The Quack Successfully Transported To Clinic With No Incident
19th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
It was a good two-and-a-half hours to wait before the clinic opened. I had texted the vet to inform him and asked if he had time to neuter this “terrorist cat”. He said okay.
Meanwhile, I left it to my husband to secure the carrier. First, the Quack is afraid of him so he would do a better job at handling the carrier. Second, his King Scout and military experience ought to put him in a much better position to do the job.
As husband was securing the carrier, the Quack fought back and ...

Ladies And Gentleman, May I Present…Mr “Q” (Plan D)!
19th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
The day started at 5.30am where I fed Ginger first, then my brood. As my brood was eating, we heard a loud thud on our pantry roof. Cleo was the first to investigate. Oh no, it’s the Quack. He’s here…
Before you know it, the Quack was right in front of Ginger’s cage. I tiptoed and saw him just staring at Ginger. He fled when he saw me. After that, Ginger was so terrified he dared not eat his food which was in the cage.
I was quickly reminded of a scene from The Silence of...

2 Metres From The Quack
18th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
More Quack news, folks.
This evening, I saw Mr Quack doing the ledge-route heading for Mr G’s house, so I quickly texted Mr G’s owner and asked her to please apprehend the Quack (the Quack goes to her house to eat). The owner called me back and asked, “Where??”. “I saw him heading to your house!”, I said, “he must be there”.
Nope, he wasn’t. Only Mr G was and for a few days now, Mr G has had an ear injury which refuses to heal.
Oh dear, could...

Hi Dr Chan,
Firstly, thank you very much for posting about the lost dog back in 20

Working Towards An End To Factory Farming
18th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
Bernice shared this: http://www.animalsaustralia.org/features/20 12-year-in-review/?r=DZYD3fDDdYGFEFzdFdZ7
Thank you, Bernice! Love the stickers!!
Things we can do to work towards less cruelty on animals:
1. Buy free-range animal products.
2. Go veggie once a week. Twice?
3. Eat less meat.
4. Tell others about the cruelty in factory farming. Share with them what they can do (Nos. 1, 2 & 3).
It is not impossible…it can be done if we do our part.

To Catch The Quack (more Tips)
18th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
Here are two tips from friends who have been successful:
This is how i lay my trap..
roasted chicken butt… no other cat food inside but catnip lay around… try not to put towel or anything on top..sometimes the towel may have other smell and it makes them even more cautious … if you do put cat kibbles, put very little… let him eat it all and wait… usually it takes a while.. some is like an instance, some cats are more careful… patience… it can take up to...

A Pre-Dawn Attempt: The Quack Walked Right In…and Out!
18th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
I was determined to carry out Plan B.
So before 6am, I had already fed Ginger and my brood.
I then went to the pavilion with a carrier, a towel and one piece of fish head. If the Quack was there, maybe we’d try Plan A (the grab-with-towel plan. It worked with Abg G, for Maslinda). Maybe Francis could help too.
Francis had finished feeding the pavilion cats. I asked if the Quack came to eat this morning, Francis said no.
“That’s him fighting with another cat”, Francis ...

The Quack Resurfaces…and Terrorises
17th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
No sooner than I had finished writing the previous post than I heard the sound of catfight in the porch. I quickly rushed out and it was the Quack! He was trying to attack Rosie.
Oh no…I grabbed the house keys and opened the door. But the Quack is much, much faster. Before you know it, he had chased Rosie out.
I ran out to the road and spotted the Quack five houses away at the bend of the road. My goodness, he is SO fast. I called for Rosie.
After awhile, I heard the sound of heavy panting...

No Quack In Sight
17th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
Ginger slept through the whole afternoon. He seemed to be exhausted. Many it’s the excitement from the visit or just the excitement (human vibrations can be transferred to the animals, I was told).
So we had a totally peaceful and quite afternoon.
Dinner time!
Plonking the pill in was as easy as the previous times, so it’s not beginner’s luck after all. He is just so easy to pill. My conjecture is that non-alpha cats are easy to pill. I think I could be right because I have ...

Operasi Quack, Plan B
17th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
I spotted the Quack twice this morning. He was at the playground.
My friend, Agnes, had already made plans to bring her trap over and we’d try to catch the Quack this morning.
But by 10am, four workers had come to the playground to do some construction work and it was very noisy.
Anyway, Agnes arrived with her trap and baked fish as bait.
The first thing to do was to cage Rosie with Ginger so that Rosie won’t be accidentally trapped.
That’s Agnes fixing the bait onto the ho...

Ginger Day 8 – An Amazing Shrinkage Of The “lump”
17th Dec 2012, by AnimalCare
I checked Ginger’s “lump” this morning and I was totally amazed. It had shrunk to 1/3 of its size in just 24 hours. My guess is, the one week’s antibiotic jabs and the follow-up of oral antibiotics are working. Hopefully, the lump will disappear soon.
Good morning, Ginger!
Notice the extra platform on top? We borrowed that from Pole’s condo and Ginger loves it. He was sleeping on the upper platform all night.
The wound is healing well and the lump is 1/3 of yest...
