Cool place to hang out ...

... is on top of the fridge.

Here I can supervise the two pigs as they potter about the house ...


Stalk them ...


Make sure they fill my food bowl and water dish ...


Or simply laze around and while the hours away ...

La dolce vita ...

The purrfect Sarge

Here's an update on Little Hope, who was adopted by Mama's sister in January ... she's grown twice as big!



In case you're wondering why she is called Sergeant Hope (Sarge), take a look at her stripes :)



And I hear that she purrs non-stop, almost as if she is battery-powered!

The Incredible Sulk

She and the Porky have been feeding some longkang cats in the neighbourhood, it seems.

Shall sit in a corner and sulk ...

Staring incident

Home Mews, Feline Times, 23 January 2006

Report by Kitty Rulez, Petty Crime Correspondent

A staring incident between Papa Porky and Kootoo, the resident Monstah at Hougang Hills 09519, resulted in bloodshed and loss of superficial skin yesterday.



Papa Porky was severely mauled by du Monstah, who very nearly punctured Papa Porky's veins on his left wrist, and left a lovely 4 cm scar.

For his act of terror, du Monstah was put in a kitty restraint.



Cat quote of the day:
What is the appeal about cats?" he said kindly. "I've always wanted to know." "They don't care if you like them. They haven't the slightest notion of gratitude, and they never pretend. They take what you have to offer, and away they go.

Wet wet wet ...

Rats ... Mama Piggy gets new clothes for the Chinese New Year, but I get a bath for a softer, shinier and sweet-smelling coat and a clean arse ... It doesn't help that I have been leaving some lovely toffee-coloured poo stains on my behind. It's kinda tough trying to reach the arsehole with my short tongue, you know ...

When a cat chooses to be friendly, it's a big deal, because a cat is picky.

Two shick pigs ...

Poor Mama Piggy. She came down with a viral flu and lost her voice.

Poor Papa Porky. He came down with gastric and indigestion problems.

I hope they get well soon.

I still need them to feed me, change my litter and rub my chin.

Cat quote of the day:
Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.

Two cats are better than one ...

What more need I say? Brother Penguin sayangs Little Hope with such tender loving care ...

I think Mama Piggy is seriously thinking of getting another kitty for Hougang Hills 09519! Will she or will she not??? :)

Two cats can live as cheaply as one, and their owner has twice as much fun.

Hope

This is Hope, a new addition to the kitty collection at Mama's sister's place. She was picked up from the Hougang Ave 8 vicinity. Isn't she a darling? Can't imagine how the month-old kitty could have survived the pouring rain today without a mummy by her side!



And I can't imagine Penguin getting all upset and jealous over little Hope - for two whole days! But they are pals now, I heard Penguin even helps to groom the little one.

I wish I could have a playmate too ...

Coming of age

Rats ... I will be turning one come 27 January ...

Which means I am an adult, and that I can't prance around like a mad kitten anymore! It sucks ...

Cats do care. For example they know instinctively what time we have to be at work in the morning and they wake us up twenty minutes before the alarm goes off.

All I want for Christmas ...

... is my very own Gecko ...



Seeing my futile attempts at coaxing the uncooperative domestic lizards down from their lofty lodge, Papa Porky got me a yummylicious Gecko that is stuffed with catnip! I lurrrve Papa Porky!!


Wake me up in time for the New Year celebrations ... Snzzz ...

Cat quote of the day:

Cats are a tonic, they are a laugh, they are a cuddle, they are at least pretty just about all of the time and beautiful some of the time.
- Roger Caras

Get fresh!

Ahhhh, I lurrrrve the smell and delicate feel of fresh bedsheets ... They are great to roll in!


Erm, Mama Piggy, would very much appreciate it if you could, in future, include my ears in the photos... but I digress ...


I also lurrrrve freshly lined litter boxes ...


... and newly mopped floor (never mind that I look like I have the head of a kitten and the body of a buffalo) ...

Penguin

This is Penguin, my predecessor at Hougang Hills 09519.

Mama Piggy picked him up from SPCA in January, he was only two-and-a-half months old then.

But he was too bitey for Papa Porky's liking, and the last straw was when he nibbled on Papa's nipple (mwahahahaha).

So Penguin was packed off to Mama's sister's place and is living happily ever after ...

But what a cat - all dressed up in a tux and nowhere to go! Snigger ...

Cat quote of the day:

Dogs come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you later.

Mind your business!

What is this?! Can't a cat do his business in absolute peace and privacy?

Buzz off, I say ... or else the pong will kill you!!

Cat quote of the day:

A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.
- Ernest Hemingway

Itsy Bitey Cat

This evening, Senor Achiwawa (Papa Porky's good friend who has three cats [!!] at home) paid me a visit. I was as good as an angel, until Senor Achiwawa started playing rough with me. But he is a good sport, he didn't flinch when I sank my teeth into his limbs. Looks like my three feline comrades at Marine Parade have trained Senor Achiwawa well, I am proud of them!


I shall practise biting Papa Porky more often so that he will be as tough as Senor Achiwawa, whaddya think?
