Sweet Sonny

Thank you so much, Shin. He brought home above yesterday for Mei-Shun, happy mom of Mikan-chan celebrating Mother’s Day. His real mother received the same gift from him of course, while a pot of red carnations from her daughter-in-law and a lovely pink bouquet from her genuine daughter. She looked satisfied whose smile makes all family  members blissful.

Me and Mom

Standard

Purr, she stays with me today. Dad went out early in the morning, took a business trip to Aomori. He would turn to Nagano tomorrow, saying sorry yet it is more convenient to pass us tonight. All right, there is no problem. I am in good health, so are you two. One is involved in exciting jobs outside. Another who saw nice numbers on a scale yesterday enjoys working and eating inside.

Her Highness

Standard

We are in the middle of serial holidays called Golden Week with Constitution Memorial Day. Under clear sky with cool breeze, Shin kindly accompanied Mei-Shun toward her horsey riding club to enjoy a view of his wife dancing with Princess Maria. Another while the prettiest one at home stayed an excellent girl of course, treated to jelly sticks, kiss and trimming.

Meow, today is Showa Day, representing the era dad, mom and their parents were born in. So was Kaori-san who drew above image, featuring mom and me (can you kind followers find us?). I was born in Heisei from 1988 to 2019, perhaps the second youngest in my family. Tora-chan seems to be 5 or 6 years old, the youngest. I’m happy to see everyone healthy, together at home. Purr … purrr …

Tiny Train

Shin and Mei-Shun went to Tokyo by Ms. Scarlet to meet Kaori-san, whose exhibition had been held in Tokyo till weekend. This time she drew for a cat fancier/story writer who serves a gallery on the ground floor of her own house. Well, it is often difficult to find the best car park around such an old residential area — oh, here is one just next to a railroad crossing.

Good Girl

Meow, we are on the 4th, 2022 of my days come once a month. Mom plans to visit a gallery in Tokyo where an exhibition is held featuring our species by her friend Kaori-san tomorrow, meeting dad on the way. Please go ahead, there would be no problem. It is getting warmer to take better care of me. You stay with me all day today, letting both of us feel bliss. Purr … purrr …

Ms. Piano, you and Mikan-chan are always good mentors for Mei-Shun. For example, she has stopped sung with the former one of scores in “Lieder Ohne Worte” composed by Master Mendelssohn for a few years, resumed it yesterday. Awful sounds disappointed her, while reminded of a saying “practice makes perfect”. Yes, she would be happy to follow your treasured advice.

Alone Again

Meow, mom practices 松の緑 at home these days. I feel happier when she stays with me longer, while a bit tired if she gives too much attention. It is to take the best care of yourself that is the most important: your mental/physical health is the same to mine. So please do not hesitate to dance, play Ms. Piano, take a nap in your bedroom or sometimes go out.

Pink Princess

Oh, Mikan-chan, how charming you are! When Mei-Shun tried to bring back a necklace whose top is shaped like a tiny horseshoe into a box, this ribbon attached to it slipped down on fluffy ears. However, she kept peaceful enough to let her human mom make it another accessory. It is for the first time you put on such an item, honey, because dad who gave it to mom worried if you do not feel comfortable.

As Always?

Standard

Meow, I have 2 water bowls these days. Mom found upper red one almost empty when she and dad came back from a one-night trip, immediately ordered the other with a silhouette of my face surrounded by cherry flowers printed on the bottom. It is heavy enough to stay on the floor, helps one of cage doors to open pressed lightly on the wall. ” … to avoid accidents”, mom says.
