Portrait time! This is a family portrait! I wish I could have Gerald in it too. He’s the kittens’ father (I’m 100% sure of this!). Look at our little Hiro! He is really very perky. I wish I could put Hiro together with the princesses, but I cannot until he has fully recovered. Then there’s…

Jayden gets to feed Gerald every day, but not Ryan, so Ryan was so thrilled today, to be able to see Gerald eat! Ryan: Hi, Gerald!! He pats Gerald ever so gently. Ginger cats are also the sweetest cats, my vet says. I wish there was a way to tell Gerald to stay put in…

Ryan hasn’t seen Hiro before, so he was totally thrilled to see such a tiny little kitten! Jayden came first. He has seen Hiro before. Then, Ryan came. Jayden knows how to handle cats and kittens because he’s with us a lot. Ryan wants to come in for a hands-on experience. This is how you…

Hiro seems fine today, but is still not out of the woods. These are photos taken throughout the day. I nebulized him today too. His breathing seems better, but at times, it is still snorty. He is really good at using the litter box too. And he is such a good little kitty. He comes…

A reader has written in to share how some neighbours in her neighbourhood have been complaining about cats. It is much worse than what I’m experiencing. Here it is: Over 3 weeks, a handful of neighbours have been very vocal in the group chat about stray and/or pet cats. One lady complained about a cat…

So, two neighbours said that based on his photos, the paw prints were that of a musang’s, definitely not a cat’s. I chipped in saying the droppings actually did look like a herbivore’s droppings and not a cat’s too. But when he posted last night, I thought he had seen the cat doing it. Hence,…

A supportive friend was texting me after having read my blogposts, sharing what she did at her own neighbourhood, she also told me that when all else fails, ask the guardian angels to help!! About half an hour after that, another neighbour texted me private to tell me that after having observed the photos closely,…

My friend, Anne, found this: https://shopee.com.my/amp/Pest-Control-Motion-Sensor-Water-Sprinkler-to-chase-away-dog-and-cat-i.237763177.3720689983. It is the water sprinkler to chase away dogs and cats harmlessly. I have shared it with the neighbourhood. Thank you so much, Anne! It is practical and harmless ideas like these that we need. We understand that not everyone will ever like or accept street animals, but we want…

A friend found this and I have shared it with the neighbourhood: https://www.alleycat.org/community-cat-care/humane-deterrents/#:~:text=To%20keep%20cats%20away%20from,lemongrass%2C%20citronella%2C%20or%20eucalyptus What it suggests: Cover your trash cans tightly or secure lids with bungee cords. If cats are climbing and walking all over cars, a car cover can be purchased to prevent paw prints. To keep cats away from gardens, flower beds, or specific…

I have given these sprays over to the neighbour. I’ve just left this box outside your gate. Sorry can’t chat as I’m looking after my grandson. From left: White vinegar, Tea Tree Oil, an Anti-Marking Cleaner (lemongrass). These are not anti-cat sprays as I do not have those, but I’ve seen them at malls like…

So the neighbour replied that all he wants is for NO cats to go into his house compound. Try white vinegar, I suggested. Or the anti-cat sprays as other neighbours have suggested. Use the water hose, but he says he doesn’t have time to monitor. He says the cats come at night or when they…

Following the complaint by the neighbours, I’ve already replied to the chatgroup last night: https://animalcare.my/2023/03/18/if-you-have-any-suggestions/ I followed up with this this morning: I wanted to wait until morning to take this photo to show you that we do have a litter box in our porch so that any stray or other people’s pets can come in…

A neighbour has again complained in the group chat about people who feed stray cats thereby causing the cats to defecate and urinate in their house compound. They attached photos of the faeces in their porch and house compound. They are clearly very unhappy about it and has urged people who feed stray cats to…

Caught him in action! He’s really cute and well-behaved too.

Here’s Hiro eating by himself. I’ve nebulized him too. His breathing is still a little snorty at times. But he is active and definitely alert. He’s also very well-behaved. He comes out from the carrier to play by himself, then he goes back in to sleep. Such a sweet little boy. And Hiro has used…
