Last Day of 2024

 We feel grateful for these few ordinary days of uneventfulness. Our year has been quite a roller coaster health wise and so we wish for gentler days for us in 2025. We hope next year will be good for everyone. 

Thursday morning nap

It was little cooler this morning and so I thought I should take a nap after breakfast. San was reading as well as she has to get ready for school next week. We expect a quiet day. 
 

Our Christmas Wish

 

Help!

Sky:  Last night I decided to sleep at the edge of the couch but I kept slipping off. San was not much help as she kept laughing at me. What a weird person.

san: What a weird cat! 

Amigos Christmas

Momo: What if they jump out of the pot? 

 I usually clean their pots before Christmas but have to put their actual urns in the house. After much thought I decided to put the urns in Manju's room for safekeeping. Momo is an extremely curious kitty and had broken many porcelain and ceramic cats.

Are you still watching ?

Sky is the only one who is still fascinated by cat tee-vee. The mysteries of small birds chirping keeps her occupied for hours. She has since stopped batting at the birds on tee-vee though she sometimes falls asleep to the bird sounds.

New Friendships

I was surprised to see these 2 sitting so closely in the same space.  I hope they are becoming friends as eventhough Sky sometimes plays with Manju, she is excluded from the bff friendship of Manju and Momo. Sky and Momo are both the same age and Manju is way younger than they are. Sky, I notice takes the role of an older sister and Momo goes to her for comfort. But they are not friends. 
 

There’s a bird outside our window!

 I notice increasingly mynahs and crows will sit on the ledge of our windows. I think they know the cats won’t be able to get them. 

The Grooming Saga

His paws are ok and he can now jump and run and of course pranks his sisters as much as he likes. He hurt his toe on his right back leg as he gripped the metal door of the groomer’s hard carrier too tightly and they could not release it without opening the metal door and that is never a good idea with cats when still outside. 

Both the groomer and I could find no reason for his behaviour as he knows them and he had been to these sessions three times already with no problems. So I asked Chris toask him how he was last Friday. His answer shocked us both. ‘momo said after my bath I would have to live somewhere else’. So he decided not to have a bath and not to cooperate at all. Instead he screamed and growled so no one could bathe him. I told Momo not to scare her brother with fake news and conspiracy theories!
 

Manju was so upset that he had a fever on Friday night and he slept through most of Saturday from exhaustion. 

Toil and trouble behind closed doors

 This Sunday the birds were up very early and were flying across the windows. They could not believe their luck that they had real cat teevee  so close to home. On another note I was very glad to see Manju up with his sisters here this morning as he was quite lethargic the day before. He had a very bad experience at the groomers and hurt one of his toes on his back paw. I was monitoring him all of yesterday and made him sleep in his own small room to rest. I hope that he would be better and actually eat his meals today. 

Just Because Manju

San said I am a very handsome little kitty and I have grown much. I seem to be much more relaxed with everything and everyone. Also I have stopped being too bitey and have allowed san to pet me softly and slowly. It has taken me about 2 years to learn this.
