Save Our Cats in Ayer Rajah Crescent

There are three wild cats living in the Ayer Rajah Crescent. After the biggest food count is closed after August 10 2012, three wild cats lost their food source. Since Ayer Rajah Crescent is an IT industry area, there is no residents living in this area and it is very hard for the wild cats to find food.

It's time to save these wild cats. My colleagues and I plan to feed these cats in the later days. We bought Scient Diet Cat Food for these three poor cats, it cost us around S$15 each package. We need your support. Please help us to save these cats.

My Super Cat and His Hiding Box


My cat’s name is Catman. I hope one day he can grow to be a super cat, like batman or Spiderman. However, it seems he doesn’t have any sense to fight for justice. Two days ago, I bought a LED TV and the box is turned to be his best toy. He likes hiding now and he does it on a regular basis. I even cannot make decision if I need to keep the box at home forever. If I throw it away, my super cat may get boring again.


I really don’t know why my super cat, Catman, likes hiding and keeps doing it again and again. But it seems he enjoys himself and he is very happy now. From my friend option, there is nothing bad in the fact that cats play with the boxes and hiding. They do it mainly because they want to play and this is the way in which they receive attention from us. Wild cats hide when they prepare to hunt; they stay hidden in the grass or behind a tree or a hill until they find the right moment to attack the pray. Domestic cats do it just for fun, using their instincts. They won’t attack us; they will only jump in order to have some fun.

Cats hide and jump to “attack” you is completely natural. This is what they do in their natural environment, so this is also what they will do in our courtyard or in the apartment. If you have two cats and one of them is older than the other, you will surely observe the fact that the young kitten will jump on the other kitten and start the play.


As the new owner of a cat, you should not get worried about the fact that your cat likes hiding. My cat likes hiding too and there is nothing I can do about it. Sometimes, my cat likes running towards me in a very high speed, beating me with his soft paw, and escaping away. Then he will hide in the box and wait for my to find him. As long as the cat doesn’t attack and bite you, you should not try to do anything in order to change this behavior. It is perfectly normal!

Keep My Catman Away From Over Weight

Last time, I mentioned that my cat, Catman, got up at 5:00 in the morning waiting for his breakfast. It is not because he was hungry. All reason is that I had to get up that early. Therefore, there is something coming in my mind. My Catman’s behavior makes me realized that cats don’t have a fix diet time. They have diet only in following two conditions:
  1. Someone offers food to them 
    This is some other friends’ option. Some friends told me that cats will eat all the time if we keep offering food to them and they love that food. It makes sense because even some of us keeps eat the whole day.
  2. They feel hungry
  3. Some scenes make them realized it is time to eat


I am sure you have seen photographs on the internet and all sorts of news on the TV talking about cats that are too fat for their age. Since cats are sensible, the extra pounds can provoke numerous health problems, so it is recommended to do everything that stands in your power in order to avoid your cat from becoming too fat.

The breakfast must be fed on time. It will affect your cat the whole day. You should wake up at least for a few minutes in order to feed your cat and then you can go back to sleep. If you are not at home, ask a friend or a neighbor to feed your cat at a specific time, the same hour that you usually feed your pet. This is going to help you maintain your cat’s weight, which is absolutely fantastic!

Let Your Cat Have Breakfast on Time

I usually get up at 8.00 am every day. After I get up, my cat, Catman, will stand beside his food plant and wait for his breakfast. If I get up a little bit late, he will start to scream on me and he always do it when he is hungry. Sometimes, I just feel this guy have a fixed breakfast time and I need to feed him on time. But the following picture make me realized that I was wrong.


I took this photo at 5:00 am last week. I had to get up very early because my job. While I am not the only victim. My poor cat, Catman, also became one victim because of my busy work. After I got up, catman got up immediately and stood beside his food plant as usual. It is damn funny! This guy was waiting for his food even he was not awake at all. It seems that he doesn't have fixed breakfast time. He just simply follows my bio clock. I just realize that whether it will be harmful for his health because of my irregular life style.

How Long Does My Cat Sleep Every Day

You will surely love my cat when you see him asleep. He would look so cute as he curled up on top of our piano, on our couch and even on my bed. Sleeping seems to be the most favorite thing that Catman wants to do.


Prolonged sleeping can be an unusual symptom for human but this is just normal when it comes to cats. In fact, they normally sleep from 13-16 hours per day. This simply means that they spend almost 2/3 of their lives asleep. If you are fond of having cats as your pet like I do, then you need to remember that they need to sleep twice as you do. And I really find it amazing that just like humans; Catman experiences Rapid Eye Movements and non-Rapid Eye Movements when he sleeps. I wonder if just like us, his rapid eye movement signifies that he is dreaming. I noticed Catman’s whisker twitch whenever in this state of sleep. I have learned from the experts that that their bodies repair and grow when they experience non- Rapid Eye Movement as well.


However, I am also mindful on how long Catman sleeps per day. I have learned that lesser sleep than normal also indicates bodily disorder. This may mean that the cat has a thyroid problem and needs medical intervention. But I am very familiar with Catman. And I know if he feels good or not. He wakes during dusk or dawn in search for his prey. But because he cannot see clearly in the dark, he goes back to sleep every time he do so. Sometimes, I intentionally put down my bedrooms curtain so he won’t wake up very early. Otherwise, he will wake me up too early as well.


And yes, Catman sleeps around 13-16 hours per day. And this includes his daily cat naps when he would usually wake up whenever he senses any movement or sound. And this only shows the predatory part of his nature.
