  • Priorities in life

      Although the above is about humans, specifically on couples, I think we can apply it to all relationships, especially the ones with the animals under our care. If our animals are sick or terminal, let’s not opt for the easy way out by “throwing them away”. Fix them or if that’s not possible, then…

  • Pro-life and no-kill

    One night not so long ago, a lady called me. She introduced herself as a cat rescuer who has been getting street cats neutered for ages. She called because she had just taken in this heavily pregnant cat (“going to deliver anytime soon”, she said) and asked if it would be alright to spay the…

  • A forever-home for abandoned and unwanted cats in your own backyard!

    Many animal-lovers take in abandoned and homeless animals and provide a forever home for them in their own backyard. But for many of us, we are limited by space and resources. For example, I am already looking after 15 (plus Willy, occasionally) and this is all I can manage. But for those who have the…

  • Goodbye, Little Ms Ginny (the dangers of rat poison, a sharing by Wong Yoke Mei)

    This is really sad. The thing is, if people would only remember what they learnt about biological control in school, the presence of cats will keep the rats away. So, if we allow cats to remain in our community, most likely, there will not be rats. Then, there is no need to use rat poison…
