  • Indra among the toys

    Portrait time!

  • Our Super Seniors’ updates – Cow Mau and Indy!

    It’s been eight days since Cow Mau was given his Solensia injection. This is an antibody that blocks the pain pathways, particularly suited for osteoarthritis, which Cow Mau also has. But our main aim is to help him with the mouth pain and pawing which disrupts his eating. So far, judging from his demeanour, I…

  • Jayden and the Blondies

    The Blondies were happily playing with Riley in the Safehouse when they were spotted by…Monster Jayden!!! That’s when they ran back….hoping to go into Bunny’s Room for shelter!! Help, help!! But Monster Jayden gave chase INTO the room as well!! Only Kai was brave enough to come out!!

  • And five’s certainly not a crowd!

    Samantha and the Blondies sometimes simply love to be in a crowd, especially when Indy is eating! A junk-eating session!!

  • Ramped up CKD battle plan for Indy! (and some reflections on probiotics)

    Indy now has a ramped up CKD battle plan!! As far as the vet is concerned, she has prescribed daily 250ml subcut for Indy which we had already started two days ago. She has also added Renal-P to Indy’s Renal-N so that phosphorus control is covered as well. On our own, we have doubled the…

  • A perfect raw-diet poop from Indra (and my post-Covid brain fog)!

    Maybe Indra wanted to reassure me that she’s completely recovered now, so she left a perfect-looking raw-diet poop (yes, just one beautiful piece!) along the wall in Bunny’s Room. I just found it a few minutes ago. The faeces of cats on a raw diet are typically small in size, crumbly and dry; this is…

  • Checking in on Indra, Cow Mau and Indy

    I got up at 3.30am this morning. I think Indra is all okay already! No poop. Cow Mau appears well this morning too, just a little dishevelled as he doesn’t groom himself much. I do brush his coat almost daily. It must be the osteoarthritis that is preventing him from self-grooming as his joints are…

  • And finally, Misty comes back!

    It’s been a very long day today. My day began at 2.45am this morning and I have not rested yet. When I finally finished managing all the cat matters, updating the new supplement regimens for Indy and Cow Mau, updated all the medical records, it was time to feed the cats their dinner. But…Misty did…

  • Indy to the vet’s (PCV up but creatinine also up)

    I’ve kept Indy for last, but it isn’t a case of keeping the very best for last. The good news first: Indy’s weight is maintained at 5.0kg and his PCV is up, at 35% (from 25%)! Updates: The 35% was a wrong reading. It was retested and it was only at 25%.   But the bad…

  • Cow Mau to the vet’s (Solensia injection administered)

    Next up is Cow Mau. Nothing seemed to be working for Cow Mau’s mouth pain now. Even the Metacam injection and the alternate-day Meloxicam oral medication didn’t help anymore. Neither does transdermal Tramadol, so as per the advice of our vet, I opted for the Solensia injection. The Solensia is not a “drug” but an…

  • Rey to the vet’s (lymph nodes back to normal size)

    Next up is Rey. I’m relieved that the lymph nodes on both sides of Rey’s neck are back to their normal size. The vet said the swelling of these lymph nodes aren’t very worrying as it could also be caused by gum inflammation. So the vet checked Rey’s mouth and he has some tartar, so…

  • Gerald to the vet’s (symmetrical alopecia)

    “Symmetrical alopecia” sounds almost frightening, except it isn’t. It means balding in a symmetrical fashion! Operasi 4 Kucing started at 10.40am this morning… …with little Jayden’s help! We carted all four mewing cats to the vet’s, but not before mildly sedating them with transdermal Gabapentin. Still the Gabapentin did nothing to quieten Gerald down. He…

  • Gerald – secured!

    Gerald had been calling for breakfast for a bit too long by the time I finished writing that previous post, so I decided not to risk it by delaying it any longer. Otherwise, he might just give up and go look for food elsewhere. So I quickly brought food out and oh no!! Gerald and…

  • The Monsters’ crossing

    The Monsters have not been allowed to come over to Bunny’s Place for a few days now and this morning, they were waiting at Stargate with so much hope in their faces. I had to let them come over, at least to eat grass. Everyone came over except the most cautious one, Minnie. But then…

  • Indra check and Love Bugs to all

    Dateline: 11th Nov 2023 at 2.45am. I got up early today. This must mean I must be getting better from the after-effects of the dreadful Covid-19! I went to check on Indra and she seemed fine. There was no poop along the wall in her usual spots. Also, none in the sandpit or near the…
