One fine Sunday morning, we had a guest. A four legged one, so he was welcomed with open arms. When Baba went out to get the morning newspaper, he came back, grinning, with a cat who was purring lovingly, following him. He was obviously a house cat judging by the ease with which he mixed […]

Not always four legged
Our family has a penchant for running into animals in distress. Maybe, over the years one has got attuned to distress signals. Our vet once asked how was it that only we spotted all these animals that needed rescuing. Well, I really wouldn’t know. Recently when I saw my grown up daughter patiently holding a […]
I am Snap!
Have you ever lived on the street? Let me tell you it’s not an easy life for a pup! Food is scarce and the two legged who dominate the earth are mean. Well, maybe not all of them but …. Funny things seem to entertain them like kicking out at passing strays or just kicking […]
KIT KIT
Our first experience with a week old kitten was Kit Kit. Yes! We were still new to the range of possible names of cats. We also followed it up with Kit 2, Kit3 etc. Now since we are professionals in the field we have let our imagination run wild naming them anything, from Jamelia […]
Food Giving Ceremony

Nothing ever prepares you for this seemingly harmless and peaceful task. The Pattern The ceremony must necessarily begin dot on time. […]
Basket case
“Baby blankets… Oh! The children (meaning cats) will love it…” “I think we need new cat bowls. What do you think of these steel ones?” “Look a basket, so many baskets! Shall we…???” On one such trip Ma and Baba came home with three baskets for the cats. One for every size. (The vision of 29 […]
Guardians of the food chain
As said before, we were not this bad always. When exactly we graduated from ‘animal lovers’ to… is difficult to pinpoint. When I got married I was a dog lover (PLEASE note just dogs) and my husband a nature lover – all into plants and birds, the sky, etc. Unfortunately my dogs won the day. […]
Bingo
No, it was not always like this! I think we began as a fairly ‘normal’ family. For a good number of years we were a family with just two dogs. That’s quite sane isn’t it? Bozo was a handsome specimen of a dog and though Bingo was the first rescued animal of our family, he […]
