• The Bai Tian Gong war zones…everywhere!

    My neighbourhood started quite early tonight with the firecrackers and fireworks, but thank goodness that family that lights up right in front of our house probably aren’t Hokkiens (?) and are not celebrating this festival. In most towns that I know, non-Hokkien Chinese also join in the fun to celebrate, but please…could you spare us…


  • Trying out another Malaysian-made pet food, PledgeCare (meat toppers, air-dried and freeze-dried treats)

    About three weeks ago, Julius Sondergaard, co-founder of PledgeCare, wrote to me to ask if I could review their cat food. PledgeCare was co-founded by Julius and his partner, Louis Tan, in 2018. You can read all about this Malaysian company here: https://pledgecare.org/ Here’s a little background about the company, from Julius: We started as…

  • Fireworks, the cat dashed out…..now, back home after 5 days!

    Last Thursday, my friend lost her cat. Must have been during the dreadul fireworks. Her cat just dashed out. After two days, she asked me for the contacts of animal communicators. I have a compiled list and I sent it to her. Then, I suddenly remembered a reiki teacher I was in touch with many…


  • Mass sterilisation to control strays – from TheStar

    The news: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2025/02/03/mass-sterilisation-to-control-strays An excerpt from the report: The state authorities must partner with animal welfare and rescue groups to neuter street animals to control their population as well as to ensure they have sufficient food, said Dr Saravanakumar Supramaniam Pillai, a former senior deputy director of the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS). “Otherwise there…


  • Do your cats play “musical bowls” while eating together?

    If they do, here’s an idea shared by my vet-friend: Or, if you have cats on special diets whose food should not be shared by other cats, you can do the above too! This would be a case of “sharing is not caring”! Happy hunting for cardboard boxes to do it!


  • Samantha’s great escape…to upstairs

    Samantha seldom ever escapes from the room, but she did just now. I was just putting their dinner bowls inside when she suddenly sneaked out and dashed upstairs. Luckily the whole house is escape-proof. My only worry is the front door when someone opens it. So I wasn’t unduly worried about it, just that it…


  • The Blondies’ news

    A truly rare occasion where Akira the Junkie chose raw chicken over her favourite kibble. I really must increase the Blondies’ consumption of wet food. But what can I do when they would rather starve than eat wet food? Recently, Samantha has been going back to Cubgrub, which is a good thing. Kai likes canned…


  • Robin completes his antibiotics and the scare by Ginger

    Robin completed his antibiotics for the FIC yesterday. That’s a course of Baytril for 10 days. But he had already recovered 24 hours after starting treatment, actually. Still, the course of antibiotics must be completed. He is still on Cystophan, twice daily for two weeks since the start, and after that, once daily as maintenance.…


  • PETA signboards in Malaysia (thank you, PETA!)

    This is very timely. Thank you very much, PETA! The news in Chinese: https://www.sinchew.com.my/news/20250129/supplement/6246094?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0BMQABHVz0gm14ik2ctKWhSd_eUi9IfNWGogCHcuvFZKD9RHR-v9lenhKqTe0YbA_aem_uSxsWI_3q4GuoEERAG-LoA The article says Malaysia has so many festivals (so true), so it’s important that people must know how harmful fireworks are to the animals. Exactly what we have been trying to do. Let the signboards speak for themselves!


  • Tommy, for fostering and adoption (Viannie’s)

  • The web of life and selfish humans

    They did it again last night, with the same fervour: The deafening fireworks and firecrackers, close to midnight. In the park, right under the trees. So, as expected, my appeal fell on deaf ears and hearts devoid of any compassion for the little birds and tiny critters. There will always be such people; people who…


  • Bracing ourselves for the next night of the “war zone”

    We were at the park this morning and had the sheer pleasure of sitting quietly and peacefully watching so many different types of birds flying around from tree to tree. It made me think of what the birds had to go through the nights before when those firecrackers people lit up and converted the park…


  • Thank you very much (January 2025 donors)

    This month’s neutering and vaccination aid is the lowest ever given out since we started in 2009. Perhaps it is due to the start of the year where everyone is busy or some were busy getting ready to celebrate Chinese New Year. But it is a known fact that the cost of living is really…


  • Gerald, Creamy and the “war zone”

    Last night, I didn’t manage to get Gerald back on time before the playground in front of our house was turned into a “war zone” with that one family lighting up fire crackers and fireworks. I could only hope that Gerald was hiding somewhere safe. The noise was thunderous, so loud that we could not…
