  • Another Mission: Possible (getting all of the Blondies and Samantha to eat a meal!)

    As you know, the Blondies and their mum aren’t eaters. They can easily skip a meal just to play. They are not like the Monsters at all. The Monsters are a total joy to feed because they love to eat! The Blondies prefer to play; and Samantha goes on intermittent fasting quite often. However, based…

  • Mission: Possible (getting Minnie to eat probiotics)

    It had been a Mission: Impossible earlier on. Minnie would not lick the probiotics (mixed with tasty Ciao treat) by herself and if I added it into her food, she would boycott the entire meal and starve. So I didn’t pursue it for some time. For the Ginger and the Monsters, it was fairly easy.…

  • The Blondies’ family portrait

    On a rainy day… The Blondies are only 9 months old. But my, how they have grown! Indra is asleep… Hi Indra! Akira has very big round eyes! Kai is the eldest, followed by Akira and Indra. Indra was neglected by Samantha, so I ended up handfeeding all three of them! Samantha wasn’t exactly too…

  • Jayden hugs Cow Mau!

    Aww….these are definitely for the album! Jayden asked to come into Bunny’s Room and hugged Cow Mau!! Awww….of course Cow Mau is very huggable! Don’t go away, Cow Mau! Jayden then climbed up the bed, wanting to hug Indra, but she ran for her life! Then she went for Akira and Kai had already gone…

  • Junkie Riley and Greenies

    This is a rare sight. Riley eating raw food all by herself. Very, very rare. Normally I have to finger feed her. This is indeed a must-buy-lottery moment! A treat of Greenies after that. For Greenies and kibble, there is absolutely no problems at all in getting her to eat on her own. She is…

  • Gerald, Misty and Jayden at the park

    A photography session! Oops, this is Gerald, not Ginger! But ginger cats are always so obliging. What a totally majestic post from Misty! Bubble time!! All by himself!!

  • 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…
