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…

Friday, 4 February 2022 (Li Chun Day)

Li Chun, which signifies the beginning of Spring, is the first day of the Chinese solar calendar. Li Chun is considered an auspicious day for the Chinese. Li Chun falls on the 4th of February this year. In Asia, it has become a tradition to deposit money into your bank account during this day to…

Sleeping Beauty

Haru has been sleeping almost the entire day today because last night she threw up in her cage and tried to ‘call’ us to clean up her cage by meowing the entire night. But no one heard her. Well, I heard her at 1.30 a.m. when I got up to pee but I thought that…

Biscuit or Chicken?

Haru the hangry pussy is perpetually hungry. I guess that this is a good sign – a hungry cat is a healthy cat, no? Haru loves her packet / canned food, kibbles, biscuits and human food such as pau, bread, cake, chicken, pork and fish. We don’t always give her our food, especially if the…

Haru Is 1 Year Old

The first time I met Haru was on 15 January 2021. She was about 1 or 2 weeks old then. I think. We brought her home 8 days later on 23 January 2021. Haru’s mother gave birth to a litter of kittens right outside hubby’s office door. So in January 2022, Haru is one year…

What We Did With Leftover Christmas Turkey And Roast Lamb

Our fridge was stuffed with leftover turkey, roast lamb, ham and Christmas desserts after our Christmas dinner. For the following week after Christmas, we tried to finish up all the leftovers and have only recently finished the homemade ham and super decadent homemade chocolate brownie. I ate 90% of the chocolate brownie ? With a…

Happy New Year 2022!

Hiya peeps! Happy New Year! How has the start of a brand new year been to you? I sincerely hope that all’s well with you and that you guys are not affected by the floods. We had another quiet New Year’s Eve again and had lunch with our BFFs on the first day of 2022….

Haru The Goblin

Ever since we fostered Haru in February this year when she was a 6-7 week-old kitten, it feels like we have another child/toddler at home. She’s extremely active and mischievous. She behaves like a human child and can sometimes be very rebellious to spite us. Or maybe this is a cat’s innate disposition? Today someone…

Haru Is Off The Cone & Post-Surgery Suit

I didn’t intend to let Haru off the cone and suit yet as I wanted her wound to heal completely. But I guess my smart kitty knew that her wound has healed well and she declared her own ‘freedom’ and ‘clean bill of health’ by removing both the cone and suit herself one morning early…

18 November 2021 ~ Updates on Haru’s Spay Surgery

Today is Haru’s 16th day post spay surgery. After an infection of the wound with another round of oral antibiotics and anti-inflammation medicine, the wound now looks much better. What really worked was us making sure that Haru didn’t tear off her post-op suit and plaster to lick the wound. The girls and I watched…

Haru’s Post Spay Surgery – Day 9

Haru’s wound is infected. There’s brownish blood seeping out since 2 days ago. Last night we put a plaster back on her wound and dressed her up in the post op suit but when I woke up this morning, she had removed everything again! Today Cass and I made a quick dash to the vet…

4 Nov 2021 ~ Haru’s Post Spay Surgery – Day 2

Yesterday was depressing. Haru was listless and had not much appetite. There were times that she lay so still in the cage that we thought she had died. We had to call out Haru’s name several times and stroke her to see if she was just asleep or passed out. We were all very worried…

Tuesday, 2 Nov 2021 ~ Haru’s Spay Day

Today is the day that I’ve been dreading since we brought Haru home when she was just a 7-week old baby kitten. We are so not looking forward to it, yet we know that spaying Haru will be better for her and for us. I got up at 4.30 am today to feed Haru her…
