Happy Mid-Autumn Festival !

 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all our bloggers!

What better excuse to get some rest...

After all those years, I finally got my first COVID at the end of July. I was very tired and had fever of 38.6-38 for around 5 days. Just minor headache and sore throat for a day. After a week, what was left was runny nose and cough. Hopefully, its towards the end now. The nose is largely cleared except when first woke up in the morning. Some cough and occassional clear sticky phlegm.

Apart from Chinese medicine, I also took Comvita Manuka UMF 15+ honey. Seems pretty helpful.

Of the 3 kids, Betty guarded me closely. Resting mostly on my working table next to my bed.

Felix sensed something wrong with me, and was watching nearby.

Stella didn't seem to sense anything wrong, and life as usual for her.

Below is a video of Stella, the boxer:

Stella turns 4 today

Happy birthday Stella, dear:

May you continue to stay energetic, mischievous, playful, healthy and happy at all times!

Stella was lucky to be placed second in a competition sponsored by Oursmemory.com. The crystal award arrived in time to celebrate her birthday!

Also wishing Stella's elder sister Pat Pat and younger sister Mo Mo Happy Birthday, Good Health and Happiness Always too! (This year's photos are AI generated)

A brand new experience for the children

 I have intially submitted a group photo of the 3 cats for Po Leung Kuk Vmart model selection. We have no plan of winning. But if selected, we hope to get something for less fortunate children.

Shortly after submission, the organizer called us and advised us to change to 3 separate submissions. Seeing no harm in doing so, we complied. 

To our surprise, all 3 children made it to the final. However, its near the fountain in Victoria Park, an open space! Its not an ideal location for the cats to really be active. So, we decided that the children would be carried on stage. First show them in their original breed characteristics. Then put on their Chinese New Year costume to match the theme. 

Compared with other competitors, our strategy wasn't aggressive enough. Accordingly, we were not placed. Nevertheless, we still find it a valuable experience for Betty and Stella. Felix, unfortunately missed the fun as he was sick in hospital.

Below are some photos taken by the organiser :

Blessed Christmas and Wondrous 2026

We would like to wish all bloggers and their loved one a Blessed Christmas and Wondrous 2026!

Below are AI generated videos for the festive season. Enjoy!

As 2026 is coming to a close. Unfortnately, it is a year of sickness for the children. May the coming year bring to them Good Health and the joy of leading a normal life! Thanks be to God!

Again? Lucky or not?

 Just after 9 days of discharge, Felix fall sick again and was back in hospital.

This time, he has jaundice as well and red blood cells showed signs of anemia creeping in. Luckily with the grace of God, and wisdom of the vets, he was able to avoid another surgery (at least for the time being and hopefully for long).

Surprisingly, Felix seemed to have enjoyed his stay. He played with the nurses when they invited him to. When its time for discharge, I opened the gate and put the carrier bag there. He just went to smell it and continue his stroll to the other side of the cage. 

OMG! Felix, dear, don't you know your mother is about to file for bankruptcy? Despite how you like this "staycation", we really don't want you to have it so often. Be strong and healthy, please!

Enclosed are some Halloween photos which we haven't posted earlier on.

Below is Stella winning a prize during a Halloween competition held by Easypet.

Saint Francis Xavier's Day church service

Despite typhoon signal number 3 (typhoon Matno) being hoisted, the children went to All Saints Cathedral for their annual church service this afternoon to receive the Lord's blessings.

Of the 3 of them, Felix is the most timid. Betty seems a bit tired, while Stella is the most at ease. 

This year, parents got a mooncake as well!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all our bloggers!
