The Pepper Manual, Chapter 1

How to make sure you get your breakfast at 7 am in the morning. Even on weekends.
1. Nibble on Mama's hand. When you see that she has fidgeted a bit, it's halfway to success!
2. Move on and nibble on her toes. She'll be nice not to kick you into the air,
    even though it is somewhat a normal reflex action when you feel something nibbling at your toes.
3. Mama will now try to entertain you a little (ie: sayang you a little). But remember, that is
   NOT your goal! You want breakfast and only breakfast!
4. Therefore, you need to be more determined and repeat Step 1 and Step 2
    over and over and over  again.
5. Mama will now act smart and use her blanket to cover her whole body, so
    that you do not get to nibble her, only the blanket.
6. At this time you must switch to Plan B. Start digging at her blanket.
    It works because Mama will be worried that you are trying to poo on her bed.
7. By this time Mama would have regretted covering her whole self with the blanket.
    The heat is killing her!
8. She gives up and goes over to the kitchen.
9. Okay! Time to jump off her bed and follow her.
10. MiaoMiao is also happy because she is a considerate little cat and doesn't like to
      nibble on people during their sleep. But she still benefits!

Pepper's new home

Visit Pepper at his new home:

Wooden cupboard@ The Bedroom 1

#02-01

(Somehow he likes to climb into empty cupboards cubicles. Sighs.)

MiaoMiao in an ugly sleeping position

What is this?????

MiaoMiao why you sleep like that?

Fancy a drumstick anyone?

The World's Greatest Predators

Beware..

We have some of the world's most dangerous predators

right in our home

First coming up we have the sabre-tooth Pepper,

who sleeps with his tooth protruding out

(Pepper: Do I look intimidating enough?)

Do not be deceived by this shy-looking MiaoMiao.

She has a record of 2 lizards and 1 ant, at least.

What record? Go figure.

(All I can say is that she is fiercely loyal to her Science Diet food

and guinea pig food which she likes to snitch. She doesn't

really like anything else)

Our bloody-mouth Kopi

The very dangerous Kopi who preys on...

ToMaToes!

The juicier the better.

Oui!

Last but not least,

be severely warned that

each of them has the ability

to melt your heart into pure liquid

Be afraid, be very afraid....

Meteor rain!

Heard that there were a meteor rain this morning, at 5am
It is the Leonid meteor rain, occuring between
17 and 18 November

Some info I found:
"The Leonids are best known for their 33-year peaks, during which 100s of meteors per hour can be observed. The last of these peaks occured in 2001."

Pepper slept soundly all the way until 5.15am,
then he started trying to wake us up,
stepping all over his poor mamas and nibbling on fingers

Pepper: "Mama, wake up and watch the meteor rain!"


Like real. He was just hungry and wanted his food.

Random Pics again!

Our BIGFOOT Pepper

Shoe Size: Somewhere above 45

One of those times when our demure-looking MiaoMiao

sleeps with her legs wide apart

The Brave MiaoMiao goes on her adventure.

In our new cabinet.

We are trying to be subtle.

Pepper, do you get our message?

The Pretty Sock Drawer

" Ooh! Mama you caught me!

I swear I wasn't trying to destroy your socks!"

"It's soooo comfortable here. Could I have a little bed

in this pretty little sock drawer please?"
" Not to mention that I love the nice-smelling socks! Ahhh..."

MiaoMiao's allowance

" 20 cent, 40 cent....."

Woo?! $10? Mama is this my allowance?
So you mean now I have to get my own food...

"Does that mean in future if I sit at the food corner

and look pitiful, I won't get any food?"

Our 2 SuperCats

Supercat Pepper

Supercat MiaoMiao

SAME SAME

But Different

Pepper doing Maths

Pepper doing Maths. Limits!

Then he fell asleep...Zzzzz...

Mama I don't like limits!

I wanna learn Differentiation!

(Pepper you should really learn differentiation.

Learn to differentiate between

what you can eat and what you can't)

(Just some random photo-taking I did

in between of filing up my worksheets)

I love satay!

OH NO I got to write this down:

Popo bought satay back for dinner.
There were some sticks left over in the kitchen
And we were in the living room watching telly

Then Pepper ran over to where we were,
with a stick held in his mouth
He then jumped into the empty guinea pig cage
(the guinea pigs were out for their walk)
and placed the stick on the bedding

YES,
it's a satay he koped from the kitchen table
and it's the uneaten one,
not the empty stick
so we had to throw it away
after getting it out from his mouth

he was probably going to sit
in the nice bedding and
enjoy it slowly in front of the television

Too bad he had to do that in front of
all his mamas and popo.

Our New Cat

Who's BOBO??

The Robo-Cat BOBO!!

It's a battery operated robot cat

I got years ago,

using a $100 Toys R' Us voucher I won

MiaoMiao approaches BOBO with caution

MiaoMiao decides she likes Pepper better.

More blur and nicer to bully
(Actually it's the other way round now)

What is the time now?

What time is it?






It's 10 o' clock!

MiaoMiao gets her revenge

MiaoMiao was sleeping on the little green chair
which has some little long holes on the seat of it.

Pepper comes along, and (of course) proceeded to disturb MiaoMiao
This is easily done by simply poking his extended claws through the holes
so that it would make contact with MiaoMiao who is snoozing
and then wake her up.

I then carried Pepper away
so that MiaoMiao could get some peace.
However
the smelly BeiBei (Pepper's nickname)
was so carried away with his playing
that he bit my hand
(It's not painful and he doesn't bite down hard, just that he's in one of his crazy moments)
However it's still a bad habit.
So I held him in front of me
and stare into his eyes sternly
And naturally he took this opportunity to "punch" my nose again (Refer to "Pepper's 10 Commandants to Ougwee - #1")
("Naughty mama") words must have been running through his head

Apparently MiaoMiao was thinking the same thing too.
Except that it was "Naughty Pepper"
She was right behind Pepper when I was scolding him
And she seized the moment to smack Pepper (gently though) on the back
As if thinking it might not do the trick
she smacked him again squarely on the head
Made me laugh like mad..

The Inconvenient Truth

It's now rather inconvenient for us to use the bin in the room

Because now that Pepper is back to his normal self,
he still remembers his darling cotton buds!

Thing is,
he is fiercely loyal to THE cotton bud,
and not just any cotton bud

There were two occasions
I caught him playing with a cotton bud
he got from the bin,
so I took a fresh one, labelled it,
and gave it to him

Moments later,
he lost the cotton bud
and when I saw him next,
he was playing with another cotton bud
he fished from the bin

I know because that cotton bud is not labelled

Ougwee explains that it is because he likes
SMELLY cotton buds
eww..

As a result we try to tie the plastic bag in the bin sometimes,
so that he can't get anything out
So whenever we need to use the bin
we have to untie, throw and tie
