  • Another review of PledgeCare’s freeze-dried treats

    Our cats really like PledgeCare’s freeze-dried Duck Cubes. Here’s Samantha, Kai and Indra eating PledgeCare’s air-dried chicken topped with their freeze-dried Duck Cubes. This way, they get two proteins. Akira, the kibble-queen rushed out to the kitchen to look for kibble. She probably knows Riley and Juno would have left some behind. I quickly added…

  • Training Creamy

    I read from a reliable source that chicken gizzards have a higher amount of phosphorus than chicken breast meat, so I’m trying to train Creamy to eat less gizzards and more chicken breast meat, but… Creamy says, “I only come for raw gizzards.” He was not happy with today’s breakfast. Today, he even wandered off…

  • The eating stories continue

    I’ve been occupied with some personal matters lately but I think those are more or less settled for now, so it’s back to writing about our cats again (my favourite activity!). I also had a persistent cough (oh no, not again!) but my throat had always been the weakest part of my body since I…

  • Juno chooses the bathroom!

    Little Juno wanted a room of her own, so she chose the bathroom! She has been bringing her toys in putting them in the shower area. She even wants to eat in the bathroom and often, she can be found sleeping there too. She has established her own daily schedule where first thing every morning,…

  • Riley, please learn from Juno

    I have totally succeeded in adding water to the Blondies’ kibble now. There’s no turning back from this, I hope! But it remains a huge challenge with Riley. Juno is willing to eat soaked kibble, but not Riley. She walks away when her bowl is wet. Even a wet bowl turns her off, imagine that!…

  • Naughty, naughty Robin!

    Our vet suggested blending Robin’s urinary pouch food for him so that he can lick up the blended food instead of having to pick up the “biji-biji”. So I blended one pouch and guess what? It was a completely failure!! Oh well, we would not have known unless we tried and I did and failed!…

  • Juno eats soaked kibble!

    I had thought it’d be impossible to get the Blondies to eat soaked kibble (it was a few months ago where they would stage a boycott and go on hunger strike), but it’s totally possible now. So that’s one achievement for me! Perseverance and lots of luck! My senior vet who likes to feed kibble…

  • Dinner at Ginger’s Catio

    Everyone insists on separate plates. They have a buffet offering of Cubgrub (raw food), cooked food and Ginger is eating my homecooked soupy meal. He loves soup. The greenish colour is due to the spirulina. Spirulina is of a very dark green so even a little bit will turn the soup very greenish. Robin is…

  • Juno, Riley, Tabs and the Blondies’ eating stories

    As far as possible, I ensure that Tabs, Riley and Juno’s breakfast consists of wet food. This is quite challenging because Riley and Juno are kibble-queens. And both eat very little, so I cannot soak the kibble in water as it will not get eaten up fast enough and it might spoil once it is…

  • Juno’s little stories

    Juno is definitely a small-sized cat. In her last check-up which was during her spaying, the vet said her weight gain is “normal”, so there’s nothing to worry about. I guess most of our cats are so big (!), so I’m so used to big-sized kampung cats! Look at the Blondies – they are kampung…

  • The fourth review of PledgeCare products (Meat Toppers & Fresh Chicken)

    This is my fourth review. I ordered Fresh Chicken from PledgeCare and it came within 15 minutes, packaged in an insulated bag, which I appreciate very much. I’ve had frozen foods delivered to me without any insulation before and some packs had already defrosted, which was terrible. Fully frozen, no signs of defrosting at all.…

  • The third review of PledgeCare products (freeze-dried duck cubes and anchovies)

    My third review of PledgeCare products! I ordered from their website and delivery was on the very next day and very fast too. If you order above RM100, it’s free delivery in the Klang Valley. Everyone loves the duck cubes! However, they didn’t quite like the anchovies. These are really big anchovies! Only Smurfy was…

  • Day 2 of my homecooked cat food!

    A bit more success today! Would you believe this? Juno is eating some of my homecooked food mixed with some canned tuna!  Miracles of miracles! For new readers, I started Juno off with raw food the day I brought her back from the middle of the road (after a vet’s visit, of course). She was…

  • Making homemade cat food for Ginger and the “elders”

    The last time I made homemade cat food, only Ginger was interested. But that was also good enough because the cat food was suited for Ginger with lots of soup in it. Tabs did not like it at that time. So after the batch finished, I decided to take a break…until today. I made another…

  • Dental food for our cats

    I think it was two years ago when another vet whom I consulted for four of our cats recommended Royal Canin’s Dental for dental hygiene. Since then, I’ve bought quite a few packets for our cats and everyone loves it. Then, I stopped giving it for some months. It’s not as readily available as the…
