Adventure Cat training
Lahksa’s First Holiday!
I’ve always envisioned travelling with Lahksa and bringing him along as much as I can. Going on adventures together and exploring the Netherlands and beyond is a dream of mine! So I was really excited and happy for our first mini vacation with Lahksa this year. We were very lucky to have this short vacation…
Mouse for dinner?
I’ve always wanted to let Lahksa try a whole prey meal but couldn’t find a place that didnt sell it in a huge bulk (we have a tiny freezer). Recently I finally got my hands on some whole frozen adult mice. 13 September 2020 was the first day Lahksa had a mouse as a snack…

After much procrastination, I’ve decided that it is about time I shared it here so it might help you start your cat’s outdoor adventures! When? We brought Lahksa home when he was around 14…
Who is Lahksa?
A little introduction to my first furchild, Lahksa! Lahksa (pronounced Lak-sa) is a red spotted Siberian male cat who was born in the Netherlands on the 17th of April 2019. Lahksa’s name was inspired by our favourite Singaporean dish, Laksa. It is a super lekker noodle dish with a shrimp coconut gravy. But we wanted…
First day as a cat mom
As of today, it has been 5 months since I’ve been a cat mom. What a journey it’s been. Let me recall and document the day that changed my life…
Nameowste!
Welcome to this tiny space on the internet where I will share my thoughts on living with my cat, Lahksa. Lahksa is my first cat so that makes me a first time catmom. I’ve wanted a cat all my life and even remembered wishing upon a star at a young age for one. And now here…
