When the Summer Sun Shows Up

It makes the Fuzzies hang out like friends!!


too bad Indie is still scared to venture out and enjoy the sun...

Frankie almost looks like she's hanging out with T....

T is the same annoying cat who annoys her, but all is forgotten in the sun.

Mieszky looooving it!! He is showing his adorable tummy in the sun!

Happy Birthday Hime ! And International Black Cat Day!

August 17th is always a special day, because Hime was born!

She is bright and smart like a shinning star, and warm like a cozy little blanket.

I learned this year that the International Black Cat Day is also today.
What a coincidence, or NOT conincidence it just happens to be
the Most Special Black Cat's birthday?!?!?!

She always knows if we are doiing something different,
and she wants to see,
no matter what age she is!

Hime would be 17 today,
I know she is bouncing around somewhere,
eyes full of mischief and twinkle.

Himepumpkin is BFF!!

Indie the Black Angel Kitten

Indie is shy but she has a heart of gold.
She loves everybody and snuggles up to her cat siblings,
saying, "Urrhrrr!!!"

This is usually in the morning when she wakes up from her early morning FEVER TIME , and she's ready to start the day again.
She loves everybody and snuggles up to her cat siblings,
saying, "Urrhrrr!!!"

"Urrhrrr!" means,
"Hi Mieszky Oniichan, Hi TT Oniichan, Hi Frankie Onechan. Great to see you, I love you."

Crankie Frankie will always answer with a HISSSS!!!!.... what a Mean Forest Fairy she is!!!!

Mieszky doesn't mind her, though he is older so he doesn't really want to play.
She will rub herself onto his side to show her affection.

TT will usually start playing with her, he is the only one who has the time and energy to play.

But Indie will try every day, to speak to her siblings, "Urrhrrr!" like a little pigeon.

She decided Izumi Kaijyu is ok sometimes,
because Izumi Kaijyu will throw the ball for her.
So Izumi Kaijyu gets a "Urrhrrr!" sometimes too!

She is such a pure and kind kitten!

I wish Hime could see her.
Or Walter.
Or Pazzy.

They would like and appreciate Indie's good heart, and play with her and lick her. Indie would always have someone to play with!

Is Frankie Happy? 2

So it was time to go home from the Vets.

Frankie,
being actually very intelligent,
knew she was going back to our house.

She did not MEW, MEW or even worse, start panting on the way back.

She got out of the cage in the car, and dug into the bottom of the front seat,
and kind of made herself comfortable.
Zumzum did not have to sit next to her and comfort her like on the way to the vets!

When we got to our house, I thought she'd jump out of the car and run off outside.
But she didn't.
I opened the door, and she waited patiently by the front door!

Smart Girl! (when she wants to be)

She went inside,
and she was happy at home.

She was back in her (our) back garden, chilling, once again.
It turns out, she really was happy with us, and our home , especially outside in the garden.

Even though she growls and hisses at us and everybody!!

And I learnt that she was a Maine Coon indeed, but ,
a small one!
(according to Erica Sensei)

Well, Erica Sensei also did say that Maine Coons are usually laid back...
well, maybe we have a very weird one then....

but we love Frankie for all her Crabbiness and her Noisyness,
she is funny, smart, and LOVING, (occasionally!!!) so we would really appreciate it!!!

Is Frankie Happy?

Frankie had to get her checkup.

We were very scared to take her to the Vets because last time she was in the car,
she started panting, and had her mouth and toungue out from stress.

She got very scared , maybe traumatized from when she was being moved from her old home and into her temporary home and then Cats Protection, and then to ours.

So I picked a day when Zum can come with us so she could comfort Frankie.

It was hard to even get her in the cat cage!
She started getting suspicious when we were gathered around her to try to catch her.
She was hissing and growling. She usually lets Hiro pick her up when she won't let anybody else pick her up, so I asked Hiro.
She Air-Swiped Hiro!

So it was plan B and lure her in with Churu!
She gets in the cage!!

The problem was when she was in the car.

She started crying sadly and panting.
She normally hisses and growls at us, but she was not even doing that because she was distressed.
Zum started crying she felt bad for Frankie.
I told Frankie,
"You are not going far away, and you can get back to our house soon."


We got to the vets and opened the cat cage. She rushed out to the examination table , and then looked surprised, not too stressed!
The Feliway that was plugged in next to the table must really worked on her, because she stopped, looked startled, and she was like,

"OOOOh what is this nice smell??"

The vet, Erica Sensei said, "Those create same pheromones like a mother cat does, so it calmes the cats down."

Wow!!! Who'd think that it would work on a Stress-prone, easily-annoyed loud Maine Coon like Frankie!!!

She actually looked a bit calm and started venturing around the examination room.
She didn't even growl when Erika Sensei picked her up,

(normally a guranteed "Brooowwwwwwllll Hisss !!!")

and she didn't even flinch when she got her injection!!

I asked Erica Sensei if Frankie was healthy. She said Frankie's coat is nice and she is in a good shape.
I was worried about her history of skin rashes she was getting before she came to us.

"So she is happy , do you think? She hates the other cats and she growls and Baoooowwws at us a lot!" I told Erica Sensi.
"Yes she looks happy! " Erika Sensei said .
I was so glad ! I always wondered if she was happy with us, because she growls at us a lot!!!

But then the lady at Cats Protection who looked after
Frankie said that it was the way Frankie talked!
That made sense! Some humans are crabby and like to complain and show their annoyance more than others!!

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!
