Everyone is fine at Bunny’s Place, as fine as can be expected of super seniors, that is. Bunny does occasionally vomit his breakfast out these days, but apart from this, his defecation is as good as we hope it to be. Bunny is on homecooked and canned food. He cannot seem to eat raw food…

Tabs loves wheatgrass, but did you know that cats may also like sunflower sprouts? My raw-feeding friend gifted both to our cats and us. Jayden: Here Tabs, let me feed you some wheatgrass. Tabs is eating from Jayden’s hand. And Jayden wants some for himself too! Sunflower sprouts and wheatgrass – great for cats, great…

I weighed them this morning! Robin gained a little bit of weight (hooray!) and Smurfy did not lose any weight (double hooray!). Robin was 4kg previously and is 4.2kg today (his ideal weight, according to the vet)! Smurfy was 4.65kg previously and is 4.75kg today! As long as both do not lose weight, it is…

Bunny and Indy do not agree with raw food anymore nowadays. Indy has his gastro-intestinal problems while Bunny has chosen not to eat raw. While raw food has natural enzymes to aid digestion, cooking also breaks down the proteins making it easier to be digested. I remember the advice of a holistic vet a long…

A long chat with a friend today made me recall the days when I used to home cook for Bobby and the cats. Our cats were also on home-cooked food for some time, then I switched them to the raw diet and I did not have confidence to make our own BARF. So we bought…

It’s a huge challenge, feeding the seniors. That would be Bunny & Cow (both 16 years old), Cleo (15 years old) and Indy (14 years old). Now, Bunny has kidney issues, constipation and eye issues (he’s blind but he still has eye issues and is on daily eye antioxidants). Cleo has kidney issues and high…

Backstory: Smurfy had a fright about three days ago when he was halfway through his dinner. Ever since then, he has been too scared to eat. It took a lot of time before I got him to eat in his hiding place. But then, even the slightest far away noise would frighten him and he…

Coco&Joe’s has this brand new recipe, called Premium Combo. It’s meant for thin and weak cats. I ordered 4 packs (1kg) for Robin! So excited to try it on him. But granted, he is already putting on weight consuming Coco&Joe’s (the older flavours). It contains chicken, duck and beef as its proteins and it has…

Suddenly, since yesterday evening, Smurfy started getting too scared to eat. Before this, he was eating happily with his mother and brothers. But yesterday, someone he’s not so familiar with entered the room during dinner and that scared him off. After that, he just refused to eat. Sigh… And while some people tend to say,…

It looks like Ginger wants to make an escape every day after dinner. He did it again yesterday evening, slipped out in between husband’s legs when the latter opened Stargate2. Ginger simply comes from nowhere. He makes sure you do not see him or even know that he is planning an escape. Cats are empaths,…

It’s been a week since everyone was back! Robin’s diarrhoea has improved a lot! It’s amazing how effective Saccharomyces Boulardii is for Robin’s condition! Yesterday I thought the diarrhoea had completely stopped but this morning, I noticed a little bit again. Looks like it’s not over yet. Quite a stubborn one, I might say. Anyway,…

Cindy’s Complete Pate isn’t something new on the market, but our cats have not tried it before. Previously, our cats were on a 100% raw diet. But a long story cut short (those who follow the blog would know why), I had to compromise a little and give them some canned and kibble now.  So…

Ecopet has brought in their range of Monge Monoprotein which is a complete diet for cats. It comes in four flavours (100% Chicken, 100% Turkey, 100% Rabbit, 100% Beef). I bought the 100% Rabbit for our cats today and here’s the verdict. Why I chose rabbit? I know, it’s sad. But rabbit IS one of…

This photo has nothing to do with the title of this post…haha. It’s just a rare sight – Cleo and Indy sitting together on the same shelf and so near to each other too. The stars must have been aligned! So, our food stories continue… Everybody’s so fussy and needs constant variety and change, so…
