  • Indra eats some kibble

    It was at 9.58am that Indra looked a bit hungry. I offered raw food but she sniffed at it and walked off. Then, I offered some kibble and she ate some of it. So that’s her second meal of the day. She didn’t eat it as voraciously as yesterday, though. No poop detected anywhere so…

  • Gerald’s worrisome lightening flanks

    I’ve noticed recently that both sides of Gerald’s flanks have been lightening in colour, from his radiant ginger stripes to a very light colour. I did a search on Google and it says it’s sometimes normal that cats’ pigmentation undergo changes; it could be caused by harmless genetic mutations or even life-threatening diseases. Gerald doesn’t…

  • Indra’s progress

    There was no massive puddly poop this morning, which is good. There was only a tiny itty bitty spot of loose stools at Indra’s regular spot along the wall of the room. So tiny, it’s almost negligible! But I did noticed well-formed soft stools at Indra’s right most far-end corner of the shared sandpit. There…

  • Indra eats every 1-2 hours now!

    Wow, Indra is certainly catching up for the two lost days! And there I was worried about her losing weight… But she’s only eating her new-found tasty junk food – kibble!! At 2.25pm, Indy came to the screen door to ask for food. Indy and Cow Mau get to eat whenever they please. They are,…

  • Hungry Indra eats….kibble??!!

    Yes, she must be REALLY hungry!! I was doing some work in the garden when I suddenly caught a glimpse of Indra walking towards a bowl of remaining kibble. Then she started eating it! What??? Indra has never touched kibble before! She must be really, really hungry now. I was at odds wondering if I…

  • Medicines, medicines (and about Promax)!

    I think I am suffering from some brain fog ever since getting Covid-19. Besides making loads of typos, I sometimes stare at a word and cannot spell it correctly. Sort of getting all my letters jumbled up and not knowing which to put first. Yikes! I hope this isn’t permanent. The last thing I want…

  • Indra’s progress

    Indra’s morning began with me giving her Promax. After that, I saw poop in her usual spot. Now, this is a time when I’m thankful she still pees and poops on the floor in Bunny’s Room because it is so easy to monitor! The poop was totally wet followed by a short bit that was…

  • Checking in on Indra (no poop and she eats…a bit!)

    Dateline: 1.10am, 9th Nov 2023 I woke up to check on Indra. Found her awake and grooming herself here, near Samantha. We recently brought this bench in here from the porch and the cats are loving it. Gerald used to use it a lot last time and nowadays, he either goes elsewhere (maybe another home?)…

  • Indra to the vet’s (bloody-jelly-like and puddles of poop)

    I starting noticing yesterday evening that Indra wasn’t herself. She skipped dinner (which is rare and has never happened before because Indra always eats a lot at every meal). But actually, she has not been eating a lot for a few days now. She still ate, but just not a lot and I left it…

  • Indy’s last nebulisation today

    Today is Indy’s last nebulisation. Well, not that it’s difficult to do, actually. He loves it! Kai being a KPC. This is his subcut. He cooperates very well during subcut too. I can handle everything singlehandedly, including changing bottles midway. Indy is pretty easy to handle. Maybe it is because he trusts me and hence,…

  • The work goes on, of course (trying Love Bugs and pilling Rey)

    Covid or no Covid, nothing changes as far as cat management is concerned. I tried giving Adored Beast’s Love Bugs to the Monsters today and hmm….I think it performed better than Fera Organic’s probiotics in the department of staging a hunger strike and protest. Everyone ate their laced food. Well, with a little less fervour.…

  • How smart is Indy?

    I was doing Indy’s nebulisation this morning and usually, I will start it and go off to do my other chores. I know it roughly takes about 20 minutes to complete and I can also hear the sound of the machine. It gives a different sound when it is completed. But halfway through, I heard…

  • Exploring Adored Beast’s pre+probiotics for Indy and our cats

    I recently learnt that Adored Beast Apothecary makes very good probiotics. So I’m still in the midst of exploring probiotics for Indy and our cats. Here are the PDFs with details about some of their probiotic products. I also learnt that the base of their probiotics is Love Bugs, which I’ve already bought and am…

  • Indy’s Promax and his nice poop!

    I started Indy back on Promax yesterday and this morning, I saw really, really nice well-formed poop at his spot! So far, this is the only probiotics that work for Indy’s recent “oatmeal” poop. What doesn’t work so far are (1) Max Pro GI, (2) Gentle Digest and (3) Fera Organics Probiotics and Prebiotics. A…

  • Some updates on Cow Mau, Indy and Rey

    All three went to the vet’s yesterday, so this is a short update after one day. Indy Indy’s sneezing has reduced considerably ever since he started on the full spectrum of medication for his flu plus the nebulisation. I went to the vet’s to get him Promax for his loose stools today, so he is…
