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.…

Our friend and contractor, Tony, arrived right on time at 10am this morning. Misty was wary of a stranger being in her territory, so she went up to the top-of-the-world platform. She did some down to kepoh a bit, but Samantha had already taken her basket. Tony examined this spot where I think the escape…

Haha….no. She is still here! Maybe her visiting hours to the neighbourhood is around mid-morning, after makan?  Last seen last night, she was in this basket, and she greeted me from the basket this morning too. Good morning, Misty! Glad you are still here. Gerald and Misty, at the door, waiting for breakfast. They usually…

When I got Misty to come in, I kept her in the Safehouse with Riley and Tabs. There’s no escape from here. But then she got restless and wanted to go and see Gerald, so I let her in. I know that from Bunny’s Place, if my guess is right, she will escape through that…

4.08pm – I saw Misty atop my car! Misty, you’re back!!! Come in, please come in. She wasn’t reluctant, which means, she probably doesn’t mind being in the house…. She just wants her freedom to roam. After all, she was born in the street and grew up there. Getting her to come in sure is…

Because of the recent reptilian experience, we thinned out all our plants, including the ones at Ginger’s Catio. The lower parts have all been removed so that we can see more clearly if there is anything hiding down there. The Monsters were very unhappy that their foliage has been reduced as they love to rest…

Ginger was already Jayden’s best friend when he first came to stay with us. That was when Jayden was just 2.5 months old. The two are still best friends now. Growing up with a pet or pets moulds a child’s personality. Children should not be deprived of the opportunity to learn kindness across species.

Creamy had not come for a few days now. I suspect his family must have returned after the holidays. But he is here right now. It is raining so heavily right now, but here he is. Misty is not here. She must have missed somewhere that she goes to and has gone there now.

Sigh…. I found the hole in Bunny’s Place from where Misty could have escaped. But the hole is not visible from the ledge and I cannot see how Misty would have discovered it at all, but there you go….. Cats are so, so smart. I have since contacted two contractors now to see who can…

I got up really early today and have not gone back to sleep yet. I’m going to konk out soon! So how is Gerald and Misty’s orientation going on so far? As you know, I was already contemplating bringing in Gerald and Misty and making them indoor cats. My neighbourhood doesn’t take kindly to street…
