Big Paw… I spoke to him when he was first losing his balance. He is such a sweet soul, he said he was happy living in his enclosure. He loves the long grass and will spend a lot of time there. He recently had a medical checkup and was exposed to bacterial infection in his spine due to an unsanitized needle. His caretakers are trying to raise funds to bring in a specialist to treat Big Paw’s condition.
Wildlife animals have fewer options when it comes to veterinary care. Not many are trained to treat wildlife animals.
I don’t usually post for donations but I am hoping to reach out to those who can lend a helping hand to the foundation so they can bring in the medical specialist who can treat Big Paw. If you can’t help financially, sending healing light and prayers or sharing his Go Fund Me page would also be appreciated.

I came across this boy today. I didn’t name him because… I was working so hard not to kidnap his handsome ass and get both of us kicked out of mom’s house.
Anyway, was on my way to lunch with mom and we passed by this restaurant across the street. This boy was shamelessly going from table to table begging for good. He must have been really hungry so I sent mom to the restaurant we were eating at and doubled back. Got a can of cat food for him and the workers at restaurant gave me a container to feed him with.
Dude, the cat and I thank you very much for the kindness. I poured the cat food into the container and he finished it. He kept meowing at me for more, poor baby was so hungry 😓😓.
I had to go back to join my mom for lunch so I left him there. On our way back, this baby was still going from table to table meowing for food.
Ok, I had an extra can of cat food in my mom’s fridge 😘😉🫰. I walked mom home, grabbed the can and plastic bowl and went back to look for Sunshine… 😱😱 Did I just name the baby??? Nooooooooo, m.u.s.t…. r.e.s.i.s.t….
This is him whacking the 2nd bowl like a champion mukbang superstar. He almost finished it too but he was full so he felt a little bit behind. I told him he is a very beautiful, polite boy. He went around meowing softly but he never imposed on the diners or entered the restaurant.
When he was done, he rubbed himself all over me… Eeeyyy, don’t la. Wait I really kidnap you then you know 😅😅😅.
He meowed at me asking to follow me back. “No, baby. I will get us both kicked out if I bring you back (mom has a phobia for cats) but if you’re here tomorrow, I feed you ok?” Not ok, he followed me all the way out into the road and I brought him back to the building.
Pep talk… He finally followed me to the bank and started playing with his reflection on the glass walls.
He has such soft, trusting eyes. Beautiful boy. 😍😍
I got a request to talk to Big Paw last Tuesday. He is a white Bengal Tiger who lives in Ras Al Khaimah (UAE) under the care of a wild life rescuer and she was concerned because he was showing signs of being unwell. She wanted to check in on him and ask if he met with an accident or hurt his head. In a video she sent me, he kept slamming against the enclosure wall as he walked so we arranged an emergency session for the same day.
Not knowing much about his background, I tried communicating with Big Paw in the evening. He wasn’t difficult to connect with. When I introduced myself and explained why I was there, he accepted the invitation almost right away. I’ve noticed that wildlife animals like elephants and tigers aren’t afraid of me when I try to reach out, it’s not fear that causes them to hesitate talking to me. It’s more due to the lack of trust in humans (my intention) because of their experiences with our kind but Big Paw didn’t feel like he had any reservations at all.
I found myself face to face with him but I was not in my circle, I didn’t see him approaching me. It was more like I was approaching him.
He showed me tall grass and shared the feeling that he likes being surrounded by it. The taller, the better. He enjoys being immersed in greenery.
Next I felt like I was sliding in a way I couldn’t really control my body. It felt like I kept slipping so I told his Kahu that I am not sure if that’s how he is feeling (like you keep losing your balance and slipping) or if there was an area in his enclosure that feels more slippery, causing him to lose his footing. I suspect it is his coordination or lack of it that makes him feel this way though.
He also showed me visuals of his surrounding like he was giving me a tour of his home and said he would like more grass, the really tall ones. Tall enough for him to disappear into 🤔🤷🏻♀️😅 but I said ok, I will pass his message along. Might not be the most sensible idea as his
Caterpillar named Boo
Saved this little guy from being catapulted today 😅. There are 2 gardens here. One inner garden where Mom keeps all her desert rose plants (and this bugger was shaving them bald through his gluttony) and an outer garden where the plants grow wild. She picked him off one of her bald plants (😡) and was about to evict his ass over the wall 🫢🫣. I brought him out to the outer garden where he can have a feast undisturbed. My childhood was filled with caterpillars, spiders, butterflies and dragonflies. We only went digging for worms if a baby bird falls out of the nest. Rustic living in Malaysia 😅
Butterfly
It’s my first time having a butterfly eating out of my hand…
This will be the last video I am sharing of my Dad. I know he is in a better place and that we will meet again some day. Until then, Godspeed, Dad. 💖💖💐 Always
On wings of a Butterfly
Dad 13.04.2024
Welcome home
We sent Dad off to the crematorium on the 12th April and brought him back on 13th April to place him in his final resting place.
