First thing we did was to get the Monsters back to the catio. Last night, Rey must have accidentally stepped on the door handle of Stargate and opened the gate unintentionally (or was it intentional?).  This morning, I found the entire Monster clan over in Bunny’s Place. But it was raining so heavily, so I…

I miss Misty so much. In the last few months, Misty’s daily routine was set. If I didn’t know if she was already in the porch, she would jump up onto the window sill and call me from there. And if she’s not back yet, and I go out to the porch with her food,…

I was still in shock all afternoon. Gerald came back in the late afternoon and started mewing in the porch. It was his dinner time and I fed him. Luckily he ate. As I’ve observed, it was always Misty who needed him and not vice-versa, but I am very sure he would miss Misty’s friendship.…

It has taken me a whole day and I still have not come to terms with Misty’s sudden departure. But I want to write this tribute to Misty. I think Misty first came to our house in December 2022 or early 2023. I first named her “Trixie” and she wasn’t a regular visitor. Samantha was…

My greatest fear for all outdoor animals. A car accident. Misty was knocked down by a car from the kindergarten this morning. In my morning walk, I saw Gerald and her at the park, then inside the neighbour’s porch. The next thing I knew before completing my third round was a phonecall from my husband…

As much as we’ve scoured the entire park, we could not find Heidi’s grass for the cats anymore. So, the next best would be serai (lemongrass). One pot for Ginger and the Monsters. One for Tabs, Riley and the Blondies! Tabs really likes serai.   Happy chewing!

For the first time ever, all FOUR of the Blondies (including Samantha) came to wait for their breakfast this morning. This has never happened before. Ever. See? Only Akira went off when food was served. Something caught her eye. But I still managed to get her to eat here, despite the uneven surface and the…

Because… …Creamy was here. He did not want wet food today, only kibble. Gerald and Misty were both too scared to eat. It took some time to persuade Gerald, who was hiding under the car. Misty was hiding in the neighbour’s roof and that took even more time. Is Creamy such a terrifying cat? But…

If our human community were a kinder one, all street animals will have this freedom and happiness. Humans are the only animals who think the planet belongs to them and refuse to live and let live. They are also the only animals who are destroying the earth till no end. It’s blurry because Gerald is…

Hmm….was it due to the impending rain that the Blondies behaved this morning? Indra and Samantha came for breakfast!! But Indra did not eat much; she scooted off to play without finishing her food. Akira and Kai ate a lot!! I kept adding and they kept eating. Indra finally came back and ate heaps and…

Tabs is also a fussy eater, but she’s not as bad as the Blondies. My issue with her is the daily hide-and-seek that I have to play in order to catch her for subcut and her morning supplements and again, for supplements in the evening. Sometimes, if I just give up, she will eventually come…

Another strike-lottery morning! For two mornings now, Indra has been coming to the food station to wait for her morning breakfast of raw food. This may be nothing for other cats, but it’s huge for us!! For example, the Monsters can’t wait to guzzle down their breakfast and I have to get them off the…

Here are our best friends! Gerald is a very human-friendly cat, but he still wants to be free in the outdoors. Misty just follows Gerald.

Tabs continues to intimidate Riley, especially in the bedroom upstairs. She doesn’t let Riley take the spot beside my pillow. Tabs will always take this spot on my lap. I had to go look for Riley this afternoon. She was not downstairs at all. I finally found out hiding in one of the bedrooms upstairs,…
