  • Early breakfasts!

    Nowadays, whenever I get up early or I get up to go to the bathroom at night, Tabs, Riley and Juno will wait in the kitchen for an early breakfast! An early breakfast of Cubgrub with shishamo topper! Yesterday had been quite a mad day for me. I have been battling an annoying cough for…

  • Riley, the actual biggest fusspot (Monge for her)

    While I tend to lament about how difficult it is to feed the Blondies raw food, Riley is actually the biggest fusspot. But the consolation is that I can force feed Riley raw food very easily twice a day. And that’s something I cannot do with the Blondies. They cannot be force fed. They must…

  • A new buffet-styled dining for the Blondies

    I’m quite done with running after the Blondies begging them to eat twice a day, multiple times at each meal. So since the past two days, I’ve devised a buffet dining style for them. I just leave two wide plates of wet food (raw or cooked, it depends) at the very spot at the door…

  • Bonuses from Riley, Indra, Kai and Samantha (sans Akira)

    This morning, Riley ate Cubgrub all by herself with Juno and Tabs. I topped it with Cubgrub’s shishamo dehydrated treats. Riley eating raw food all by herself is a huge bonus, even for a few seconds! Then, whatever they could not finish, I offered it to the waiting Blondies at the door. They normally wait,…

  • Juno, Riley and Tabs

    Hi, Juno! Today was a record-setting day where all three, Tabs, Riley and Juno ate Cubgrub’s Chicken (raw) together. The bonus was Riley eating a wet meal as she normally won’t. I’m letting Juno eat Cubgrub’s raw food again because she does better on it as evidenced by her stools. But only Cubgrub as they…

  • Fur/Ball works for Juno (re-ordered)

    I have re-ordered Fur/Ball for Juno. It works for her! I especially like that they have four flavours for protein rotation and novel proteins too. Juno doesn’t eat it daily (got to keep it “novel”!). But when she does, I no longer use it as a topper, but as an entire meal. She’s producing glorious…

  • Gerald, the Blondies and the Monsters

    Gerald eats a fantastic breakfast every morning nowadays. First, he has his full bowl of raw food (gizzards, breast meat and Cubgrub or Coco&Joe’s). Then, it’s not enough. He will ask for a canned food and it’s a whole can, which he will sapu habis. Sometimes, he will even ask for kibble before he goes off…meowing/talking.…

  • Kibble talk

    All our cats have kibble as a snack, except Creamy who only wants raw food. I’ve even taught Gerald to eat kibble now, which makes it more convenient in case someone else feeds him. As you know, we have several kibble-queens in our midst, namely, the Blondies and Riley. Now, the Blondies have only been…

  • Fur/Ball Lamb for our cats

    This morning, I tried Fur/Ball Lamb on our cats. This would be the last flavour to try. We started with Chicken which many of them liked, including Akira which came as a total surprise (but only for one meal!), then Salmon which they liked only on the first try and did not quite like it…

  • How about Primal, Blondies?

    Today, I tried Primal Freeze-Dried (raw food) again with the Blondies. Yups, I have not given up yet. Poor Tabs, she was crazy for it, but she cannot eat too much as the protein content is way too high for her. But just so that she’s not left out, I gave her a little bit…

  • Training Gerald

    Haha…if only Gerald could be “trained”! Anyway, I’m hoping to train Gerald to eat some Coco&Joe’s and Cubgrub (for convenience, I’ll call this processed raw food) so that his meals are more balanced. Otherwise, he’s mostly on raw chicken gizzards and breast meat. But with Gerald, you can get it terribly wrong. Sometimes, he will…

  • Trying out the Fur/Ball beef topper

    So far, the Fur/Ball Chicken and Salmon have been tested, and our cats seem to prefer the Chicken. Today, we tried their Beef as a topper for the cats’ regular meals. Sometimes, just like humans, they are fed-up of the same old taste and a little bit of topper can become a welcome incentive for…

  • Trying out PetChef (wet cooked food) and reflections on pet food

    PetChef is a local brand the offers frozen cooked food for dogs and cats: https://petchef.my/ I ordered some with Juno’s requirements. They have various flavours, but I chose chicken. My order arrived on today, but I was disappointed with the delivery. The company asked us to choose a specific 2-hour interval for delivery and I…

  • The second meal of the new foods (Fur/Ball Salmon and Nottipet)

    I had some Fur/Ball Chicken left over from yesterday, so I added their bestseller, the Salmon, this morning. This morning, I had checked everyone’s litter-boxes and sandpit, their stools were all glorious and well-formed so I think it would be safe to offer some to Gerald. Being an outdoor cat, I cannot monitor him all…

  • Juno at night

    Juno has been very active today, very alert, but she’s passed out soft stools a total of five times. I’m not sure what is happening because as of yesterday, her stools were hardening up. So I can safely say that we have had a setback today. I just hope tomorrow would be better. Meanwhile, her…
