Haru’s Vet Day

Yearly vaccination + deworming day for my brave little girl yesterday 🐱 She was so scared and trembling the whole time… that barking giant German Shepherd before her (having wound treatment) didn’t help at all. Home is her safe place — knocked out the second we got back. So proud of her šŸ¤ I’m also…

How This Tiny Cat Controls My Whole Family

Haru is slowly feeling more and more at home. It’s been almost two months since we moved back from KL to Ipoh, and the change in her is so obvious. In the early days, she would hide under my bed in my room, too scared to explore. Now? Miss Freedom has discovered the whole house…

Reunited And It Feels So Good

POV: Your daughters haven’t seen their cat for 1.5 months… and now it’s a full-on tug of war, each cuddling her like she’s a squeaky plushie they refuse to share. Poor Haru got pulled and squeezed like a toy by two very obsessed sisters in KL recently. šŸ˜‚šŸ± Till they meet again in Ipoh, in…

A Smooth Ride Home: Back to Ipoh With My Soul Cat, Haru

The drive back to Ipoh on 10 December 2025 felt… different this time. Maybe it was because I went home without any of my daughters following me, maybe it was the familiar comfort of going home, or maybe—just maybe—it was because my little shadow, Haru, handled the entire journey like a seasoned traveller. For the…

Human In A Cat

As each day passes by since the day we rescued Haru from the streets in early 2021 (she’s our pandemic cat), we can’t help but to see how intelligent and emotionally in-tune this little kitty is. Not too long ago, my hubby and I found ourselves in a heated argument over something as trivial as…

Haru’s Dramatic Deworming Day

Last week, what was supposed to be a routine vet visit for Haru’s half-yearly deworming pill turned into a dramatic adventure that left both Sherilyn and me with a few battle scars, courtesy of our feisty feline. As usual, I took Haru to the vet with Sherilyn holding her in the car. The car ride…

Haru In Ipoh

Even though Haru’s carrier and bed were on our bedroom floor, she never slept on her bed for the two nights that we were in Ipoh for CNY. She only went inside her carrier to hide from my squealing and overzealous nieces and nephew from getting near her. At night when we were in bed,…

Failed Boarding For Haru

After 2 days of harrowing experience for Haru at the catsitter’s house, resulting in her going on a hunger strike and no peeing and pooping for 2 days, we (catsitter, hubby and I) decided that it’s best to bring her home. I sent Haru to the catsitter’s house on Wednesday and she was sent home…

7 February 2024 – Haru’s Boarding (Day 1)

I managed to put Haru (who is usually terrified of the carrier) into her carrier while she was having a cat nap at 2pm today. I felt so bad for ‘betraying’ her. The catsitter, who calls herself kaima (aka godma in Cantonese) came to pick us up. I paid her RM80 for a 1-way pet…

Counting Down To The Day

Eight more days to sending my baby cat to the catsitter’s house. Her catsitter calls herself ‘kaima’ (godma), aka kaima to fur babies. She rescues stray cats and does trap-neuter-return (TNR) and finds these cats furever homes. Yesterday I dug out her carrier and left it in the living room. Haru hates the carrier coz…

Haru Turns 3

Our precious pandemic kitty, Haru just turned 3! She was born circa end of December 2020, right outside hubby’s office, on a staircase landing, behind some catering decor. Our country was still under a partial lockdown and his office was quiet for days because of the year-end festivities. When hubby returned to his office, he…

Sherilyn & Haru

Saturdays are the only days that Sherilyn can laze on her bed and sleep in. She’ll watch some dramas, dance videos and then work on her assignments on her laptop. It won’t be until noon that she gets down from the bed and drags her feet to the dining table to look for food. Sherilyn’s…

1 November 2023 ~Tuesday Meals

Today is the first day of the second last month of 2023! Soon we’ll be seeing Christmas decor in the shopping malls. It’s scary to see how fast time is flying by. And before we even have time to recoup from our Christmas shopping spending, then comes Chinese New Year, another very expensive festival ?….
