For Tanabata

We asked Hiro what he wanted to wish for. this is what he wrote

(this is from March 1, 2019) Tall Order, but hopefully the two black cat guardians will come see us on Tanabata! Walter might pop up like this!!

Funniest Cat Walti!

Original Keeper Of the Garden

Walter would appear from under his Apple Tree, and
PRrrrr, Prrrr!!
around me.


There is no cat like Walter! Ever!

We miss him , we still talk about how funny he was , how greedy he was!
What a Go-Getter he was!

At the same time,
he still understood
the importance of

Enjoying the Peace
under The Apple Tree.

And he was so happy when you joined him in the garden,
he welcomed you.

Walter's beautuful Apple Tree is flowering again this year.

We are all hanging out in the garden.

Wish you were here Walter!

Walti Understands

Hiro and Walti, they had a special friendship.

Walter would come sit with him, and if Hiro kept on crying, he would come get me and tap me on my head to say, "Mama, Please help that poor baby! He is sad!"

it was Hiro tantrumming most of the time, but Walter, he really cared!

That is why Hiro still says he likes boy cats.
Walti is such a sweet Guardian Angel to Hiro!

Grand Walti

Look how handsome Walter is!!
He was quite owl-like sometimes!

Everyday We Should Be Surrounded by Black Angel Cats

They make the best Guardian Angels!

Hime and Walter, they were always there for us.

When we think of Best Friends, we think of you two.

Indie and Walter Birthday !

Indie is a special black cat like Walter
so I decided her birthday
(which is somewhere at the beginning of October) is
10/10 ,
like Walter!
10 out if 10!!

Happy 1st birthday Indie, and Happy Birthday to Walter in heaven.

Kechi Indie jumped off so I couldn't do a Birthday photo!

But Hiro drew a picture of all of our black cats , as Baikin??

Mieszky and The Black Cats

Hime, and Walter,
and Mieszky.

Very calm when it is these three, Hime likes both of them and they both respect Hime!

Having not only one, but two special black cats!!

Walti is My Favorite

Hiro still tells everyone
his favorite cat out of all our cats we have ....
is Walti!!

He was so funny , with a caring heart.
Such a special cat!!!

I hope he thinks of us sometimes inbetween crunching meat
and PRRrrr PRrrr kneadimg somewhere!

Someone Will Get A Wack Soon

This is a very RARE picture of the four guys together!

But SOMEONE will be getting a Wack !!!

Look at Hime Boss' angry eyes!

Getting too close for her liking!!

She put everyone in their place, Hime Queen.
And Walter, Mieszky, T and even Frankie followed.
100% sure Indie would.
Sometimes Paz.

Walter Was a Good Judge of Character Too.

Walter did hit Mieszky sometimes,
but he did love Mieszky.

We all can appreciate pure kindness!

I am pretty sure Walter would have liked Indie.

I wonder what Walter would think about...Frankie?!

He would probably respect her Loud, Hissing Frankie-ness, but probably try to steal her food though.

Quiet Fuzzies

Walter and Mieszky on a quiet summer day.
Don't forget the third Fuzzie in the back! August 28, 2022

Indie Is "Half and Half"

Hiro says,
"Is Indie's mom Hime, and her Papa, Walti?"


yes, at a glance she does look a lot like Hime,
but has the round and slightly slanted eyes like Walter,
that "Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon Look"

I would say it is the best of both worlds!



She does eat a lot like Walter, she's growing so long!

Walter Came to See Me

I had a dream where we were all hanging out 

And Walter walked in. 

He had the lush soft black hair , very ARIKUI!!!! 

He came in and he was healthy and well! 

“Walter is back , “ I thought in my dream . 

It was so natural and nice feeling. I think he came to tell me he was doing well. 

I woke up and I couldn’t tell it was a dream , and I did . Even though it was a dream it was so nice to see him. 

Hiro told Shane couple of days before this dream , that Hime , Walter, Pazzy came to visit him. 

What a coincidence ! Or is it? 

Maybe it is that time of the year! 

You’re Annoying My Warm Bliss!

​I brought back electric warm rug. 

Of course Hime noticed it first, and got on it! 

“Ooh, this is nice, like a little switch on sunshine!” 

Hime says. 

But someone also noticed and started his 

“Prrr, Prrr, Prrrrrr!!!” Kneading. 

Walter. 

Hime gives him a wack!!

“You are disturbing me on my sunshine rug!”

Please Look After Walti!

I asked Hiro if Frankie was his cat. He said, "No, Walti is."

He looked at the ceiling and said, "God, please make sure Walti does not die."

Uh, that is a very tall order, there's always the next life.
Cats do have 9 lives after all!
And Walter did lots of good!

I asked our inhouse Artist, Zum to make a little Walti Keychain.
Hiro says he's going to use it!

I told him , "You could always put the Walti keychain on his grave??"
and Zum and Hiro both said,
"No, I don't want the slugs getting on the Walti keychain!!"

So Please , someone in the sky, look after our unique and special Walti Balti.

Sit… Wait… Good Boy!!!

Loyal T listens to me and waits Patiently!! He really learned "Sit" in two days. T is so clever when he puts his mind to it!

T is so handsome, Looks nice with the blue stars!!

Toothless Is My Favorite

Can you see the resemblence!!??

Walter is the splitting image !
So naturally I had tears in my eyes when Toothless made friends with Hiccup in "How to Train Your Dragon!"

Zum’s Birthday

Hime is always there for Huggies and fun,

and Walter even Prrr Prrr ed for a while!

You May Be Too Fat

For the Fatty Saucer, Paz!

"I will have to go on the other side to try to balance it out! " Walter says.

My Kids and Walter

Thanks for being kind to my kids, Walter, you are amazing.
