The new lodger..

Another catty post.. I swear, readers of my blog will either be turned into cat-lovers or be so put off by all my feline stories that they never return again, haha...


This little cutie appeared in my garden just recently, apparently, it was born in my house but was taken away by its mother and i dont know how it ended up here all by itself.. It sure has come a long long way tho, cos in the beginning, it was very afraid and wary of people and fled or hissed every time someone tried to go near it.. In fact, i was the one who managed to get it to start trusting people.. *proud* :) I spent quite a lot of time squatting outside and enticing it with cat food ok... Now, instead of being afraid of people, it tries to get everyone who comes to my house to play with it instead..


Realise how i typed 'it' instead of he or she the way i usually do when i talk abt animals?? Thats cos we made a huge huge blunder regarding the sex of this baby, all along we had been calling it 'girl' and 'she/her' but turns out, its actually a boy! This fact we only found out about much later when we noticed some bumps at its rear, haha.. Anyway, according to this website, its hard to be sure until a kitten is a few months old, whether its male or female, so its not my fault k.. :)

Hello, my name is "Pig"

What is worse was that this little kitty didn't even have a name until a few days ago, before that we kept calling it oui or girl or cat, haha.. we're pretty bad at naming pets anyway.. I got the brainwave about the name all of a sudden when i was feeding it, since its always yelling for us to feed him whenever he sees us open the door, no matter how many meals its eaten, i ended up asking it whether it was actually a pig, and the name just stuck and we ended up calling it 'pig pig' or just 'pig'.. which i think is rather cute.. He better not grow up to be one of those domineering giant male cats, otherwise i'm sure he'll be mighty embarrassed when we keep calling him 'pig'..

Just look at its tummy!



He's been up to plenty of mischief since the short time he's been with us, eg. trying to catch the fish in the fish tank and almost falling in while doing it or messing up the shoes of my mum's students so that they always have to search for their shoes before they can go home after classes.. He really seems to love shoes and pant legs and feet cos he cant help playing with these thing whenever he has the chance, and another of his favourite pastimes is also untying shoelaces, hahhaha..

So far, he's only been whacked by my mum with the cane once, due to jumping onto the dining table, but most of the time he's just been mainly cute.. So just hopefully, he'll stay with us until he grows up lah, since his mum doesnt seem to want him anymore also.. but if he continues eating the way he does, i think we'll need a fortune to raise him >.<...
