Skachan Came to Visit Me

When we were in Japan last month, skachan visited me in my dream for the first time since she passed away.

Maybe she couldn't reach me because I was in UK and her After-Life Powers couldn't reach that far.
Anyway, that day when we were sleeping in my old bedroom in my parents' house, I vividly saw Skachan in my dream. I saw her like I remembered her, and she came to me, all cool like she always was, and I said, "Skachan, there you are ". We both knew it was temporary and it was on gifted time. It's ok, because when I woke up it finally got my closure on Skachan passing away.
Now every time we are in Japan, she is there under the Matsu tree, watching over us, and I can talk to her. Thank you for visiting me and Zumzum .

When we visited in 2014!

Mama Skachan and Baby

Aunt Jenna got Izumi a big Marie stuffed animal!
Zumzum saw it , and said "Awwwww--- Skachan!!!!"

(She calls all white cats Skachan.)

She lined up the original small Skachans and the new Big one, and she said, "Mama Skachan, Baby Skachan".

Awwwwwww!

STA-Chan!

  For her 2nd birthday, Zumzum picked out a white kitty stuffed animal.
I named her "Skachan " after my oldest first girl cat who lives in Japan with my mom.
Zumzum cuddled her and said "Aaah... Pazzy ....!!!! " Because she couldn't pronounce "Skachan ", but eventually she got it and says "Sta-chan".

She gives skachan Huggies and says "Stachan...Meeeow!"

&

"shippo batabata" = tap tap with the tail
(learned that from Hime)

Zum loves her, and brings her to bed. She wasn't interested in stuffed animals much until about couple of weeks before her 2nd birthday.
Now she cuddles and plays with them, finds comfort holding them.
She is growing up!!!








I eventually got Zumzum back up Skachans just in case.



This morning,
Zumzum held both of them and said "Frieeends!"

Good Thing About Getting Older

Is that it makes even Skachan nicer. In Japan, we say, "maruku-natta".

 

Skachan used to growl if you touched her most of the time. The attitude was not from upbringing!
I can say this because I raised 5 cats from kittens. Treated all of them the same , with love and some firmness.
I had Skachan from when she was a month old and I picked her up all the time, and she always hated it!!!
She is a cat that made you work for her affection, and when you got a glimpse of affection from her it was like the biggest praise that you ever  got in your life.
She is now 16 years old.
Skachan is now bit slower in movement because of her age but she has always been a clever cat. Now her cleverness seemed to matured to wisdom.
