Willy Must Have Gone “on Leave” Again
26th Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
Yesterday morning, Willy did not turn up for breakfast.
I sort of “knew” that he won’t be coming.
Somehow, you just “know”.
Willy has this habit of disappearing during festive seasons. He disappeared for 10 days during Hari Raya, but reappeared after that long break. I was worried sick that time until I realised perhaps he had a home and his owner had sent him for Hari Raya boarding.
But then, he disappeared for another holiday as well after that, and now, he has di...

A Quilt Cover And A Blankie For A Birthday Boy
26th Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
Not too long ago, a friend asked if my mum could help make a quilt cover for her and in return, she would give a generous donation to AnimalCare. She drew the design for us too. The quilt cover was meant for Chinese New Year.
Here it is:
Thank you very much for your generous donation for the animals!
And another friend asked if we could make a blankie for a birthday boy whose Japanese name is “dragon”.
So, I sewed this blanket, making it as boyish as possible. Stripes give it a mascu...

Click, Click, Click!
25th Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
I was motivated by the two articles on photographing animals, so I took some pictures of my ever-ready model, Ginger, yesterday.
It’s not the angle, Ginger really has significantly big paws. It’s really cute, and we call them his “puppy paws”.
Peek-a-boo!
Take the photos at eye level, right?
Oh, I took many more, but these are the more “presentable” ones! So yes, I have a long way to go…
And yes, that’s a Minion blanket! Wait for it…after ...

The Patio8 In The Morning
25th Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
This was yesterday’s early morning breakfast.
Willy comes to the patio nowadays.
After months of confining Timmy in the cage during meals, he still has not learnt that he cannot snatch other cats’ food.
Luckily Mr Zurik does not snatch food. However, he has this habit of butting my hand. For example, when he sees me scooping food into his bowl, he would butt my hand off so that he can get to the food immediately. And his head-butt is VERY strong.
Now, why is Vincent also in the ...

St John’s (cat) Island In Singapore
22nd Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
Cindy Lim shared this story: http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/ case-you-missed-it/story/cat-island-needs-lose-lov in-feline-20140122
The cats do have a better life there than on the mainland, Ms Fong conceded. There are no cars to run over them, no abuse cases, no complaints from humans, and there is space to roam.
Ms Fong said the society would have to return to St John’s regularly to contain the cat numbers [trap & neuter]. It is a voyage they are more than willing to take,...

If You Love Animals, Please Use Cruelty-Free Products
22nd Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
We have been promoting the use of cruelty-free products for a long time now, but for the benefit of new readers, here is something from PETA:
As you read this, countless sensitive animals, including monkeys, rabbits, mice, and even cats and dogs, are suffering behind closed laboratory doors. In archaic household-product tests, animals are forced to inhale substances until they become sick or die, are tightly restrained while chemicals are dripped into their eyes, or are immobilized and have caus...
