  • Happy Pescetarian Tuesday!

    In case anyone here is on a low-carb diet, this konjac product is low-carb and even keto-friendly. It comes in several options – noodles, rice, koay tiow, etc. And konjac is the root of a plant found in Asia. I always believe that we should eat according to our geographical ancestry. After all, evolution is…

  • Sardines and mackerel for the cats’ dinner

    After scouting around, I finally managed to find a pet store that sells these products. Yes, as expected, there is gelling agent (am waiting for the importer to find out for me if it’s guar gum or carrageenan), so I tried to remove as much of the gel as possible. Tabs just couldn’t wait, she…

  • The feeding story continues…

    Today, we tried Fur/Ball’s dehydrated treat, Ocean Eyes. Verdict: The Monsters absolutely love it! Today’s main meal was B2N Tuna w Sardine. Ocean Eyes can be used as a topper too, but Robin wanted it neat! And the Blondies loved it too! Now, that’s a rare occasion…. Since this was a mini pack, I didn’t…

  • The feeding experiment continues, about Fur/Ball…and Happy Winter Solstice!

    …with success! After one day of cooked food, this morning, the Monsters had a 100% raw meal with Cubgrub again, and they ate! So, what they need is variety. Only Ginger had his cooked food since the vet has advised that he should be on cooked food at this age. I agree. The protein is…

  • How obedient is Juno in taking meds?

    Of all my decades of looking after animals, I have not come across one who is so, so obedient in taking her medicine as Juno. She waits as I pound her Pro-Fibre. Tabs would have run off to hide. Then, she dutifully licks it all up all by herself. It’s unbelievable. What a good, good…

  • Trying out B2N canned food for our cats, and back to all-favourite Monge canned

    I’ve used B2N (Back2Nature) canned food for our cats before. The verdict is lukewarm and after awhile, they did not like it anymore. The good thing about B2N canned food is that it’s a complete food (no wonder they don’t like it, right?). Many canned food brands are complementary food. This means it is to…

  • A new treat for the cats – Cindy’s Recipe Puffz

    Now that I’ve made the decision to move on from a 100% raw diet, it gives me more room to try other foods and it also gives the cats a wider variety of foods. For those who missed the post, my main reason is my concern over the cold chain logistics which is so important…

  • A cat cure for my diarrhoea?

    Disclaimer: This is only a sharing of what worked for me. Kindly consult your professional healthcare provider for expert advice.  I have another story to share today. Remember the Augmentin-induced diarrhoea that I have to endure for the duration of the course of the antibiotics (7 days)? I have found out that there is no…

  • How old are you, Juno?

    I was finally a bit settled yesterday, with the Augmentin-induced diarrhoea somewhat a little less and able to eat more food, so I ran errands and got more things in order. One of them was to contact Juno’s vet as I wasn’t there when Juno went for her third vaccination. The vet says Juno should…

  • Continuing to learn about cat nutrition

    Disclaimer: This is only a sharing. Please consult your pet nutritionist for expert advice.  My recent hospitalisation has made me realise a few things about cat nutrition. When someone else has to takeover to do the feeding, it is so much easier if that person handles canned/cooked food and kibble. Because when I came back,…

  • Today’s breakfast (a new protocol)

    Change is good. Change is necessary. I’m trying out a new feeding protocol now. It starts with Tabs and Juno in the kitchen. Both get VIP treatment because Tabs is under palliative care and Juno is still a kitten. Today, both wanted cooked food. Gerald already got his breakfast in the porch. Actually, he is…

  • Of cold Coca Cola, the poop tablet and huge sigh of relief!

    This is another funny story related to my recovery process. It’s a long story, so it is only for those who are interested in it. On the last day of my hospitalisation, I developed diarrhoea. First I thought it was because I had overdosed on raw salads. Lately, at this age, I realised that my…

  • Easing back into normality

    It was great that I could sleep last night, in my own bed! Three weeks ago, when I was being dosed by the GP clinic with a multitude of strong medicines, I had trouble sleeping. Then, when I was in the hospital being properly treated by the lung specialist, I could finally sleep but the…

  • Juno, on top of the world!

    Here’s little Juno at Bunny’s Place for her daily sunshine, but she’s on top of the world now! How fast they grow!!

  • Of cat food and today’s feeding (by me again)

    This is a very long blogpost, meant for readers who haven’t been following us from the start, in 2009. If you have, please just skip the first half and scroll right down to today’s feeding photos! For those who are new to this blog (we are more than 15 years old), please allow me clarify…
