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!

The Monsters were clearly quite significantly affected after we trimmed and thinned out the foliage in the Catio. But I think they are slowly adjusting to the “new environment” now. Rey Minnie Ginger Lynx Smurfy – he has gone very cranky. Robin – also a bit cranky. Today, they are eating well again. For the…

Well, Gerald settled in instantly, of course! Even the incessant whining has decreased a lot now, to almost none or only when he is hungry, which is totally reasonable. The Blondies love him and he’s made himself very at home. Misty, on the other hand, started by intimidating the Blondies, which isn’t surprising as it…

I didn’t know that trimming down the plants in the Catio would cause so much craziness and crankiness in the Monsters. They are clearly upset that their mini jungle has been thinned out. There’s no place to hide or take an afternoon nap there anymore. I think it shocked them, ie. “Oh no….what happened to…

Look, look!! Riley’s doing it! She’s just so clever, isn’t she? Riley, is what I would call, a heaven-sent cat. Although she grew up on the street (I think?), she’s so friendly and incredibly easy-going. And she strives to please. There’s also no hostility in her at all. The only issue I have with her…

And I’m not talking about being litter-box trained. That’s normal. All cats know that. No training is required, it’s instinctive. I’m talking about using our human toilet bowl. Now, for the past weeks, I’ve been seeing unflushed urine in the downstairs toilet bowl and wondering who forgot to flush. I found the answer this morning.…
