MUSINGS

I would like to tell you about myself.
I was the first cat.
I was the cat-lover-converter. Means, the whole family was not into cat, until I converted them.
I have that special powers to make people love me, and my fellow felines at home.
I am still the head of the house.

I remembered when I first came home.
They all went to choose me and I was in this little cage inside the house.
Mummy was the last person to know there was a cat.
Yep, she had quite a shock to see me inside the house.
Her first words were..."what an ugly cat!!"
What me? An ugly cat?

So, this was me when I was just a few days at home. I thought I was cute.
Mummy didn't.
Thank goodness everyone else loved me even then.

I used to sleep with Mummy. That was my secret weapon. Not long after, she loves me.
Here's her favourite shot of me sleeping when I was a little kitten.

Then months went by and I grew.
A lot more! So, to prove how much I have grown in the past 7 months since staying with my human family, I post a before (kitten time - age 2.5 months) and now picture (almost 10 months).
Now, mummy never calls me ugly anymore.
They do have many other funny names they call me, but I don't care as long as the food keeps coming :)
After a bout of fungus and losing a lot of my kitten fur, it grew more, softer, thicker and denser.
Okay, okay...I wasn't so cute as a little kitten.
I am way better now :)
Don't you think so?

Bye for now....
Love, Princess

MAXI

Mummy's been complaining.
One cat has been playing with her stuff on the table.
She leaves them neat and comes come to things being shuffled.
She said ..."must be you, Princess!"
..but I protested! It was certainly not me!!

Then, we found the culprit!!
Sleeping on the table most days when no one is at home...

I knew it was you Maxi!

Maxi says " yeah! yeah! So what? Now leave me alone!"

We have a long weekend for Chinese New Year.
Now that means the human family is at home.
Also means more food for us.
We heard there's a BBQ going on, so bet that's going to be good too :)

Bye!

My spot!

There is this one particular special spot at Mummy's room downstairs.
It's has air condition, and it's Maxi's favourite spot!

Here was what happened:

Maxi : Hey! Princess move away, that is my spot!!
Princess: No way!

Maxi: Now you leave me no choice but to wrestle with you !!
Princess: I will take my chances!!

....5 minutes later..

...15minutes later...still wrestling...longest session ever...

And...finally, Maxi won :(
Yeah...he looked pretty happy and smug!

I am boycotting you now Maxi.
I find another buddy in Baby now, she doesn't wrestle with me over spots.

BATH TIME AND ANGEL

Bath time.

We dont like it but we had to have it.

The first few times was a nightmare. 

I scratched mummy till the gloves were in shreds :(

My buddy below, Maxi...well, he pooped in the water for the first time.

Over the months. It improved...a lot..much to the relief of our human family.

Here's Maxi enjoying his bath. He doesn't even move or struggle much, just sitting pretty in the tub.

Maxi after bath time. Okay, maybe he was a bit grumpy but no struggle :)

 Baby being the newest member had a tougher time in the tub.
Not happy too but she'll get used to it.

Here's me watching telly with Miss Em. We are great buddies as we are all here because she loves us cats the most. The rest of the family are cat-lover-converts now. Mummy said I am putting on weight well and looking very much like my buddy, Maxi.  Maybe but I am prettier :)

Everyone had a bath, except Angel.
She came back from the Vet after spending 3 days there.
She has been spayed and recovering really well.
Her wound is clean and dry but she protested for wearing the COLLAR.
However, she is a really, really good girl for coping so well.

Here she is lazing under the rays of sunshine.
Life at home is back to normal now.
Angel is no longer 'on heat' and driving us cats and human bonkers with her non-stop wailing.
She no longer dash out of the door at the first opportunity.
She no longer jump on every counter looking for an opened window.
She no longer pees everywhere at home.
She no longer raise her butt in an unlady like manner.
She no longer runs away from home. She did that 2 times before.
So, finally, we are all happy.

No sun-lounging for me.
Us Persians like to sleep a lot and anywhere cool is fine.
Here's a favourite spot at Mum's room downstairs.
Maxi and I love it because on hot afternoons, the air condition is on :)

Bye for now :)
Princess

STAYING OUT

Yesterday was a public holiday.
We love holidays at it means the human family are at home.
Also mean we get to be outdoors more. Fresh air and lots of birds watching.
It was a perfect day. It rained and the air was cooling.

Maxi was not happy with the previous post.
He protested.
'why didn't Mummy clean my eyes before posting the photo?'
So, here he is...after cleaned eyes and fur combed.

 Maxi.

Maxi:, Mr Squishy nose, close up :)

10 minutes later and he is sleeping...it was raining, lovely cool weather!

Princess: Where are the birds?

Oh! there they are..come nearer..birdie :)

Raining days are perfect for sleeping outdoors. We are missing one cat, Angel. She has gone for an ops at the vet. 

Bye for now :)

CATS ON TUESDAY

Maxi has something to say.

A message to the kiddies at home.

I AM A PERSIAN.

I am NOT an American curl breed.

Therefore....

STOP PLAYING WITH MY EARS !!

(no...I have not been hurt by this...they get unfolded in 5 seconds anyway...)

Now, where is my salmon in exchange for letting you take this photo?

Bye...Maxi... ^o^

Updated:
Go to Cats on Tuesday to see the rest of the cats :)

ANGEL IS BACK!

It was not the first time she went out.
She went out many times, but it was the first time she was missing for the longest time.
We were very sure she wanted to come home but could not find the way.
After a full night of search, everyone was sad and had to give up finding her.

This morning, we were woken by the non-stop meow-ing outside the door.
Angel is back!
We are super glad. She's super glad too and ate, and drank like there was not tomorrow.

Welcome home Angel :)
