FollowHaru, our lockdown cat is not a very affectionate cat. She doesn’t like hugs or belly rubs. She doesn’t jump onto my lap to snuggle up or to ask for a chin rub. But strangely, she has a calming presence in my life. Whenever I’m seething with anger or feel sad, the presence of this…

Haru’s 3rd Year
Jittery Kitty
Haru has been very jittery and nervous since the Eve of CNY, no thanks to the deafening fireworks in our neighborhood every single night and lion dance at our condo last Sunday. Every night when the sky turns dark and thundering fireworks start to break the silence of the night, Haru scrambles to find a…
Haru Is Almost Two
Haru is almost turning 2 years old! We don’t know when exactly she was born but hubs discovered Haru and her siblings just outside his office door step on New Year’s Day last year (2021). She was just a teeny-weeny cute lil kitten, but spicy and hissy pissy. The first time Sherilyn and I went…
31 August 2022 – We Had An Unwelcomed Visitor
When we came back from our National Day lunch today, an unwelcomed visitor at the window gave everyone the creeps. Haru who has super bionic audition (despite being in a deep sleep), was the first to notice the bat on the mozzie net in the living room window. I am always in awe of Haru’s…
Saturday, 27 August 2022
Maria finally came back to work after a hiatus of almost two months caused by severe morning sickness and subsequently a D&C as she had a molar pregnancy and other gynecological issues. I had that familiar feeling of relief each time she came back after a long break. Our ceiling fans and windows had not…

Just when I thought that Haru is recovering from a stomach flu, she threw up again yesterday evening and this morning. I noticed that she would only barf after eating kibbles. I only fed her about 7 small pieces of grain-free kibbles and several hours later, she threw up everything, water inclusive, till she had…

Haru Meets Her Twin Brother
Haru has a twin brother that we fostered together in February 2021. It’s a ginger cat and we named him Ginger. Two weeks later we gave Ginger to Alycia’s best friend who renamed Ginger to Moon Moon. We’ve always wanted to bring Haru to meet her twin brother before Alycia’s bff goes overseas for further…
Haru The Goblin
This cheeky pussy gave Sherilyn and me a major heart attack this afternoon. She was playing her favorite game of ‘football’ with an Izumio cap when she accidentally swiped the cap under the fridge. While trying to retrieve the cap, Haru’s paw got wedged under the tiny gap between the fridge and the floor. I…
Another Covid Scare
This time it’s Cass’ turn. She may be in close contact with a Covid positive index from our condo block. They were both at the gym on Wednesday night. On Friday, the lady who went to the gym tested positive for Covid. The condo Managment office was notified on the same day. Today a staff…
Another Drama
Yet another drama happened to Cass on Friday – she with her beloved Haru, which resulted in us at the clinic again. On Friday night Cass put Haru inside a box and played ‘peekaboo’ with her. Cass must have put her face right outside the flaps of the box to “Peekaboo” at Haru. When Haru…
Random Updates
Sherilyn got herself a part-time job at our neighborhood cafe to kill time during the 3-week school holidays. This is the third week she’s in the job. She only works on Saturdays and on certain week days when she doesn’t have tuition classes. The owners of the cafe are awesome folks and take really good…
Random Updates
The 3-week year-end school holidays have just started. I had planned to make a trip back to Ipoh but mum advised us to stay put in KL because of the worsening Covid cases. Yesterday our country recorded over 30k cases. Every day I read of my friends’ updates that they or their family have tested…
