Today has been a day of yowling for Gerald. And frankly, I’m quite drained out. Could it be because it’s the weekend and he thinks he needs an entire day out? Even after the morning romp in the park, he wasn’t satisfied. He’d take a nap, then the moment he wakes up, he starts yowling…

Gerald was yowling till no end this morning. I was afraid that after being confined for 4 days, he’d had enough and wanted to be free again. Even sitting with him in the room did not help. He kept yowling. So I had to take him out. I didn’t have time to take him out yesterday…

My son, Jia-Wen, was coming home by bus early this morning and he noticed something very heart-warming. The bus driver, a Malay man, stopped the bus, got down and went an open grassy area. Then, a pack of happy dogs came running to him. He fed the dogs and then, got back into the bus…

As usual, the moment I woke up and sat in bed to drink my water from my tumbler, Gerald immediately started calling from downstairs in Bunny’s Place. I don’t know how he knows, but he knows. I did not even make a noise; Tabs who was asleep beside my pillow did not even wake up.…

Dinner time for the Blondies! Samantha ate. Kai ate…a lot. Indra – no. Who needs food?  I even managed to get Gerald to eat dinner (he already had his lunner of chicken gizzards earlier). This is Cubgrub’s raw Quail. Gerald liked it. That’s good. He needs protein rotation too. Then, it was playtime! Akira had…

I didn’t want to make this a daily affair, but Gerald was mewing this afternoon. I know the body harness isn’t comfortable, so I tried Mac’s old harness. It doesn’t cover so much of the body, as it’s made of thinner straps. Gerald was okay with it. But in general, cats do not like being…

I don’t remember if I wrote this story. It happened on Gerald’s first night in Bunny’s Place, that would be the 9th night, I think. Rey must have accidentally pressed on the Stargate door handle during his ascent (or descent, take your pick!) on Stargate’s gate. That handle is not very secure as the catch…

Gerald still mews, and I’ll go into the room and stay with him. But it’s not just me. Samantha and Indra would be nearby too. Would Gerald like to play with string toys? Gerald is still marking in every litter box. So, I have to keep cleaning the pantry many times a day. But I…

Creamy came this morning. Hi Creamy. Thank you for visiting. Male cats are always very affectionate. I gave him breakfast and after eating, he went home.

The Blondies were very naughty today and wanted nothing but kibble. So, for dinner, after I failed in all my offers, I gave in. Gerald normally doesn’t eat kibble at all, but I served RC’s Dental, which everybody goes crazy over. Gerald is the one eating with Indra on the left. One big family. Mother,…

Whenever Gerald mews, Samantha and Indra come to comfort him. It’s quite touching, and I’m glad Samantha has decided to rekindle the old friendship, with the help of little Indra. Gerald and Samantha were partners in our porch 1.5 years ago before I caught Samantha and only after that did Misty enter the scene. Gerald…

This morning, the moment I got up, while still sitting in bed, Gerald started mewing. He simply has this uncanny knack of knowing exactly when I’d wake up even though I don’t make a single sound. I fed him first because he knows the routine. I always fed Gerald, Misty, Tabs and Riley first, so…

Pet Memorial sent Misty’s cremains back to us this morning. We thank them very much for their compassionate service. When I’m ready, Misty’s cremains will be interred back to the earth in our garden, her home. From stardust to stardust, dearest sweet Misty, until the next Big Bang.

Do you know that I have so, so many photo files labelled as “Gerald & Misty”?  It’s never Gerald alone or Misty alone, it’s always both names together. And I have a separate folder where I keep memorable photos of each cat, that’s in individual names, but for Gerald and Misty, it’s again, “Gerald &…
