  • More about my mycoplasma pneumonia

    I went for my fourth drip just now. This time I was seen by the head doctor and he explained that even though I am so much better, I have to complete the twice per day 3-day drip. So, no short cut there. The reason is, mycoplasma pneumonia is rare but very complicated (“marfan”, he…

  • Happy Meatless Tuesday with lazy-styled guacamole

    Guacamole Malaysian style (for dummies) I was going to make avocado pancakes with mashed avocado and green jackfruit flour, but it was too difficult to mash up the avocado. So I decided just make guacamole with tomatoes, without the mashing. Note: Tomatoes are better eaten cooked because the lycopene walls break down with heat and…

  • No “outings” for Juno today

    Because of her soft stools, Juno is being confined in the Safehouse today. No outing to Bunny’s Place for you, little one. Husband is at work, so I’m at home to ensure she doesn’t escape through the front door. She tried again this morning when husband left for work. She mooched around the cat tree,…

  • Juno and my dilemma (soft stools)

    As you know, Juno spent the day at Bunny’s Place yesterday because firstly, I was sick with mycoplasma infection which is zoonotic and secondly, she’s been escaping out from the front door, wheezing past husband’s feet, unbeknown to him. And being so small, it’s very hard to catch her back. Also, she’s very, very, very…

  • The Blondies’ buffet’s unexpected bonuses

    The Blondies have been having their meals served to them buffet style ever since I discovered how well it works – for them and for my sanity! Here’s today’s bonus! Indra, Samantha and Kai had already eaten their first serving, and they sapu habis too. Normally I would take it away and not add anymore,…

  • My loyal unpaid nurses

    It was impossible to keep Tabs and Riley away from me.  Both wanted to be nearby. So I wore a mask. Juno had been exiled (most happily) to Bunny’s Place. The little one doesn’t know much, she just loves to play. Mycoplasma infection, as the doctor has said, really tires you out. I slept all…

  • Mycoplasma infection (a zoonotic bacterial pneumonia)

    Who has mycoplasma pneumonia now? Me. I have been having this persistent cough for weeks now. Seen the doctor three times. Tested negative for Covid-19, Influenza A and Influenza B. The cough wasn’t serious, but very phlegmy and just wouldn’t heal. So this morning was my fourth visit to the doctor’s for the same complaint.…

  • Juno escapes again!

    She sneaked out from between husband’s legs and went to the porch. Luckily she was attracted by Gerald’s cat tree, so she mooched around there. Gerald, on the other hand, was so scared of Juno that he ran away. Yes, Gerald is scared of many things. Managed to catch her back, luckily. Now, she thinks…

  • Juno’s afternoon naps

    This is the classic Cow Mau sleeping across two chairs pose! She still plays in her house! And she puts her favourite toys inside it.

  • The buffet continues…

    It’s working so well! Raw food first thing this morning. Juno joined them. For the Monsters too. I purposely bought these oval-shaped plates so that two cats can eat from it, but it did not work. They still prefer to eat individually, unlike the Blondies who can even share three to a round plate.

  • Juno escaped from the front door!

    Husband says this was the scariest cat escape he’d ever experienced. I was out for my morning walk. Apparently, Juno had been “planning” this escape, husband said. She went upstairs to wake him up by touching noses with him. Then, she followed him downstairs and followed him all over. When he opened the front door,…

  • Happy Meatless Saturday with a green jackfruit flour meal!

    Here’s what I just discovered recently, from a TED talk by an Indian researcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSsZYhXLE6Y The green jackfruit flour can reverse fatty liver, pre-diabetes and even diabetes. Just one tablespoon per day (per meal) into their roti. So I started hunting for the product; found it in Lazada Singapore but they do not ship to…

  • Jayden and Juno

    Juno is so, so good with Jayden. She actually likes to play with him and will stay put wherever he puts her.

  • Happy Meatless Friday!

    This is my brunch for today: Two boiled eggs, one avocado and a clear vegetable soup consisting of cauliflower, red capsicum, pumpkin and lettuce (whatever I had in the fridge!). Bon appetit! Happy Meatless Friday!

  • The secret of orange cats!

    Here’s the secret, uncovered after 60 years of research: https://www.sciencealert.com/the-secret-of-orange-cats-finally-uncovered-after-60-year-search And it says: Orange cats happen to have a hilarious reputation for not being the brightest of their species.  What??!! What do our orange cats say about that? Ginger is actually super smart but he’s very good at pretending to be not-so-smart. Kai…okay, fine. Not exactly our…
