Humans are funny.

 

Playful Sunday

San bought us a tunnel to play in. But we didn’t run into the tunnel much. We preferred to jump over it. It’s so much more fun. 
 

Momo of cos didn’t like the tunnel much as she didn’t like the idea of not being able to see the end of it. She prefers to play by herself. She loves plastic so san folded her a toy from it. She made a lot of noise. We thought she was trying to tell us that she was a clever kitty and wanted us to admire her skills. 

We had a very good week of playing and running in the house. 

Harness Training

Slow and steady. Manju had first rolled about the floor and refused to get up. After a minute or two he realised that he could walk with it and so he did. Today is his first day. I thought if he could master the harness, he could walk outside easily during the evenings with me. I hope he would persevere. 

 

Arghhhhh Sunday

 Okie san. I’ve given you the photo that you needed. But NO more talk. It’s time for breakfast. 

Curiosity and the cat

I was too curious about the spiky plant on San’s high shelf and decided to take a closer look. Unfortunately, tragedy struck—it crashed to the floor. San and Sky rushed out of the room to see what had happened. I tried to hide, but it was too late.

To my surprise, San simply placed me in the study and cleaned up the mess. As a result, breakfast was delayed by an hour. I didn’t mind, though. She didn’t punish me; she only told me to mind my own business.

Sky, on the other hand, wasn’t as forgiving—she gave me a smack on the head. I know she didn’t mean to hurt me. It was just a warning to be more careful next time

 

Sunday movie

Momo sometimes needs a lot of cuddling but I don’t mind. She is my sister. 

 

SUPER TREATS!

 San wondered where Momo first learned how to steal errr…developed the skill of ‘treat’ing herself. Last night she heard loud sounds of plastic being crushed and battered about in the bedroom. At first she thought nothing of it but was curious when I went into the room as well. San came into the room and told Momo to stop what she was doing and took the packet from her greedy jaws. Because there were already holes in the packet ( from Momo’s hard work) some treats fell onto the floor. As a result Momo and I had extra treats. Hurrah! But now san put the treats into a bottle and placed it in a high shelf. I wonder what Momo would do next!  

Stranger things

                   MM: What’s that sound san?

It was only a few minutes after 5 when we heard strange noises outside. San said they were crows, but we couldn’t see them because it was still dark. I started to feel afraid as the sounds continued loudly, even though our windows were closed. San told me the birds were outside, but I stayed close to her—just in case!

Sunday at home

 The week has been rather tuff. But thankfully none of us threw up hairballs. San was grateful she didn’t wake up to strange mounds of hair. We spent all Saturday helping san to do chores - changed the bed, scrubbed the bins, washed the bathroom and kitchen and put some old clothes aside for recycling. It took us 3 hours instead of the one hour that san usually takes. So today will be spent on light grading and watching the world go by. We hear san is making plans to have us (momo and me) to go to the groomers as the days are getting hotter. Hmmm..what to do? What to do? 

Sunday Interrogation

San: Which of you guys threw up a hairball?

M: Not me san. Usually my fur would just fly off like clouds. 

MM: Not me san. I just sleep here but I vomit outside, near your plants. I sometimes eat them eventhough you said not to. 

San: I will need to talk to you about that! No kore spider plants for you. Did you throw up a hairball Sky?

S: Errr… can you check to see who did it san? Where is the proof? Eh? Is there CCTV?

San: Well, errrt…btw it’s time for breakfast  

 

Easy Sunday at home.

These few days the rains came to scare me and there was some thunder. I don’t believe san when she said I would be ok although my two sisters seemed calm. I prefer the afternoons when the sun came out. I told san that it’s is better to be safe than sorry. 

Sunday Thanks

 

It rained today.  The wind outside was a little scary and Manju hid in his room. Inside, our house was warm as san only used the table lamp.  So it stayed warm and calm. San said there was no need to hurry.  She made some tea and watched some tv. Everything felt quiet and easy. We sat on warm rugs but Momo decided to sit on the coffee table. It was harder but closer to san’s breakfast. We are enjoying our Sunday. 

Sunday Gratitude

Sundays move slowly in our house. We think san tries to slow down everything deliberately. She said perhaps Monday won’t come so quickly then. We don’t think it works that way but we let san think so. We were very tired at the groomers last Monday and slept most of  Tuesday. . The good thing is Manju found out that rainy days are best spent in bed. It rained most of Thursday and he sat quietly in the bathroom. We hope he remembers this and the next time it rains, he will know what to do.  

