  • Gerald and Creamy

    Creamy still comes for food and it’s already Monday. I wonder if his family is on holiday or something. So, everything in the porch is quite chaotic because Gerald is still afraid of Creamy and too frightened to eat when Creamy is around. Yesterday, Gerald missed a meal because of Creamy. Yesterday’s meal. Today, he…

  • Ginger’s inhaler

    All’s going well with the daily procedure using this Aerokat chamber to administer the inhaler for Ginger, as long as he doesn’t stay up on the platforms! Sometimes he does and we would just have to wait for him to come down. Yesterday, a big fight broke out between Ginger and Smurfy on the lookout.…

  • Riley’s happy slumber parties

    We have been sleeping in the living room for the past few days. It started when I had the flu and I haven’t exactly fully recovered yet, and it’s just so easy to just sleep downstairs. The happiest of them all with this arrangment is…Riley! If we sleet upstairs, when we go up the stairs,…

  • Gerald’s terrible yowling episode at dawn

    Gerald started yowling at around 5.30am this morning. It was loud, persistent and very, very disturbing. In fact, it was so loud that even the Monsters got angry and launched an attack on him from their catio. Gerald was perched up on the ledge and yowling nonstop. So the Monsters climbed up to their platforms…

  • Ginger to the vet’s (right lung inflammation)

    Today was Ginger’s check-up of his paw wound and his lungs. The paw wound has healed. But his lung X-Rays show that the right lung is still inflamed. There is no deterioration or improvement of this condition. It doesn’t look like there’s cancer (luckily!) so we can rule out the lung-digit syndrome, which is rare.…

  • Tabs’ 4th medicated “massage”

    It’s been rather cold for the last few days. The weather is changing from scorching hot previously to a much cooler temperature. I was waiting for a really hot day to give Tabs another medicated bath, but it did not happen. And she needs another medicated bath because she’s really been biting all her subcut…

  • Gerald, the mind-reader

    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’s morning

    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…

  • Jayden, the cat hair-stylist!

    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 and the Blondies

    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…

  • Good morning, good boy Gerald!

    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…

  • Gerald’s freedom

    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…

  • Gerald is back for dinner!

    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!

  • Happy Gerald is free again!

    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…

  • Of the yowler, taiji and life

    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…
