  • Cow Mau eats chicken meat!!

    Another milestone!! I remember how I finally managed to feed Vincent five years ago when he was literally dying from CKD. His mouth ulcers were so bad he couldn’t eat anything….until one day, I figured it out (or did Vincent tell me telepathically?) – cut-up raw chicken meat (I used chicken fillet because it was…

  • Naughty Akira’s eating preference

    This morning, I managed to get Kai and Samantha to eat raw food. Indra has been boycotting raw food for many days now, wanting either kibble or cut-up raw chicken breast meat (okay, still raw, but not balanced). Akira did not want to eat too. After piling and replenishing Samantha and Kai’s bowls until they…

  • Cow Mau drinks another 7ml of liquid food!

    I didn’t dare push it, but I thought I sensed Cow Mau wanted food again and this time, I was right! I prepared 3 mls of Japanese food and 4ml of diluted Hill’s KD. He finished all plus an additional 1.5ml of water!! Initially, he tried to fight it off, but after 2 syringes, he…

  • Cow Mau drank some Japanese food!!

    I sensed that Cow Mau wanted his RetroMAD1 and some food. I don’t know how it works, but I just sensed it. So I tried. He willingly took his RetroMAD1, and then I managed to syringe-feed him 4ml of the Japanese liquid food!! I almost cannot believe this! He was sitting in his favourite spot…

  • Another “gift” from Misty

    Misty brought back a dead lizard to our porch today. No wonder both weren’t very hungry this morning. Sigh… Gerald called for a mid-morning snack later. I doubt they ate the poor lizard, though. It was intact. Maybe the hunt itself was satisfying. And only Misty hunts, not Gerald. But both decided they weren’t very…

  • Testing a new kind of toothbrush

    I bought these toothbrushes from Shopee. They are Japanese-made. It claims to have a rotating brush, but I doubt it rotates when brushing. It’s just a 360 degree brush, that’s all. Riley is the most obliging cat. Akira doesn’t like it. But she was okay with the rubber brush earlier on. Indra and Kai didn’t…

  • Cow Mau, watching the Blondies’ antics

    Imagine how quiet it would have been in Bunny’s Place now if I hadn’t brought in Samantha to let her deliver safely in the bedroom. Then, we wouldn’t have the naughty Blondies. And it would only be Cow Mau and Indy left in Bunny’s Place now. It would have been very, very quiet. The Blondies…

  • 6.25am – Cow Mau is at peace

    About 40 minutes after the Furosemide injection, Cow Mau was not at where he was earlier. I had placed a liner under his bottom half in case he needed to urinate, but instead, I found him walking outside. Then I saw a long stream of urine in the pantry so I suspect that must be…

  • Cow Mau, calm and at peace

    I got up at 3.25am this morning to check on Cow Mau. Yesterday, after being on the oxygen, I think he felt better and he got up and walked to the garden to sit in his favourite spot. Whenever he was in the room, I did my best to follow him around with the nasal…

  • An rented oxygen concentrator for Cow Mau

    I finally managed to get the oxygen concentrator for Cow Mau despite the horrendous traffic jam. This is the difference between an oxygen tank and an oxygen concentrator: Oxygen tanks or oxygen cylinders are metal tanks containing pressurized oxygen. To use these tanks, a line of tubing is connected to the tank at one end…

  • Helping Cow Mau with his breathing

    We made it to the vet’s and back. Luckily we didn’t have to wait long at all. I’m so grateful the clinic slotted us in. The vet said Cow Mau has deteriorated and the priority now is to take care of his breathing. When we reached there, Cow Mau was struggling with his breathing. It…

  • Cow Mau has visitors

    Lunch break visiting. Little Jayden visiting after his Playgroup. We’ll be going to the vet’s this afternoon. I will ask if it’s possible to do some acupuncture to give Cow Mau some comfort and wellness.

  • Iron Cat got up and walked!

    After lying laterally recumbent for about 4.5 hours listening to soothing chanting, with laboured breathing, Cow Mau started lifting his head a few times. And then he sat up. And stood up. So I decided to take him to lie down at his favourite place for some morning sunshine. But he decided he wanted to…

  • Cow Mau is very weak

    I am writing this in the dark with Cow Mau lying beside me on a pillow. In the past few days, he had actually been getting weaker. Sometimes, he would just lie laterally recumbent for a long time, sleeping. He already has trouble walking as his hind legs are very weak. While we were concentrating…

  • Who is being nebulised?

    Who is inside the nebuliser carrier? It’s Indy. He’s been having some runny nose for a few mornings now, but it is only in the mornings and it didn’t seem serious. I gave him Cetirizine and Vetri DMG and he seemed fine. But the runny nose started again yesterday, today and even this evening, so…
