Swish , Swish

,
Missed my Big Baby !
He Swishes his tail when I call his name or Indie or Mani or Frankie's name!!

We Look Like We Are Friends...

But we are NOT!!!

We normally keep respectable distance between us when we are chilling on the couch,
doing the same thing 8 hours a day.

What Am I Smelling??

When we were adopting Frankie , we got the blanket from Frankie's pen to bring to us.

I showed it to T and he , was very suspicious, and went in the bag to sniff further.

We took our cats blanket to Frankie to show her, she gave it a sniff, and was not interested any more than that!

Turns out Frankie dislikes all cats anyway, so it did not matter!

Sweet Mieszky did not care if a new old cat blanket came that smelled of a big Maine Coon!

He likes everybody, cat or human!

Hime Boss and T

"We are not so different Hime Boss and Me,"
T says.

Hime Boss even let me sit next to her
on Mama's lap without wacking me,
sometimes!!

Everybody else hated the cat carrier ,

I personally love it and go in it whenever I get a chance!

Hime Boss likes sitting on top of it,
so we have a sort of a Bunk Bed!!


Hime Boss and I are both Loyal friends to the humans!

Mani Makes Lots of Effort

T T Oniichan is sitting quietly , enjoying his afternoon nap on the chair.

There is a rustling behind the chair, what is that?

TT Oniichan knows exactly who is making that annoying rustling!!!


"WRRRR," he says.

"It's Me, TT Oniichan!
Wanna play???"

"Wrrrrrrr" , TT Oniichan says in a low growl.

"Come on, Please play with me!!!"
Mani says.

Mani hides again, but shows a little tail.

"Come chase me!!!"

TT Oniichan refuses !!!


Well, it worked ONCE with Frankie Onechan!
She actually chased Mani!!

Doesn't hurt to keep trying!

T is more like Loki than Thor

We have and had with us many cats but
is there a cat more cunning ,
calculating,
yet trouble causing than T??

When I was reading the Norse Folk Tales, Loki is EXACTLY that!!

yes he LOOKS the part, handsome , strong and looks like your typical Norse God!!

But he is loyal friend to us humans and he makes up for all of his Loki-ness!!

When You Can Enjoy the Silence With Someone

That's when you know when you have a special bond.
Indie and TT Oniichan.

They don't do this with just anybody,
it's from the years of trust Indie earned with TT Oniichan by respecting his space.

not playing with his tail(even though she was a kitten) ,
and Playing with TT Oniichan when he feels like it.


Only the chosen few. For T anyway.

Double Knead!

It must have been a miracle for T
to actually like another boy cat.

And they were best friends!

Mieszky is such an angel ,
he was a buddy to everybody.

This picture is from March 3 2021. Calm when the world was chaos.

TT Oniichan and Indie 's Bond

I don't know how, but Indie and T still have a special bond.

Indie has always been a very respectful kitten,
she wanted to play with TT Oniichan's tail...
but she did not want him to be mad at her
so she managed to restrain, and showing respect to her big brother.

T, who was hated by most of our cats,

would play with Indie and Mieszky.

Now that Mieszky is in heaven,
the only person T plays with is Indie.

Mani, who is a different softie to Mieszky, wants to play with everyone.
T hates Mani, a new male in the house is not good news for T....

Indie makes sure she pays attention to T,
she sometimes plays with Mani,
but she puts her loyalty to TT Oniichan.

T and Indie, totally differnt, but special friends.

Why Do You Not Show Your Appreciation??

Indie says,

"I will NOT resort to my rights being violated
and being picked up!
Izumi Kaijyu
She betrayed me agaaaaain!!!!"

TT Oniichan says,

"Indie,
Why do you not show your appreciation
to the masters, and let them pick you up??"

"I used to hate being picked up too,
but I was being naughty >every day
couple of times, every day
annoying Paz and Walter,

...I got used to being picked up."


...Wise words from TT Oniichan,

who, did not used to be so wise.

Pretty Pirate

When you are T,
you totally rock

the Beautiful Bad Pirate Look

when you only have one eye!

TT, yes you are handsome
and you are coming to
show me your appreciation
by coming to sit in front of me...but....

you are not supposed to be on the table!

Goes back to the chair.
Swishing his tail.
Swish swish swish!!

Indie and TT Oniichan

They enjoy eachother's company!
Best friends!

