• How “manja” is Creamy?

    There is no English equivalent for the word “manja”, is there? “Affectionate” is the closest I can find, but it doesn’t quite cut it. Google Translate says it’s “spoiled”, but it isn’t that either. So, “manja” is “manja” and if you are Malaysian, you know what it means! This morning, the tide turned. For some…

  • Juno’s post-op (Day 4)

    Today is Day 4 for Juno’s post-op, but it is actually only about 78 hours after her surgery. I have been giving her more off-collar time to groom herself as I can see she’s quite miserable wearing the collar. I use this stick toy just to keep her occupied so that she won’t groom too…

  • The menace of festive fireworks (from FMT)

    Here’s another article, this time written by a politician who isn’t in the present government: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2025/02/09/the-menace-of-festive-fireworks/ Excerpts: The Chinese New Year celebrations this year featured an unprecedented display of loud fireworks. Despite the well-known hazards – including noise pollution, distress to the elderly and infants, and even risks of physical harm – the authorities have…

  • Happy Thaipusam 2025!

  • My very first big pound rescue (Puchong pound) in 2006

    A friend was asking me about all the pound rescues we had done before. My memory is getting worse by the day nowadays and I could not recall the exact details, but I do remember our Klang rescue in 2009, Selayang in 2010 and Puchong again in 2014, but there was also one in 2006…

  • Getting cats to drink more water

    We all know that our cats should drink more water. Being descended from Persia which was primarily a desert, cats do not have a natural thirst drive. So, they almost always do not drink enough water and this is one of the reasons 33.3% of cats will end up with kidney disease later in life.…

  • Juno’s post-op Day 3

    It’s very early in the morning right now. Juno slept a lot yesterday afternoon. Since the boys were here, Tabs and Juno went upstairs. Normally it’s Tabs who will seek refuge upstairs when downstairs gets too noisy. Tabs has always preferred quiet and solitude. I brought food upstairs for Tabs and Juno. Juno’s normal eating…

  • Juno plays with Jayden

    Juno is more or less back to normal now, except that I still cannot take off her e-collar for fear she might lick on the surgical site or worse, bite off the stitches. However, for all our previous female cats/kittens, they have always, on their own accord taken off the e-collar (theirs were all the…

  • More and more dangerous fireworks (Tragedy beckons, does anyone care?)

    Here’s another timely article about it: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2025/02/08/tragedy-beckons-does-anyone-care/ An excerpt, referring to the recent Hokkien New Year on 6th February: Where is the consideration, celebrants? Today and tomorrow are working and school days for the multitude of residents. The incessant fireworks disrupt our daily lives and show a lack of respect for those who do not…

  • Those blasted fireworks and firecrackers

    I’m glad to hear and read that many Malaysians, including the Chinese Malaysians, have expressed their anger and annoyance at the selfish and indiscrimate use of fireworks and firecrackers this Chinese New Year. Here are two reports: No common sense: https://thesun.my/style-life/going-viral/late-night-fireworks-during-pai-ti-kong-angers-malaysians-please-have-some-common-sense-CH13631074 Just plain angry: https://thesun.my/style-life/going-viral/woman-condemns-those-setting-off-fireworks-at-4am-during-chinese-new-year-FA13643723 I must say I’m slightly amused by the comment, “How…

  • Juno’s spaying – post-op Day 2

    Juno had very good appetite yesterday and she also defecated, so two things ticked off my list. But she did not urinate. I waited until very late last night and even put her into one of the litter boxes at the pantry, but there was no urination. Riley accompanied her in the pantry all night,…

  • Juno is spayed!

    The short version: Juno is spayed and all is well! 9.00am this morning I’ve been nervous for the past few days ever since I set the appointment for Juno’s spaying last week. The appointment is today. This afternoon. I know the spaying has to be done, the benefits far outweighs the risks of the surgery.…

  • Happy Meatless Friday with a moringa breakfast!

    I’ve learnt about the bountiful benefits of the moringa plant so we managed to get two saplings about a month ago and planted them in pots. They are both growing very well. After learning to identify the leaves, we noticed at least five moringa trees in our neighbourhood, by the roadside. They aren’t very tall…

  • The second review of PledgeCare products (meat toppers, freeze-dried cod, air-dried fish)

    This is my second review of the PledgeCare products. Our cats weren’t exactly interested in the two Meat Toppers, so I decided to try again this morning. I topped the Blondies’ buffet breakfast of wet food with the Fish Topper and as usual, left the food in four bowls for them. Being the most fussy…
