Lucky Cats!

In the past few weeks since DD turned 3 years old, she has been hitting one milestone after another. :) My baby is growing up! OK, this is not exactly a milestone in itself, but after 3 years (ok, only 2 years if you consider the fact that we were away for a year with no cats!), DD has finally plucked up enough courage to touch the cats. Previously, she would not touch the cats with her bare hands and would not even want to sit beside a cat. But since last week, she has been stroking and playing with the cats everyday! Lucky cats! I don't think they have had so much love and attention ever since DS was born 5 years ago.

The Past 2.5 Months - Part 2

We're now proud owners of fish. Yes, fish. Never in my life did I expect to have fish as pets. I call us "accidental fish owners". Well, the story goes that we attended a friend's son's 4th birthday party and as parting gifts, they gave out fish. Yep, fish. We couldn't simply leave the fish to die in the plastic bag, so the next day, we went out to get a fish tank. Well, the kids had a fantastic time picking out the decorations for the fish tank. :)

Unfortunately, due to my poor knowledge on keeping fish, the 4 guppies died 2 days later anyway. But thanks to my lovely Aunty Clarice, we now have 3 red zebras and 3 tetras! She kindly bought us the fishes and even came to set up the tank properly for us! Yay!!! I must say that taking care of the fishes has been great fun and even therapeutic at times. The kids also love feeding them and watching them swim around in their little tank. :) The fishes are now my constant companions as the tank is placed on the study table right in front of me!

Kitty Having A Drink

Those of you who know my cats will know that Kitty is the more mischievous of the two. My aunt Clarice, who is cat-sitting for me, says that Kitty probably behaves in such a tomboy-ish manner because I named her Kitty Hulk, after the aircraft carrier "Kitty Hawk". Aunty Clarice just sent me some pictures of Kitty. In the second picture, she is drinking out of a bowl. There's actually a fish in that bowl (err...maybe soon, there will be no more fish in there!). Hehe.

My Cats

Those of you who know that I have two cats may be wondering where they are while I'm away. The one on the left is Kitty and the pretty one on the right is Sasha. Well, my Aunty Clarice is kindly "babysitting" them in my absence. I heard that they are settling in well and not missing me too much. :P Aunty Clarice has a great way with animals. As DS always says, "Kitty and Sasha are having a party there!" (Aunt Clarice has other pets of her own too). Can't wait to see them again, maybe when we're back briefly in April!
