Pedicure for Princess Momo

 I went to the vet this afternoon with Manju. It was not so bad. The vet technicians gave me treats so I told san we should go there next month for my pedicure. San said the next time I go for grooming she would send me to the vet first to clip my nails. Oh-oh!

Monday Grooming

 San brought me to the vet this afternoon to clip my nails. I allowed them to do it without much fuss but I didn’t like the vet messing with my mouth. San wanted to see why I was drooling so much ever since I stayed here. The vet found some broken teeth with gum tissue around them making my mouth sore. So she made  an appointment for me to do some dental in early March. The vet said the dental was not critical to my safety but it was a little painful even so.   I am not looking forward to that. 

Sunday Gardening

 San had removed the sharp-leaved bromeliad from here as she was afraid I would hurt my mouth after she saw me trying to munch the leaves. So we have have a fern here in case I feel like munching on something.  Also now I got my box back where I can sit to watch videos. Woohoo!!!

Just Because Momochi

Sitting with san at night and telling her not to call me grumpy face.

Wednesday Snooze with Skywalker

 I decided to help san today as she was on wfh. I was on zoom and san had to introduce me to all in the meeting. That was the most exciting part as the rest of the time she was just sitting and talking to the black box thing. So I had a nap which was the best thing today I feel. 

Whatcha doin MM…

san took away my spider plant and bought me some strange tasting herb called Gotu Kola or Indian pennywort. It seems it is ok for animals and people. But I much prefer the Rabbit Foot fern up here. San was not pleased of course as I might break the pot and hurt myself. She shooed me down several times. I don’t know why I should get down at all since I am a cat and I climb quite gracefully. 

Easy Peasy Sunday

 This morning I heard a strange call outside of my house. San said it was just a bird but I wanted to see for myself. 

Our Own Garden

MM: San decided to give us our own garden. She looked hard for plants that are not toxic to cats. Out cupboard is a little bare but she said better this than nothing at all. I spent many days biting the spider plant leaves. San left me alone and I was happy.

MM: Our garden. From top shelf - fern, hoya kroniana and spider plant. The one on the stool is a lady palm. The mother plant belonged to my grandma. san took the small offshoots and planted them it grew this much in one year as san only did this in 2023 and my grandma went to the bridge 3 years ago.
 

Just Because Momo

M: It rained today and we were a little cold. The weather is weird as yesterday it was very hot. I sat with san for some warmth and brushing. You think that as a long-haired kitty I would be warmer but san had my fur trimmed 2 months ago. It’s growing slowly. 
 

Just Because Skywalker

 I was feeling much better yesterday and decided to sleep on the couch next to san. san also gave me duckie back again. I suspect she wants to put tiger in the wash as she said he was black with saliva. I do not see what the problem is as he is my tiger and he sleeps with me. I don’t understand san’s obsession with washing. 

Sunday Funday

S: It’s not fun san. It’s too hot even to play with duckie and tiger. Can we have the ac?

m: No  later perhaps  just rest a bit away from the sunpuddle?

S: Okie san  

 

Just Because Manju

 

No san. I am just the right size. I am only 9 months and some days. I am still growing into my skin. Yes some more food please. 

Friday Gratitude Post

MM: I am grateful that I have more than enough to eat and my sisters love me. I can sit here when the kitchen door is open so I can see what's going on. It is also fun to see san looking for me all over the house as she sometimes forgets that this is my new favourite place. 

 

All this rain!

 I was a little nervous this morning as suddenly there were loud sounds outside. When I was little..r, I was outside and had to find somewhere to hide because of the loud sounds and rain. San said thunder and rain were all outside and I was inside so I would be safe. The important thing was to stay warm and perhaps have a nice nap. I told san, “OK san. I trust you’re telling me the truf…’ 

It’s the weather …

 It rained all of yesterday and sky spent the majority of the time  curled up in bed. I gave Bujang’s heating pad away when he passed and so had nothing warm for her. I found  a little fleece rug for her but she preferred resting on just the bedsheet. I was a little worried as she looked so small without her thick fur. The first few days in January had been a little cold because of the rain though. However the hot season will follow quite soon and she would not be so cold. The hot weather in Singapore will also be  humid. A bad situation for cats with long hair. 

Mizu Manju on Sunday

In those rare moments when he is not bitey, flying around the house, eating plants and looking for food…
 

Shenanigan Kitty

MM: The reason I sit here is I trick san into thinking I’m going to eat the plants. It’s a fun shenanigan. But the truth is so I can watch teevee. Hahahaha
 

Friday Gratitude post

We, Just3Cats thought that we would put up two pictures that gave san a lot of hope that we would get better living with each other abd joy just in those moments. 

MM: I decided to sit with san for a minute or two yesterday. That was the first time I made the decision to do something like that. It wasn’t so bad. She didn’t try to clean my face so I thought I would try that again. I did it again this morning. And again it was not too bad. 

S: I thought I should show Momo that I was able to sit with her without having to beat her into playing. I did that and she stayed in her perch. Success!

M: When Sky was still, I was not too afraid. SAN said that Sky was just trying to play with me and that Sky had been very patient and friendly. I am still wary though as Sky is so much bigger than me.

 

Let’s play a game san!

One of these things is not like the others  One of these things doesn’t belong. Can you tell which thing is not like the others by the time I finish this song?  

Let’s play Sky!

Manju is always trying to get Sky to play but she frequently ignores him. It's because he is still in the ‘bitey’ stage. But he is always hopeful. 

MM: Let’s play Sky...err...big sister …errr…Ms BOSS. 

S: Go away little kitten or else …

Really san? Now?

 Mizu Manju (MM) was feeling very lazy as this morning the house woke up in the very early hours of the morning. He was not used to it and wanted to sleep some more. He had an eventful night because I decided perhaps Momo can sleep with us but it didn’t go so well. He spent a large part of that time comforting Momo while Sky sulked under the cupboard. It’s back to the drawing board for Just3Cats and me. 

Thoughts on 1 January 2024

 This morning I looked out the window to see the new day. It did not seem different from the ‘yesterday’ day. I wondered what the fuss was all about. Then I heard the birdsong and heard san and my sisters going about their business. I thought the special thing today was not outside my house but it was inside. Of cos I am just 8 coming to 9. I told san the lesson was ‘Live today wisely ( read eat and play)’ and be kind to your sisters and especially san. I am also pleased to be the first one in this blog to greet 1st January 2024. ‘Hello 2024. Don’t get up to no good shenanigans!’
