Meow, mom finally returned to normal. I feel good when she is good, bad when she is the same. That is why a macaron-shaped bed was made into a restroom. Last week was the worst: she fed me in the morning, cleaned up my cage and went to sleep with a door closed to shut me out. Similar lunch, supper, dinner and said goodnight. However, it’s all over. Please brush me more, purr.

Meow, my day once in a month has come. Compared to last, it is much cooler especially in early morning and evening when my bed works well. Mom kindly stopped using air conditioner, keeping almost all windows open during daytime. A round moon appeared again in the sky after dark, Ms. Piano sang “Clair de Lune” composed by Master Debussy.

Meow, today is my 18th birthday. And Respect-for-the-Aged Day this year, as the 3rd Monday from 2003 when I was born. Well, “aged” sound a bit weird to me who never get it, while count 88 years old exchanged into a human lady. That might mean mom’s habit of saying animals including my species are wiser than hers, purr. I’ll keep taking care of you, always have, always will.

Shin and Mei-Shun feel happy these days to see Mikan-chan sleep in her shining silver coat. She began to look a bit shaky in right rear leg several months before, made above couple scared of the day which they wish never comes. However, thanks to energy jelly sticks, she is all different right now — her eyes stopped sobbing, muscle grew up, etc. And oh, she quickly leaves a dining table when her mom returns from another room.
But me, meow. Lunar August called 八朔=hassaku starts from today with 白露=hakuro, the 3rd of autumnal 二十四節気 as well. Mom visited the nearest shrine again to greet Gods, make a wish and draw omikuji lots. 末吉=sue-kichi and 吉=kichi, lucky this time, purr. Even the former has good contents, while the latter to be kept folded for dad to read when he comes home.

Mei-Shun quite likes to walk in the rain. Or precisely, she loves umbrellas. Thunderstorm is dangerous, while quiet rainfall nice in two ways; no crowd, a chance to exhibit her collection. Hi, lovely whites, it is great to see you open. Sorry for her excessive care leading to your rare appearance outdoors. Please stay here to dry, chatting with colleagues.
Meow, really an amazing change of air. A new month starts, hotness has all gone. Still, humidity seemed to stay in the bedroom of dad and mom. She put a dome-shape bed in mine, worrying a bit if I make it a restroom. That was because it is too fluffy to use at summer night, while welcome when it becomes much cooler like this early morning. Thanks for your warm regards, mom.

Ms. Piano, thank you so much for always soothing Mei-Shun’s mind. You really are one of precious three featured herein. Mikan-chan, kabuki dance and you are her family of course, stay beside her even if she is closed indoors by recent thunderstorm, heat wave and evil disease. She resumed practice of “Golliwog’s Cake Walk” composed by Master Debussy for Shin who loves this score.
Mom, you are allowed to cut tips of my rear paws. On the other hand, front ones should be kept as they like: never try or hear my hiss. I can help them to peel if necessary, so please stop worrying: they hardly hurt my pads to bleed but grow getting rid of them. Oh, you find a shell on the sofa which I often relax on. It reminds you of a flower stem recently finished blooming, doesn’t it?

Thank you so much, Professor M. He is one of the best photographers Mei-Shun knows, especially good at that beauty in the sky. We are expecting her in full on Sunday, 22nd when Mikan-chan meows twice. And the same to you, Ms. Last One and Princess Maria. Southern wind blows calmer, let us feel cooler after 16 : 00 outdoors. Oh, look up at another there just started to shine.
