Free home grown cat grass

Cat grass is good for digestion, and helps make it easier for a cat to eliminate fur balls.

In the west, cat grass is typically grass grown from wheat, oat, barley, or rye seeds.

In the east, my friend taught me that you can find the Malaysian version of cat grass around the bushes.

I found mine growing at the roots of trees in a playground. A friendly neighbour's cat was chewing on it.

I scooped some of the grass into my pot, brought it back home, and put it on the balcony banister away from prying eyes. It didn't work because one of my cats is a bit of gymnast. Friesia spotted it, and eagerly leapt onto the banister to chew the cat grass. I kept pushing her down and told her "No" and bobbed her nose. She knows what I mean but she ignored my command and leapt up onto the banister again. That's it, balcony's out of bounds for Friesia, until she learns not to jump on the banister!

Free-range DQ clean chicken at Jusco Setiawangsa

DQ clean chicken is organic in every sense - the chickens are free-range, grass-fed, antibiotic free (owner Mr Wong, prefers to call it "beyond organic"). From my experience, it's difficult enough to find antibiotic free chicken, so finding organic chicken is even more so. BTW, before you list various places to find kampung chicken, let me clarify that kampung chicken is actually a breed name, and does not imply free range.

Food Safari's blog lists only 5 places to find free-range DQ clean chicken, so I was well-pleased to find the 6th place: the new Jusco Setiawangsa (RM23.99 each). Not only that, Jusco Setiawangsa stocks frozen Australian turkey leg and fresh local Boer goat meat, which make nice alternative to raw chicken for my cats :) And for us health-conscious herbivores, and omnivores, Jusco Setiawangsa also has a generous selection of organic veg, pulses, and snacks.
