  • Gerald came back for dinner

    I heard faint mewing from the neighbour’s roof and Misty bounded ever so happily to greet her best friend, Gerald, coming back from somewhere, as usual. Gerald’s back for dinner! Gerald likes canned food. And I invited both of them in. I also closed the door to see how they would react. After eating, Gerald…

  • Misty’s in the porch, and the house!

    Misty came into the house and went into the kitchen for dinner just now. That is Misty eating dinner. She loves kibble. Even before this, Gerald seldom came for dinner. He would come for tea time, usually. So I think he has a “home” somewhere, and perhaps that was why he was whining and pining…

  • The reinforced cat tree

    As promised, Tony came to reinforce the cat tree yesterday. With extra screws and soldering, it is as solid as steel now and not at all wobbly. But guess what, nobody wanted to use it! When it was wobbly, everyone went up and wobbled around. Now, that it is super solid, nobody went up! Just…

  • The sound of silence (Misty and Gerald return)

    I woke up this morning to the peaceful sound of silence with only the distant chirping of birds. No cat woke me up. I woke up by myself. For 18 days, ever since I decided to bring in Gerald and Misty because of the reptilian encounter that night, Gerald’s incessant loud whining was the most…

  • Now, the two best friends are back outside

    I think Gerald came back to get Misty. He was whining in the porch, probably calling for Misty. So I opened the door, let him in, and I carried him with the hope that he would keep quiet, but he was restless and wanted to go back into Bunny’s Place. So I let him in…

  • The whiner is back

    It didn’t take long… Gerald came back whining in the porch and it’s 10.30pm now. I had to stop the whining. So, he’s back with me in the house now. Shh…..please, Gerald. Tentatively, if he behaves and doesn’t whine incessantly, he can stay, but if it gets too much, I’ll just have to release him…

  • Gerald goes back out

    The whining has been unbearable. And it’s in the dead of the night until the wee hours of morning. Nobody has any peace at all. We cannot sleep. All the other cats are also awakened by the constant nonstop loud and shrill whining. It’s just a matter of time before the neighbours lodge a complaint…

  • The younger wolf pack?

    Oh no! It looks like the Blondies are behaving like a wolf pack too! We brought in our portable serai plant for Tabs to eat, but Kai and Indra quickly surrounded the pot. What are you, Kai?  Guardian of the pot? Property of the Blondies. Everyone else, stay away! Akira joins her sisters. Poor Tabs…

  • A new big den and a cat tree for the Monsters!

    As you probably know, the Monsters have since destroyed every cat tree that I’ve bought for them, even the more solid and expensive ones. So I ordered a stainless steel cat tree from Golden Triology and it arrived today! This is the new cat tree, which is supposed to be super solid, but our Monsters…

  • The Rey Incursion

    Finally, caught on camera in the act after so long!! What can I say, right? The proof is all there. He does this every day. Meanwhile, we have cleared  off all bushy plants from our garden. It is a very Zen garden now. Zen and safer. We will probably just plant one tree with a…

  • Making bone broth for everyone

    I had not made bone broth for the cats for a long time now because we had CKD cats and it wasn’t suitable for them. I decided to make one batch yesterday to see if our newer cats would like it. Ingredients: – Chicken carcass – Water – Apple cider vinegar Instructions: Slow boil for…

  • Gerald incessant whining restarts

    After two days of “moderate” whining, Gerald decided to restart on High mode….at 2.45am this morning. This is why I’m up and writing this blogpost now. I was fast asleep after a really tiring day yesterday and for no apparent reason (or a reason unknown to me), Gerald started whining at 2.45am. Initially I thought…

  • Gerald, the alpha

    My vet-friend suggested that perhaps Gerald is whiny because he’s an alpha cat. I did not think so initially, but now I think she may be right. One of the first things Gerald did when I took him in was to “leave his mark” (by peeing) into every litter box he could find, and this…

  • Shh…all quiet in the hot afternoon

    Where is everyone on this hot, hot afternoon? Tabs in in plain sight. She never hides. By the way, that shaven part is from her ultrasound two weeks ago. From left: Samantha, Misty and Indra. Gerald, in Bunny’s Tunnel. I was careful not to wake him up, I tip-toed. Akira and Kai at the far…

  • The Monsters and a pinch of greens

    I added a teeny weeny pinch of greens powder into the Monsters’ raw food this morning (already laced with pre-probiotics and fish oil) and nobody complained! Semua sapu habis! Can’t say the same for the Blondies because getting them to eat is already a huge challenge every day. I only managed to get Indra to…
