  • Why Indra likes to live with Riley

    Samantha has an obvious favourite – Kai. Akira is okay too, but she doesn’t seem to care much for Indra. This is why Indra prefers to come into the house and play with Riley. Riley is actually a very, very good big sister. Whenever any of the Blondies come into the house, Riley takes it…

  • Just how fussy is Gerald?

    I would say he’s our fussiest cat when it comes to eating. He expects me to read his mind as to what he wants to eat. Sometimes, it’s 100% raw chicken gizzards (he can easily eat up to four pieces of gizzards in one sitting). I’m trying to introduce some chicken breast meat together with…

  • Tabs’ medicated bath

    I gave Tabs her second medicated bath today, with Pyohex. The vet says to let the shampoo stay on for 7 minutes (the bottle actually says 10 minutes), but the best we can do is 6 minutes before Tabs starts to get very restless. I do understand, 7 minutes is a very long time to…

  • Gerald, the Blondies and the Monsters

    Our most obedient cats are the Monsters. They give no trouble at all except for the occasional fights amongst themselves which do not end in bloodshed or vet visits. And feeding them is a joy because they have fantastic appetite. I cannot say the same for the Blondies. I only managed to get Samantha and…

  • Seeking Rey’s help…to control Gerald’s yowling

    Husband had an idea today – why don’t we let Rey into Bunny’s Place and see if this can stop Gerald’s yowling? Well, it’s worth a try. Anything to stop the yowling is worth a try! Not only did Rey come over, but the whole gang did. Everyone. But take a look, Gerald isn’t at…

  • The boys and the Monsters

    The boys played with the Monsters today! Jayden is more familiar with the cats as he grew up with them. Best friends since young! Ryan is learning not to fear the cats. The boys played from the Catio into Bunny’s Place. They had lots of fun with all the cats! Inside the house, they normally…

  • Gerald, Creamy and Tabs

    Creamy was here the very first thing in the morning. I already saw him sitting atop one of our cars from the CCTV when I got up. He was very hungry too. I first gave him a big bowl of wet food which he finished, but he stayed at the door, and kept looking in.…

  • Tabs’ red spot isn’t fungal

    It’s been four days now since the culture was done to determine if Tabs’ red spot is fungal. Well, it isn’t. The vet confirmed that today. And that red spot is so much better already. I’ve been applying the Triderm cream three times a day. This is the culture. If it’s fungal, the colour would…

  • Gerald’s yowling, trip to the park and eating fussiness

    Gerald protested by not eating this morning. While I managed to feed each of the Blondies, which was challenging enough, Gerald still did not want to eat, no matter what I offered him. Yesterday, he made a dash out of Bunny’s Room, ran to the front door and asked to go out. Of course I…

  • Ginger and our lovely Monsters in the Catio

    I haven’t written enough about our lovely Monsters lately, with so much focus on the Blondies and now, on Gerald. So this post is about the Monsters. Ginger is the big boss of the Catio. The Monsters live to serve him. Lynx is a totally affectionate cat but he bites. This is Minnie, the matriarch.…

  • Gardening with the Monsters

    I still miss Misty very much. It hasn’t been easy even though I have so much to do daily. Gardening with the Monsters nearby. Waiting each day for the lemons to ripen. Compared with the Blondies, the Monsters are actually so much easier to look after, especially when it comes to feeding – they eat…

  • Gerald’s day and a trip to the park

    There’s still the yowling, but luckily, Gerald hasn’t resorted to yowling in the middle of the night…yet. Generally, he yowls the moment he wakes up from a nap. My vet-friend told me that for outdoor cats, they are so used to roaming after they get up, so that’s why Gerald yowls. He wants to roam.…

  • Tabs is so comfortable now

    After getting the cream for that red spot and the ear lotion, Tabs has been visibly and definitely more comfortable. No more rubbing her head on Tupperware containers since then too. And she’s been taking long naps as well. Tabs and Riley, relaxing in the kitchen.

  • Gerald and the Blondies’ feeding challenge

    It’s getting to be even harder to feed the Blondies with Gerald’s influence. Gerald, unlike the Monsters, is also a very picky eater. One would think that being an outdoor cat, he would eat anything that’s served? Not true. Because I have to stop Gerald’s early morning yowling the moment I wake up or come…

  • Tabs to the vet’s (balding problem)

    So I took Tabs to the vet’s this afternoon to get her checked. The red round spot looked rather suspicious, so the vet did a scraping to check under the microscope.  Only 1 fungal spore was found. But I had also made the mistake of bathing Tabs this morning so I might have cleaned off…
