I managed to get an appointment for Smurfy today. The vet checked and Smurfy’s temperature is normal, but his gut sounds quite gassy. There was insufficient fecal sample from the thermometer to check for anything though the slide was prepared and looked at under a microscope. It is probably a tummy upset like Ginger’s due…

Smurfy showed me that he had loose stools at 8.36am just now. It’s also blood-tinged, so I’m going to take him to the vet’s. It’s endless, isn’t it? Well, of course it is, when does sickness and aging ever end for any living being, right? That’s just life. Smurfy actually waited for me to sit…

Juno is now 1.52kg! Her stools are still a bit soft and wet, but her appetite is really fantastic and she is very active. There is also weight gain every day now. Juno can already receive her second vaccination this weekend.

And this time, it’s for real. So after searching through the CCTV footage multiple times, it was Smurfy who passed out the other lump of loose stools, at 1.30am. But Smurfy has been eating mostly kibble these days and he practically hasn’t eaten any of the new foods at all, so we cannot blame those.…

Ginger still had loose stools last night and this morning, I found spots of such in the sandpit boxes. I guess it would take time for the gut to heal. But meanwhile, he is alert, active and has good appetite. Last night, I decided to give him Juno’s leftover ID and he ate it happily.…

Dateline: 4.25pm So far, Ginger has been okay. There has been no diarrhoea or vomiting, so it was probably a self-limiting tummy upset triggered by something he ingested yesterday. Eating a small meal after returning from the vet’s this morning. Minnie is Ginger’s most supportive friend. Eagerly awaiting dinner!

Phew, what a relief, it’s nothing serious, just a tummy upset. By 8.25am this morning, Ginger already looked much better. Earlier on, he was on the highest platform and had refused to come down. Minnie had been very worried about Ginger and she didn’t even eat her breakfast. Then, Minnie started mewing, which is a…

It wasn’t Smurfy or Robin. It’s Ginger. I’ve confirmed it after scouring through the CCTV footage and adjusting the camera to point at the sandpits. Then, I witnessed the events myself shortly after midnight and again, this morning. It’s Ginger. Smurfy and Robin are fine. I gave Ginger Kaolin-Pectin last night and since then, there…

I just checked and there were loose stools in that exact spot in the sandpit again. Earlier on, our CCTV did not actually cover that exact spot and I could not really see who went there, only who went toward that direction, but it was near enough. After the discovery of the first loose stools,…

An update: I got the wrong cat, it’s Ginger, not Smurfy. So Smurfy got a bonus probiotic, which is harmless.  The original post: When you are looking after many cats, the work is endless. Smurfy had been “acting up”, refusing to eat his regular food and preferring kibble for many days now. Today, I saw…

Dateline: 6.37pm Nice, well-formed poop, just a little slightly wet, but so much better than yesterday’s and this morning’s. I’ll take the win.       Hope Juno’s poop will be even more glorious tomorrow!

Look how much Juno’s butt sore has healed! The sore on the tail has totally healed now, leaving just a tiny bit on top. She also doesn’t lick it anymore, which means it doesn’t itch anymore.

Juno had a bit of soft stools again this morning, but compared to yesterday, I think there is some improvement already. But it’s still not as well-formed and solid as Monday’s. There was a setback yesterday, I don’t know why, but I hope it will continue to improve today. Otherwise, her second vaccination would have…
