Females Understand Quality

Frankie is waaaay to big to fit on my tiny Vintage Coach Bag. 
Yet she’s sat on it , putting her glove paws on them…. 
It is nice leather after all.
Like Hime , Frankie , and me, we understand quality !

Birthday Card

​Hime went to heaven as the sun rose.

That was her time she’d normally go outside, wether it was raining or sunny, 

She’d come back usually wet and sit on top of me, and nap till we had to get up. 

She stayed for my birthday so we can spend it together one last time. I told her I loved spending 16 years together.
She made our time together so much fun, and showered us with Huggies.
How lucky are we to be able to be with our best friend almost every day for 16 years?  


It was a good time and day for Hime to fly free, to Heaven , to go find new sitting spots and climb on things, her round eyes shinning with excitement and curiosity .

She will have lots of expensive leather jackets and vintage leather bags to scratch on, because she is a girl who understands Quality!
I hope she can come see us , whenever we have something new, or we are doing something weird,
like practicing Karate outside,
she'll want to check it out.
 


Zum made this for me , what amazing girl Hime helped me raise! 


Hime, You’re My Favorite Person

​And you are like my sister 

And you are my best friend. 


You are connected to us , we will find each other wherever you may be. 

Thank you for being my Best Friend 

Himepumpkin! 

神様、姫を大切にして下さい!

​I spoke with Hiro about Hime going to Heaven. 

He understood because he experienced Pazzy and Walter going to Heaven. 

He looked up at the sky, and said, 

「神様、姫を大切にして下さい!」


I thought that was a very profound request. 

Hime is special and she is important to us and we want someone to know she’s special and take good care of her after she leaves us. 



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!”

Hime’s Mom

I am thankful to Hime’s mom who we met briefly.

She was young and small like Hime and looked a lot like her but black and white. 

She must've passed down her Special genes to Hime, because Hime was already the most Creative and Nosiest kitten at Cats Protection at 1 month old.

Hime was the size of my palm, and she came and walked across my shoulders Prrrr Prrr-ing and rubbing her tiny face on my face.
She was black, and tiny , almost a kitten that you would look over because of her tinyness and blackness, but there was a special spark.


Her mom was with the other kittens but she was eager to get stroked too, she said,
" hey, come look at me too,I have 5 kittens but I am super cute and special! "

We regretted immediately after getting Hime , not picking her mom up too. But of course her mom got adopted too right away.

It makes me think that being Super Nosey and taking interest in things , noticing things , make our lives so special. 


I hope me, and my kids can also make our lives
Nosey ,
Creative,
and Smart ...
like Grand Master Hime!

Swish, Swishing Ma Tail!

​T has a great way of ignoring me. 

I call him and when he doesn’t want to answer me, 

He just uses his tail! 


One Swish. 





“Yes I hear you, but I don’t feel like lifting my head or looking at you . But I will acknowledge you with my tail. “ 


So I like to call him when he’s sleeping on my lap, and I am holding his tail. 

“Sleeping T! Big Baby! Thor!”

One swish attempt her call. 


Very handy to have a very long fluffy tail. None of the other guys can do the same !

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!!"

Warm, Wise, and Kind

Hime has always been a great Friend.
She is good company, and funny to be around, and really cute!!

When she is around my kids, she's like an aunt or big sister to them.
she will come over to them and look up at them regularly to say, "You are so cute and I want to give you Huggies."

and she will rush over if they are sad or upset.
And she is there on my lap, without me noticing that she is there!

I forgot that I had that support from Hime when we were away.
Now that we are back, she is there to look after them.

Hime may be small but she is wise, and she is 16, much older than Hiro or Zum.
Does wisdom come in every cat, after certain age?
I am not sure, but Hime is of course No1 in the Universe. What can we say!

Similarities Between T and Frankie

They look very different , we don't know for sure but they are both Maine Coon cross. But they have very similar personalities, they are both scardy-cats but like to hiss!
