  • Gerald is selectively friendly…

    Gerald is about the most friendly cat I’ve ever come across. But is he friendly to everyone? Samantha loved him and still does. Misty loves and hero-worships him. Gerald was terrified of Creamy, if you remember. So does this make him a friendly cat and also a scaredy cat? The first time I ever saw…

  • The Blondies’ breakfast

    A lottery-winning morning! Can you see all four of them? If it’s raw food, they must eat far away from each other. I don’t know why. So I got all four to eat a raw breakfast today and I had a good Blue Zone workout, going from one to another, topping up their bowls. Not…

  • Misty and her duties

    Misty has taken upon the duty of guarding our porch from intruders and protecting our plants too. She is our gardening cat! These are our figs. Our lemon tree – dual purpose, ie. to provide shade for the platforms and to drink lemon infused water daily (hopefully!). Our sunkist tree. Our guavas. We have had…

  • Jayden, Ginger and the Monsters

    Ginger had a bit of vomiting yesterday so I gave him Adored Beast’ Feline Gut Soothe and that took care of it! This is probably the most solid cat tree ever! It has to be, if the Monsters can play on it without it wobbling or being destroyed. Ginger and Jayden!

  • Gerald & Misty today

    Misty’s post-breakfast snack after helping me with gardening. Her breakfast is always wet food. Here comes Gerald! Normally, Misty will rush to the garbage compartment to welcome Gerald, but today, she was still busy eating her snack. Gerald and Misty get Healthy Gut pre-probiotics daily too. It is also from Adored Beast. I totally believe…

  • Feeding the Blondies

    This is today’s attempt to get them to eat a raw food breakfast. Only Samantha and Kai ate. Akira and Indra just wanted to play. It took awhile before I could get Indra to eat. Akira just wanted to play. And play. After about half an hour, I offered cut-up raw chicken meat and she…

  • Eating: Boys vs Girls

    I’m sure you’ll get the same results with humans too! How boys eat: As always, such a joy to feed them! And Robin even wanted more after that. Boys eat so well and Minnie joins them with the same terrific appetite! Now, for Gerald and Misty, of course, Gerald eats more but Misty eats well…

  • Our gardening cat, Misty

    If Heidi was our taiji cat, Misty is now our gardening cat! I wanted to plant a tree here to create some jungle-like atmosphere or at least some leafy shade for the Stargate platforms, but whatever we plant now, it cannot have any bushy undergrowth. It cannot have hiding places for reptiles. It must have…

  • Breakfast with the Blondies, PorchCats and the Monsters

    Samantha, as usual, will eat. She’s the easiest to feed. Kai didn’t want any of the raw food, but settled for cut-up raw meat. Akira too. But sometimes, they can be coaxed to eat after that. Or do a banana leaf style. That works too…sometimes. Gerald and Misty came in to eat this morning. Misty…

  • Breakfast for the Blondies

    It always starts with laying out all the raw food we’ve got for them in four bowls and later, it’s all about “musical bowls”, shifting the bowls around until I please their taste buds for that meal. My good luck streak ended at yesterday’s breakfast. I could not get Kai and Indra to eat. Only…

  • Gerald visits Bunny’s Place with Misty

    Yesterday, Gerald paid Bunny’s Place a visit! Breakfast first. Now, when it’s still dark, I don’t go out to the porch anymore. I feed them inside the house. It’s also good training for them to get used to feeling safe to come inside.   Then Gerald started whining very loudly. It’s not that he wanted…

  • Robin’s second medicated bath and heroic Tabs!

    Today was Robin’s second medicated bath with Pro-Hex. He has a balding and itching problem, so this was prescribed along with restricting his diet to only a single protein for at least 6 weeks. I’ve failed with the single protein diet after 3 days because he got sick of eating chicken. Moreover, trying to identify…

  • The amazing Feline Gut Soothe from Adored Beast

    I have heard of how effective Adored Beast’s Feline Gut Soothe is, but have not used it before because previously, all our cats who had gut issues also had CKD and this product is not recommended for CKD cats. Updates on 10th Sep 2024: Adored Beast contacted me to inform me that Feline Gut Soothe…

  • Happy Mother’s Day 2024

    Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers!! My mother used to say: It is a blessing to be able to give. My grandma would always say: Do not waste even a grain of rice. Eat up all your food! Happy Mother’s Day, everyone!

  • Homegrown guavas!

    If you would be so kind as to permit me to digress a little today, here’s sharing some photos of our homegrown organic guavas! For two people who absolutely have no green fingers, this is our pride and joy! We planted this tree from a single seed, obtained from an organic guava. It is amazing,…
