I wish someone could take a video of Robin running to the table to be fed his daily Cystophan. He’s just so, so good. He’s already jumped up the table to wait for his Cystophan, followed by Orozyme. Ginger’s Kidney Support Gold and Hyaflex (both liquid), followed by Orozyme. Orozyme for Lynx and Rey (halfway…

Robin completed his antibiotics for the FIC yesterday. That’s a course of Baytril for 10 days. But he had already recovered 24 hours after starting treatment, actually. Still, the course of antibiotics must be completed. He is still on Cystophan, twice daily for two weeks since the start, and after that, once daily as maintenance.…

Juno is, by far, the most obedient (and possibly smartest) cat we’ve ever had. Every morning, she waits for her probiotic. Can you believe that? And this morning, she even licked the powder before I could mix it with some Ciao treat. Unbelievable!! While the Blondies will run for their lives if they see me…

This morning, Robin had yet another encounter with Smurfy. I was right there, so I bore witness to the whole episode. Smurfy started it first. I was just about to feed everyone and I started with Robin first because he eats at his privileged spot on the table. Robin was starting to eat his RC…

It’s Juno! She’s growing but still rather slowly. However, sometimes I do mistake her for Riley! Now, this is Riley. I asked the vet yesterday why Juno still hasn’t displayed any signs of being in heat. The vet says sometimes certain cats only have “silent heat”. This means they don’t display any of the behavioral…

We slept downstairs last night so that I could keep an ear out in case there were any fights between Robin and Smurfy. Also, in case Robin asks for help. All was well through the night. First thing this morning, at around 4.30am, I went out to check on Robin and believe it or not,…

I think Robin is doing much better after the vet’s visit. The Meloxicam anti-inflammatory injection must be doing its job. He’s active, very alert and happily grooming himself. I have not seen any straining since then. After coming back from the vet’s, he urinated a wee bit too. Just a very small amount. I have…

6.00am: Yesterday, I thought I saw Robin squatting at the sandbox and I suspected something was amiss, so I went to check and the soil didn’t seem wet. Of course it has been raining lately and I could not be 100% sure. I watched him and he seemed totally normal in his behaviour. His appetite…

The other day, I chanced upon this amazing website and the dentist, Dr Ellie Phillips: https://drellie.com/ She has been a dentist for 50 years now and her advice is nothing like what I’ve heard from the many dentists I’ve consulted all my life. So, if you are interested in dental health, do take some time…

I’m monitoring Juno’s weight every week and there’s been weight gain. Not as much as I’d like, but it’s on track. She tipped the scales sthis morning at 2.3kg. Maybe she’s just a small-sized cat. By my estimate, I think she should be coming to five months old now, but from her teeth, the vet…

My dear friend, Agnes, reminded me of Dr William Li! He is ethnic Chinese, a world-renowned researcher and scientist in health and being ethnic Asian, I think his advice would be more suitable for us. Do check out his youtube videos, his websites and his write-up. Disclaimer: This is just a sharing. Please consult your…

The moment of truth was this morning when I went for my follow-up chest X-ray and consultation with the specialist. The good doctor showed me the X-ray and he is very happy. I am 90% healed!!  And that’s fast. Just a teeny weeny more on the left lung. Only a Ct scan can show if…
