Work companions

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

I was working from home (actually I was on afternoon leave but had to clear some emails) and had the pleasure of some lovely feline company.


Kootoo Monster snuggling up behind the warm laptop.


Muffin Terror in a poignant mood.

It's Kootoo's Gotcha Day!

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

Thanks to Cat Aunty, who reminded me that it is Kootoo's Gotcha Day today!!! It's been three years since he joined us. Of course, Papa Porky will rue the day as the end of fur-free life :P

Kootoo Boy, circa June 2005

Al cheapo

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

Yes. Al cheapo, that's what we are.

We didn't want to shell out a thousand bucks for a wide angle lens, so Papa Porky got us a lens converter (oh the shame!!) that costs a tenth of the price.

And I tried it on the kitties ...

It made Milo appear more sinister with his hooked nose ...

At the camera's widest zoom setting, Muffy looks like he is living in a capsule ...

And it definitely made Kootoo more goondu, or maybe he is born with it :(

Slacker

From the desk of Mama Piggy:


Muffin: Whaddya mean I have been slacking?!


Kootoo: Slacker? Definitely not meeezzzzzz ...
Milo: Me neitherzzzzzz ...

Okay okay, I am the slacker, really. Apologies for the lack of postings. Not much happening lately, although changes are afoot :) That, I shall leave it for another posting.

There is ...

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

... light at the end of the tunnel.



The tunnel may seem long and never ending, or in Milo's case, the tunnel may be somewhat too tight, but eventually, you will get to the end ...

Of felines and flowers

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

My poor chrysanthemum.

Kootoo: Hmmm, it looks edible ...

Muffy: Go on, fat boy, give it a nibble!

Kootoo: It even smells edible!

Kootoo: It IS edible!

Milo: Let me try it ...

Milo: Nom!

Muffy: Lovely lovely flowers ...

Muffy: ATTACK!

Yes, I know that chrysanthemums are toxic to cats, but somehow the cats really love to nibble the leaves. They need roughage, perhaps? We had to keep the flowers away from the kitties by putting the vase in Papa Porky's study.

NO cats were harmed in the photo-taking for this blog entry.

Get Fuzzy

For all brave minions out there, have a good laugh :)

How many cats does it take ...

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

... to assemble an Ikea commode?

Answer: One. To interfere with the process, that is :)

Kootoo: This is my new bed, no?

Kootoo: Ehn, ehn ... stop pushing meeeeee ...

Kootoo: You're doing it wrong, Papa! The screws are crooked ...

Kootoo: Hmmm, just sniffing to make sure that these are not cat treats disguised as screws.

For Calsifer

Reality bites ;)

Lost and found

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

Cookie in her chubby days.

My sister's cat, Cookie, went missing for 16 days. The family combed the carpark, void deck and even the neighbouring HDB blocks after it was discovered that Cookie was missing. But for 16 days, there was no sight of the tabby.

Yesterday afternoon, my mother, who was again doing a spot of gardening at the community garden, spotted Cookie. But Cookie was somewhat afraid of her and ran to hide under a car. My mother had to lure her with some wet food before she could get close enough and catnap Cookie home.

Poor Cookie was somewhat traumatised by the 16-day ordeal. She fell into a deep slumber for a long, long while after she came home, but was twitching a lot and meowing in her sleep. She lost some weight, but is otherwise physically okay.

My mother said she shed some tears over Cookie. Cookie had "adopted" my mother, and the two of them have developed a special kind of bond. Thank goodness they are now reunited.

Feeling the blues?

From the desk of Mama Piggy:


I was away from home last night, staying over at Sentosa for a company event.

Papa Porky woke up this morning to find that Kootoo Monster had shredded a whole box of tissue papers. This hasn't happened for a long, long time.

Was Kootoo feeling stressed that I wasn't home to mollycoddle him?

The Perch

From the desk of Mama Piggy:



Hottest property location in town.



The kitties are fighting to lounge at The Perch.

Making out

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

Feel the love :)

Do Not Disturb ...

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

Snzzzing in progress.

Fixed

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

We're pleased to announce that the Fantastic Four have been "neutralised" and that they seemed none the worse for wear :)


Cappuccino

Latte

Milk Tea



Tiramisu looks miserable in the cage, but she should be fine in no time.

Operation De-mojo

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

The Fantastic Four are going for de-mojoing tomorrow!


Cappuccino, taken on 4 November 2007.

Wasn't it just yesterday that they were kittens??

House of kitties

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

We enjoyed ourselves very much at my mom's place during Chinese New Year "nua-ing" and cosying up to the kitties.

There are officially more four-leggeds than two-leggeds in her household, but we're not complaining ;)

Any brave reader out there who would like to guess the names of the kitties below? Erm, the prize for the most number of correct entries -- a 10-minute face-to-face session with Muffin Terror :P

PS. To my nieces, NO you are not allowed to take part in this.

Aslan

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

It's no secret that I had wanted to name Milo "Aslan" after the lion in the storybook "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe".



Don't you think Milo (it could have been "Aslan"!!!) looks majestic and lion-like?



But Papa Porky chaffed at the suggested name, and opted for a kopitiam hot drink brand. So not befitting, I'd say!

过年了，年过了

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

We hope all readers had a great time celebrating the Lunar New Year with your loved ones :)

Spring-cleaning Sunday

From the desk of Mama Piggy:

So many things to do, so little time!


Muffy: Am comatosed ... Snzzz ...

If only the kitties could help!!
