Big read or small?

Weekend’s up, a good time to snuggle in and R.E.A.D, no? Shocking that average readership of the top 100 books is only a miserly 6. I checked a little more than that off against mine, how about you?
Filched off mrsbudak’s blog, comments mine:
According to The Big Read, the average adult has only read 6 of [...]

Diary of a Kitty Kidney Patient

When Bam Bam was diagnosed with ARF (Acute, not Chronic Kidney Failure), we weren’t yet on blogosphere. Even if we were, I highly doubt we’d have the presence of mind to update on his condition, at least not with any coherence. However, having to cope with kitty needs, hospital stays, follow-up vet visits are facts [...]

Something to ponder, apart from the coming weekend slouching: Why A Cat?
While we’re at it: Adopt, don’t buy. You could be saving lives.
And in conjunction, do consider How to Green Your Pet
 

Today: Where’s the ‘heart’ in heartland? 25th June

From the cws unofficial diary: Today: Where’s the ‘heart’ in heartland? 25th June
My heart goes out to Ms Helga Gamp, the letter writer, since we’re essentially in the same army. But I’m not surprised at all by her encounters with her tc. Talk about offering your right cheek after being slapped on your left or grinning and [...]

Swiping life from the great unknown

(all links and formatting mine)
Apparently, a company in Canada (Nautilus Marine Inc.) has just signed a contract to have 2 huge machines built that they intend to use to extract minerals from the ocean floor, approximately one mile below the surface of the ocean. These machines operate like huge, abrasive vacuum cleaners. The minerals are [...]

Singapore Laguna Park: Cats blamed for car scratches

Talk about guilty until proven innocent, it’s a fatal human-caused affliction for the kitties. Yes, somewhere in a plush locale in Singapore, where the residents are deepening their pockets in anticipation of an en-bloc windfall, it seems they’re entertaining themselves with the perennial favourite passtime of Singaporean car owners: blame cats for scratches on their [...]

Am I puppy cute

Or am I cuter?

Please visit the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Program blog, and help me stay with my mummy instead of being orphaned and ending up looking like this, slowly dying.

Look at me after I become a pet. Do I [...]

3-4 week old kitten looking for home or foster

[EDIT (Update received on 19 Jun 08, AM): The kitten has been adopted.]
Just got this in the mail: This kitten is apparently an oprhan as the mail originators, A & J found a dead cat killed in a road accident at the same location just the day before they found this baby.
The original mail was [...]

The PC Show

The PC Show which starts today offers a rare opportunity for the responsible cat feeder: Kitty crockery collection time.
Yes, such events are perfect for padding up the supply of “plates” for kitty food ala the booklets and brochures the exhibitors are always so eager to dish out. Also see Kitty crockery for why they make great kitty-grub [...]

Here’s looking at you, babe

If you read the papers, you might be aware of several minor storms that have brewed and blown over the issue of stray cats, cats vs dogs, and humans who want cats (and dogs) out of this civilised plane of existence we call Singapore.
The cats vs dogs saga culminated in this post: The Press, on [...]
