Last December marked a special milestone for our beloved feline companion, Haru, as she celebrated her 4th birthday. Haru’s journey with us began at the start of 2021, just days after she was born around late December 2020. Discovered by my husband outside his office on January 2nd, 2022, Haru came into our lives during…

Human In A Cat
As each day passes by since the day we rescued Haru from the streets in early 2021 (she’s our pandemic cat), we can’t help but to see how intelligent and emotionally in-tune this little kitty is. Not too long ago, my hubby and I found ourselves in a heated argument over something as trivial as…
Haru’s Dramatic Deworming Day
Last week, what was supposed to be a routine vet visit for Haru’s half-yearly deworming pill turned into a dramatic adventure that left both Sherilyn and me with a few battle scars, courtesy of our feisty feline. As usual, I took Haru to the vet with Sherilyn holding her in the car. The car ride…
Haru In Ipoh
Even though Haru’s carrier and bed were on our bedroom floor, she never slept on her bed for the two nights that we were in Ipoh for CNY. She only went inside her carrier to hide from my squealing and overzealous nieces and nephew from getting near her. At night when we were in bed,…
Failed Boarding For Haru
After 2 days of harrowing experience for Haru at the catsitter’s house, resulting in her going on a hunger strike and no peeing and pooping for 2 days, we (catsitter, hubby and I) decided that it’s best to bring her home. I sent Haru to the catsitter’s house on Wednesday and she was sent home…
7 February 2024 – Haru’s Boarding (Day 1)
Counting Down To The Day
Eight more days to sending my baby cat to the catsitter’s house. Her catsitter calls herself ‘kaima’ (godma), aka kaima to fur babies. She rescues stray cats and does trap-neuter-return (TNR) and finds these cats furever homes. Yesterday I dug out her carrier and left it in the living room. Haru hates the carrier coz…
Haru Turns 3
Our precious pandemic kitty, Haru just turned 3! She was born circa end of December 2020, right outside hubby’s office, on a staircase landing, behind some catering decor. Our country was still under a partial lockdown and his office was quiet for days because of the year-end festivities. When hubby returned to his office, he…
Sherilyn & Haru
Saturdays are the only days that Sherilyn can laze on her bed and sleep in. She’ll watch some dramas, dance videos and then work on her assignments on her laptop. It won’t be until noon that she gets down from the bed and drags her feet to the dining table to look for food. Sherilyn’s…
1 November 2023 ~Tuesday Meals
Today is the first day of the second last month of 2023! Soon we’ll be seeing Christmas decor in the shopping malls. It’s scary to see how fast time is flying by. And before we even have time to recoup from our Christmas shopping spending, then comes Chinese New Year, another very expensive festival .…
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…

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
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…