Sunday Thanks

 The only thing I can think of today was I tried to hide in the storeroom as I knew that the rain would come. San didn’t allow me inside as she said there were many dangerous things in it. True to my instincts, rain fell some minutes after. I was so afraid that I didn’t finish my breakfast and tried to hide. I was under the chair until the rain stopped. I was lucky to be alive. San gave me some kibble when I came out and went to  the kitchen after that. Maybe I should hide under the chair again. Hmmm…

We say thanks

We had a quiet week. We are always grateful for that - quiet and uneventful. One of our friends became blind in her old age and her mama took her to the vet. We are also grateful that she found a good home as she had high blood pressure and kidney problems. That would not be a good life if she remained a commcat. Life is unpredictable. That is why we are always grateful for everything we have. 

Friday at home

 This morning I sat with asan for breakfast. She was on wfh so we sat quietly together waiting for the sun to rise. I asked san if we could see that but she said we can only see the day getting lighter. For sunrise we have to go to a different part of the city. But I was getting comfortable so I told san maybe another time. Then we sat some more and watched some tv. 

Super Sunday

 

Ducky and I sat together today reflecting on how much we have grown together. I am thankful that I am now living here with san in Singapore. I am even grateful for Momo who keeps butting me in the face  and Manju who keeps trying to  show off. It’s routine and it’s ok. 

We are 60 years today

Well not us really, and san is older  than that. Singapore it seems is 60 years today. San says today we celebrate being boring and predictable. It seems that is the way to go to live a good life. But we told san that we could live it up a little - eat more treats , have more than one breakfast and many dinners , sleep late. You know, do normal stuff! 

Thursday at home

I asked Sky if I could share the couch with her. I tried to make myself very small but she just STARED at me. Then she said ‘NOOOOOO!’

 

Just Because Momo

 

Remembering Bujang

 FB reminded us of this picture of our BOSS cat Bujang who is now at the bridge. Bujang took Sky under his wing and taught her how to be a house cat and 2nd BOSS. Sometimes Sky brings Tiger about the house meowing looking for Bujang (our animal com told us). She used to take care of him as well when he got really sick. They bonded really quickly. She now has become quite chill like her mentor. 

A gathering of kitties

San said a gathering was the best description for this photo. Please excuse the untidiness inside our room. San was trying to clear up yet more ‘stuff’ and we were fearful that it was going to be  our stuff. So we waited outside to catch her at it. 
 

A story about a family of chickens, a rooster and some cats.

This morning we heard the rooster calling again. I was under the rug trying to play hide and seek with san and then I heard him. He was very loud. Later when san was downstairs she finally saw the family. I hope they will always be well as san had seen a dead pigeon once. A vehicle had hit it and left it on the road. San told us about the pigeon and warned us to never run out of the house as it was dangerous. 

 

Sunday all in a flutter

Our Sundays with san are always slow and quiet. But we had a great flutter earlier  as a little sparrow flew into the house. We quickly met it at the door but it flew out again  San said perhaps it was shocked to meet all of us so suddenly. Maybe we should send out invitations. 

Saturday Quiet

I hung out with san on the new couch. Momo came to sit with us but she got fed up as there was no place for two cats.  So she napped on the coffee table. I was glad she didn’t try to nap on me. That’s why san calls her Crazy Momo. She is built like a cat but behaves like a bulldozer. 

Hello from us to you

All of us say hello again. San said she did not post because she had to go for camp and also exam season is here again. But I thought I should still say hello. 

Easy Peasy Sunday

 Just give more minutes san. 

My birthday …maybe

 San asked me how old I was yesterday. So we counted the months and I am two years old. San said …and some months.. as I was once a commcat. So we decided to celebrate my birthday and I showed san a pose. She said she would give me a treat. Actually she counted the months and my birthday was in May. But no matter. A treat is a treat. 

Saturday with san

I listened to soft music with san. I now can sit here without anxiety. It was nice just to be quiet and waiting for the rain. San said it might rain as the sky darkened suddenly.  

 

Yay! New sheets.

