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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Yes, literally. Husband came up with two ideas for Gerald’s incessant whining. Either we record his stern voice telling Gerald to keep quiet and play it when he is at work (which I doubt would work)… OR We throw him to the wolves.  Meaning, we put him in Ginger’s Catio where the wolf pack dwells.…

This evening, Gerald was whining incessantly again. He did this after he had a hearty dinner. Lepas makan, bising tak henti-henti.  I was feeding the Blondies and the whining was driving me up the wall too. I tried various ways to make him stop, but none of them worked. So, I called in reinforcement, the…

One year ago, they were deadly fight-till-the-death enemies on the street. Now, they are eating in close proximity! Enemies to frenemies to friends? Good for you both, Misty and Samantha! But even last time, it was Samantha who attacked Misty because she didn’t like Misty entering “her zone” (our porch). Misty was the newcomer. Let’s…

I spoke way too soon. Gerald started his incessant whining again, and it’s as bad as Day One. He started last night, or rather, early this morning at 3am. I don’t know what prompted him to do it but I was still asleep upstairs and awakened by the whining. Worried that it would surely disturb…

One of my other big worry is that Misty won’t get along with Samantha, both being females. And both also being so close to Gerald. If you remember, more than a year ago, when both were pregnant on the street, Samantha chased Misty away and the two fought on the street, into the drain, out…

A Meatless Monday meal at the Indian restaurant! For the animals. For the planet. For our health.

Misty and Gerald have adjusted so much better than I’ve anticipated. Initially, I was so, so worried that they would be miserable without the freedom to roam, or that they would be so unhappy being confined. But it’s now almost exactly a week and it’s been so much better than I’ve expected. In was on…

“The floor is lava” is new to me, but the boys are quite crazed over it! Jayden decides to take care of his best friend, Ginger. Save Ginger from the lava!!!! Surprisingly, the Monsters aren’t at all affected by the smell of vinegar. Awww….Minnie and her hero!
