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.
Sleepy …
In the middle of summer, we often find a fluffy Sphinx relaxing on the floor. Only different from the one in Egypt is that she continues to swing her tail listening to songs of cicadas. When they fly nearby, this creature disappears to rush toward the window.
It’s cooool.

Mikan-chan knows well the best place to take a nap. Her current favorite is a narrow space in oshiire (=Japanese-style closet) of our bedroom. Here is the way she sometimes notifies mom where she stays. And please find coins which Shin generously left in the pocket.
Hi, mom.
Laundered to shine?
Mikan-chan’s favorite pieces include Nocturne Op. 9. No. 2 by Chopin, Pavane pour une Infante Défunte by Ravel, Clair de Lune by Debussy, etc. When finger exercises are finished, she comes back to the living room. Here is her expression of satisfaction at mom’s performance.
Well done.
Tora-chan was waiting for Mei-Shun at the porch this morning. She gently meowed asking a treat. Oh, your leg has recovered from the injury. You lost a little weight, didn’t you? All right, eat as much as you like. Purrrrr …
Accidents could occur, sometimes without any reason. Today’s Mikan-chan is so peaceful on a cushion. Hi, Omochi-chan, how do you feel? Or did you know why yesterday? Even your bites might be caused by anything. Well, well.
Our roof garden now has 5 mini-tomatoes. A little green mantis lives there. When we water them, he jumps out of the pod, run into another one. He is too quick to take a photo — hey, friend, why don’t you stay on the fruit? It would give us more charming shots.
Amazing. How many grapefruit seeds did Mei-Shun plant? They took 2 weeks more to come out than the first one. Oh, you are twins. Would you like more space? And you are too close to your eldest sister — do we have to remove such little, cute ones?
Shin started to cultivate vegetables on our roof floor. Tomatoes and cucumbers have bloomed in one month, yet corns look a bit sick. They grow too fast to keep themselves healthy? We hope the phosphate fertilizer would work well — hey, pretty guardian, please let mom take their photo.
