  • Everyone’s favourite greens – serai!

    Our cats like certain greens. There’s Heidi’s medicinal grass, there’s also another weed which they like but most of all, they love serai!

  • Ginger’s follow-up at the vet’s

    Today was also Ginger’s follow-up at the vet’s for his kidney and lung condition. I have just completed the 4-month long inhaler treatment for Ginger. Ginger’s heart and lungs seemed fine, which is good. Ginger has more good news than Tabs too. His kidney readings are still normal: SDMA is 11, creatinine 128 and urea…

  • Tabs’ follow-up at the vet’s

    I have been feeling very anxious about this follow-up, knowing fully well that Tabs’ PCKD would eventually progress.  Her last two visits had been good – the kidney readings were maintained, but sooner or later, the disease will progress because polycystic kidney disease is a genetic condition and there is no cure for it at…

  • Samantha is sometimes fair, too

    We all know that Kai (the firstborn) is Samantha’s favourite daughter. But sometimes, Akira and Indra get some attention too! This is rare – Samantha with Indra! And Kai is here, by herself. More rare! Samantha with Akira and Indra. Kai is on her own.

  • Ginger comes in

    For the past few days, Ginger has been asking to come into the house. Ginger and Tabs are now our super seniors, so super seniors (“warga emas”) get special privileges! But he cannot be inside for too long because the Monsters will miss him. He is their Uncle Ginger, the most-adored cat in his catio.…

  • The day Gerald helped Riley

    This happened a few nights ago. Gerald was mewing nonstop somewhere in the porch. Nowadays, he comes for food very often. He can really eat and from the looks of him, he has put on some weight, which is really good. Last time, he ate a lot, but still looked skinny. Now, he looks much…

  • Kelly’s week

    I went down several times this week to feed Kelly and play with her. On some days, she comes up to the junction to wait for me. Luckily, she keeps to the side of the road. She’s still a very playful cat and loves prancing around. I am thankful for every day that she is…

  • Samantha and her favourite daughter

    Samantha and Kai – some things never change! Kai has been her favourite ever since she was born. She’s her first-born from this litter. Akira was second and Indra, third.

  • Kelly’s week

    It’s been quite a week for Kelly. This was Tuesday’s morning snack. Yum, yum… This was Wednesday’s. A nice close-up portrait! This was Thursday’s. The guard said she refused to eat kibble on this morning, but she ate the canned food. By afternoon, I checked and she’s back to eating kibble already. This was Friday’s.…

  • Weighing the girls

    Today, I weighed all the girls except Minnie and Samantha, who are both touch-me-nots. Tabs was 4.0kg. This was after subcut, though. Although weight loss is expected due to her kidney condition, the decrease has been, thankfully, slow. Kai, the eldest of the Blondies, was 4.36kg. Indra, the youngest of the Blondies, tipped the scales…

  • Kelly’s week

    This was on Tuesday. She’s still very playful! This was on Wednesday. I tried pure chicken, she didn’t like it as much as tuna, of course. It rained very heavily on Friday and I didn’t get to go down to the guardhouse. This was on Saturday, back to tuna with chicken. This is this morning,…

  • Getting Juno to eat more

    Juno eats very little. I’ve been trying to get her to eat more. So, whatever she wants, whenever she wants, she is offered food. But she does graze like Riley. It doesn’t help that she is also very picky with food and it’s hard to gauge what she wants to eat for a particular meal.

  • A change in Akira’s eating habits?

    After months and months of trying to get Akira to eat more wet food, has she finally decided she would? In the last two days, Akira has been willing to eat a whole meal of wet food. This would be either Cubgrub (raw balanced meals) or just cut raw chicken. This is huge…for Akira, who…

  • Kelly’s snacks

    Sometimes, when I go down to the guardhouse, Kelly isn’t there. I wait and call out her name, the guard also calls, but I guess she’s fast asleep at the VIP’s house. That’s good too; it means she isn’t hungry. This was her snack on Friday. More chicken than tuna. This was today’s snack. She’s…

  • On a rainy morning

    Akira was with Samantha and they were there for almost six hours this morning! Bonding time for mother and daughter. Tabs with me. We always share a pillow. Tabs gets five-sixths of it, I get whatever triangular space that’s left!