I like sitting on newly washed sheets as they do not have the scent of 2 girl cats. San wants me to try to sleep in the room as I am afraid  of rain and thunder and she thinks it would be too hard for me to sleep outside by myself. I told san that I would be ok but of course that is not true. I am a boy cat and I think I need to be brave. But for tonight at least the bed would smell a little of me. 

 

26. Last Sunday of vacation

 

MM: My sister Momo  is such a show-off. She thinks she is an acrobat  

My sister Sky is the cautious one. She said her brother Bujang taught her to be slow and steady when she was younger. San told us that this red chair used to belong to Bujang as well as he liked everything red despite being colour-blind. 

I, on the other hand,  really loved our new couch. It was smaller and easier to sit on. More importantly, it allowed us more room to run around the house. My sisters were both not used to the new couch so san asked them to use the red chair to sit on. But I am a boy and I am not afraid of anything …well only of rain and thunder perhaps. I sat here so san could take a good picture for the last Sunday of her school vacation post before she has to be back at work tomorrow. 

25 Muharram

Welcome to the new Hijra year and with it good blessings and better health , and greater peace on earth  

 

24. Just hanging out

 I am just hanging out with san.  We’re both watching some interviews given by Squid Game actors. Sam said it was  fascinating  to see a Korean series, directed by a Korean director and  spoken in Korean  to be so popular with the world. Of course san doesn’t  speak Korean and I speak cat, but we were much entertained by the interviews. 

23. Monday Meditations

 This is the last week of San’s break. Actually Wednesday will be the day she has to go back to work for a short period of time. I comforted her this morning and we sat together quietly as we will not have these quiet chats together next week. She would be at work and I would be napping at home. But we both look forward to the weekends .

22 Life is good.

 But a nap is even better. Happy Sunday ❤️

20 Shenanigans!

 

I asked san why the white cat, my supposed brother, was so silly. Does he think no one sees him?  

Chores

 Today I helped san with some chores especially changing our curtains. San finally decided to send the grubby ones to be laundered. I told san that would be the best solution for all. I sat here and then supervised her carefully. Our new curtains were really our old but freshly laundered ones with flowers on them. You can see it in my picture. It made the house more airy  as well. San then gave me treats as I was a good supervisor as I just sat on the job and left her to do all the work. 

18 Afternoon Meeting

We

We were supposed to have a meeting but Sky was  too busy napping after lunch. Tsk!

 

17. Another surprise

San was very surprised when I took a nap next to her last night. I had never done this before. But I was too sleepy and comfortable as my sisters were also sitting near me. But it was only a short nap as I had other things to do. 
 

16. All ready for Monday

After my breakfast I usually sit here with  san while she decides on her own breakfast. We also listen to some reiki music to prepare ourselves for the day. This morning I heard the rooster. He was very noisy.  But I enjoy hearing him as it means he is still safe outside. 

These are my stuffed toys all ready and neatly lined up. Later they would  be all over the living room. San usually lines them up before she goes to work. Nowadays I prefer Donkey as he took care of me when I was Outside. 

 

15. What’s that?

This morning I spent a lot of time just watching cat tv. Then I saw a beetle. It was the beetle from last night. It came through our window and then disappeared. We waited for it until it was bedtime  San got all of us into the room as she didn’t want us to run after it . Unfortunately san rescued it and released it Outside  Hrumohhff to you san! 
 

14 Just Because Us

 We told san we wanted to hear the morning bird sounds. We didn’t hear the rooster though. Hmmm….

13. Finally Friday…

 Today is the 2nd Friday of san’s  school break. We are glad for this quiet time together this morning. 

12. A Quiet Morning with san

 I had a quiet morning with san as my sisters were napping under the couch. I sat here as it was much cooler than at the doorway of the main gate.

Then I heard some noises outside. It was some kind of trolley with wheels I had seen them many times before. I sat near the door as I was curious. San said I was safe inside the house so I sat for some time. But it did not appear. I saw a sunbird on my grandma’s jasmine tree though. It sang quite loudly for such a small bird. I was glad about that. 

11 Pet Memorial Day

 

10. Our TUESDAY post

 I reminded san that yesterday was Monday and NOT Tuesday which is today. And to make it better I decided to show her that I was not  grumpy all the time. I am a cat of many disguises. 

9. Let me tell you something

Have a blessed Tuesday.
