Cat is urinating everywhere and peeing on furniture!

Making your cat stop urinating everywhere in the house and peeing on your furniture may be a lot easier than you think, it only needs some consistent cat litter training!

I have recently sent an e-mail in the cat recipes mailing list (yeah subscribe!) that explains how to stop your cat from peeing on your furniture in the house, and since I know some of you are not already subscribed in the mailing list (some fail to learn about its existence) I decided to make it available to you as well until you subscribe to the mailing list.

This chilli has a great flavour and is very spicy hot due to the added Thai chillies. For next batch I will use milder chilli so I can use more of it.

Here is an easy and straight forward recipe with chicken.

Masak lemak labu & udang (Creamy pumpkin and prawn curry)

If you ask me what do I cook most, my answer will probably be Chinese and Malay food. I love the rich and aromatic Malay/Nyonya curries, salad, cakes and cookies. I can get most of the spices, herbs and other Malay ingredients over here to make almost anything I want, though many ingredients can be quite expensive over here than back home.
