Miaomiao Shows Her Maternal Side

It's been a while since little Pudding
(who says his surname is Pu, name Ding Ding)
came into our house.

Anyway he has found a home now,
and is due to go over in about a week's time.

There was one day Miao Miao decided to be nice
and started licking Pudding.
This is something Miaomiao only does
if she sees the newcomer worthy of her time.

Anyway, Pudding committed a mistake all silly kittens do,
and that was to think Miaomiao was playing with him,
and started kicking her face.

Of course that incurred Miaomiao's instant wrath,
which earned him a whack on the head.

Caught Miaomiao sniffing at Pudding's litter tray one day,
then she started helping him to bury his pee more properly
(since cats are quite big on burying their pee and poop properly to hide the smell)
then she sniffed again.
Satisfied that the smell was better hidden,
she went off and continued with her own stuff.

That was her way of showing concern for the little kiddo: )

The special thing about Momo

Momo was quite a different kitten when he came.

When he was only about two month old,
he learnt to climb to heights that Pepper and Miaomiao
had mastered after three months of age.

When he learnt to play with the bigger cats,
he would jump on them and bite til they yelp.
(The consequences of removing a kitten from its mama before two months - no social skills)

Not to forget
he always had his self-created happy hour sessions,
during which he would sprint crazily around the house for fifteen minutes straight.

As a result he was abit of an outcast with Pepper and Miaomiao,
who was both actually willing to accept the newcomer,
before he showed his 'wild' character.

But yet,
as much as Momo showed himself to be a tough lil' kitten who can climb and run,
he had that soft side in him:
he was the cat who whimpered and crouched timidly on my lap during car rides,
he was the cat who whacked the vacuum cleaner when no one was in sight,
he was the cat who begged for every extra scrap of food he could get,
and last but not least,
he was the cat who loved Cookie Monster like a real younger brother. <3 p="p">
I really did not expect that he would be the one to bond the most strongly with Cookie Monster;
he was the one who growled at the newcomer every day,
and showed his displeasure each time he saw him,
until Cookie Monster's eagerness to follow this Big Brother around
melted away Momo's resistance against the adorable newcomer.

I guessed he really liked it that he finally had a new playmate
who didn't find his way of playing rough.

Occasionally when he walked past Cookie Monster
he would rather nonchalantly give him a few licks.
Yet that few licks was actually Momo's show of love towards him
(despite the bad breath he was reputed for having)

Momo would have won at any cat wrestling if given the chance,
yet he would always give in to Cookie Monster during their daily wrestles
and let Cookie Monster score some kicks in his face.

He has always been the one who earned the most butt-whacks for being so naughty,
but yet, with his innocent quirks, what is not to love?

Mama I want to go overseas too...

The Pink Shirt

Lately Cookie Monster had been wrestling too much with Momo
that he now looks like a cross between a Beijing 101 potential customer and a homeless cat.

So Miss Almond the JRT had kindly donated her skin cream,
and we are applying it on him to see if it helps things.

Thing is, as a normal cat,
he keeps licking that bald patch each time we apply it for him.

So the solution was... either a e-collar, or a shirt.

I think a shirt, though pink, was the less of the two evils.
And the weather was pretty cool this morning due to the heavy rain

Wrote a note to Popo to strip Cookie Monster later in the day.

So there!
See how he is going to lick his back!
