Shocking Pink

Standard

Mom, why are you laughing alone? Your fitness pants? Meow, what happened to it?? She drove to 乙戸沼 Park in the morning, walked around the pond looking for lady’s tresses. When she stretched her right leg, tight feeling on the left thigh suddenly disappeared. She saw inner cloth say hello between navy threads. So you found another pink on yourself instead of the ground. Purr …

Her Strategy

Standard

Tora-chan has several safe places to relax on, except for her outdoor bed beside mom-in-law’s living room. It might be one of them, a compressor unit of air-conditioner at next-door the Ys. She seems to choose the best place according to circumstances, not always follow mom-in-law who cannot but welcome her little friend anytime when she rushes into our front door.

Happy Birthday

Standard

It is from me and mom, though daddy Shin is still in the plane to the U. S. right now. That means he sees two birthdays this year, doesn’t it? Mom practices Japanese dance after taking care of me. All right, go ahead. I’ll stay here not to make you panicked at losing me, while to keep quiet.

Meow, are you going to take a nap? Let me join on your futon mat. Purrrr …

Nose Covering

Standard

Purr, it’s cooler today. Mom, sit down on the sofa. She brought my summer bed from upstairs, but my best place is here — on her legs. You put on cotton dress, make it the most comfortable. Maybe due to temperature change, I’ve got my nose running. Not downward but upward a little. Mom always worries about it, asks me if it is all right. Pas de problème, just let me use paw gloves.

Never Read

Standard

This is my intention. Mom shouldn’t have left me alone. She tries to bend down on newspapers even after coming home. No, you cannot, hiss! Brush me, look at me eating and hold me. That’s it, purr. It is cool today, a bit freezing for me. I had to stay in the restroom twice in the morning. Now it’s getting better. Meow, what’s this blue one? Iris, you went out to see them at 乙戸沼 Park.

Edible Flower?

Standard

Would you see what flower it is? It is broccoli, gave us tasty buds all though March, ending in such a lovely shape. Oh, here comes our garden cat. Hi, honey, thanks for your good job. You look staying among flowers at night these days, Shin told Mei-Shun the other day. Does that mean you decided to play the role of Fuku-chan, who sleeps next to Black Tea rose?

Sleepy Spring

Standard

Purr, nap on mom’s blanket (more precisely, between her legs) is one of my favorite. It’s too windy today to hang futon mats outdoors, she murmured in the morning. Do you have any problem? I’m free to slide into or relax on them anytime. Oh, let me introduce my new friend Mammal-kun. He came our home on Sunday after dad and mom left me alone half a day. Sniff-sniff, how do you do?

Rolled Up

Standard

So the end of fiscal 2016 has come. Happy birthday, Professor M. It is Friday, might make business people feel good in the right place. On the other hand, April Fool’s Day looks like a real joke this time: fiscal 2017 starts from a weekend. Oh, Mikan-chan, you neatly sit down with your tail curled around forepaws. Your interest is not in a custom of human beings but in whether mom uses a camera to see you.

Never Rides

Standard

Hi, Tora-chan, would you join Mei-Shun for shopping? It might be crows who broke your treat plate made of rubber, bought for your kittens. It has four spaces to put baby food respectively for Marimba, Viola, Piano and Harp while you always ate them all by yourself. Has your missing them stopped? Mei-Shun remember well the day when we forced you to say good-bye to them at Dr. O’s clinic.

 

Little Lovely

Standard

Narcissus and tulip began to grow in our garden. They seem to appear on the ground all of a sudden, yet we know how hard they prepared. Actually, their bed works as a restroom of Tora-chan in winter — we can see her paw marks cover bare soil. What surprises and move us is that she never scratch spring greens. Oh, good girl, we cannot let you in, so sorry. Today would be the last to have such frostiness.

Narcissus, 水仙
