Yay! They Ate My Food!
25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
So, I blended the “muck” I cooked up for Bobby and the cats, and I was going to give it to them for breakfast tomorrow, but Tiger came by as I was halfway blending the food.
Oh, it’s Christmas….a little bit of supper won’t hurt, I thought. And I was also eager to try out my new food even though I know the cats aren’t supposed to be hungry yet.
Never mind…here goes nothing…
The blender kept stopping – I think the blade isn’t right for...

When A Cat Doesn’t Like Its Litter…(LOL!!)
25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Maneki’s owner and I talk about cat issues often, and the subject of cat litter came up.
So what cat litter do you use? And which type actually works for your cat(s)?
Maneki’s owner couldn’t resist sending me a photo of her friend’s cat, Yin (full name: Lady Faye Yin) who simply refused to touch pine litter.
I’ll let Maneki tell the story. It’s always better and more funny from the first person!
I laughed, too, when I read your woes about introducing change to...

Updates On The Siberian Husky
25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
My post on the lady who wanted to throw out her 2 year-old Siberian Husky to the streets caught many readers’ attention and thanks to Lee, who wrote to say her friend is looking for a Siberian Husky (but not from a breeder), arrangements have been made now, and we hope the Husky will go to Lee’s friend by Tuesday.
Yesterday, I managed to contact the Chinese-speaking lady, Ah Yoke, and Lee’s friend got hold of the owner’s mother’s phone number, but tried as she did, ...

My Home-Cooked Meal For Bobby And The Cats
25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
I thought I should try my hands at home-cooking for Bobby and the cats now that we have read so much literature on it, and many have shared their time-tested recipes.
This is what I used for today:
Meat:
Chicken carcass
Chicken liver
Some mutton and beef that a friend gave me (from her catfood)
Chicken breastmeat with skin
Veggies:
Carrot
Pumpkin
Potato (small amounts)
Parsley
The meat stuff.
Veggies to be added in later.
I remember Dr Susanna saying it’s 95% protein and 5% veggies f...

Another Tabby?
25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
This morning, we heard Tiger complaining in Mac’s place at the back of the house…
What’s wrong, Tiger?
Oh, there’s a visitor in the back alley…
It’s a tabby and wears a blue collar.
A blue collar with a bell, just like Tab’s red collar with a bell.
My husband thought maybe it’s Tabs’ sibling or parent coming to look for her. But we couldn’t risk taking Tabs out, especially when she has just been spayed.
This time, Tiger w...

Vegetarian Stew For Dummies
25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Being one who is just so lazy to cook, but now am forced (albeit very willingly) to make home-cooked food for Bobby and the cats, I thought it would only be fair that I cook for the humans as well!
Here’s today recipe for a simple dump-everything-in-and-boil vegetarian stew which we had as our Christmas lunch this afternoon.
Let’s see now…I put onions, potatoes, carrots and hairy cucumber in to boil first. The hairy cucumber didn’t quite blend in later, so don’t in...

Sioma the fearless feline proved he’s one mean moggy after being caught on camera chasing away a curious fox.
The crafty cat showed no fear as he frightened off the fox after it slinked onto his ‘territory’ near his home in Kamchatka, Russia.

Dr Veeranoot’s Rescue Story
25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Here’s a sharing from Dr Veeranoot:
Attached are the photos of a male black cat as one of my regular
customers for evening dinner at my area. I managed to rescue him on
the evening of 19th December, 2011.
I planed to bring him to the vet on the following day but it causes so
much of delay due to his cleverness of not letting himself inside the
carrier. I was slightly bitten, I gave up and finally called the vet
to my place on 22nd December in late afternoon, the vet gave him a jab
and sl...

Serving As Humble Rafts
25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
While this may not be your typical Christmas message, I thought it’s great food for thought. If Christmas is a time to reflect on our capacity to love, share and give for the goodwill of all, then, let us strengthen our commitment to love, share and give and let us include the animals, too!
From Eknath Easwaran’s Thought for the Day:
Ah! would the heart but be a manger for the birth,
God would become once more a little child of earth.
Immeasurable is the Highest! Who but knows it?

25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Teddy and Xiao Li are two of my rescued cats last year. They were adopted together by Eugene, a single retiree.
Eugene must have read my blog postings and yesterday, he made a first attempt at cooking for Teddy and Xiao Li. For a man who doesn’t cook his own meals, isn’t this sweet of him?
Here’s his sharing:
I boiled the following and blended them into a paste:
a. Chicken breastmeat
b. Chicken liver and heart
c. Celery
d. Carrot
e. English parsley

Christmas Breakfast For My Brood
25th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Merry Christmas everyone!
This is the best picture I could take of my brood this morning. It isn’t often I can get all of them to eat at the same time because usually someone would be late in coming to the kitchen, but this morning, everyone was here.
Yes, even the Sheikh.
Can you spot all of them?
Aww…I only got little Tab’s ear (right below) – see the pointy ear above this sentence? That’s her. Cow is behind Tiger. When we move, I’ll have to work on ̶...

Tabs’ News
24th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Tabs has been very well-behaved ever since getting spayed. I guess it’s the recovery period and she’s not exactly feeling that well yet.
I have been keeping her confined in my room all day. It’s better than being caged up.
Pole came by to visit and just take a look at how fierce Tabs is (look at those ears!).
When I come into the room, Tabs ambushes me from behind the door and tries to get out. She’s VERY fast.
So far four vets have said she’s cross-breed, ...

Indy Finishes All His Jabs!!
24th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
This evening, I brought Indy for his last antibiotic jab and guess what, Indy BENT the needle!
That’s his way of saying, “I’m done….goodbye needle!”
But his acupuncture is still ongoing, of course.
Indy back home after his last jab.
One would think he would be fed-up of AD, but he is not. I’m glad he has a good appetite now.
We hope we would not have to go to the vet’s for a long, long time, Indy.
You’ll have to eat more healthily now.
