you are supposed to sit on it, do-dos.


and Bak Bak, that's not how you shower love on teddy...

star performer

this ginger tom is a diva. it's all in a day's work when he finesses a captive audience in the open quadrangle with bunny hops and belly flops. the kids are a little afraid of him at first because he is a big cat. but his innocent effervescence wins them over again and again as they laugh at his and their own youthful playfulness. the adults look on.



quite often, the man and woman have seen this tom curling up to sleep by the feet of couples courting on park benches or peek-a-booing out of bushes at friendly faces. there's no doubt people love him.

we need more cats like this who transcends psychological barriers and elevates himself from mere stray to community resident. he makes people reevaluate their assumptions and that is good for everybody.


on the home front, our own ginger Suede has lifted out of her melancholy. she is still the woman's best lap cat.

love much, one day at a time

juicy fruity antics

the Rosie & Suede show

Rosie Rose: You bitch so much, you drive me nuts.
Suede Slash: I know we are happier this way!

sleep in heavenly peace,

sleep in heavenly peace.






merry christmas, everyone!

last in first out

man picked Tigger up from the nearby kopitiam. she was jumping on people's laps and getting a smacking for it. good for her she found the man's lap and got to join the animal family for a day. we had several potential adopters for a full tigger striped kitty so off she has gone for a home trial today. we hope you like it there!

in the meantime, Blackie, Chaplin and the Paws make themselves even more at home...

we're still here!

thanks peoples for still visiting even though we over at the animal family have been very disorganised lately and can't quite get anything worthwhile done including updating this blog.

everyone's well, including Blackie, the Paws and Chaplin... who are still here! there were a few interested parties but they ended up picking other kitties on the adoption pages over the little rascals.

but life goes on in the animal family, one kindred day at a time.

sometimes a princess, sometimes a foot rest

left to our own devices

new animal family dynamic

Papa moves up the animal family hierarchy.

never walk alone

pack some cats if you can.

new encounters III

Blackie enjoys too much of a good thing


young cats unite

it's time for the man and woman to seriously think about what they are going to do with Macky and Blackie. they are thinking about boarding them somewhere nearby so that there can be regular visiting. possibly, 23 will go with them as a threesome as she has formed a strong attachment to Macky.

Suede will miss her young cat friends. i will miss playtime mostly. Fruity doesn't much care whether they stay or go. but our older counterparts are getting finicky about their personal space. and Bobby has become almost desperate for the man and woman's attention.

so the man and woman toys with the idea of an animal family II, to cater to the growing numbers of unwanted animals as well as the quarantining of strays for sterilisation. this is to keep us from going from family to shelter. we started out as an animal family, we want to keep it that way.

new encounters II

the kittens get several hours of playtime with us everyday now. its nice to have other things to chase around the house besides the bugs (cheshire grin).

we love them. nothing like a couple of kitties to liven things up around here.





Fruity and Leafty rediscovers the utility room and each other.
