11-year-old Mikan-chan has a “stone” in the bladder. It could force her to go into the restroom over and over, sometimes to bleed a little. Veterinarian Dr. O recommends an operation to remove the stone, yet he adds that there is no guarantee to avoid the disease forever …

Mikan-Mochi
StandardAs it gets cooler, Mikan-chan often jumps onto Mei-Shun’s legs. Relaxed, sitting on her own legs, she looks like a piece of mochi =rice cake. This is the reason why she is sometimes called Omochi-chan.
Happiest Time
StandardMikan-chan often calls for Mei-Shun to stay by her food bowl. While eating, she hugs mom by her tail. When asked if it tastes good, she replies “yes” by a swing of it like this.
Relaxed too much
StandardOur penthouse is one of Mikan-chan’s favorite place to take a nap. When she is nowhere around, Mei-Shun goes up there to find her baby sleeping like this. Why don’t you close your legs, mademoiselle?
Lovely Birthday!
StandardSeptember 20 is the birthday of Mei-Shun’s daughter, who is for ever three-year old. Would you … oh, like it? Thanks, my sweet girl. Mom feel happy too.
Can’t Move
StandardPlease find Mikan-chan below. Could you guess where she is? Well, she stays between Mei-Shun’s legs! Why you like such a place?? Let mom turn around, baby.
She Loves It
StandardMei-Shun borrowed fake sarashi and ayabo from Master Mei-Shu for practice. Mikan-chan, a brown-box lover, immediately relaxes on it. Hey, let mom open it, honey.
A real pair of ayabo is red and white-striped stick, with small golden bells put on both ends. The Echigo-Shishi rings ayabos before swinging sarashi.
Oh My Girl …
StandardMikan-chan sometimes forgets her rest-room place. It’s not so often, but when Mei-Shun is too busy, she cannot help ignoring her daughter’s love call. Mikan-chan feels displeased, and … oh, stop it, darling.
Hi, Friend
StandardA stray cat (maybe) girl, who looks like Tora-chan, came to our garden. Her 3-colored coat reminds Mei-Shun of ex-Viola, one of Tora-chan’s kittens. They greet rubbing their noses with each other. A lovely, heart-warming scene (^^),
See You Again
StandardDriving her husband to the nearest station, Mei-Shun found a body of a kitten lying on the road. Feeling so sad, she made a phone call to the municipal office. The staff in charge sounded gentle, telling Mei-Shun that he would take care of her/him immediately. Good for you, kitty.
