Tabs has started balding again. It is almost a once-a-year issue for her previously. Last year, she didn’t have it, though. When she used to, the problem was usually resolved using Advocate spot-on for 2-3 months consecutively. But this time, the bald spots are all located at the subcut needle pricks. So she has small…

Gerald’s yowling was pretty bad yesterday. It is very, very stressful. I spoke with my vet-friend about it and her views are practical and realistic. She agrees that not all cats are happy living indoors and the yowling is not only stressful to humans, but also to our other cats. That is a factor I…

Gerald knows how to enjoy a pillow! This is one of his deep-sleep naps where he doesn’t even wake up when I walk around the bed. He has taken the bed, so Samantha and the girls have to sleep elsewhere. All our other cats would open their eyes when someone is near. Not Gerald. He…

It was raining this morning, so Gerald did not get his trip out to the park. He whined. The whining is on the increase and I am not sure what to make of it. Maybe he’s just tired of being confined and he wants his freedom again. Here he is, this morning. He’s the only…

It’s been a week since Misty’s accident. There hasn’t been a moment that I did not think of her and miss her. As much as I keep myself occupied, I am still constantly thinking of her. It was difficult to take a walk in the morning, but I had to. Part of the reason is…

Gerald knows how to demand for a trip to the park – he yowls nonstop. Off-leash in the middle of the park. Gerald loves playing at this gazebo in the middle of the park. He jumps from slab to slab and rolls on the concrete. He doesn’t go far from me. Let’s hope he stays…

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…
