Gerald is a very skilful mind-reader. He has now established a fair protocol whereby when I wake up every morning, he will be atop one of our cars in the porch. I can see him on the CCTV. He definitely knows I’m awake because I will drink water, use the bathroom, brush my teeth and…

Gerald started sleeping in the cat tree yesterday, which is a good thing. At least he has a safe place in our porch now. After breakfast, I let him into Bunny’s Place, but he started whining to go back out. Gerald is happiest outdoors. He followed me on a small part of my walk in…

As Jayden grows taller, he discovers “new” objects on the table tops. His latest discovery is the cat hair brush! “What is this?”, he asks. So, naturally, I had to show him. The other way, Jayden. “It’s prickly”, Jayden says. “Can I use it on my hair?” He did try it on his hair a…

Gerald came to mew at 3am. Luckily, a few telepathic messages managed to stop the mewing. Then, he was all quiet until morning. I fed him breakfast in the porch and then I let him into Bunny’s Place again. If possible, this would be the daily arrangement now. A special day where all the Blondies…

We managed to sleep until 6.45am this morning! I had expected yowling in the middle of the night but there was none. Not even this morning. Hence, we only woke up at 6.45am. I came downstairs and there was still no sound at all until I opened the front door. That’s when Gerald came bounding…

After dinner yesterday evening, I brought Gerald back to Bunny’s Place to see if he appreciates being indoors, after hours of “freedom” outdoors. He’s as manja as ever. Samantha and the girls were happy to reunite with him. But Gerald started yowling in no time, so I let him out again. This morning, Gerald was…

At about 5pm, we heard the familiar mewing in the porch. Gerald is back!! That’s a dinner of canned food with his favourite raw chicken gizzards. He sapu habis and went off gallivanting again. Enjoy your freedom, Gerald!

We decided to release Gerald this afternoon. He had just got up from a nap and was yowling till no end. We have done our best for 35 days, but he just wasn’t happy being confined. He’s a roamer at heart. The moment I put him in the porch, he ran towards the gate. I…

Gerald’s yowling has intensified. Early this morning, he started yowling at 4am. I tried my usual “telepathy” messages which always worked, but it totally failed this time. His yowling continued until 5am. So, that’s an hour’s yowling, which was really very disturbing and exhausting especially when it was during the wee hours of dawn. I…

Tabs gets the privilege of getting to eat whatever she wants since she’s a senior now. Riley, well, she’s very fussy, so I either force feed her or she also gets whatever she wants, which is Tabs’ AIM food from Japan. Riley loves it. It’s been a cold day today, so all our cats are…

The ginger Blondies are guarding their serai plant. The only time we have some peace and quiet – when Gerald takes a nap. Something interesting up there? Samantha is not interested at all! A family snack!

Gerald has been confined indoors for a month now. Of course he has not stopped yowling, but the yowling was getting really, really intense and bad for the past few days. It had been louder and more persistent. It also looked like he was trying to find a way to escape to the outdoors. Gerald’s…

Jayden and his best cat-pal, Ginger! Ginger (and maybe Gerald too) is the only cat who would allow Jayden to do anything to him. Ginger and Jayden have been friends since Jayden was 2.5 months old!

This is the Cat Chat book which teaches children what cat gestures mean. Jayden loves the book. He learns from the book and then he observes our cats hands-on. Ryan is more into books about dogs and puppies!
