  • 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…

  • Jayden and Gerald, and some thoughts about FIV

    When I brought Jayden back from Playgroup today, he hugged Gerald and called him “Cow Mau”. Misty, being female, is still cautious with Jayden. I think female cats are 10 times more cautious than males. You’re a good boy, Gerald. Now, we are actually contemplating if we should bring Gerald and Misty into Bunny’s Place.…

  • So, so quiet in the house

    With Cow Mau and Indy gone, the entire house has suddenly become so, so quiet. Even though we still have 12 cats living in the house, it’s still so…empty, even though I need to fix some damaged rain gutters, is okay because I got a service to help me with this. And it wasn’t that…

  • In loving memory of our one-and-only Indy Jones (an adventure spanning 16 wonderful years!)

    Indy was rescued at about 2 weeks old from a deep drain on 31st May 2008. An acquaintance who discovered him in a drain had requested help with rescue as well as to foster him for a week while she went back to her hometown for a holiday. Indy stayed with us for 16 years.…

  • The boys pay their last respects to Indy

    Sihui brought Ryan and Jayden over to pay their last respects to Indy this morning. Ryan left for school after that while Jayden will be at our house all day. The boys are too young to understand what death is. But maybe when they grow older and look back at the photographs, they will understand…

  • Saying our goodbyes to Indy

    Ming-Yi and Jia-Wen came over last night. When we shifted to this present house in January 2012, we brought along all our seven cats with our dog, Bobby. Now, only Tabs is left from this group. We’ve said goodbye to Bobby, Tiger, Pole, Bunny, Cleo, Cow Mau and now, Indy. Suddenly, there is this huge…

  • Goodbye, our dearest Indy

    Indy passed away very peacefully at 6.55pm this evening. I was with him almost two hours prior to his passing, and I was there with him all the way. We would like to thank all dear friends who have been with us on Indy’s journey, especially his last lapse. Thank you very much for your…
