furry friends

Remember this mummy cat and her kitties? Read here.

Mummy Calico with the 3 first-borns. Later we got to know 2 of them are females and one is a male.The kittens are all grown ups now. Perhaps, if compared to us humans, they are now in their late teens or early 20's. They are still playful and very manja okay. 

Mummy Calico has given birth one more time. To three more little kittens, and I have no doubt as to which cat the father is :D The resemblance is almost 99%.

The male then-kitten was very frail as first. When it was first weaned-off (sort off) from Calico, he looked lost and very kesian. My heart cringed at seeing him walked unsteadily, a little dirty and with sad sad eyes. Now, he's the biggest of them all. Who would've believed a stray cat like him can be so gemok and bulat?

The other two females have already given birth and have kittens of their own tho I haven't seen them anywhere near our house. Judging from the teats, I believe the kittens are still alive he he. They come and go. Most probably we are not the only human beings that feed them. Yup, we feed them routinely and we even have resorted from giving leftovers to buying cat food for the cats. And we now know they do not like the salmon-variety and sometimes get bored of dried food and has to be fed with leftover. Which at times we intentionally keep aside for the cats he he. And they also enjoy sips of milk every now and then.

We are smitten. Yes indeed!

When we (we = me and Kakak) bought the cat food for the first time, Tebby was not in 100% agreement but he gave in to us girls (as Kakak puts it - girls' power). Smallest one he said. So we picked the smallest pack.The girls' power went on, from small to full-sized packs. From first to our second to third and fourth. And guess what, now Tebby fusses over when the food supply is almost gone. I remember the other day he opened the fridge and took out the milk carton, during day light on fasting day! Then I heard him talking to the cat he he.

There's this one particular cat that is our unofficial house-pet. She runs and greets us when we get back, with tail high-up, long manja non-stop meowing, then golek-golek kat kaki sambil mata merenung with those big soulful eyes *sigh* Lately she begs us to let her in. Keeps on meow-ing in the usual long manja tone until we give in and let her in.We usually let the kids play with her for half and hour or so then gently shoo her out.And almost every morning, when the front door is opened, she'd be there waiting and greets us with her long manja meow-ing. 

This girl really gets us wrapped around her little paws!
