End of November pics of the kittens

I am not sure about the pics quality, since I took them with my mobile phone...

Early November pictures of the kittens

Some more pictures taken earlier in November.
The printer always interested Titi and both kittens seem to enjoy it too...


Momo and Chouchou fight fair play, but also like each other very much...

Isn't that cuuuuute...

October pictures of the kittens

Both kittens are now about 6 months old. Momo is bigger and also heavier than Chouchou. October weight: Momo 3,5 kg, Chouchou 2,5 kg.

Some of our kittens favorite activities:

Sleep...



Fight with it other in a fair play way...


Finger suckling...


Cat's life is really nice, don't you think ?

Momo and Chouchou

Momo and Chouchou are usually full of energy and run around, fight with more or less fair play, jump here and there (the higher the better).

But, once in a while, they get really quiet ...

Sad anniversaries

Yesterday, September 10, was the first anniversary of Titi's death. We did not think too much about it and therefore did not cry. Or we did not want to cry and therefore did not think too much about it.

We moved on, somehow, but still think about him and cry sometimes.

A couple of months ago, I learned about kittens that had been abandonned at birth and saved by T. Around that time, I dreamed of Titi. It was a happy dream and I took it as a sign to adopt another cat. And before Chouchou was strong enough to be with us, we heard of another abandonned cat, Momo.

This is how our family grew up unexpectadly ...

Sept 10 is also the anniversary of Sh's cousin's death.

Sept 11 is another sad anniversary for the world ...

kittens relaxing in the living room

Both kittens are nicely relaxing in the living room on a Sunday evening. Don't we sometimes wish we were kittens ?

Chouchou loves water

We don't really understand why, but it seems that Chouchou just loves water and can't get enough of it ...

Kittens are growing up

Some more pictures of the kittens

Momo and Chouchou are growing everyday, getting stronger, jumper higher, flighting/playing more and more. It is getting difficult to take pictures of them, unless they are quiet or sleeping.

I will post some pictures I took from my keitai (mobile phone). That is, when I can figure out again how to do it (last time I uploaded pictures from the keitai was long time ago and I forgot)...

we got the kittens

We got the kittens !

We picked up Momo (white and shades of gray) and one week later, Chouchou joined our household. We had a little surprise with Chouchou: it is a female (we had been told she would be a "he"). And she had a worm problem. But now, things are much better !
The big red cat is Maxou, our 14 years old grandma, who is looking at the kitten from far and just shaking her head. Her mantra "this too shall pass, this too shall pass" ...

We are getting baby kittens

In June, we will welcome ChouChou and (temporary named) Gamma.

Here are some pictures of Gamma and his sister (Gamma is the kitten with a bigger spot on the face; his sister is the other white cat with spots). Somebody else will adopt the sister.










And here is a picture of the other cat we are going to adopt, ChouChou:



Both kittens are survivors: Chouchou was abandonned with his siblings at about one day (!) of age, somewhere in a box. Unfortunately, the siblings did not make it. He is now about three weeks old. We have to wait until the end of June to get him.

Gamma and his sisters were abandonned in a garbage bag (!) at about 3-4 weeks of age. One sister did not make it. The other sister will be adopted by sombody else (we had decided to adopt Chouchou before we knew about Gamma).

We still have Maxou, 14 years old female, also known as "the princess of the house" (uchi no ohime sama in Japanese). So three cats are kind of a maximum.

Neutered male cats seem easier to deal with than females (that's a least my experience with Titi and other males I had in the past). There were some issues between Maxou and Titi: maybe because Titi was the first to come to my place (we call that sempai in Japanese), even though it was just a matter of 2-3 weeks, 14 years ago; or because he was a male. Maxou sometimes tried to rebell and was not alwasys very nice with Titi. She changed a lot since he died. We hope that some hidden mother insticts will come out and that she will feel like a mother to the new kittens. And since she will definitely be their sempai and still the princess of the house, it should be ok. We will make sure that she always feels like being first.
