• Updates from Amy in Kota Bharu (food aid recipient)

    Amy sent these photos on the very day and the next after receiving our food aid. On the Saturday when the food arrived at her workplace, she did not have a car and had gone to work on a motorbike, so she carried whatever she could and fed cats along the way home. Amy says…

  • The godmother or the godsister?

    Is little Riley the godmother of the kittens or is she the godsister? If Riley is Samantha’s daughter, then she is the big sister of the kittens! Just as Smurfy is the big brother of the Monsters. We will never know. But Riley is such a sweet and caring cat.

  • The kittens visit Samantha and the long incubation period of the Cryptococcus

    I’ve been reading up on cryptococcosis and it is not zoonotic nor does it transmit from cat to cat or to other animals too. If a Cryptococcus species penetrates a cat’s central nervous system or affects multiple organs, then cryptococcosis can be fatal. Is cryptococcosis in cats contagious? No, cats cannot transmit cryptococcosis to other cats.…

  • Samantha and the kittens this evening

    It really breaks my heart that I have to separate Samantha from her kittens. But we do not know what disease Samantha has which has manifested as lesions around her nose. So to keep the kittens safe, I have to separate them.  This is after the skin scraping done by the vet to determine what…

  • Cryptococcosis in cats

    Source: https://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/infectious-parasitic/c_ct_cryptococcosis This reference says it is NOT zoonotic (cannot be transmitted to humans) – please see more below (scroll all the way down). But humans can get it if they inhale the spores from the environment. What is Cryptococcosis in Cats? Cryptococcosis is a type of fungal infection that occurs when a cat inhales spores…

  • Samantha has lesions around her nose – Cryptococcosis?

    I noticed just a spot on Samantha’s face two days ago. I thought it was nothing, so I left it. Yesterday morning, there were suddenly three spots. But it still did not look serious. I thought she might have rubbed her nose onto the security window screen. But by evening, at around 5.30pm (the vet…

  • The torties’ conquest

    True to their tortitude, persistence and strong will power, Creamy is totally freaked out by this new tortie. It’s the torties’ conquest! Nope, I have to put a stop to this. The porch belongs to Gerald, Creamy and Samantha. You can come and eat, but you go home after eating. Siapa datang dulu, dia dapat…

  • An influx of torties??

    There has been three torties trying to come to our porch so far. Samantha chased away a bigger one who was also pregnant about a month ago. Then, came Misty who terrorised Gerald and Creamy. And now, there’s a smaller one who walked on the ledge and is now in our garden. Our Monsters were…

  • Kai and Akira show interest in Primal

    This morning, I was up at 3am. I know, it’s crazy. But a bad sore throat and a toothache woke me up. Anyway, I fed the kittens. They were so active at 3am. Cats are nocturnal and active at night. And they sleep in the day time. Kai and Akira licked a bit of Primal…

  • The kitties are 21 days old today!

    3 weeks old! This is little Indra. Samantha still doesn’t seem to care for him at all. But not to worry, his weight gain is pretty good. 1-Mar 5.30am 431 391 413 1-Mar 7pm 456 407 414 2-Mar 6.30am 460 413 428 2-Mar 5pm 475 417 447 3-Mar 6.30am 481 430 442 One more week…

  • And here’s Misty, the Tortie with lotsa tortitude!

    I’ve heard of the possessive and strong-willed temperament of the Tortoiseshell cat but have never had the opportunity to actually encounter one… …until now. Here’s Misty, the tortie with tortitude! On the first day, she came and ate at the gate. On the second day, she was already inside the porch and wrestling away Gerald’s…

  • Jayden plays with Riley!

    Riley is very, very obliging. What a good girl!

  • Even Kai has moved out

    All three of them, including Mommy’s Favourite, Kai, have moved out to the playhouse. Samantha also does not bother to take them back. She’s on her own, probably waiting to get out of the room. She sure doesn’t seem to miss them. The empty nest works well for her! Or maybe, she just wants some…
