Subsidy For Puppy (Sharon Elizabeth Tan Tai Ching’s)
4th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
From Sharon Tan:
Pup under surgery
This lil pup was found hiding in a tyre at night! All sad and lonely. I rescued him and after a while, he had internal complications where by his intestince and and organs folded in like a telescope. Because he was a rescue dog, how it occured could be due to various reasons, could even be due to abuse or something but can’t really know the root cause.
He wasn’t eating for a few days and the vet did an xray and found out. So the vet said ...

April 4 – World Stray Animal Day
4th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Today is World Stray Animal Day!
http://www.strayanimalsday.org/
Let’s reaffirm our commitment to help them as much as we can.
1. Join us in CNRM. Spay-Neuter is the most compassionate way to control their population.
2. Take them off the streets and find them homes.
3. Speak up and act, when injustice is done to them.
4. Spread the message of kindness to animals far and wide, by word and more importantly, by deed.
A message from WSAD’s ambassador, Cesar Milan: http://www.strayanima...

Another Classic – The Teapot Pose
3rd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
From Chen:
Hi Kah Yein,
To add to the glossary of cat poses, let us not forget the classic teapot pose. The criteria for this pose are:
the cat is sitting on its rump
the front legs are straight
and most importantly – one can see an over-arching curve of the upper spine
My cat very kindly demonstrated this pose today.
Cheers,
Chen
Indeed, and why is this a classic pose?
In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.
It is said that in the beginning Go...

Education Gone To The Dogs
3rd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
I don’t know why the English language has this saying “gone to the dogs” to mean that something has gone badly or lost its previous lustre.
Of course, from an animal rights point of view, it is oh-so-wrong and offensive, because dogs are about the most eager-to-please animals we humans would ever encounter.
Talking about “going to the dogs”, you know I work in a college.
College = Education?
This morning, as I drove into our parking area, a car had blocked the entir...

An excerpt from the write-up:
But if my more relaxed, undogmatic lifestyle convinces even one person that they could live without animal products, even 50% of the time, I’ve already prevented more many times more harm than I’ve caused.
What I want is for the world to move away from using animals for their pleasure or co...

Message:
Hi,
Lola is a stray that I have been feeding for about a month now. I
managed to befriend her and brought her for spaying. As I can’t keep
her, I have released her back to her original place. I am currently
still trying to capture her mother (which has been giving birth for 3
generations already – according to an uncle there), but my attempts
have failed so far.
I will be mailing the subsidy form and receipt to you tomorrow.

The Gopher Pose!!
3rd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Just as luck would have it, my camera was ready today! I’ve missed so many Gopher poses already.
Presenting… THE classic Gopher Pose!
Couldn’t quite get a perfect gopher photo to show you, so I’ll let this Heffalump show you below…
Criteria: All paws/toes must be as close as possible.
That’s close enough.
If one perfects the Gopher Pose, one would be able to balance on the edge of any surface and do practically anything (eat, sleep, etc.).

This is a classic Duck Hen-in-Condo Pose

Even Bunny joins in for today…
A slight variant here…but still loafi...

3rd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
From Koo:
Dear Dr Chan,
It would be very much appreciated if you could post the following on AnimalCare:
My rescuer neighbor informed me that her friend was putting her family’s purebreed Jack Russell Terrier (JRT) up for adoption because the whole family was moving overseas to UK by end April 2012.

Mr G Has Breakfast As Well!
3rd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
In the past few days, Mr G has been coming for breakfast as well…
He’ll call for me at the kitchen window.
Then, he waits at the Stargate, still calling.
My brood goes out to meet him, of course.
And he gets his food.
But it is not enough, he says.
Well, I cannot feed you too much, Mr G, because you have a home and I don’t really know what diet you are on. I should not overfeed you.
He eats whatever he is given, Go! kibble, Natural Balance and home-cooked. All...

Alternative Dwelling Places To The Washing Machine
2nd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Bunny was still upset today as we had closed the cover of the washing machine, making it out of bounds for him.
I came back from work and found him here…
At Apartment 2A.
The basket is too small, but he loves it. And he prefers this to all the other baskets. By the way, it is a Daiso basket.
Later in the afternoon, he was here.
This is code-named the “Leopard Pose”.
Criteria to qualify: At least one limb must be dangling out.
And by evening, he had changed to ano...

Introducing A New Cat To The Resident Cat (from Ng Chen Chen)
2nd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Useful information from Ng Chen Chen:
I stumbled upon a YouTube video that tells the story of how a new kitten and an older cat who is already established in a household learn to become fast friends. I think this video would be able to teach us a lot about cats communication. Many adopters are hesitant or return a cat when their cat react violently towards the newcomer because humans don’t understand cat behaviour. Well, this video does a good job in showing that cats need some time to kn...

Polly, Dog For Adoption (Lisa Lui’s)

From:
Lisa Lui
lisa.py.lui@gmail.com
Message:
Hello Dr Kah Yein,
I have been following your blog but this is the first time I’ve
written anything. I am writing because I have a dog that needs to be
rehomed, but she needs a special home.
Polly was found on the streets mid last year and we took her in.
Unfortunately it seems that she might have been abused or treated
badly as she is very, very shy and timid. She is startled by loud
noises, sudden movements and crowds of people. I would love ...
