  • Gerald’s wound – more pus

    This afternoon, I chanced upon a random check of Gerald’s shoulder wound and I saw pus flowing out! Since Gerald came back from the clinic, there had been no pus, so I quickly cleaned it off thoroughly and informed the vet. The vet said this means that the infection hasn’t cleared yet, but it’s also…

  • Gerald’s all-night yowling

    There has been no improvement in the department of yowling. It’s sort of getting worse because Gerald seems to have developed a habit of taking long naps in the day time (when he sleeps, he doesn’t yowl, of course) and then, he’s wide awake at night, so that’s when he yowls. Last night was quite…

  • Juno’s morning

    I found some vomit beside Juno’s litter box this morning. However, I cannot be sure if it’s urine or vomit. But I’m inclined to think it might be some vomit of undigested food. Something to monitor closely. But she’s as active as ever and ate her breakfast heartily. The incubation period for parvovirus is 2-7…

  • Juno’s evening poop!

    Juno’s dinner. Juno’s weight is 560g today, an increase of 30g from yesterday! Unexpected evening poop! This is the first time Juno’s had poop on two consecutive days on the raw diet. So, it’s a milestone!

  • The Monsters, our most obedient cats

    Credit must be given when credit is due. Our Monsters are really the most obedient amongst all our cats. They give us the least “trouble”. This is Rey, the smartest of the lot. He climbed up all by himself. This is Robin. Lynx and Ginger Minnie Smurfy Aside from Rey scaling up Stargate to pick…

  • Gerald and the boys

    The boys got really excited about Gerald’s “lion’s mane” (the e-collar)! The boys came in with their pretend-telephones (made of cardboards). I showed Ryan and Jayden Gerald’s big gaping-hole injury and Ryan immediately used his pretend-telephone to “call the doctor” to come to our house. What a good boy! Jayden wanted to wear the e-collar…haha!

  • Lizzie’s news

    A helpful neighbour who is also rooting for Lizzie told us that she saw Lizzie playing with Creamy outside our house this morning! Lizzie is a cat-friendly dog! We have seen Lizzie being friendly to Cisco and Charlie already. But, the neighbour said Creamy isn’t friendly with Cisco or Charlie. In any case, I think…

  • Juno’s second encounter with Tabs

    Tabs already “met” and touch noses with Juno yesterday when we gave Juno a trial run at the kitchen. She’s back upstairs in her room now. Breakfast! Tabs came in to say “hi” to Juno. Curious and curioser until Juno touched a sensitive part in Tabs and Tabs hissed back. That marked the end of…

  • Juno moves to the kitchen (a trial run)

    We moved Juno down to the kitchen this afternoon just to try it out. A new place, Juno! This is the kitchen. Our kitchen does not have a door, so we blocked the entrance with a tunnel. This is just a temporary measure. Riley has no problems getting in. I can trust Riley with Juno.…

  • Juno “graduates” to a bigger plate!

    From a tiny soy sauce plate to a larger one today! The tiny soy sauce plate is way too small for the amount that Juno eats now! So, a bigger plate it is. She can finish this amount all at one go too. Nice poop this morning!

  • Lizzie, Cisco, Charlie and the crows!

    Who are Cisco and Charlie? Lizzie came to eat last night, but this morning, she didn’t seem hungry. Instead, take a look, a grey tabby whom I called Cisco is eating a piece of meat on the grass! Cisco is a grey tabby who has been around for some time now. I think he’s male,…

  • Gerald’s check-up

    It’s been four days since Gerald was disharged. Today was his check-up. As usual, Gerald was yowling at the vet’s while we waited and he ended up with a temperature of 40.2 degrees. The vet said we’d let him cool down first and retake his temperature. The wounds are healing. But the shoulder wound is…

  • Lizzie, the wanderer

    Lizzie only came for breakfast this morning and since then, we did not see her at all until we were driving back home and spotted her many roads away, out of our gated area. She must have wandered off. This was yesterday’s photo. I did not manage to take any photo of her today. I…

  • Gerald’s bacteria identified

    The lab test results finally came back with the identification of the bacteria. It is the alpha haemolytic streptococci (heavy growth) and Clindamycin is one of the suitable antibiotics. So we shall continue with this course. Gerald has already finished the Baytril. Today, he didn’t yowl as much as usual. He took long naps, which…

  • Scratch, scratch, Juno

    Juno knows how to use the scratching post in his little cat tree! Eating well, as usual. No poop for today, which is okay. Juno already tipped the scales at 500g this afternoon!
