  • Juno’s historic Cow Pose!!

    I dug back the records of my old photographs and Cow Mau did his historic (prize-winning) Cow Pose on 11th December 2006! He actually won a prize in a newspaper photo contest. Somebody took the photo from the blog, submitted it without my consent and I saw it published in the newspapers! None of our…

  • Jayden and Juno

    Peek-a-boo! I see you!! Juno is quite happy curling up in this basket because this way, Jayden can take her along with him without squeezing her! Jayden made a “fruit salad” for Juno to eat. Juno is eating her kibble lunch now. Her urine has been quite yellow, so I’m syringe-feeding her water. I think…

  • Creating new toys for Juno

    Juno has been bouncing around the house all morning, looking for things to play with. Then she found a new toy – this empty Cat’s Best bag which can be used as a hideout and she loves the sound of the paper bag too. See that bit of string attached to the bag? I’ve since…

  • Ginger’s eye injury – improved

    Ginger’s injured eye (the right one) is on the mend. It’s better now, but still pink around the eye. The occcasional squint. Sayang-ed by Rey. Two of the great blessings in life are to be able to give and to be loved. Ginger has both. He looked after the Monsters and brought them up (that’s…

  • Juno’s morning – a setback or feather-eating?

    This morning at 6.00am, Juno passed out blood-tinged, formed but slightly soft stools. This looked like a setback as the stools had been well-formed though a bit soft since Sunday morning, and by late last night, the stools were already hardening up too. However, she’s active, alert and her appetite is fantastic. Shortly after breakfast,…

  • The Blondies’ morning

    I hit the lottery with the Blondies this morning. Three of them ate a raw meal for breakfast. Only Akira stayed at the lookout and refused to come down. Quite an achievement, I must say. Hopefully this goes on, ie. some days they will still eat raw meals. They were given their kibble treat after…

  • Ginger’s eye is improving

    Ginger’s injured eye is improving. As always, Minnie hero-worships Ginger and looks after him. How sweet! Perhaps Minnie is thankful that Ginger mentored all her sons? Or maybe Minnie just “clicks” with Ginger!

  • Juno’s news and the sweet little thing that she is

    So far, Juno’s faeces have been nice and well-formed. They are still just a bit soft, but maybe that is due to the diet. I gave her Kaolin-Pectin this morning. Tomorrow there is one more dose of Promax and that completes the medication except for the supplement, Cobalaplex, which is given on alternate days for…

  • Back to old habits!

    I couldn’t help myself, so I went out to buy some raw beef to try it on the Blondies. In my almost-19 years of caring for cats, it is only this year that I have ever bought raw beef to feed them. Firstly, I feel so sorry for the cows and secondly, I thought wild…

  • Going back to the old reliable brands – Primal Freeze-Dried and Monge

    Way back, our cats were on Monge cat food and Primal Freeze-Dried. My exploration for different cat food is all because of the Blondies’ fussiness.  I figured if they like kibble so much, I have to find a variety for them. Currently, they are only on Cindy’s Naturelle Grainfree kibble. So a few days ago,…

  • Breakfast time at dawn!

    I woke up at 3.50am this morning. It’s crazy, but I could not go back to sleep, so I decided to get an early start to catch up on the news and some reading. But Tabs, Riley and Juno call came to the kitchen, so I fed them. Juno ate home-cooked food. Then, kibble with…

  • Dinner by perseverance…again!

    The Monsters’ dinner went well, as usual, so I shall not write about that. They are great eaters, thankfully. Juno had an early dinner of a home-cooked meal. Tabs had small meals throughout the day. Now comes the Blondies… Today I decided to persevere because their refusal to eat wet food (raw or canned) has…

  • Juno’s yummy home-cooked lunch!

    Thank you for eating my home-cooked food, Juno! I have thought about it and for now, Juno’s staple food will be cooked food and kibble will be a standby snack or meal replacement if she needs a change. Cooked food is preferred because it has moisture. Yummy, yummy! Back to her playhouse!

  • A revised treatment for Juno’s butt sore

    Since we were at the clinic already, I managed to purchase the small e-collar for Juno and consult the vet about the treatment for the butt sore. The vet said I could clean it with Chlorhexidine and apply Fustadin instead of Triderm cream. So that’s what we did after we came home. Sorry, Juno, you’ll…

  • Ginger’s injured eye and ear ceruminous adenoma/glandular hypoplasia

    This morning, I noticed that Ginger’s right eye was injured and tearing. He was also squinting, but he ate his breakfast as usual. There was a massive fight between Smurfy and Robin yesterday and Ginger was not involved at all. When I intervened, Ginger was just looking on. Perhaps there was a fight last night?…
