  • Juno’s liquid stool update

    Juno is still passing liquid stools and she had not eaten on her own since yesterday afternoon. I got up at 5am this morning to check on her. There was no liquid stools or any stools since 9pm last night until this morning. But about two hours after syringe-feeding some Cindy’s pureed food, she passed…

  • Juno has liquid stools and no appetite

    Juno’s appetite hasn’t been too good today. But she is still active. For breakfast, she rejected all her usual food, including kibble, and only ate canned food. Then, later on, she had liquid stools. I noticed some upstairs and again, just now, at 5pm. I quickly called the vet’s but they could not slot me…

  • Fussy Indra and Akira

    Today is my lucky day! After three days of boycotting Cubgrub, Akira ate three helpings today, by herself! Akira only eats Cubgrub and cut-up raw chicken meat. She doesn’t eat Coco&Joe’s. Fussy calico! Samantha is the easiest amongst them, and next would be Kai. The fussiest are Akira and Indra. Indra didn’t want to eat.…

  • Indra and the Blondies’ meal updates

    Indra still had loose stools this morning. I found two clumps in the sandpit. Yesterday evening, the stools she presented at the pantry counter already had form, but this morning, it was totally pasty again. Today, I have given her Feline Gut Soothe three times and once of Fiber-Plus. Let’s hope her stools firm up…

  • Robin, as solid as Rey!

    I’ve written about this before, but I thought I should share it again for the benefit of new readers. All this while, Robin had always been smaller in size than Rey. Not only that, he is also very slim, so slim that if you look at him from above, he’s a “long” cat. If you…

  • Juno’s dinner

    The vet’s concern about raw food is that it’s not cooked and therefore may have a higher amount of bacteria and parasites. So I decided to steam a bit of Cubgrub’s CKD Chicken for Juno’s dinner. Amongst Cubgrub’s flavours, only the CKD Chicken can be steamed because it doesn’t contain any bone, only ground eggshell…

  • Juno’s first vaccination

    Juno had her check-up today. The vet gave her a very thorough examination. Her temperature was normal. PBF shows normal RBC and slightly elevated lymphocytes and allergic cells. The vet did explain that in kittens, we would sometimes see this as the body is building up immunity. Her submandibular (neck) lymph nodes are also slightly…

  • Grey climbs atop a table! (from Lee Soo Farng)

    Grey, despite his disabilities, can now climb onto a table! From this photo, it looks like his hind legs have some strength in them too!

  • Kai’s loose stool issue resolved!

    It’s been almost 36 hours since Kai’s last defecation of loose stools, so I think we can safely say the issue has been resolved! This is the product that did the trick. I quickly ordered it from the local seller, Honu Paws, yesterday morning and they were so kind to rush it over. It’s a…

  • Kai’s loose stools

    This morning, I saw loose stools in both litter boxes and Kai actually showed me by squatting at the sandpit and defecating. It was jelly-like stools. Normally, if I’m lucky, the cat will show me by defecating for me to see. Just to be sure it was only Kai, we checked the CCTV footage of…

  • Creamy’s chronic cough/sneezing

    Creamy has had this chronic cough/sneezing for a long time. It’s chronic but it’s not ongoing. It kind of reminds me of old people who cough or sneeze in the morning and then, they are okay throughout the day. Many months ago, I had wanted to take him to the vet, but I was concerned…

  • Juno’s hungry!

    Last night, Juno was leaping like a tiny little gazelle all over after eating her supper! This morning, she ate her regular staple food, Cubgrub’s Chicken! Yay! That’s a milestone. Maybe the nausea is over? Eating Cubgrub Chicken again. She was happily playing all over the house until I gave canned food to Gerald and…

  • “As long as you eat”, Juno

    In our cat household, the “as long as you eat” principle applies to seniors and those who are ill, so it applies to Juno now. This means, they can eat anything as long as they are willing to eat it. Ever since Juno came down with the suspected mycoplasma infection, she lost her appetite and…

  • Juno’s updates

    The short update is, Juno’s very active and her appetite is reasonably good. These are some photos from last night: She does take time to rest in between playing as well. As active as ever! Yesterday, she ate well. This is her supper of her favourite meal, Cubgrub’s raw quail. Last night, I had Riley…

  • Vet’s orders: Juno needs to rest

    Juno was playing and bouncing all over after coming home from the vet’s, especially when Jayden was around to play with her. I texted the vet and she said Juno should actually rest. We had a hard time keeping her down, because she was just so playful. After Jayden went home, we managed to make…
