  • Kah Yein admitted due to lung infection

    Hi everyone. Joy here. Just to let you know that Kah Yein is admitted in hospital for lung infection. Her lung X-Ray looks like Juno’s or Hiro’s and is pretty badly infected. Luckily they have not collapsed yet. She is so cold and trembling at the moment. All aid payments put on hold until she…

  • Upstairs – all disinfected and some information about the SJS hazard

    Upstairs – all disinfected! I went to see my pharmacist to ask for advice. I’ve already been dosed with a medication that has the potential to cause Stevens-Johnson’s Syndrome for 3 days without being informed, so what can I do for myself now? The doctor did not inform me of the potential hazards. Probably didn’t…

  • Disinfecting the entire house

    We have three full days to disinfect the house before the boys come on Monday. This morning, I started cleaning since I couldn’t sleep anyway. Then I went out for my 2.5km walk which I do daily, but skipped while I was sick.  Made it without feeling tired. Then taiji with Gerald, did that too,…

  • I could not sleep all night again

    I wish the title could have been My Fair Lady’s “I could have danced all night”, literally, dancing ballet all night! But no. I could not sleep a wink again. It’s one of the IV-medications that is causing this and I don’t know which one, but I’m thankful I have said goodbye to the IV-port…

  • Juno needs sunshine

    A good knock on my head, a stark reminder – Juno needs sunshine. I recently got acquainted with a new nutritionist and we got talking yesterday. I told him I contracted mycoplasma pneumonia and I mentioned Juno had a mycoplasma infection too, in early October this year. His first question was: Mold? Fungi? Cold damp…

  • Goodbye IV-port (my mycoplasma infection and our brilliant vets)

    My mycoplasma relapsed last night (don’t worry please, I can still function). As the doctor had said, it’s a “marfan” bacteria. It will keep coming back. (But it didn’t come back for Juno, you know. 14 days on Doxy, kau-tim.) So, I consulted my brilliant pharmacist and also checked out all my cats’ antibiotics (I…

  • Way, way back in 2010….the Selayang pound rescue (Pepper)

    Way back in 2010, in our second year, we were very gung-ho and we did pound rescues. First, I joined another organisation in the Puchong Pound rescue, then we did the Klang Pound rescue and in 2010, we did the Selayang Pound rescue. And Klang again after that. Very gung-ho at that time. No more…

  • Juno and Gerald’s news and reflections

    Juno did not have any soft stools all day since the morning round yesterday. I think I should give her the Feline Gut Soothe for at least a week or so now. It’s so good of her to willingly lick up the probiotic mixed with Ciao treats. I don’t have to force feed her. Planning…

  • Our cats verdict on Equilibrio Adult Hairball

    I’ve decided to try Equilibrio since the Blondies and Riley still rely heavily on kibble. But first things first, if you search the web for the unbiased review on Equilibrio by cats.com, please take note that they are reviewing the Equilibrio produced in Europe, whereas the Malaysian importer is importing the Equilibrio from Brazil which…

  • 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…