I Honestly Thought

I walked by Zum's room, and thought,

"oh that's nice,
Hime and T are getting along because it is sunny !"

then I realized, it wasn't Hime!
It is T's protigee Indie.

Yes Indie and Hime are very different cats.... One of the biggest difference between them is that Hime HATES T, and Indie LOVES T!
... but it is a nice feeling to remember Hime.

THIS is Hime with T nearby!

Well, it was one of the rare times Hime would let T hang out near her,
when it was springtime and the warm sun in Zum's room,
Or if Hime found an interesting spot,
that T was sleeping near.

T knows not to mess with HIME BOSS, SHE tells him when he can or can't come near her!

What is that smell???

That is T when we brought back Frankie's blanket from Cats Protection....
he sniffed the blanket in the bag for a looooong time.

"What is that strange cat smell, it must be a girl , and she must be a very bossy one...."

He had no idea, that Bossy Loud Girl cat was going to come live with us!!

I presented our cat blanket to Frankie at Cats Protection
but Frankie got bored of the blanket in 1 minute!!!

"Uh, Frankie, do you not want to smell the new cats you will be friends with soon?"

Nope, Frankie has no interest in other cats, she doesn't want to be friends with them , because she is above all that!!!

So she just turned her bottom towards and walked off.

Uh, I think I won't go outside today...

T is not a very manly cat like Pazzy was.
He scratched the door so he can go outside for his 10 minute walk around the block, then saw this....

No, it looks very cold.

But we saw footprits from when the Fox and maybe Magpie visited us early this morning!!

I love our foxes and magpies!!

and T went back inside to cuddle with us.

Buddies

TT Oniichan and Indie Kaijyu hanging out in the morning.

They get along so well,
even when they are not playing with eachother, they sit together sometimes.

Pretty amazing considering all the other cats did not get along with T!
Indie looks small next to him, but they are actually about the same length when they stretch!!! Byooooon!!

One of T’s Great Traits Is…

That T is grateful!

He had two weeks of wearing the cone after the surgery,

and he finally got the cone off!

It had been long time with the cone,
he was very needy and sat on my lap every chance he got!

The first thing he wanted to do was
to go out the front of the house.

But when he did,

he was following me around,
headbutting me with gratitude as he walked.

He was so happy to be able to walk outside!
He did well considering he only has one eye!

Isn't it a miracle,
he has gone through so many hardships ,
yet he is here with us,
still handsome as ever!! And he's a great friend!

Our Loyal Friend T

T had an eye infection for a while and he needed to have the eye taken out.
It was very hard seeing him after the surgery, he had such beautiful eyes (he still has the beautiful eye)
and I have always thought he was young, and strong.

The nurse said he would not let them wipe his cone that had blood on it.
He was fiesty after all.
But he was hungry and she offered him the food but he would not eat it.
We brought him home and he did not eat after the surgery, not even his favorite Churu and it made us cry.

We just have always known him to be Strong, Mighty Thor.
I had many regrets that I should have noticed his eye infection sooner, etc, I have taken him for granted.

The kids slept with him on the floor and when we woke up the next day, he was gone.

He had managed to go upstairs with the cone on his head, and his missing eye.
We offered him some food and he ate some Churu and tiny bit of the food.
He must have still been weak because Frankie saw him and did not hiss at him like she always did.

I was surprised to be so sad that his beautiful eye had gone.
I thought we liked him for his funny personality and his loyal nature so I didn't think how he looked would have affected me.
But it was an beautiful eye, and it was probably also because he really was struggling with the cone.

Indie sat next her TT Oniichan upstairs.

We brought him on the couch and we sat with him,
and he purred a little bit.

The next day after he was a bit better.
He ate lots of Churu and the vet food. He did not mind eating the medication mixed into the Churu.

After he ate, he actually jumped up on the couch and sat on my legs like he usually does.
I was so happy he could do that and he wanted to sit with me.

When I went to the bathroom to wipe Mieszky's nose, T actually got up and followed me into the bathroom like he normally does!

Also another good sign was that Frankie started hissing at him again after 2 days of not hissing at him!
If Frankie thinks that he is well enough to be Hiss-worthy, that is something isn't it!

He also had his little companion Indie Kaijyu who would sit next to her big brother!

He is , after all, Mighty Thor, and Loyal T. No matter how old he is , and how many eyes he has.
I am so happy to have him with us.
He is smart, and a loyal friend.
My Big Baby!!
