  • 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…

  • Thank you very much, dear friends

    Thank you very much, dear friends, for joining me on my recent journey with pneumonia and being there for me. Thank you very much for all your kind wishes and healing thoughts. It means the world to me that I wasn’t alone in this fight.

  • The long, long road to recovery begins…

    Weight check – how much weight did I gain by sitting in the hospital room for 4 days straight? None!! Yay! Otherwise, my months of efforts to lose 7kg over 4 months would have gone to waste. At least I don’t have to start from scratch in this area. Now, begins the long, long road…

  • Home!!!!

    As soon our gate opened and we drove in, Gerald sounded the alarm and hasn’t stopped meowing yet!! All the Monsters came to Stargate and congregated there. Happiness is being able to clean litter boxes, feeding them a snack and taking a good bath with both hands functional!! Now, I have to do laundry. Back…

  • This morning’s breakfast

    The wonders of Whatsapp, truly. This morning, while I was having my IV-infusion done, I was also texting new instructions for the cats’ feeding and supplementation. Here are some photos. Juno has regained her appetite after yesterday’s third vaccination! Husband says he wants try this combo for the Blondies to make them eat the Cubgrub.…

  • I am going home….TODAY!!

    Early discharge!! CRP dropped to 38.2! The stars are aligned! Two more IV-infusions today and I am good to go! That should be at 7pm. To continue with oral Augmentin and oral Doxy. Specialist fully acknowledges my phobia of SJS. It was between Levofloxacin and Augmentin. Also, I’ve taken Augmentin before. Levofloxacin would be new…

  • Here comes a funny story from the hospital (Syncope episode averted)

    This is what happened last night. 2.50am: Syncope Episode Averted – phew! It was time for my IV-Infusion at midnight. A male nurse was on duty and he noticed that the IV-port on my right arm was already leaking and the area around my arm was already red and swollen. Good eye. The IV-port needs…