At 11.19pm last night, my nephew Keenan was in the kitchen when he called out to tell us there was a butterfly there. My parents have lived in this home for over 30 years. There has never been a butterfly in the house before. He asked me how it got in because all the windows were closed. I had no idea… 🧐🤨🤷🏻♀️ but who cares.
Not everyone believes in the spirits of the dearly departed coming back to give us a sign that they are alright.
I always took it with a pinch of salt but this beautiful butterfly (Tawny Coster) perched on the cross, then on the picture of Blessed Mother Mary in my parents’ home before landing on my nephew’s hair. Mom kept talking to him, asking him to come hug her. He did. We all had a chance to hold him in our hand for a little while.
When Dad was in the hospital, the doctors told us he was no longer conscious because he was not responding to them. When I spoke to him, he would move his legs and that sign became our only way of communicating with Dad.
He would move his legs a lot when Mom came to talk to him and hugged him. That was how we knew if he wanted something, moving his leg would be a sign for “Yes”. He didn’t stay with us very long from the date he was admitted, we knew his strength was waning but letting go is easier said than done.
The day his silver cord was disconnected from his body and we knew he was no longer in this world, it was perhaps the most surreal experience I have ever had. It was heartbreaking yet a huge relief because we knew he was no longer trapped in a cancer ravaged body that was slowly withering away. My Dad did not die of cancer. He left because of a fall that caused bleeding in his brain but the surgeon said they could not operate on him to stop the bleeding because of his condition.
Last night, we asked the butter
Last night I reached out to Mochi and Snowy… Their Mom (Dena) is on a trip to Japan so they’re both in their respective boarding homes.
Mochi is very happy when she stays at the boarding home because she gets to play with her friends so she told me to let her Mom know, not to worry about her as she is fine. She met the black and white dog again… I saw the visual and it looked like rhe Dalmation from one of our last sessions but the photo Dena sent me last night was of a different black and white dog. Nope, not the one in the photo… It was another dog Mochi was talking about.
Today Dena sent me a video taken from another day. The dalmation was in it… Yup, that’s the dog Mochi showed me. Black and white patches, she met this dog again during her stay.. 😅😅
True enough, she is having a really good time playing with her friends so she is quite alright there until her Mom returns from the trip. Look at her run 😅😅…
On the contrary, Snowy was trying to climb up to high places and was told if he doesn’t stay on the ground, they will have to revoke his roaming privileges until he learns not to jump up to high places.
I told him it’s non negotiable with the cat boarding place because they don’t want to risk him injuring himself. This boy has a wilful streak to him so he tumbled to his side in the circle last night and was upset about his restrictions. He wanted me to tell Dena he misses her (coz he gets away with misdemeanours at home) and wants her to come back soon. He tried his luck again today and got his hall pass revoked… I told you so, Snowy 🤭🤭😅😅…
Two totally different personalities… 😅😅🤣🤣

So… Quick update 😅😅🙏🙏
This one gave me stress because he randomly flew into my client’s home and she reached out to several budgie groups to help find his family but to no avail. She tried posting missing budgie ads online but there were inquiries about taking him off her hands, none were from his previous family. She decided to communicate with him to ask what he wanted.
He said he escaped because he didn’t like being caged all the time so he waited for his opportunity to break free. He told me he is studying this new home (the rescuer’s place) because he is also looking for a way out. 😱… He asked her to set him free because he doesn’t like staying in the cage perpetually (my client doesn’t believe in keeping birds 😅😅 so she doesn’t want to keep him but she is worried he won’t make it outside if she sets him free.. Catch 22 situation).
So she did the next best thing, she tried to find him a home where he will be allowed to fly around and not be caged up. There was an offer to adopt him but he would still be kept (in a huge, ginormous cage with another budgie but they won’t be let out to fly at all). I asked my sister if she might be interested in adopting this beautiful boy and had her talk to him.
Her own budgie, Cotton flew into a territorial rage that night when she reached out to talk to this boy. I guess that was a no-go. I got a call right after I sent her the text asking if she might want to talk to him and see how they both feel? She video called me back to show me Cotton bobbing his head, furiously squawking and pecking her fingers. Metallica concert going on…. Then he saw me in the video call and flew to the screen to yell at me. Ok, I told Cotton, “I’m sorry I asked”. Not good enough, he only flew off screen when I assured him out loud that this budgie won’t be going to live with them (why are the small ones so spicy, huh??? 🤔🤔)… So while talking to my sister about this budgie, Cotton flew b
