When I got Misty to come in, I kept her in the Safehouse with Riley and Tabs. There’s no escape from here. But then she got restless and wanted to go and see Gerald, so I let her in. I know that from Bunny’s Place, if my guess is right, she will escape through that…

4.08pm – I saw Misty atop my car! Misty, you’re back!!! Come in, please come in. She wasn’t reluctant, which means, she probably doesn’t mind being in the house…. She just wants her freedom to roam. After all, she was born in the street and grew up there. Getting her to come in sure is…

Because of the recent reptilian experience, we thinned out all our plants, including the ones at Ginger’s Catio. The lower parts have all been removed so that we can see more clearly if there is anything hiding down there. The Monsters were very unhappy that their foliage has been reduced as they love to rest…

Ginger was already Jayden’s best friend when he first came to stay with us. That was when Jayden was just 2.5 months old. The two are still best friends now. Growing up with a pet or pets moulds a child’s personality. Children should not be deprived of the opportunity to learn kindness across species.

Creamy had not come for a few days now. I suspect his family must have returned after the holidays. But he is here right now. It is raining so heavily right now, but here he is. Misty is not here. She must have missed somewhere that she goes to and has gone there now.

Sigh…. I found the hole in Bunny’s Place from where Misty could have escaped. But the hole is not visible from the ledge and I cannot see how Misty would have discovered it at all, but there you go….. Cats are so, so smart. I have since contacted two contractors now to see who can…

I got up really early today and have not gone back to sleep yet. I’m going to konk out soon! So how is Gerald and Misty’s orientation going on so far? As you know, I was already contemplating bringing in Gerald and Misty and making them indoor cats. My neighbourhood doesn’t take kindly to street…

Minnie’s 2nd Phantom of the Opera saga officially ended this morning, at about 3.15am. I got up before 3am and I thought it might be a good time to try and get Minnie to go back out to the Catio all my herself. Husband was asleep, so there might be a chance. She’s scared of…

The short version: The cobra has been caught by our chief of security (bless him with everything’s that good in life) from our garden and Bomba has taken it away. Nobody died. The long version:  This morning was pandemonium in the house. The Monsters had sprayed all over both bedrooms, and on the cushioned bed…

Finally…Minnie is in the house! My raffia string worked. I think it would be impossible to put her with the boys tonight. So I will just let her be. At long last, she’s safe! All 14 cats are inside the house now. I don’t think I can sleep, though.

I heard some noise in the Catio, so I immediately got Ginger and the Monsters into the house. They all looked scared with their tail down so it wasn’t difficult to get them in. Everyone came in except Lynx and Rey. In the course of trying to get Lynx and Rey, Minnie escaped back to…

Late afternoon today, we were alerted to a commotion right outside our house. It was the next-door neighbour and she said a lorry driver had passed by and told her a cat (it was Misty, we found out later) was chasing a cobra away in front of her house. It was a big one, the…

Jayden came over today and when he saw Riley, he remarked, “Only one cat”. Tabs had gone upstairs to hide, as usual, so it was just Riley being downstairs. I think Jayden misses Cow Mau and Indy. Jayden would usually hug them both whenever he came. In fact, when Cow Mau passed away, Jayden came…
