My room-mate up for adoption

The adoption ad for Bob is up at Cat Welfare Society's online adoption bulletin board.

BOB. A 18-month old male cat, has a cream colour coat with ginger markings, light blue eyes and a bob tail. Affectionate and curious, he likes to be hugged and kissed. Formerly a stray cat, he has been sterilised with a tipped left ear. He is also vaccinated, dewormed and litterbox-trained. If you can give Bob a good home, please email coboypb@care2.com

Sis said I should also mention that Bob likes human company, resting near us. I will let potential adopters know more when they email me.

For the many nights over the few months, Bob has been sharing my pillow with my head, be my alarm clock with his meows, jump on my bed or nip when I get lazy to wake up after snoozing my handphone's alarm. He likes to stretch and climb onto my chest/shoulder and kiss/lick my face and I will hug and kiss his forehead/nose. I think he likes that. He's such a baby.

Since Bob's presence in our house, Angel has also grown to be more affectionate and vocal. He seems to like and enjoy our attention in other ways. Angel can tolerate me putting my head on his body for less than a minute when he's resting but not my face near his to kiss him. He likes me to use my feet more than my hands to stroke his neck, body, back, chest and head. Bob is not ok with me using my feet - he bites them. He likes me to comb his fur coat and I try to do it every night or my clothes and skin will collect quite a bit of his hair. My face too if I kiss him :)

And Bob's meows or sounds of protest when he senses that I'm leaving my bedroom. He sounds scared of me leaving him or he wants to leave with me too. When he gets to move outside of the room, Mom said he sounds like an old man, grumbling away. Haha. He also starts to look for Angel after he finishes exploring the house. The other day he climbed up on top of the sofa so that he could stare through the "stained" glass door of the balcony while Angel was resting on top of the shoe cabinet in the balcony, hissing occasionally.

As I'm typing this, my room-mate is now walking around the house and meowing away while Angel is in the balcony. I wonder what he is saying/thinking :)

Pearl to her new home on 17 Feb

Pearl's adopter will be bringing her home on 17 Feb. We will definitely miss her as she has been quite a dear other than taunting and chasing after Angel.

She has a fierce side - she gives a painful little pain when she doesn't want to be touched (which is not often). She doesn't like her nails to be cut too.

She is also quite a sleuth - she could find her catnip fish toy (bought by her adopter) and also the rat toy (we gave her) even when we hide them to dry. She loves to dunk them in the water and recently she also put them in her food dish. Haha.


She likes to alternate sleeping on the chair and lying on the cool floor.
And she makes this cute little whenever she wakes up and does the shifting :)

Pearl the princess

I took some photos of Pearl exploring my bedroom a few weeks ago. She was on my piano chair and also checking out my mirror.

Pearl will be going to a new home on 15 Feb. Through the Cat Welfare Society adoption bulletin board, I have managed to find a good adopter for her after screening through emails from more than 10 interested people. He has viewed her last Sun and likes her a lot. This afternoon, he came again with some kitten food, treats and a toy for her. What a nice gesture! As his place is still under renovation and he will be overseas during the Chinese New Year period, he has asked whether we mind keep Pearl for a few weeks more until he's ready to welcome Pearl to his nice home.

We do not mind having Pearl with us but Angel will have to bear with her. He still does hiss at her, without attacking her and sometimes she would run back to the balcony and hide and sometimes she would chase after him. And Angel is quite a coward and would run away. We would supervise both of them whenever we let Pearl out of the balcony. At night, Pearl has been whining/protesting on and off in the middle of the night for being cooped up in the balcony. Sometimes Pearl sounds like she's being strangled. Poor girl - we would like her have the free run of the house like Angel if both of them can get along.

Pearl likes to follow us around the house or just rest on the floor, sleeping or watching us. She loves Angel's scratching post - she will rake her claws against it and sleep near it. Mom is concerned that Pearl will grow attached to us and be sad to leave us. I think Pearl will like her adopter who shares with us on his plans for her :)

Pearl up for adoption

Pearl's ad has been posted on Cat Welfare Society's online adoption board.

I have already received emails from about 10 persons. Pearl is very popular and I'll have to screen them carefully to find the best home for Pearl.

If you know of any good cat owner, ask him or her to contact me!

Abandoned pet cats turn community cats

Poor Pearl has been abandoned by an irresponsible owner. When we walked to a block near the park to feed 3 cats, Pearl would run out to greet us and we would feed her with food. As she is a female, I had to sterilise her urgently. Now she sports a left tipped ear. However we think it's a pity to release her back to the void deck as after taking care of her at home for the past week, we find her friendly and will make a nice companion.


We have to separate Pearl from Angel, so Pearl stays in the balcony and we let her out at times when we can supervise her movement around the house. It also means I have to wake up at 5plus am on weekdays to catch Dad before he leaves the house for work, so that Pearl won't follow Dad out of the house (which she hasn't shown any interest so far) or sneak out of the balcony into the rest of the house. I also will stroke her and give her about 15mins of my attention before I go back to sleep and wake up before 7am again to prepare for work.

As usual, Angel doesn't seem to like another cat at home and would hiss at her and Dad doesn't like the idea of another cat too. I have prepared an ad of her to be posted on Cat Welfare Society's online adoption board to find her a good home.



Another abandoned pet cat, Oreo is an older male cat. He is very talkative and his meows are very loud. At first I thought he was in some kind of pain or calling out for a mate. But his loud meowing still continues after sterilisation, so I suspect he wants human attention since he used to be a home cat. I couldn't keep him at home due to his noisiness, so he was released back to the park. For the past week, I have to sayang him for more than 15mins and let him push his head into my hand and rub his body against me before he would settle down to eating his food and when I try to leave, he would meow loudly. Poor Oreo. I'm thinking of cleaning him up, getting him vaccinated and boarded somewhere after I manage to adopt out Pearl.

I like this photo of Oreo. He looks so adorable and also a bit mad. Hee.


I find it funny that Oreo rests with his 2 legs sticking out sometimes.

Salem in his new home

On Sunday, Sis and I visited Salem (formerly known as Charcoal Monkee Jiji) in his new home. After a week-long trial adoption, Kelvin is keeping Salem who gets along well with his parents and other pets at home too. I'm happy for Salem who is my first adoption case. With a few other cats being dumped in my area, I think I may have put them up for adoption too and I hope that there are more adopters like Kelvin who are responsible pet owners and really care for their pets.
