“Can you imagine life without our pets?” My friend Chi asked in our WhatsApp group chat a few days ago. This was after we had spent a lot of time gushing and giggling over videos of our pets – each other’s “godpets.” I read somewhere that Millennials treat their pets as their firstborn child, and […]
Froyo DiCatrio
I have wanted a cat for so long. But I told myself I’d only get one once I was at my “forever place.” But this year I thought: who knows when I’d ever get there?? If this pandemic has taught me anything, it’s that life is too short to be constantly waiting before being happy. […]
I Have a Second Goddog
Last week, I was having lunch with a colleague in the pantry when we got to talking about her dog. She said that she loves her dog so much to the point that she thinks she might be crazy. “Oh trust me, you are not,” I assured her. “I have friends who are just like […]
Adorable Aki
My friends Maybelle and Jon have a pet budgie named Aki, whom we met at their home before. When they flew home to the Philippines for holy week, they asked if Jemma and I could pet-sit Aki. Since birds are low maintenance pets, we said sure. I didn’t realise how adorable she would be! She […]

I have a Goddog (A Puppuccino Story)
A few weeks ago, my friend Chi got a poodle as a birthday present from her husband. “What should I name him?” She asked. “My husband suggests Sherlock. Or Van Gogh.” “Why Van Gogh?” I asked. “I don’t know!” She replied. “Peanut? Latte? Macchiatto?” “Ramen?” I suggested. “Because of the curly hair? Or Justin Timberlake!” […]
The Cat Cafe @ Bugis
What do you when you love cats but can’t have one for your own in Singapore? You go to a cat cafe, that’s what. Okay so that intro is hardly original. I used it for my dog cafe post. Oops. 😛 Might as well use the next few paragraphs of that post, eh? First things […]

Brazo de Mercedes the Cat
I first saw him on the steps leading to the park last week, when Cate and I first hit the park for exercise. It was love at first sight. I bent down and said, “Aww he’s such a cutie!” It’s raining cats in Ang Mo Kio, but he was the first cat I saw with that […]
