Ginger still had loose stools last night and this morning, I found spots of such in the sandpit boxes. I guess it would take time for the gut to heal. But meanwhile, he is alert, active and has good appetite. Last night, I decided to give him Juno’s leftover ID and he ate it happily.…

Dateline: 4.25pm So far, Ginger has been okay. There has been no diarrhoea or vomiting, so it was probably a self-limiting tummy upset triggered by something he ingested yesterday. Eating a small meal after returning from the vet’s this morning. Minnie is Ginger’s most supportive friend. Eagerly awaiting dinner!

Phew, what a relief, it’s nothing serious, just a tummy upset. By 8.25am this morning, Ginger already looked much better. Earlier on, he was on the highest platform and had refused to come down. Minnie had been very worried about Ginger and she didn’t even eat her breakfast. Then, Minnie started mewing, which is a…

It wasn’t Smurfy or Robin. It’s Ginger. I’ve confirmed it after scouring through the CCTV footage and adjusting the camera to point at the sandpits. Then, I witnessed the events myself shortly after midnight and again, this morning. It’s Ginger. Smurfy and Robin are fine. I gave Ginger Kaolin-Pectin last night and since then, there…

I just checked and there were loose stools in that exact spot in the sandpit again. Earlier on, our CCTV did not actually cover that exact spot and I could not really see who went there, only who went toward that direction, but it was near enough. After the discovery of the first loose stools,…

An update: I got the wrong cat, it’s Ginger, not Smurfy. So Smurfy got a bonus probiotic, which is harmless.  The original post: When you are looking after many cats, the work is endless. Smurfy had been “acting up”, refusing to eat his regular food and preferring kibble for many days now. Today, I saw…

Dateline: 6.37pm Nice, well-formed poop, just a little slightly wet, but so much better than yesterday’s and this morning’s. I’ll take the win.       Hope Juno’s poop will be even more glorious tomorrow!

Look how much Juno’s butt sore has healed! The sore on the tail has totally healed now, leaving just a tiny bit on top. She also doesn’t lick it anymore, which means it doesn’t itch anymore.

Juno had a bit of soft stools again this morning, but compared to yesterday, I think there is some improvement already. But it’s still not as well-formed and solid as Monday’s. There was a setback yesterday, I don’t know why, but I hope it will continue to improve today. Otherwise, her second vaccination would have…

Peek-a-boo! I see you!! Juno is quite happy curling up in this basket because this way, Jayden can take her along with him without squeezing her! Jayden made a “fruit salad” for Juno to eat. Juno is eating her kibble lunch now. Her urine has been quite yellow, so I’m syringe-feeding her water. I think…

Juno has been bouncing around the house all morning, looking for things to play with. Then she found a new toy – this empty Cat’s Best bag which can be used as a hideout and she loves the sound of the paper bag too. See that bit of string attached to the bag? I’ve since…

Ginger’s injured eye (the right one) is on the mend. It’s better now, but still pink around the eye. The occcasional squint. Sayang-ed by Rey. Two of the great blessings in life are to be able to give and to be loved. Ginger has both. He looked after the Monsters and brought them up (that’s…

This morning at 6.00am, Juno passed out blood-tinged, formed but slightly soft stools. This looked like a setback as the stools had been well-formed though a bit soft since Sunday morning, and by late last night, the stools were already hardening up too. However, she’s active, alert and her appetite is fantastic. Shortly after breakfast,…
