A too hungry cat

Woke up at about 4am today
(due to Pepsi caffeine at night I guess),
and the hopeful Miaomiao was a little hungry already,
though it's still about 3 to 4 hours to her next mealtime.

She kind of waited expectantly for me to feed her,
but wells,
we are quite firm about the fixed meal thing now.

I opened the refrigerator to look for food
(it sounds kind of unfair that Miaomiao can't eat and I can),
then she jumped up onto the stool next to the refrigerator,
and expected food to miraculously appear.
When it didn't she started to nibble on plastic bags
beside where she was,
as if trying to push across her point that she IS hungry
(she always does that anyway)

Why must our cat have such a irritating habbit?

P.I. At Work

Pepper sticks his head right into Emily's shoes.
"I must smell to find out if Mama is up to anything fishy outside!" :-<

Licking butt-butt

Momo is finally able to lick his butt-butt!

Sounds a little obscene here,
but cats do that anyway,
and for quite a long time
I always noticed that he had problems licking some parts of his body,
and he always sits quite ugily, like :

Note his leg sticking out from the side.

I realised that he is able to sit properly now!

Momo had lost some weight these 2 months
and is about 7.2kg now.
Far away from the 8kg that I feared he was approaching.

Phew...

The Name is important

Mama: "Momo!"

Momo does not respond.

Mama: "Momo! Momo!"

Momo does not respond.

Mama: "Mo-chan!"

Momo runs over obediently and rather happily.

The consequence of not calling your kitty his correct name from the start..

The Importance of Product Warranty

back to the past :)

This is an old video Ougwee took
when Pepper just came.

Miaomiao seriously had a lot of patience
for such a hyperactive little kitten
who kept seeing her as some sort of punching bag

Beanbean chuckles *HEHE*

Not sure how good this actually is,
but anyway,
good-bye chicken by-product!



Momo's nosebleed

Today Momo sneezed,
and blood spurted out from his nose.

His nose kept bleeding and bleeding,
and using tissue did not help

The bleeding went on non-stop
for at least 5 minutes,
and it was quite worrying

We then used cold and wet compress
(thanks to iPhone which could look up information quickly)
The bleeding slightly subsided.

Luckily the blood stopped after that.
Momo has to live with some pink fur
near his nostrils for a while.

Hope it's nothing wrong,
we all got quite a shock seeing so much blood come out of his nose

Happy 2nd Birthday Pepper!

On this very date 2 years ago,
Pepper came into our house,
in a cardboard box with his 3 other cute siblings

Somewhat and somehow,
we decided to keep "The Naughty One",
who has now grown into a handsome young cat.

The Naughty One

The Handsome One :)

So here we have,

20 Reasons Why We Love Pepper!

1. He lets us hold his paw, unlike the other 2 who act like their paws are made of gold.

2. He is a very gentle and endearing cat, and has the best temper of all the three, despite giving many the initial impression that he is very fierce because of his saucepan eyes

3. His tail is cute! Although it keeps hooking onto wires sometimes (when he was younger), and scaring the hell out of him.
4.  His pink nose is cute too, it turns blue when the weather turns colder or when he just bathed.
5. He stays up together with whoever needs to finish up homework or projects at night. So sweet!
6. He takes his toy spoon or string to us when he wants to play.
7. He knows tricks such as taking Burp! treats out of the refrigerator.
8. He doesn't really mind it when I carelessly kick him in bed. Miaomiao would scowl (I think) and shift to somewhere else to sleep.
9. He is always so vulnerable, something just tugs at your heartstrings to protect him. For example he doesn't hit Momo when Momo snatches his food and just sits there and do nothing.
10. His "Orwell!" is just so cute and special! And from time to time I engage in an "Or-well!" conversation with him
11. Popo is very happy because whenever she taps the top of the shoe cabinet before she leaves the house,
he would jump up onto the shoe cabinet to say bye-bye to her.
12. He entertains us a lot when he uses the litter tray. We compare him to the penguins in the movie "Madagascar" who always try to dig the ground to go to some other part of the world. He always looks like he is trying to dig a hole into the litter tray.
13. He smells like "chou-chou". Which is the smell of the familiar childhood pillow which is quite comforting.
14. We always have the easiest time bathing him because he would sit still and let us bath him nicely.
15. He knows how to switch the fan on or off (usually unintentionally)
16. He makes this "Wruh!" sound whenever he jumps onto a higher place. Which again is cute.
17. He is also the easiest to cut nails for. I just have to push him by his side so that he falls into a lying position, then he would lie in a relaxed manner while I cut his nails. Unlike a certain cat who acts like I'm murdering her when I'm cutting her nails.
18. He's tall, dark and handsome. His body is very long so he's quite tall for a cat.
19. He is the only one who doesn't think he is an alarm clock like two certain cats! As a not-so-morning person I highly appreciate that.
20. He lets us look forward to going home after a long day of school/work/whatever. :)

Happy Birthday Pepper,
2 years with us, and many more to come :)

Shaking chair

Momo sits on his favourite chair (which he very frequently uses),
scratching himself with his leg

Chair goes
*shake
*shake
*shake
..
*shakes

As quoted:
Ougwee: "Do you realise that our chairs all don't shake except Momo's?"

Food for thought

We just got 3 sample packets of Fish 4 Cats dry food,
so we've been mixing some of it into their meals.

Good thing is,
it seems to be quite delicious and they like it a lot

Bad thing is,
even though both look roughly the same
except that one is darker coloured than the other,
they keep picking out the Fish 4 Cat pellets,
and leave the other behind.

Such picky cats.

We might be changing brands soon after some research.
It's indeed quite shocking
when we took a closer look at the ingredients
of the premium brand food that we are feeding currently

On its website,
the first ingredient is "Chicken by-product",
which we understood by some cat-related websites
that they were "leftover chicken meat scrapped off from the dirty floor etc..."

Oh gosh.
