• Our neighbourhood – a “war zone”

    Last night was terrible. Our otherwise peaceful neighbourhood was turned into a “war zone” because of fireworks and fire crackers. Every year, it would be this same family doing it. But what can we do? This government legalised it. Under previous governments, I could call the police and they would actually come around albeit very…

  • What is ophidiophobia?

    Again, this post is related to this year’s Chinese New Year, being the year of the Wood Snake. But before that, allow me to give you a very quick definition of “phobia”. A phobia is an anxiety disorder; it is an intense, irrational, and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. People with…

  • Did you know that poop is “fortune” to the olden-day Chinese?

    My friend just shared something cultural with me this morning. She’s schooled in Chinese tradition, so she really knows what she is talking about. This banana has lots to learn! So she shared with me that in olden-day China, poop (yes, faeces) is considered very “fortunate” and if children went to their neighbours’ house to…

  • Common sense comes first

    Happy Chinese New Year, folks! Wishing all of you good health, happiness and an abundance of opportunities to do good! Every Chinese New Year I am reminded of how wise my maternal dragon-hearted grandmother was. There was one Chinese New Year where we were at her house and I broke a glass. The glass crashed…

  • Gong Xi Fa Cai 2025!

  • Snacks for our cats!

    I’ve loaded up on snacks for our cats! Ocean Eyes is from Fur/Ball. Our cats absolutely love it. There was a CNY discount recently, so I bought some. And our cats are absolutely crazy over Cindy’s Puffz too. The first ingredient is maize, but it also contains meat and I think they just love the…

  • Hello Smokey

    When Creamy and Smokey’s owners were away, Smokey kept visiting the Blondies. It seemed like Smokey wanted to join the Blondies as she was trying to find a way to get into Bunny’s Place. Our backyard catio will forever be named Bunny’s Place because we built it when we first moved here with our seven…

  • Fate is finally neutered (an update from Ong Siew Hiang)

    Fate was rescued by Ms Ong (who manages a dog shelter) in April 2023. She was found by the roadside and would become Ms Ong’s first cat…ever! The rescue of Fate: https://animalcare.my/2023/04/29/long-haired-kitten-rescued-from-the-roadside-ong-siew-hiangs/ We’ve advised Ms Ong to get Fate neutered earlier, but it’s been delayed until now. She’s back home and doing very well. A…

  • Gerald’s “rain sensor” and Creamy’s updates

    Does Gerald have a “rain sensor”? I certainly hope so. On two occasions, he has asked to be let into the house and about an hour later, it rained, quite heavily too. I’m so glad he knows when he should come into the house for shelter. He sure knows how to enjoy the luxuries in…

  • This CNY, please keep your animals safe

    I know that “Saying NO to Fireworks” is going to fall on deaf eyes of those who don’t care about animals and the environment. Why, it might even incur their wrath as I did last year when I made a plea to my neighbourhood. So, all the best to those who still hope that the…

  • Sweet Juno and Robin’s updates

    Juno is, by far, the most obedient (and possibly smartest) cat we’ve ever had. Every morning, she waits for her probiotic. Can you believe that? And this morning, she even licked the powder before I could mix it with some Ciao treat. Unbelievable!! While the Blondies will run for their lives if they see me…

  • The crisis of the urban sprawl

    Something for all of us to think about, especially in view of many festive seasons coming up, one after another: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2025/01/25/malaysias-silent-crisis-of-urban-sprawl/ Some excerpts: The cost of urban sprawl The ecological toll of urban sprawl is devastating. Forests are cleared, green lungs are destroyed and natural habitats are obliterated. Each time we hear of a tiger…

  • Robin stands his ground

    This morning, Robin had yet another encounter with Smurfy. I was right there, so I bore witness to the whole episode. Smurfy started it first. I was just about to feed everyone and I started with Robin first because he eats at his privileged spot on the table. Robin was starting to eat his RC…

  • Juno, Riley and Tabs

    It’s Juno! She’s growing but still rather slowly. However, sometimes I do mistake her for Riley! Now, this is Riley. I asked the vet yesterday why Juno still hasn’t displayed any signs of being in heat. The vet says sometimes certain cats only have “silent heat”. This means they don’t display any of the behavioral…

  • A Gerald-Creamy encounter from the roof to the ledge

    The yowling started from our roof, and proceeded to the ledge. And then, it was quiet and peaceful.
