  • A change in Akira’s eating habits?

    After months and months of trying to get Akira to eat more wet food, has she finally decided she would? In the last two days, Akira has been willing to eat a whole meal of wet food. This would be either Cubgrub (raw balanced meals) or just cut raw chicken. This is huge…for Akira, who…

  • Fusspot Robin eats Fur/Ball

    It’s been quite challenging finding the “food of the day” for Robin. He’s a total fusspot. The food you cannot go wrong with him is RC Dental kibble, but we only use that as a dental snack, not as the main meal. So it came as a total surprise that he actually liked Fur/Ball’s Lamb.…

  • Tabs, Riley and Juno

    All three playing in the room upstairs this morning. When the Blondies escape, they also like coming into the two rooms upstairs. It’s like “balik kampung” for them because they were born in and grew up here. Juno also spent her first few weeks in this room when she was first rescued. Tabs’ breakfast is…

  • Steamed chicken broth for our cats

    I was discussing with Puan Aminah about what she feeds her cats and also if her cats liked the food we had contributed, and she reminded me about making homemade chicken broth for our cats. She makes it for her cats regularly and her indoor cats love it. I used to make chicken broth and…

  • Once in a blue moon…

    Samantha and her Blondies are all eating wet food together!! The biggest never-to-be-seen event is Akira being willing to eat wet food! She is eating Cubgrub. Samantha and Kai seem to love Cindy’s WholePrey, the latest food from Cindy’s Recipe’s range of canned food. Indra still likes Cindy’s Original. I can usually get Samantha and…

  • Robin eats canned food?!!

    Magic happened yesterday and today! Robin ate something other than his raw chicken!! I had just taken some food out to feed them when Robin straight away went for the canned food! That is a mixture of Cindy’s Original with Broth (most cats like this!) with Fur/Ball’s Salmon. Then, he went for the Cubgrub! This…

  • Our second trial with Cindy’s WholePrey and some information about Omega-3

    Yesterday, we had a second trial and achieved some success! Tabs likes it, and here’s Juno trying to share some with Tabs. That’s a good sign because Juno is also a very small eater and not really interested in eating, ie. “Who needs food? I want to play!” Instead of letting her “share” which might…

  • Cindy’s Recipe WholePrey arrives!

    I ordered 4 cans of each of the 6 flavours of this new product, Cindy’s Recipe WholePrey, which is a complete food by FEDIAF standards and is grain free. FEDIAF stands for the European Pet Food Industry Federation. It’s a trade association representing the European pet food industry, aiming to ensure the safety and quality of pet…

  • Visiting Kelly with her dose of Omega-3

    Omega-3 for Kelly from a can of tuna. This is after her morning breakfast, but she could still eat and she almost finished the can too! I figured canned fish can be a good source of Omega-3 for our cats. After makan.  We have our routine where Kelly will play with me for awhile. She’s…

  • Vet shares 3 tips for extending your cat’s life

    I found this article and thought cat parents and caregivers might be interested to consider the tips: https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/real-life/vet-shares-three-simple-ways-31542520 The three tips are: 1. Hydrate (add water to the pellets, use a water fountain, etc.) Personally for our cats, the water fountain failed (I hope you had better luck!), but I’ve managed to persuade Samantha and…

  • Kelly eats the no-salt Fur/Ball!

    As promised, I went down to the guardhouse today to see if Kelly might like the new no-salt Fur/Ball. I half expected her to reject it because not all our cats eat it too. Riley doesn’t. But I was pleasantly surprised and delighted! I brought along a can of Cindy’s just in case she didn’t…

  • The no-salt Fur/Ball has arrived!

    My order arrived yesterday! For those of you who missed the earlier post, Fur/Ball has removed the salt from their cat food now, so it’s zero salt in all their four flavours! Tabs loves it! But I cannot give it to her every day as the protein is a bit too high for her. Tabs…

  • Fur/Ball has removed the salt from its cat food!

    I’m so glad and delighted that Juno’s cat food brand, Fur/Ball, listens to feedback from cat parents and has now removed salt from their recipe!!! This is not an advertisement, just a sharing. When Juno had the coccidia infection which was really serious, I took her off raw food and learnt my lesson. Coccidia is…
