  • Drama from the rooftops (Gerald’s tales)

    Nothing new, it’s the Drama King again… But he’s alright these days. Bushy H doesn’t come around anymore. So, it’s just Creamy but Creamy is very good, he just comes for his raw meal and then he goes home. Socks is just an occasional visitor.

  • Kai bullies, Juno fights back

    It’s been happening for more than a week now. Kai has been bullying poor little Juno till no end whenever Juno goes to Bunny’s Place. Luckily, this bullying or even the quarrels amongst the Monsters are nothing compared to the days of yore when we had our warrior kings, ie. Cow, Bunny and Indy, where…

  • Who is Smokey?

    There has been a lot of excitement over at Bunny’s Place recently because of a new kitty on the block. This is Smokey (name given by me). She/he is Creamy aka Abu’s friend at the house at the back. Smokey has been coming to the ledge to make friends with the Blondies. I wheeled the…

  • The technique of feeding Ginger

    As we all grow old, we come with various health problems. It is the same with our pets too. Ginger has a vomiting problem if he eats too fast. Whether it is just because of eating too fast or some underlying problem, I don’t really know, but I do have a way to prevent it.…

  • Heroic Juno protects Jayden!!

    Now that school has re-opened, the boys do come to our house after school. Yesterday was one such day and boys being boys will occasionally quarrel and fight, especially now that Jayden has developed a pretty good vocabulary. Ryan was trying to bully Jayden yesterday, and guess who came to Jayden’s rescue? Yes, little Juno!!…

  • “No, it’s just a big, big worm” (the viper visit story from 24 years ago)

    This episode happened 24 years ago and if I’ve told it to you before, you may want to skip the entire story. And how do I know it was exactly 24 years ago? Well, because it was in January that year, which was almost the Year of the Snake. So, that would be the year…

  • Little Juno’s weight-gain project and Gerald’s “training”

    I’m monitoring Juno’s weight every week and there’s been weight gain. Not as much as I’d like, but it’s on track. She tipped the scales sthis morning at 2.3kg. Maybe she’s just a small-sized cat. By my estimate, I think she should be coming to five months old now, but from her teeth, the vet…

  • Taking care of ourselves again

    My dear friend, Agnes, reminded me of Dr William Li! He is ethnic Chinese, a world-renowned researcher and scientist in health and being ethnic Asian, I think his advice would be more suitable for us. Do check out his youtube videos, his websites and his write-up. Disclaimer: This is just a sharing. Please consult your…

  • Happy Meatless New Year!

    We had lunch at Le Food today! This is one of my favourites at the shop. I asked for one-third rice. And this will be my last meal for the day. This is their Big Breakfast for husband. Happy Meatless New Year!

  • Of fireworks, etc.

    In case you are wondering why I’m still awake at this hour, well….there are a few reasons. I was incapacitated for four hours this afternoon until evening due to suspected food poisoning. Never had bouts of vomiting this badly before (six times where I could not even retain plain water) and I thought I was…

  • New wheat straw plates for the Monsters

    I rewarded myself by buying new wheat straw plates for the Monsters! Wheat straw is a renewable and sustainable alternative to some solid plastics – think picnic plates that don’t stick around forever. It’s a BPA free and food-grade material that’s got its FDA approval. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the material is made from a natural byproduct of wheat…

  • The (hopefully!) last chapter of my bout with pneumonia

    The moment of truth was this morning when I went for my follow-up chest X-ray and consultation with the specialist. The good doctor showed me the X-ray and he is very happy. I am 90% healed!!  And that’s fast. Just a teeny weeny more on the left lung. Only a Ct scan can show if…

  • Gerald’s yowling (talking)

    Yesterday, while I was doing my mandatory morning walk, Gerald was yowling at the park. A very kind elderly gentleman who also does his walk in the park and has a compassionate heart for animals kept telling me, “Your cat is looking for you”. I felt so bad, so I explained that Gerald is just…

  • Shorter feeding sessions today!

    Today, I got all the feeding done in just half an hour! Juno decided to eat. Hooray! Even Riley ate, which is rare. Tabs no longer wanted Cindy’s Complete Pate, as expected, so luckily I have a wider selection of canned foods now. I offered Monge and yay, I hit the jackpot! Juno and Riley…

  • Gerald’s ongoing drama

    Gerald has been yowling quite a bit lately. Creamy (aka Abu) has been intimidating him. And also, take a look… Socks has been coming again. Gerald doesn’t like Socks. And of course, Bushy H intimidates him too. That’s Gerald following me on my walks. This is another cat at the playground. Gerald is probably afraid…
