Run, Shrews, Run!!
2nd May 2014, by AnimalCare
Every time any other animal comes into Bunny’s Place, I will go into panic mode.
Just the other night, a grasshopper came in and Tabs caught the poor little guy. I had to hold Tabs by the scruff of her neck and finally managed to get her to release the grasshopper. Tiger, Tabs and Cleo were going after the little thing, but luckily Mr Grasshopper managed to escape.
Then the next day, a small yellow bird flew into the pantry and although the bird was on the ledge, I saw Cleo leap up and cau...

Zurik Attacks Rosie And Someone Comes To Her Rescue!
2nd May 2014, by AnimalCare
It all happened too fast.
I was sewing and Mr Zurik was sitting on the table. Suddenly, he jumped off and there was a loud war cry in the living room. I looked and Mr Zurik was chasing Rosie all over the living room.
Rosie was really scared and let out a desperate appeal for help.
Who came to Rosie’s rescue?
Not Daffodil, but….Heidi!
Yes, Heidi dashed forward and confronted Mr Zurik.
Of course I was also yelling for them to stop so Mr Zurik stopped in his tracks and hid under the cha...

Tiger Day 57
2nd May 2014, by AnimalCare
I think we should be able to start our countdown really soon!
The fur has completely covered the last sore on the left front paw, but I can still feel a small crust.
The sores on the left hind leg are all very faint now, covered by fur.
Same with the single sore on the right hind leg.
I think we should be able to start our countdown tomorrow!
Meanwhile…
Bunny wanted to pick a fight with Tiger this morning, but I managed to break up the escalating anger (on Bunny’s part).
After an...

The rescuer in this story could very well be….YOU!
Enjoy: http://twed.com/kids-were-a busing-this-poor-dog-with-sticks-they-had-no-idea- what-was-about-to-happen-omg/
A dog was found wandering the streets, heavily pregnant and being chased by children. They were trying to hit her with sticks. She was neglected, abused and desperately needed some help.

Tiger Day 56
1st May 2014, by AnimalCare
Tiger loves sitting on the grass and the soil.
I guess this is also partly how he contracted the sporo fungi.
And he also loves the Clubhouse chairs. He may have accidentally poked himself on the plastic strands.
But the sores are getting lighter every day, so this is good.
The other sores (non-sporo) on both sides of the hips are totally gone now.
We were initially worried his bite sores might become open wounds and the sporo could get into these sores, but thanks to the daily dabbing of Pa...

An “unprecedented” Event Inside Pole’s Condo
1st May 2014, by AnimalCare
The lower platform of Pole’s condo is rusted beyond salvation for sometime now, and today, I decided to get rid of it (no amount of painting could possibly salvage it at the rate Indy sprays on it a few times daily), so I took it away.
But Pole thought something was “missing” in her condo and appeared to be very disturbed the whole day, refusing to go in. She even did her Dory-stunts.
So I took one of Timmy’s platforms and replaced it in Pole’s condo and put my old ...

The 5 Senses: Cats Vs Humans
1st May 2014, by AnimalCare
Cats win hands down!
http://lovemeow.com/2009/10/5-senses-cats-vs -humans/
Hearing: Cats can hear 100,000 hertz as oppose to their canine counterpart that is receptive to a range from 35,000 to 40,000 hertz. Compare to cats, humans are totally out of their league with a paltry 20,000 hertz, trailing far behind.
Smell: Their nose is extremely sensitive to scents because there are approximately 200 million odor-sensitive cells in the nostrils which make cats an adept sniffer. With only 5 million...

14 BARF Verdicts
1st May 2014, by AnimalCare
All the cats seemed to know that there’s going to be something new today. So, by 3pm, everyone was already eagerly waiting for dinner.
Bunny insisted we would all have an early dinner today.
Ok, ok….
You cannot fool a cat. It’s either they smelled something OR they totally read your mind.
I am inclined to think it’s the latter as the BARF was tightly sealed while being thawed. But then again, a cats’ sense of smell is probably many times more sensitive than ours! (I...

Maneki Writes…from Phnom Penh!
1st May 2014, by AnimalCare
Maneki Neko and Crumpet Hitam no longer reside in Malaysia now, they are in Phnom Penh and I had a good laugh when Maneki sent me this photo this morning:
I thought of you — or more specifically, some of your cats — as I walked to Khmer class the other day and spotted this lorry parked outside a shop.
I wondered for just a moment if Cow, Indy and Bunny had somehow managed to establish a transport company in Cambodia!
Oh my goodness!! I can imagine how exciting it would have been if ...

A Primal Treat…from Aunty Joy (and BARF For Dinner)!
1st May 2014, by AnimalCare
Joy dropped in this morning to visit.
She was on her way to babysit a few cats and had brought along some Primal nuggets.
Vincent was the first to detect the can of delectable treat in her bag and ransacked it.
So Vincent had a treat….
Then, the rest also asked for some.
Tabs and Cow waited to be served, but Indy helped himself to a whole nugget by putting his head into the can!
This was surprising as Indy normally does NOT eat Primal nuggets. He says it isn’t real “raw food&...

Daffodil And Rosie Protect The Porch From…another Visitor
1st May 2014, by AnimalCare
I missed it all.
Which is good…
It happened late last night after I had gone to bed.
My husband had opened the front door to put Heidi out (she’s back to trying to scale the green netting to go to the roof, so we have to put her outside at night now, for her own safety so that she will be grounded and not on the roof).
Then, he saw it….
Daffodil and Rosie were surrounding a snake in the porch.
It appeared to be the same species as the previous ones (the “wolf snake”...

Willy Visits!
30th Apr 2014, by AnimalCare
Willy hasn’t been coming regularly for food, but he has been spotted at the playground and he is looking good too!
I’m very sure he has a home now and occasionally pops by for a visit to say “hello”.
Such was what happened two evenings ago when Willy appeared at the culvert….
We were about to go out when the familiar orange cat came out from under my car.
Hi Willy!!
I quickly went back into the house and brought out some food…
Hmm…he hasn’t forgot...

Photos Updates: Doodle & Noodle!
30th Apr 2014, by AnimalCare
Remember Doodle & Noodle? They were two (neutered) male dogs found wandering on the busy road in Bandar Kinrara by Connie. Connie took them in, posted “Lost & Found” posters at tree trunks, pet stores, vet clinics, even enquired at Puchong clinics if there were any records of them, but no owner turned up.
We advertised for adoption and a few people enquired but somehow nothing materialised until this kind family finally offered to adopt them.
Here are some photos from their f...

Welcoming New Caregiver-Applicants (for Neutering Subsidies)!
30th Apr 2014, by AnimalCare
It never fails to amaze me that each time we make significant changes in our policies (which are usually a result of a “setback” or bad experience with dishonest, demanding or quarrelsome applicants), something good always comes out of it.
When we decided to close our Medical Treatment Fund on 3rd January this year, it was due to many reasons – partly due to duplicate and multiple-claiming by some applicants and also unreasonable demands by a few applicants. We realise this dec...
