  • 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…

  • Getting the Blondies to eat – still a work in progress

    I only managed to get Kai to eat this morning. The rest weren’t interested in food. But when I say “eat”, I mean raw food. Only Kai ate. Samantha and Indra barely ate. Sure, they look like they are eating in the photo, but it’s more like licking a bit and running away to play.…

  • Our portable serai plant

    Friends have helped me check websites and most of them lists lemongrass (serai) as one of the plants that deter snakes. However, this may not be applicable to our Malaysian species because another friend told me that snakes were found coiled around her serai plants. In any case, I have always failed to plant lemongrass…

  • Gerald starts whining again after a day’s rest

    The whining has started again today. I wonder if it’s because he whined nonstop for two days earlier, so he needed a day to rest his voice, and he has restarted it today. First thing in the morning, Rey had already climbed up to the top to irritate the Blondies. I can never be fast…

  • All quiet on the western front

    It is now 11.30pm. Gerald has been quiet all day!! Except for some whining before dinner and after, which is reasonable, he’s really been quiet. What sorcery is this, right? But seriously, aren’t you both glad you have a warm bed to sleep in each night now? No more having to hide in drains or…

  • Hmm….what happened, Gerald?

    I’m wondering if I should even report this….(for fear of jinxing it!!) As much as I’m not superstitious or try not to be, when Gerald’s whining is so “deafening”, I’m prepared to do anything or believe in anything, just to have some peace! Since this morning, at 5.30am, he only whined a tiny bit. Each…

  • Why the radio silence now?

    For some reason, Gerald was suddenly quiet at about 6pm. Hmm….what happened? Nothing happened, really. He wasn’t asleep too. He isn’t mewing in this photo. He was yawning. Gerald and Misty have taken possession of this shelf. That’s fine because it’s not the Blondies’. The thing is, Misty and Gerald are still adhering to their…
