  • Poor Tabs

    The fireworks have started and Tabs is terrified. I expect there will be the bombs and blasts tonight. Please rain. Please. A former applicant texted me to wish me Happy Chap Goh Mei this morning. I returned the wish but I added “Please say NO to fireworks”. To many, they normally will not reply and…

  • Feeding the Blondies

    The Blondies are still keeping to their pattern of eating a full meal once in two days and grazing after that. Well, perhaps the frequency has reduced to once in 1.5 days now. I was told that some cats just like to graze and do not like to eat two square meals per day. This…

  • The problem that Creamy causes

    Creamy came back again this morning. Gerald was back as well and remained only at the door mat while Creamy and Misty were at the feeding station. I quickly fed Creamy some raw food hoping he’d go away after that. Misty was eating as well but clearly she wasn’t exactly comfortable. Maybe it’s because her…

  • Jayden and the Monsters!

    Jayden loves our cats. Here he is with Lynx. But he is safest with his best friend, Ginger. Ginger has been Jayden’s friend since Jayden was 2+ months old!

  • Feeding our CKD cats and Cow Mau

    We have three CKD cats now – Indy (Stage 4), Tabs (Stage 2) and Ginger (early Stage 2). Cow Mau has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or congestive heart failure. These are our senior cats. Tabs has PKD (polycystic kidney disease where her kidneys is filled with many fluid-filled cysts). PKD usually happens in pedigree cats and…

  • Why is everyone spooked this morning?

    It must be the dreaded fireworks last night. Many of our cats were very spooked this morning. Gerald was already spooked last night when he came to our window upstairs and started mewing loudly. It was at 3am in the morning and I was so worried the neighbour would complain. I opened the window to…

  • Jayden feeds the Monsters

    Jayden has been making all kinds of Play-Doh foods for us. It’s his new craze! He also did not forget the cats and made them pretend food too. He first offered his Play-Doh cat food to Riley but she didn’t know how play pretend. And she ran away. So I let him offer it to…

  • A Calico mother-and-daughter portrait

    I think in no time, Akira will be the same size as her mother, Samantha!

  • The Monsters vs the Blondies

    Everybody’s in this photo this morning. And as always, it’s a total joy to feed the Monsters because they have a terrific appetite. I cannot say the same of the Blondies, though. It’s considered VERY lucky that I could get at least three of them together for a meal this morning. Normally, they will all…

  • The Creamy-Gerald antagonism continues

    Sigh…it’s resumed, actually. Creamy has come back, not necessarily for food, just to occupy our porch. Out of courtesy, I offered some food. He wasn’t particularly hungry, actually, but he ate, perhaps also out of courtesy! Misty doesn’t really feel comfortable with Creamy. But she also ate some. Actually, when Creamy comes, Misty sounds the…

  • Ah…raining a day too late!

    There was very heavy rain at our place just now. Thunder and the works, but still not as bad as fireworks. Tabs is our most scaredy cat. She would quickly ask to be let into the storeroom during thunderstorms. Wished it rained rhinos and hippos last night. A day too late!

  • Kai fights back to protect her territory

    For a few weeks now, the Blondies (yes, all females) have been spraying urine around the house whenever they come out to play. Before I go any further, I would just like to say this: Neutering stops the aggression and competitive behaviours due to mating, but it might not stop the territorial behaviour or even…

  • After another dreadful fireworks-filled night

    Jade Emperor’s birthday came and went last night. The fireworks was madness, but thank goodness there was none of that war-zone machine-gun blasts last night. Probably that fellow isn’t Hokkien or he just doesn’t celebrate the Jade Emperor’s birthday. Fireworks should be banned. There is no two ways about it. But if there HAS to…

  • The mad and bomb-like fireworks are starting now….

    Please keep your animals safe. If your animals are indoors, turn up your TV to try and drown out the noise. But with this new type of bomb-sounding fireworks, it is just too deafening to be drowned out by any other noise. If your animals are outdoors, bring them in, if you can. Unfortunately, this…

  • Happiness is playing with a kitten at a cafe, or anywhere!

    Jayden grew up surrounded by all our cats, so he loves them. Here’s Jayden at the swimming pool cafe, playing with a little kitten. It’s really so nice to see animals being allowed to roam around at the cafe. Jayden had a nice time playing with the kitten while we waited for our food to…
