Sits Alone

Standard

After taking a dental check from 16:00, Mei-Shun went shopping today. It gets dark earlier these days — and a bit cold. Mikan-chan immediately responds to this change. Occupying Lemon for a nap in daytime, she watches mom to jump on her legs in a second. Sorry, darling. Your dad comes home soon …

Mikan-chan really loves this year’s birthday gift. Her other favorite places include: sunny hall toward the roof floor, wooden window frames, mom’s futon mat or blanket, folded bath towels just after laundry, etc. Ohhhh, your smile makes mom feel like joining you, honey.

Come in.

Come in.

I'd love to.

Surprise Gift

Thank you so much, Professor S. She kindly sent Mei-Shun a delicacy of handmade again. Truly amazing is her technique and sense of beauty to employ such cute rose-shaped crystal beads. And this jade rose represents her warm regards. That must be why it just fits on the little cup behind Mei-Shun’s collarbone.

Here is Omochi-chan again. Mikan-chan found this stool the best place this morning. Yes, it’s cool, honey. Tasty season has come. Chestnut, sweet potato, pumpkin, pear, grape and green orange … Oh, mom has to make a reservation to see Dr. M, her home dentist!

I'm steamy.

Tora-chan is a little eater. Mom-in-law feed her twice a day, yet two third of it would be left over. That is why another cats come to our garden at night. It causes fights between Tora-chan and such interlopers. A vicious circle it seems, while the worst might be that she prefers treats Mei-Shun give her.

Purrr ...

Chase the Sun

Standard

She made it. Our futon mats were hung in the balcony to dry. Only for a few hours, yet it satisfied Mei-Shun after rainy days of a week and more. In the afternoon, dark clouds came up to bring a shower for a while. The weather forecast says it will rain hard tomorrow. Well, it’s good for our plants. Oh, you prefer refreshed blanket, Mikan-chan.

ZZZZZ ...

ZZZZZ …

Air-conditioner Free

Autumn brings a happiness to Mei-Shun. As she sits on the sofa, Mikan-chan immediately comes onto her lap. Still in August, we have been enjoying cool weather from yesterday. It seems a bit too soon, yet it would be hot and humid again in a few days. Let’s make a good preparation in mind and body, baby.

Lovely Friend

Tora-chan sometimes “takes a trip”, ranging from a few days to a week. We have no right to stop her, just have only to wait. Before her latest missing, we heard an angry voice at night. Any interloper might come into her territory including our garden. You live a severe, free and wild life, honey. We are always ready to feed you, yet cannot let you enter. So sorry. Oh, your sweet attitudes would spoil us …

Her Techniques

Some pet cats punches out room items to make their places, yet Mikan-chan has never done it from her kitten-hood. She has a fine dexterity to move between small pieces, keeping their positions at window-side, on the piano, desk, etc. Oh, sorry for that messy nature around Shin’s futon mat.
