A Spot With a View

I normally do my weekly mopping on the weekends. The Spice Cats would get out of the way as soon as I take the vacumm cleaner or the mop out. Most of them would hide upstairs until I am done, except for Sesame. Sesame found a spot in the living room where he can sit without getting in my way while watching me doing my weekend routine.

Sesame watching the mop as it moves around the living room, from under the coffee table.

Its a nice little hole that fits him nicely.

The maggi mee fur under his chin is so hard to manage. Despite how I try to brush them, they are still so curly!


Sesame : Don't listen to Mommy. She knows nothing. I think curly furs are cute. Don't you think so too?

Laundry Basket

Garlic loves close spaces for him to sleep in, like the Laundry Basket and PTU. He likes to make-believe that it is his own little house inside the Spice Cats' House. I was doing laundry as usual last weekend and noticed that Ginger and Sesame were gathered around the over-turned Laundry Basket. I didnt pay much attention to it until I went closer to pick up the Laundry Basket.

Ginger and Sesame. I assumed they were playing around the Laundry Basket, as usual.

Then I found 2 paws sticking out when I went to pick up the Laundry Basket.

Sesame tried to get Garlic to come out a few times. But Garlic seemed to be contented with his new home.

Mommy, can you see me? Isn't my new home nice?

Kitten Alert!

Last Tuesday, I came back from work early and found a kitten sitting in front of my neighbour's house. I have not seen this kitten before and does not know where he comes from. The mother is no where to be seen. He looks quite thin. When I approached him, he did not run away and let me pat him. When I carried him in my arms, he just looked up at me and gave me a soft 'meow'. He looks hungry so I decided to give him some food.

Pepper was the first to greet the kitten, very gently. I am pleasantly surprised.


Followed by Ginger..... The 2 male Spice Cats kept their distance....


Pepper won't let the kitten out of her sight, probably that's the motherly instinct kicking in..... I think its very sweet.


I then picked the kitten up and gave him some food. He refused to eat the cat biscuits! Maybe he is not so hungry afterall! So I gave him some tuna, which he ate happily.

After a good dinner, I introduced the kitten to Winter. Winter was very curious and the kitten was very reserved about the big wolf dog.


They soon warmed up and Winter was delighted. She loves kittens.

Sesame, on the other hand, was not friendly at all. When he saw the kitten, he made a loud hiss and the kitten hissed back. I gave Sesame a stern scolding and a long lecture about how he should NOT hiss at less fortunate cats or kittens, especially if the kitten is smaller than he is.

The kitten then settled down in between my legs.

I reminded myself that I cannot afford to take in anymore cats. Besides I am not sure whether the kitten's mother is still around or whether he belongs to anyone. So I let the kitten back outside. Since I am bringing 2 of the Spice Cats to the vet on Saturday, I planned to take the kitten together for a checkup and vaccine, if he is still around. Probably get him spayed as well if he is old enough.

But the next day when I go to work, the kitten was nowhere to be seen. On Friday, I saw the kitten again, inside my neighbour's house. Mmmm.... probably my neighbour has decided to adopt the kitten (I certainly hope so!). I will keep my eyes open for this little fella in the future.

A letter from Pelud

I received an email from Pelud a few days ago.........

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My mommy came on Mother's Day to Sharlene's house. I was happy to see her but angry that she left me for so long. She brought all my belongings and left me in Sharlene's house for 6 long weeks! So I played hard to get. She wanted to pat me but I moved away under the dinning table. I let Sharlene cuddled me to make my mommy jealous.

But then Sharlene put me in a cat cage. I was frightened. Sesame came to me but I stuck out my paw and jabbed at him. I am sooo sorry Sesame, I didn't mean to hurt you. Then the cage was carried to the car. My heart was pounding and I meowed as loud as I could. Now where are they taking me? I could see Sharlene waving goodbye to me.

Sharlene loves me and took good care of me. She treated me just like the Spice cats. I get to sleep in her room too and I liked the aircon. The Spice cats were friendly to me but I was such a spoilt cat and was not in my best behavior. They shared their food with me but I shared my biscuits with them too. I liked the Whiskers pouch wet food. Garlic was a gentleman and always let me eat first. He never hissed at me. It was my fault because I was the one who hissed at the other Spice cats.

My mommy took me out of the cage cautiously because she was afraid I might scratch her because of my agitated stage. She said soothing words to me and said we were going home. I quietened down. Then the car stopped in front of the house. The place looked familiar. My mommy carried me into the house and put me down. I walked around and realized I had come home.

I have mixed feelings. I miss Sharlene and the Spice cats. When I look out of the door I see different scenery. I have posted a few photos of me sitting and sleeping in various parts of the house. I like to sleep on the computer table when my mommy is there. I hope to see Sharlene and the Spice cats again. Thank you Sharlene and the Spice cats for putting up with me.

I also have attached some of my photos back home.

Bye.

Love,
Pelud

Carpet Cat

Recently the Carpet Cat paid the Spice Cats a visit again. She paid them a visit during CNY Eve (see here). I called her the Carpet Cat because her tabby marking is really very pretty and she looks like a walking carpet.


She is the friendly neighbourhood cat. I am not sure whether she belongs to anyone but I know my neighbours sometimes feed her. I once fed her tuna biscuits and she refused to eat it. This shows that she is very well-fed. She is very slim. I think she has been spayed because I have never seen her pregnant.

The Carpet Cat, when I first spotted her at the door.

The Carpet Cat spotted me and didn't mind having her pictures taken.


A close-up on Carpet Cat, but its still a bit blur through the netting.

Pepper saw the Carpet Cat and came to check her out.

To my surprise, Pepper didn't hiss. They just greeted and smelled each other.

Pepper was kinda sad when her new friend left.

From Above

There is this spot on top of the stairs that Pelud loves to sit. Maybe it gives her a better view of who is coming up the stairs. Maybe she likes the feeling of being above every other cats in the house.






Pelud is going home this weekend. Her mommy is back from Germany. I bet Pelud will be happy to see her mommy after 6 weeks.

Flowers

Last Wednesday, in conjunction with Secretary's Day, a group of very dear friends sent me a bouquet of pink and red roses. No, I do not work as a secretary nor a personal assistant or anything close. Its a long story.

But anyway, the cats have never seen roses before so they are all very curious.

Garlic and Pelud were the first to check the flowers out but they were more interested in the ribbons.

Sesame thinks pink roses are absolutely lovely. And they sure smell nice too!

When I put the roses into a vase, Pelud start munching on the leaves.

Ginger, seeing that Pelud enjoyed the leaves so much, started munching on the leaves too! I have to remove the vase from the floor before the 2 cats start munching all the leaves away!
