  • AIM snacks for Tabs and Ginger

    I’ve given the AIM kibble and AIM supplements, both of which Tabs and Ginger liked. This evening, I tried the AIM snacks from Ciao. Tabs didn’t like it neat, but when mixed with her canned food, she ate it up. This is the AIM snack from Ciao, Inaba. Ginger had no problem eating the snack…

  • AIM supplements for Ginger and Tabs

    This morning, I tried the AIM supplements on Ginger and Tabs. Both loved it! I guess it must be very tasty. It is a powder packed in sachets. About AIM: https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/focus/en/features/z1304_00039.html Tabs is one of our hardest cats to feed now. I noticed her appetite isn’t so good these few weeks. Tabs has PKD and…

  • Robin is okay!

    Ok, the two-day monitoring has passed now, and Robin is fine! He is a very, very manja cat. I’m so glad he is okay. I will definitely think twice before giving him another spot-on since he is so flexible that he can turn back to lick the spot. Up to mischief…stalking Rey. This is their…

  • AIM food from Japan!!

    Direct from Japan! Many thanks to my friends, Andy & Emily, who were travelling in Japan. They helped me purchase these: These are supplements. These are snacks. These are two brands of kibble. This is Tabs eating it. And Ginger. And Ginger sapu habis.  We have two CKD cats now, Tabs and Ginger, both at…

  • Creamy visits

    Creamy came today, but he didn’t stay long enough in the porch. By the time I came out, he had already gone. But I saw him at the playground later, so I brought some food to him there. He didn’t want any of it. Creamy is also rather choosy. Despite waiting for him, he didn’t…

  • The difference between girls and boys (the cat version)

    Here it is, with photo proof: It’s the same scratching post, bought from Pet Lovers’ Centre. This was bought last year, around April 2023, meant for Hiro, but after he passed away, Tabs and Riley took over using it. So it’s about one year old now. This was bought barely two months ago, for the…

  • “Projek Makan” for the Blondies

    It’s not that they have nothing to eat, it’s just that they are so, so choosy! This morning, Kai ate Cindy’s Complete Pate. The rest didn’t want it at all, not even Samantha, who is probably the least fussy of them all. Akira ate Cubgrub but only at this specific spot. No other spot is…

  • Robin is all okay this morning

    Robin appears to be all okay this morning! None the worse. Eating his normal amount too. One more day of monitoring him… Meanwhile… Rey continues taunting and bullying Samantha. The Blondie Army is all ready and not taking this sitting down. “Bring in on, you big bully!”

  • Is the grass greener on the other side?

    To the Monsters, it’s a resounding YES!! And they probably mean that literally too, because by coming over the Bunny’s Place, they get to eat grass!! This was breakfast this morning, before the whole Advocate-licking fiasco by Robin. Then I let them go over to Bunny’s Place. They haven’t been over for at least two…

  • The super fussy Blondies

    I decided to try a new food for the Blondies today since they are so incredibly fussy. This is Cindy’s Complete Pate. It isn’t a new food, though. I’ve tried it before last time on our cats, but our cats didn’t much like it then. This was before the Monsters or the Blondies’ time. The…

  • Robin’s updates

    Robin gave me a scare this morning when he licked the Advocate spot-on on his fur and started foaming at the mouth. I administered first aid by flushing his mouth with the garden hose and gave him two charcoal tablets. I also contacted four vets for advice and was told there was no need to…

  • Creamy returns again!

    Creamy came to our porch yesterday. I think his family may have balik kampung and he came to ask for food. This happens quite often during festivals when families go back to their hometowns and some of them leave their cats out. However, he didn’t stay long enough yesterday for me to feed him. But this…

  • Emergency first aid for Robin this morning – what to do at home in case of accidental poisoning

    It happened at 9am this morning. I had noticed that Robin has a fur-thinning problem at his flanks in his lower back and this is usually flea-allergy dermatitis, which isn’t life-threatening but can be solved using Advocate spot-on. I’ve had a few cats with this problem before, namely, Tabs and Gerald, in recent years. So…

  • Ryan & Jayden play with the cats

    With the Monsters! Riley and Tabs have already gone into hiding!

  • Early this morning

    I got up at 3am today. Some people are going to get very upset because I got up “so early”, but they forget to ask what time I slept last night. Haha. I slept at 8pm. So that’s 7 hours of sleep, which is quite sufficient for an elderly person like me. Also, in yoga,…
