A few points to take home and reflect on:
1. That Japanese people, living in small apartments, do not even have the luxury of keeping pets.
2. That there are such “cat cafes” in Japan to let the people de-stress.
3. That their animal welfare organisations would even ensure that the cats [...]

By chankahyein, on Wednesday, April 4th, 2012 3:34 pm This is one fantastic account, from our reader, Melle:
Ah Zee, my cat, had a stroke attack last year in April. Took him to vet and he stayed there for a few days for meds and recovered. He was fine and well until January this year, he had another attack where he walked tilted to [...]
By chankahyein, on Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012 8:55 pm I don’t know why the English language has this saying “gone to the dogs” to mean that something has gone badly or lost its previous lustre.

An excerpt from the write-up:
But if my more relaxed, undogmatic lifestyle convinces even one person that they could live without animal products, even 50% of the time, I’ve already prevented more many times more harm than I’ve caused.
What I want is for the world to move away from using animals for their [...]

My childhood dog, Puffin, used to do this, too! He’d greet everyone this way, especially my grandparents. He was a mixed pekingese; probably still has his Chinese roots intact!
Many thanks to Uncle Vijaya, Yu Ban and the internet, for these lovely [...]
By chankahyein, on Monday, March 12th, 2012 9:01 am My cousin forwarded this story to me, and it is quite apt as we are now looking for Ofie. It may help, too, that my friend, Mary, lost her childhood cat, Vicky, and after one year, a neighbour spotted Vicky at the marketplace and alerted Mary. Mary went there, and it WAS Vicky! Vicky was [...]
