno! Do not under-estimate her just because she’s small in size! But really, why are you so small, Juno? She gets a…
