Here are some photos from early this morning. Minnie eating her breakfast. Since she barely leaves her babies, even to drink water, I add water to her Coco&Joe’s and she licks it all up. Smurfy and Minnie aren’t so fussy about food as long as it’s raw food. They eat Coco&Joe’s and Cubgrub. But they…

The name list right now is: Rei – It’s a Japanese (female) name that means “lovely” and “the tinkling of jade” but it can also be “Ray” (male) and Rey is the name of the Star Wars heroine too. Gender-neutral. Lynx – It’s the middle-sized wild cat and it is also a name of Ind0…

It’s been a very interesting day of searching for names and we finally decided (as of now) to settle for one-syllable names. All of current cats have shortened one-syllable names too: Cow, Buns, Pole, Cleo, Ins (for Indy), Tabs, Ginge, Heist (for Heidi), Mins (Minnie) and Smurf (Smurfy). So, here are the proposed names for…

That’s her four newborns and Smurfy….haha.  Gotcha! Minnie finally ate her lunch! Now, it’s nap time for everyone – mother and babies. I managed to line the whole basket with blankets now. Although she looked very heavy yesterday, I did not expect her to give birth this morning, so the basket wasn’t lined yet. It…

Taking care not to touch the kittens, I managed to take out the soiled cloth, cardboard and replace it with two fresh towels. Minnie did not want to eat. She just wanted to let her kittens suckle. What a good mother! The vet advised that Minnie should be offered twice the amount of food now.…

Guess how many and what colour? I fed Minnie and Smurfy at 6am this morning. By 7am, we left for taiji in PJ. We just arrived home and lifted up the curtains… Tadahhh!!!! Four newborns!!  One jet back, three black with some grey!! This means it wasn’t Gingertom who “raped” Minnie. It must have been…

Friends. Soon, Smurfy is going to be the same size as Minnie! Look at all my covers – they have become so holey! Minnie and Smurfy tear them from the inside of the condo. I hope Ginger will be okay with the kittens when they arrive.

Yui Ping took these lovely photos of Heidi! Quite the model, won’t you say?

Cow has issued the following pilling rules: He will swallow small tablets, but NOT capsules. Cow gives his 100% cooperation when it comes to eating his Metrogyl quarter tablet, but he totally objects to the curcumin (turmeric) capsule and the Coatex fish oil. He even  willingly lets me rub the Afta Med gel at the…

Tabs comes in often now because she likes the bed as well. But she would have to wait her turn because at any one time, one cat would already be on the bed. Usually, it’s Pole or Cow. Cleo decided she is still “higher up” in her basket. By the way, Cleo owns the apartments…
