  • The Blondies’ buffet’s unexpected bonuses

    The Blondies have been having their meals served to them buffet style ever since I discovered how well it works – for them and for my sanity! Here’s today’s bonus! Indra, Samantha and Kai had already eaten their first serving, and they sapu habis too. Normally I would take it away and not add anymore,…

  • The buffet continues…

    It’s working so well! Raw food first thing this morning. Juno joined them. For the Monsters too. I purposely bought these oval-shaped plates so that two cats can eat from it, but it did not work. They still prefer to eat individually, unlike the Blondies who can even share three to a round plate.

  • The Blondies’ buffet and nocturnal eating

    The buffet-styled eating is really working! Akira eating raw food at 3.30am. Kai and Indra sharing a plate of Cubgrub (topped with shishamo treats) at 5.00am. I added two more rounds for them too. Samantha also ate a plate of canned food later. Their kibble reward at 6.00am. A few days ago, I rearranged the…

  • The Blondies’ buffet updates

    The buffet-styled dining which I created for the Blondies seems to be working well. It is definitely less stressful for me, of course. And as long as I keep my expectations really low, this sure beats me having to chase after each of them every meal to beg them to eat and to try various…

  • 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…
