• The need for humane education in school curricula (published by FMT – thank you!)

    I did not know that our open letter to the minister of education was actually published by FMT on 15th December 2022, a day after I sent it to the various online newspapers until someone wrote to me yesterday! Thank you very much, FMT! Here’s the letter with FMT’s comments too: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/top-lifestyle/2022/12/15/the-need-for-humane-education-in-school-curricula/

  • The kittens teach Samantha how to eat raw food!

    On 6th March, Kai was the one who started to eat raw chicken breast meat. She was the first. Then, Akira followed closely. Indra was the last, being the youngest. In the very next meal, Kai was already able to pick up the meat from the small plate all by herself. (It is so strange…

  • Neutering aid for 2 dogs in Balakong (Tong Yut Fun’s) & Updates

    We have provided a full sponsorship of RM400 for the neutering of these 2 dogs. Another RM100 is gifted by Avant Pet Sdn Bhd to cover other expenses incurred in the neutering of these dogs. One of the dogs needed antibiotics for bite wounds and both dogs were boarded at the vet’s until full recovery.…

  • Longkang-Ginger escapes AGAIN!

    Our part-time cleaner was yelling in the garden just now. Ginger had escaped from between her legs when she opened Stargate2. Sigh… It’s been SO long since Ginger last escaped. Our cleaner felt so bad about it and was worried if Ginger fails to come back. I told her he normally does come back when…

  • Samantha, Kai, Akira and Indra this morning

    Here are some photos taken at 3.30am and again, just now. Peek-a-boo, Akira! Much better, isn’t it? As of yesterday, I’m letting Samantha do most of the feeding (of milk). I only feed them raw chicken now. If they are not interested in eating on their own, I will just place a small amount into…

  • Some news this week (using unneutered dogs to get donations??)

    Getting funds by using unneutered dogs? We heard this news from the grapevine so it is just hearsay. A certain group of animal feeders has been very reluctant to get their dogs neutered despite much advice and cajoling. Apparently, this group has a chatgroup where new people are roped in and each person is asked…

  • Higher penalty up to RM1 million fine for illicit wildlife trading but it is still on the rise?

    This was the news in February 2023: https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2023/02/875450/higher-penalty-rm1mil-and-jail-wildlife-crime-offenders And yet, this is today’s news: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2023/03/11/illicit-wildlife-trade-on-the-rise/ We hope the authorities will nab these illicit traders and those involved. Wildlife is at the mercy of these unscrupulous and greedy humans.

  • Tabs’ sneezing came back

    Tabs was sneeze-free for a full 24 hours after initially taking the medicines. Then, it came back. I told her vet yesterday and she said Tabs is a very allergic cat (from the ear-prick blood test conducted that day). So, this may not be a case of cat flu but a case of allergy. Allergy!…

  • Kai, Akira and Indra – the meaning of their names

    Kai Aramaic: Kai means the ability to stand, a strong base Basque: Kai has roots in the word ‘happy’ Burmese: Kai means ‘strong’ or ‘unbreakable’ Chinese: Kai is used as a name to mean ‘victory’ Germanic languages: Kai means keeper of the keys to earth Hawaiian: Kai means ‘sea or ocean’ Japanese: Kai means ‘ocean’…

  • Kai, Akira and Indra’s check-up (breaking news!)

    Haha…. Kai, Akira and Indra….are…all… ….GIRLS!! They are all girls!! The vet checked twice. As it stands now, they are all girls! She also showed me their private parts – see, it’s just a vertical line. All three are the same. Lift the kitten’s tail. The opening just under the tail is the anus. Below the anus…

  • Samantha (it’s NOT crypto!!) and the kittens’ check-up

    Today is the kittens’ 4th week deworming so I took Samantha along to see the kittens’ vet. Good news – what Samantha has is not Cryptococcosis!! It looks like ringworm, according to the vet. And yet no fungus was detected with the light (it’s the same gadget as the one I have) but the vet…

  • Sam and kittens’ updates plus an unexpected attack!

    All is fine with Sam and her kittens. My supplemental feedings are based on how much the kittens want now and also based on their weights. After I finished the 8.30pm session, I came downstairs, prepared Samantha’s supper and took it upstairs to her room. As I opened the door, Riley rushed in. Riley is…

  • Updates from Amy Kok’s Kennel in Kota Bharu

    Today, Amy fed the dogs, both outdoors and indoors in her kennel with the food we provided. Here are some photos and videos: We were discussing nutrition and I told Amy about the benefits of bones and raw food (BARF). So, Amy was game to try it on her dogs. Here’s raw chicken meat and…

  • At last!! (Sam feeds all three at one go)

    The lyrics of At Last, the ballad by Ella Fitzgerald, instantly comes to mind… At last my love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song Samantha has finally learnt how to feed all three kittens at one go!!! And they are going to 4 weeks old tomorrow where…

  • Cow’s eye and eating problems

    Once we age, old age and sickness are sure to set in. No one escapes this. Cow Mau was having massive eye discharge for more than a week. While Maximus Ophtal worked wonders for Bunny, it does not work for Cow at all. But Nicol eyedrops work, thankfully! So after a week’s application of Nicol…
