  • Trying out Kit Cat 150g today and more about Fur/Ball

    I ordered Kit Cat 70g/80g (which was a huge success yesterday), 150g (trying out today) and 400g (not tried yet). Actually, I did not even know that Kit Cat had cat food in Malaysia. I thought it was only the cat litter. By the time I found out, the importer is already discontinuing Kit Cat…

  • Trying out Kit Cat canned food from Ecopet

    I bought three types of Kit Cat canned food to try: the 70g/80g, the 150g (on half price due to stock clearance) and the 400g. Today I tried the 70g and 80g. The proof of the pudding is in the eating – Juno loved it! I have been having so many challenges in feeding Juno…

  • Trying out Little Bitez from Cindy&Friends

    Today, I tested this treat called Little Bitez from Cindy&Friends. Initially the Monsters liked it. Riley no, but Tabs yes. Samantha and Kai were interested too. It comes in 3 series, ie. Farm, Surf and Turf. It is a good treat as the first ingredients are meat. Unfortunately, after the initial excitement, none of our…

  • Are you just super fussy or are you ill, Juno?

    It has been very difficult to feed Juno. Ever since my hospitalisation and she’s been going in with the Blondies for some morning sunshine, I guess she has picked up their habits of being choosy over food. Luckily she hasn’t picked up their habit of peeing all over the place. Or has she? Riley is…

  • Offers and new products from Avant Pet and Ecopet!

    As you know, Avant Pet and Ecopet have been supporting our work for many, many years now. Their company donates to our fund every month and also allows us to sell their products (by donation) to raise funds. Our prices are already discounted 15% from the recommended retail price in order to compete with online…

  • Sardines and mackerel for the cats’ dinner

    After scouting around, I finally managed to find a pet store that sells these products. Yes, as expected, there is gelling agent (am waiting for the importer to find out for me if it’s guar gum or carrageenan), so I tried to remove as much of the gel as possible. Tabs just couldn’t wait, she…

  • The feeding story continues…

    Today, we tried Fur/Ball’s dehydrated treat, Ocean Eyes. Verdict: The Monsters absolutely love it! Today’s main meal was B2N Tuna w Sardine. Ocean Eyes can be used as a topper too, but Robin wanted it neat! And the Blondies loved it too! Now, that’s a rare occasion…. Since this was a mini pack, I didn’t…

  • The feeding experiment continues, about Fur/Ball…and Happy Winter Solstice!

    …with success! After one day of cooked food, this morning, the Monsters had a 100% raw meal with Cubgrub again, and they ate! So, what they need is variety. Only Ginger had his cooked food since the vet has advised that he should be on cooked food at this age. I agree. The protein is…

  • Trying out B2N canned food for our cats, and back to all-favourite Monge canned

    I’ve used B2N (Back2Nature) canned food for our cats before. The verdict is lukewarm and after awhile, they did not like it anymore. The good thing about B2N canned food is that it’s a complete food (no wonder they don’t like it, right?). Many canned food brands are complementary food. This means it is to…

  • A new treat for the cats – Cindy’s Recipe Puffz

    Now that I’ve made the decision to move on from a 100% raw diet, it gives me more room to try other foods and it also gives the cats a wider variety of foods. For those who missed the post, my main reason is my concern over the cold chain logistics which is so important…

  • Continuing to learn about cat nutrition

    Disclaimer: This is only a sharing. Please consult your pet nutritionist for expert advice.  My recent hospitalisation has made me realise a few things about cat nutrition. When someone else has to takeover to do the feeding, it is so much easier if that person handles canned/cooked food and kibble. Because when I came back,…

  • Today’s breakfast (a new protocol)

    Change is good. Change is necessary. I’m trying out a new feeding protocol now. It starts with Tabs and Juno in the kitchen. Both get VIP treatment because Tabs is under palliative care and Juno is still a kitten. Today, both wanted cooked food. Gerald already got his breakfast in the porch. Actually, he is…

  • Of cat food and today’s feeding (by me again)

    This is a very long blogpost, meant for readers who haven’t been following us from the start, in 2009. If you have, please just skip the first half and scroll right down to today’s feeding photos! For those who are new to this blog (we are more than 15 years old), please allow me clarify…

  • This morning’s breakfast

    The wonders of Whatsapp, truly. This morning, while I was having my IV-infusion done, I was also texting new instructions for the cats’ feeding and supplementation. Here are some photos. Juno has regained her appetite after yesterday’s third vaccination! Husband says he wants try this combo for the Blondies to make them eat the Cubgrub.…

  • Our cats verdict on Equilibrio Adult Hairball

    I’ve decided to try Equilibrio since the Blondies and Riley still rely heavily on kibble. But first things first, if you search the web for the unbiased review on Equilibrio by cats.com, please take note that they are reviewing the Equilibrio produced in Europe, whereas the Malaysian importer is importing the Equilibrio from Brazil which…
