Our guava tree…and the dilemma
We have almost zero luck in planting anything, but by sheer luck, we managed to plant a guava tree and it actually fruited! We planted it from a seed of an organic guava. We haven’t really been 100% successful in enjoying our fruits, because half of them are eaten up by fruit fly larvae despite…

Please rain tonight
Please rain tonight. Not too heavy until it causes any flood, but just rain heavily enough so that the selfish humans cannot set up their fireworks and machine-gun firecrackers. SAY NO TO FIREWORKS. FUN ONLY FOR SOME HUMANS. SCARY FOR ANIMALS, BABIES AND THE ELDERLY.

Riley respects Mina’s space
When Dorami and Mina first came to our house (only for babysitting), Riley wanted very much to make friends with them. Dorami also responded positively, but once the cats settled in, Mina decided the bedroom is theirs and she hissed at Riley and “pushed” her to the attached bathroom. Since then, Riley still accompanies me…

The Blondies’ eating pattern
I wish the Blondies ate like the Monsters!! But they don’t. However, weight-wise, they are fine. All are above 4kg. All muscular, pretty much like the Monsters too. Perhaps it’s due to the platforms where they get to exercise daily! But truly, it would be so much easier if they would eat like the Monsters!…

Creamy returns again
This morning, when I went out to feed the Porch Cats, all three were there. Oh dear….what’s the relationship dynamics now? Just yesterday, husband says he saw Gerald chasing Creamy out of the porch. Hmm…really? I wasn’t there so I don’t really know, but if Gerald did chase Creamy out, I’d say that’s a good…

So close and so comfortable (the Blondies)
The only time I can get the Blondies together to eat a meal is when I offer them kibble, particularly the RC Dental kibble. They love that! It’s junk time!! I sure hope this dental kibble helps to “brush their teeth”, at least a little bit because it is impossible for me to physically brush…

Worshipping Bastet?
According to ancient Egyptian history, Bastet was the goddess of protection, pleasure, and the bringer of good health. She had the head of a cat and a slender female body. Bastet was the daughter of Ra, sister of Sekhmet, the wife of Ptah, and the mother of Mihos. Since the Second Dynasty, Bastet was worshiped as a deity, most…

Riley’s smart smuggle operation
We are talking about these small balls that Dorami plays with. Dorami and Mina are staying with us for a few days, but for their safety, they are confined in the big bedroom upstairs. Riley, the KPC, follows me up to feed Dorami and Mina for every meal. For the past few days, I’ve been…

Another “strike lottery” meal for the Blondies!
A meal where everyone ate! As you can see, everyone is eating at a different spot in the garden. I didn’t manage to take all the photos, though. I was too busy replenishing everyone’s bowl. So, even though very often I miss my daily walk, I think walking to and fro in the garden just…

Creamy returns again….Gerald is terrified
Creamy came this morning. Out of goodwill, I offered him some food. He only came for the raw food. My guess is, he doesn’t get it from his house. Misty was here too. But Gerald was no where to be seen. I thought Gerald hadn’t come yet. But I was wrong. Poor Gerald was actually…

A “strike lottery” meal for the Blondies!
Today is the Blondies’ first birthday! Happy Birthday, Indra! You are the youngest. Happy Birthday, Akira. You are the middle child. Happy Birthday, Kai, the eldest! Good job, Samantha! I say it is a “strike lottery” meal because everyone ate…haha. It’s rare to get everyone to eat a meal. Normally, one or two will boycott…

Our first visitor for Chinese New Year – Creamy returns!!
This was not entirely unexpected. I was hoping Creamy would return, a better cat and no longer a bully. Voila! He turned up this morning at our front door with Misty. Gerald was not here anymore at that time; he usually eats breakfast and goes off to gallivant a bit. So I’m not entirely sure…

After the dreadful fireworks
I’m so glad Misty came back this morning. But it was only Misty initially. I fed her first while I went out to call of Gerald. Misty ate a little bit; she must be quite hungry. It was only about five minutes later that I heard the familiar mewing. Gerald is back!!! Poor cats…I wonder…

Happy 1st Birthday, Blondies!!
The Blondies celebrate their 1st birthday today, coincidentally with this year’s Chinese New Year! Exactly one year ago, on 10th February 2023, the Blondies were born at 12noon, with Kai leading, followed by Akira and Indra, each one 30 minutes apart. In cat years, the Blondies are equivalent to 15 year-old teenagers now!

Push to create awareness on the dangers of fireworks
I know it’s the first day of Chinese New Year. But I’ve been up since 2.30am today. I am very, very upset with the fireworks at my neighbourhood last night and this is despite the fact that our neighbourhood claims to be an “educated” one and I had already shared all the dangers of fireworks…
