I ordered Barkery treats for the cats from Perromart’s online store. Perromart is indeed the friendliest online store I’ve ever encountered. Their service is personal and their shipping is extremely fast (next day delivery!). I had initially ordered mackerel skin (to entice Pole to eat), but they had run out of stock, so it’s just…

Pole achieved a new milestone yesterday. She managed to eat her targeted TWO pouches of the RC renal food. According to the guidelines, a 3kg slim cat should eat two pouches of the food. Pole achieved that yesterday! Pole’s meals are spread out throughout the day and she eats on demand. The Catmandoo really helps!…

All four kittens look alright and appear to be growing in size. They do look chubby too. But Minnie started going off food yesterday. Today, she barely ate; just licked her food.  I’ve varied the food too. She doesn’t want Coco&Joe’s, but was willing to lick half a can of Cindy’s mousse. She didn’t even…

Pole doesn’t like the soft pellets of the RC renal food, so I have been using a spoon to mash it up for her, but it’s still not fine enough. Hill’s KD is totally blended but she refuses to eat Hill’s. Sometimes, when lucky, I get to make her eat 100% renal food, but often,…

Ginger started having the flu (cough and cold) in February 2020. Along with him, Heidi, Tabs, Indy also had it and they too had one round of medication, but all three recovered. Bunny had it as well, but he recovered on his own. Ginger had problems recovering, and this is probably due to him being…

After about 4 days of training Pole to eat RC renal wetfood, by yesterday, she was willing to eat it neat. But once in a while, she still requires some enticement in the form of AD, Primal sprinkles or Cindy’s mousse. I alternate these to keep it interesting for her. I would offer RC renal…

Every CKD cat is different. So very different. Taking care of Vincent was very different from what I’m facing with Pole now. Firstly, Vincent’s creatinine readings was only around 240 or so. It never went any higher and yet, he was already in Stage 4 kidney failure when discovered. His kidneys were already “porous” and…

Something happened to Cow yesterday and he got aggressive when I tried to feed him his medicine. So, a pep talk was in order. Cow is, in my opinion, our most sensitive cat. “Sensitive” as in being able to read minds and emotions accurately. And he is also very sympathetic and empathetic despite his fierce…

Cow has been pawing on the right side of his mouth for what seemed a long time now. He does it a few times a day. He gets Orozyme daily but it does not seem to be helping with whatever problem he is having in his mouth. So, together with Pole, Cow went to the…

Today is the last day of Pole’s Cystaid Plus, so it’s been 30 days since her last FLUTD. I open up the capsule and mix the powder with Cindy’s mousse. Initially, she licked it up herself, but after a few days, she refused, so I rub the mixture onto her mouth and she quite willingly…

Yesterday, Pole was eating Coco&Joe’s already. But by night time, she “suddenly” remembered that she was supposed to be boycotting Coco&Joe’s. Still, I just offered her Coco&Joe’s whenever she asked for food throughout the night. She merely licked a little bit each time and the other cats would finish it for her. I finally relented…

Pole seems fine now, though she is not back 100% yet. No more crouching, she can stretch out now. Then, something unexpected happened in the late afternoon. Pole asked for food and I decided to just offer her Coco&Joe’s. She ate!!! Believe it! She ate. This was at around 5.40pm. I did not have to…
