  • 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,…

  • The Monsters’ fantastic appetite!

    This is the Monsters’ breakfast. The canned chicken is for Ginger because sometimes, in the morning, he just prefers cooked food. Maybe it’s too early to eat raw food? I really don’t know but I’ve noticed this preference in him. But by evening, Ginger will be okay with raw food. There is also probiotics and…

  • The Blondies’ new den

    During Cow Mau’s final days, he slept at this spot a lot and sometimes the Blondies would accompany him too. It’s a good earthing spot. Now, it is the Blondies’ new family den. Bunny’s Place has a room with air-cont, a pantry and garden with grass, soil and sunshine. Now, it’s the property of the…

  • Pogonatherum for the Blondies!

    Goodness me, what is that big word, Pogonatherum? Haha… It’s what we called, affectionately, “Heidi’s Grass” because Heidi was the one who “discovered” it at the playground and that’s how we brought it back to plant. The cats love it and I think it might have medicinal value. They simply love munching on it. So…

  • My new targets

    With Cow Mau and Indy gone now, I have to get back to certain issues which I had shelved because I had to give priority to looking after Cow Mau and Indy in their respective final weeks. One is getting the Blondies to eat more raw food failing which, then wet food instead of depending…

  • My daily “Blue Zone” workout

    Every day, I take care of all our cats’ needs and this often involves some sort of physical workout. My husband calls it my Blue Zone workout. If you are a follower of Dan Buettner’s research, you will know about the Blue Zones and one thing in common in these zones where people live so…

  • Indy’s cremains are back with us

    Indy’s cremains came back to us this evening. Cow Mau and Indy – united forever in our hearts. You can shed tears that they are gone Or you can smile because they lived. You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all they…

  • Ginger and Jayden are featured on FMT!

    Thank you, Lena Toon! The interview was done some months ago and I was just informed the article came out today. I hope by such sharing, it would encourage more people to let young children grow up with pets. Children learn love, respect and responsibility caring for pets. Street animals need a loving home. We…

  • Waiting for AIM food and medicine to come to our shores

    I’ve written a few blogposts about the AIM research in Japan conducted by Professor Toru Miyazaki. Since then, I have been receiving many emails, all from westerners, asking for this medicine and food. Most of the cat parents who have written to me are all desperate and some are even willing to fly their CKD…

  • The Blondie Army takes over

    Now, only the Blondie Army lives in Bunny’s Place. Riley is totally welcome and comes over often. She is also a “citizen”. Tabs is also welcome. I don’t know what will happen if I open Stargate and let Ginger and the Monsters in. I’m not going to try at this point since Rey has been…
