Haru Our Lizard Hunter

Haru did it again. She killed another lizard last night when all of us were in slumberland and the lizard came out to hunt for food. Ever since we had Haru 2.5 years ago, lizards were fewer in the house. Haru’s lizard hunting skill has improved significantly recently and she now never fails to kill…

Excessive Hair Shedding

Haru gave us all a big scare yesterday when she suddenly shed clumps of fur on her head. It happened a day after a bath, which Sherilyn gave her. I thought that it must be caused by the shampoo that Sherilyn used on Haru. I used to bathe Haru with Koala Pals body shampoo from…

My Life In Photos This Week

Hello peeps! There’s nothing much to update from me this week, except that it’s been a hot, hot week. It’s so hot that I am always drenched in sweat at home, the moment I move about to do chores. So, this is pretty much a good excuse for me to avoid doing stir-fries and anything…

The Joy and Laughter of My Lockdown Cat, Haru

Haru, 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

Last Saturday we brought Haru to the vet for her yearly jab. It’s her third jab. She will turn 3 at the end of 2023. Sherilyn put the kitty in her canvas tote bag and as usual, this scaredy-cat was so terrified of the sound of the car engine in the 5-minute car ride that…

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…

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…

Tuesday, 16 August 2022

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…

Saturday, 13 August 2022

Today has been an eventful day. Haru has been throwing up the whole day. We had a family lunch to attend at Oversea Restaurant @ Imbi and by the time we reached home, the vet’s clinic was 20 minutes away from closing. I begged the doctor to wait for me as I had a cat…

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…
