Hime is My Best Friend, too!

Hime was the first of our cats to really take interest in Zum as a baby.



Funnily, Zum's first real word was PA-ZZY, and Ha-Mi, which was her interpretation of HIME, was last. Probably harder to pronounce as a 1 year old.

Zum would say her favorite was everyone, it would change day to day.

We went to Japan in September 2016. My hubby went back first, and we were FTing, and he was showing us the house , the guys, and Hime.
Zum saw them and started getting sad.
She said in her newly acquired Japanese sentences, 「おうちに帰りたいよー」(I wanna go home)

She saw Hime giving buggies to Shane, and said she wanted to see Hime.

She missed home, the guys, especially Hime. Obachan's house was fun, but I think that was the first time she got the concept of missing home, and someone other than her parents.

Now when we are away, she says she wants to see Hime, and she says Hime is her favorite. She only wants Hime when she's sad.

Zum, Hime loves you too!
Hime hits all her brothers, but never you!!

Cat Flap Conundrum 2

Im not just looks, man!

So ... the cat flap.

Walter Dudey, with all his greediness to get to the wet food, got him to push the cat flap through, and get to the food. So he was No.1 to get it.

Now, I think Paz is the strongest, and Mieszk, perhaps the smartest, Hime was close second , when it comes to being clever.

But who was No2 to get the cat flap??


Late at night, I heard the cat flap open and close. I went downstairs expecting to the see the only cat who knows how to use it (Walter) , and...

Hime came running up to me , she looked very excited, her round nosey eyes were round as ever.
I picked her up and her fur was cold!
She had been outside and back! She seemed very pleased with herself.
Her nosey mind had helped her get out and back in!

People, I am an inspiration!

so it was :
1.THE GREEDIEST
2.THE NOSIEST
who got the cat flap.

Then Mieszk (smartest) got it, then eventually Paz,
then, poor stubborn Cookie, she was refusing to use the cat flap for the longest time. I had to open and close the French door for her as she would sit in front of the glass for me to see her.
I didn't mind doing that, as long it was just the one cat!




I thought this was a very good representation of life, I think motivation is the biggest key to succeeding at something.

Beautiful and stubborn

Then being nosey and creative gets you through.
And lastly, if you are so damn cute and stubborn, someone will open the doors for you all the time.
(Eventually Cookie got it! lol)

Cat Flap Conundrum 1

This is a story about when we finally got a cat fence and a new cat flap.

hey, open up !! I'm not putting my head through that thing!

So EVERYONE can go outside into our back garden... in theory.

Paz, Cookie, and Walter were going outside in the front, but I was worried because of all the cars speeding by.
Then one day , this man who was walking the dog told me that he had seen Walter get hit by a car.
He seemed fine, but I took him to the vets, and she said there were marks on his claws that suggests he was clawing hard , perhaps from collision.

I know you can see me! OPENNNNNN!!!!

So we got a cat fence , now everyone can go out in the back without worrying about cars, other cats, dogs, etc.

We had to get the special big size (for fatties... guess who that is?) , and installed it.

Surprisingly, the Cat Flap was a bit of a conundrum for the guys.
I put the guys outside, and pushed them through the flap couple of times. No one wanted to come in through the flap, and they were scratching the French doors to.. "OPEN UP!!!!"

Shane said, "oh great, I got the special fat size cat flap and no one wants to use it!"

But someone got it!!

Shane put the wet food in front of the cat flap and said, "GOHAN!!!!" (food time!)

and sure behold.....
WALTER pushed his snout though and got in!!!!
HEYYYYY !!!!! Who'd guessed!?

You don't have to be the smartest or the strongest, JUST THE GREEDIEST. 
It is all about motivation in life, people!

Ureeghhhh! Ghetto Princesses
don't ned to use the cat flap!

Not when you look like this!!
