From Humane Society International:Support our "Break a Spear" Campaign.Every September, in the town of Tordesillas in the Castilla y León region of Spain, a bull is chased down by men brandishing long spears on horseback.

Give Captive Chimpanzees A Voice
14th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
While many of us are actively doing rescue, fostering, spay-neuter and rehoming of stray dogs and cats, let us not forget that there many other forms of cruelty to animals as well. Recently, I have been highlighting the horrors of animal-testing. While we may feel we are powerless to fight this, actually we are not. The links to petitions that I send out DO make a difference. A recent example is Lipton Tea which stopped its animal testing due to public pressure and a united voice of animal ...

Baloo "Devours" Baby Cat Kibbles!
13th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
As promised, the Blueys got their Baby Cat kibbles today.The vet always advises to give SMALL amounts because we don't want a sudden drastic change of food to cause the much-feared diarrhoea in kittens. So, small amounts it is.....and Baloo absolutely loved it! Bagheera didn't quite know what it was at first... Until Baloo showed her...It's food! It can be eaten! And it's super duper yummilicious!!Eat, Bagheera, eat!! I had to put them in opposite directions...

DRUM ROLL...Who Might These Be???
13th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
I'll give you three guesses....Scroll for answer....It's the SUNNIES!!!My, my....I didn't know they have grown SO big!From the album...not so long ago...The Sunnies were picked up by the roadside in KL, found abandoned in a box by a student. I called them the Sunny Kittens because every morning, I'd play O Sole Mio for them (at the height of the Il Volo craze!).Memories are made of these.Getting a good adopter is indeed a gift from Heaven.Thank you, Rozita!

A Sporo Cat From The Market, Neutered
13th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Ah Fatt had earlier requested sponsorship to spay-neuter 6 market cats, but he could not catch any until today.One cat was caught and brought to our panel vet. It's a male cat.However, the vet called to inform me that the cat has a few spots of what appears to be sporotrichosis. The vet said the neutering can proceed, so the cat has been neutered.I have advised Ah Fatt on the implications, the (usually) prolonged treatment and what needs to be done for a sporo cat. He says he will discuss w...

Pretty Mama, Female Cat For Adoption (Jessy Lian's)
13th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
From Jessy Lian:Dear Dr.Chan,Do you still remember about Pretty Mama that I mention to you a few weeks back? She's another mother cat that I feed beside Mama X. More than 2 weeks ago, I found her kitten's dead body under my dad's car (with her sitting next to it). I then buried it nearby down the road. She was so sad that she spend the next few days calling/crying out loud. I pacify her with Fussie Cat canned food, pat her and talk to her (eg: don't worry, everything's fine now, your baby i...

Panda....after 1 Week (Pet Boarding Cruelty Case)
13th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Panda was one of the cats rescued from the Pet Boarding tragedy on that fateful day about ten days ago. Panda was brought to our panel vet that night because the rescuers thought he did not look well. I published Panda's photo and his owners, Sofea and Izrul wrote to me all the way from Sabah, to tell me that Panda was their pet. Here's updates from Sofea today:Hi Dr. Chan,These are some of Panda's pics taken after a week of that incident. I've been taking Panda to 2 different Vets rig...

Two Baby Kittens And A 15-Year Old Blind Dog
13th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
First thing this morning, as I was preparing Bobby and the adult cats' breakfast, I heard loud mewing from the room...it's the Blueys. They're really smart now and know how to ask for what they want! These two are definitely more demanding than the Sunnies. The Sunnies were....aristo-kittens. A real class act in their own right!So what did I see when I went into the room?Yup, they are acrobats too. We want out! We want out! After Round One of feeding, it's chilling time with Uncl...

It's Nestea Now....
13th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
A few months ago, it was Lipton Tea. Due to pressure from the animal-loving public, Lipton stopped using animal testing. Now, it's Nestea. From PETA:The company that makes Nestea conducts deadly tea experiments that involve poisoning, electrically shocking, surgically mutilating, and decapitating animals. The company has caused animals to suffer simply to investigate the possible health benefits linked to tea products and ingredients, even though the Food and Drug Admini...

The Middening Has Stopped!
13th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/08/if-y ou-think-spraying-is-badwait-till.htmlUpdates from my cousin:I'm pleased to report that the middening seems to have stopped. I think what's been going on is a tussle for dominance between the two males. On the one hand, the younger, smaller sized Yevaud who was our first adoptee. And on the other, the tabby Odin, who's older and heavier-set and who looks that he might have strains of a Bengal cat ancestry. (Each of them has a female sidekick and...

Happy Mooncake Festival...with The Blueys
12th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Tonight, Astro is showing Liu Jia-Chang's "swan song" concert. He is Taiwan's most talented and sought-after composer, song writer, director, you name it, he's done it. He has written many of the best-loved Chinese songs that remain popular until today. After 50 years in the business, he's decided to retire....or maybe not (we hope!).So, being mooncake festival, the Blueys got a treat out in the living room. Actually, it's so that I can watch the concert too! So out came the Troopers...Bagh...

My Two Helpers
12th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
The morning started with litter-box training. But as always, litter-box doubles up as playpen!Baloo has developed this naughty little habit of pressing down on Bagheera' head. Poor Tiger...he doesn't come into the room anymore ever since the Blueys occupied it. But at least he did not run away...he's either in the kitchen, on the piano stool or outside in the porch. Luckily Mary came to help me with all the packing on Saturday. Pre-ordered stocks. Today,...
