  • The Selangor state exco says it will review its catch-and-kill approach

    The link was shared with us: https://www.facebook.com/share/K2PxGZP6pHiSfjHr/? We hope the state government will read the comments from the ordinary folks in both this Facebook link and the MalaysiaKini link so that they know what the people want. As so many of the comments say, animal lovers and organisations have been appealing for years and years…

  • Rey causes havoc…from the other side of Stargate

    I didn’t have my phone with me when I caught Rey having climbed all the way up to the top of Stargate to disturb Indra this morning after breakfast. He had climbed up from his side, just using his claws to hang on to the gate without any platform to rest on. By the time…

  • Indy’s morning

    I restarted Indy on whatever he was willing to take – Azodyl, Amlodipine and a little bit of Hill’s KD canned food. He does like the Japanese milk too so I’m giving him that, and only as much as he is willing to take. I was very careful with giving only tiny bits of Hill’s…

  • Near-midnight check on Indy

    I managed to feed Indy a very small dinner of the Japanese milk. Ming-Yi dropped by after work to visit him too. He’s been hiding under the bed, which has been his favourite spot for quite long now. To get to him, I need to remove one of the tunnels and go from the back,…

  • Jayden visits Indy and Ginger

    Jia-Wen brought Jayden over to visit Indy today. I have not seen Jayden for so many days now. Hi Indy! Jayden is helping me with Indy’s feeding. Jayden played with Ginger too. And later, with Riley too. Meanwhile, Indy’s vet texted to ask about him and I told her the details. Based on Indy’s condition…

  • Indy, as stoic as ever and reflections on life

    I slept next to Indy last night. In the middle of the night, he came out from the carrier and sat on the floor. He looked “well”. I gave him some water by syringe too and he did not reject it. At this stage, it’s all about how well I can “read” what Indy wants.…

  • Indy is alert and drinks Japanese milk

    Indy is getting more alert. I gave him another dose of Sucralfate (it is to coat the stomach to patch up any bleeds) and decided to try some Glucolin water. I was surprised that he didn’t mind it at all. So I tried some Japanese milk and Indy didn’t object, he swallowed all of it,…

  • Indy wakes up from the morphine

    Indy was given a small dose of morphine at the vet’s so that he could sleep comfortably under sedation. After about five hours, Indy woke up! The oxygen concentrator arrived at 3pm, earlier than expected. The delivery man was so kind, he rushed it over. Ming-Yi and I immediately installed it and we could see…

  • Keeping vigil beside Indy

    The Blondies and I are keeping vigil beside Indy now. Indy is sleeping quietly. His breathing is regular and not laboured at all. He is at peace. This probably did not happen suddenly. But Indy showed absolutely no signs. However, at Stage 4 CKD, there really is nothing more we could do. I requested enough…

  • Indy’s sudden downturn

    Indy suddenly vomited blood this morning. He wasn’t happy with breakfast and subcut. After that, he vomited blood three times. I rushed him to the vet’s. His kidney readings are all off the roof and he is very, very anaemic, with an HCT reading of only 6.4%, which is the lowest I’ve ever seen in…

  • The Blondies, after the war

    I guess the war made them hungry. Only Indra was too busy to eat this morning. Later, I managed to make her eat canned food (well, at least it’s wet food and not kibble). So now, two Blondies know how to eat canned food – Kai and Indra. A well-deserved rest after the big war…

  • Indy wants to be fed?

    Indy shows interest in food, but I think he wants to be fed. I’ll just continue to feed him three times a day if that’s what he wants. He’s otherwise very alert.

  • The Blondie Army vs Rey

    This morning, there was a horrendous earth-shattering shrieking war at Stargate. When I rushed out to check, it was Rey. He had scaled up Stargate, with four sets of claws clutching onto the netting, waging a war with Samantha who was on the platform over on her side. I quickly stopped the war before it…

  • Our last Cow bites

    Ming-Yi showed me her last Cow Mau bite. I have one too, at exactly the same spot on the left hand. And remember the terrible Cow bite I got in December 2023 which turned real bad and I had to go to the clinic daily for dressing? And an over-enthusiastic doctor almost wanted to cut…

  • Finally….Indy eats by himself!!

    The magic finally happened this evening!! Slowly, slowly….sniff, sniff, sniff….and then he started eating!! I have waited six long days for this to happen! Indy didn’t eat very much, but the fact that he even ate by himself is a very, very good start!
