  • The Monsters and their “refurbished” Catio

    Ever since the reptilian encounter, we cleared off all the pandan, thaumatococcus and jasmines from our front lawn. We also thinned out the thaumatococcus from the Catio. Ok, I’ll admit it was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction, but I was traumatised. Well, wouldn’t you have been too, if you were just 1 metre away…

  • Successful raw feeding for two days for the Blondies!

    The stars were aligned! I had two consecutive successful days of raw feeding for the Blondies – yesterday and today! All four ate raw food for breakfast!! That’s a record breaking feat! Our ginger girls – why do I still keep using the pronoun “he” for them until now?? Because 75% of gingers are males!…

  • Feline Gut Soothe for Indra

    I found out that Adored Beast has a very good pre-probiotic specially formulated for diarrhoea and loose stools, so I ordered it from the local seller, Honu Paws, and it was delivered the very next day. It arrived yesterday afternoon and I quickly gave some to Indra. For more info: https://adoredbeast.com/products/feline-gut-soothe It is amazing! This…

  • Visiting Nomi (Day 3)

    Today, Nicholas visited Nomi and I too went a bit later. Early this morning, the vet had already updated us about Nomi. Nomi has been alert and stable so far. Breathing still slightly laboured, will be doing another chest X-Ray again to assess her condition. She ate well. The small pocket of aid is normal…

  • Misty and Gerald (reunion videos)

    So after breakfast, Misty asked to go out to the porch again. She wanted to wait for Gerald. When she heard the familiar mewing from afar….. She ran to the garbage compartment! To welcome her best friend!! After eating, Gerald left for is ronda-ing again. Misty asked to come in again. We welcome Misty to…

  • Misty spent the night!

    Last night, after the thunderstorm, Misty came back to the porch. Even the during the thunderstorm, we opened the door, but she wasn’t around. I think Misty has a bomb shelter somewhere, because she is never wet when she comes back from a storm, no matter how heavy it is. So, we let her into…

  • Raw food, anyone?

    As you know, Riley is so, so difficult to feed (raw food). She’s a junkie. So, I’ve been handfeeding her raw food twice a day for many months now. Yes, every single day. By handfeeding, it means I actually put the food into her mouth and she swallows it. It’s more like force-feeding but no…

  • Indra’s loose stools update

    We still have not resolved Indra’s loose stools problem. But demeanour-wise, she is as active as ever. Here, she is doing battle with Robin. Her appetite is also very good. So going by my raw-feeding friend’s long-time advice, “they are just detoxing, leave them alone”. That is what he said about Indy last time and…

  • Misty’s visit and orientation

    Misty invited herself into the house today! My ultimate aim is for Misty to want to come and live inside the house on her own. Right now, her best friend is still Gerald and Gerald doesn’t want to live indoors. In fact, this morning, at 1.30am, Gerald was whining from the back row of houses.…

  • Indra’s loose stools updates

    Yesterday I had already started Indra on raw rabbit. I force fed her about a teaspoon since she will not eat it on her own. This morning, I found a bit of loose stools, but not as much as in previous days. This is her favourite spot now. But she’s here this morning when I…

  • Misty invites herself into the house!

    If one day Misty is happy to live in the Safehouse with Tabs and Riley, that would be good, but for now, she still wants to be free. This morning, Misty invited herself into the house. Eating here. But right after eating, she wanted to go out. Okay, Misty. I respect your wishes. Gerald came…

  • Keeping fit and healthy….for our animals

    Allow me to digress a little from our usual stories about animals and talk about fitness and health, because as caregivers, we really need to be as fit and as healthy as we can in order to look after our animals. This is about my mother, who turned 91 today! On 1st May 2024, just…

  • Indra’s loose stools

    Indra’s stools are still pasty. I think she must have known that I want to monitor her stools so she did it for me to see to save me the trouble to sifting through hours of CCTV footage! I pounded the Pro-Fibre (which the vet affectionately calls “rabbit food” because it looks like that!) and…

  • Gerald and Misty’s breakfast

    Breakfast at 5am this morning. Misty only came in when Gerald did, but the moment I closed the door ever so softly, she stopped eating and headed for the door. “I’m not going to be trapped again!”, she said. So ok, not trapping anyone. Eat.

  • Down memory lane with Puffin and Remirth

    People are often so surprised when they hear I used to have dogs. “YOU had dogs??” Well yes, I grew up with dogs since I was 8 years old. My mother didn’t like cats (my father did!), so we never had cats at all. We had dogs, chickens, ducklings, rabbits and geese, all as pets.…
