Old pictures of Titi

Here are some really old pics of Titi when he was a kitten. He was really cute. In those days (again, 1992-1993), I had no idea that he would get such a fur.
Life is unfair, isn't it ? We still miss him so much ...

Old pictures of Maxou

While looking at old pictures for a kind of scrap booking project, I found old pictures of Maxou. She looks a lot like Chouchou. Wasn't she cute ? Most of these pics were taken in 1992-1993---we were living in a small village near Berne, Switzerland. I had to scan them---sorry if the quality is not great.








This picture here was taken around 1996-1997, while we were living in Shibuya (Tokyo, Japan).


Lots of changes in 15 years, don't you agree ???

Found an old picture of Titi and Maxou

I found by chance an old picture of Titi and Maxou. It was taken maybe 13 or 14 years ago. In those days, they really like each other (things changed over the years, mostly because of Maxou's personality and moods---not always good ones).

I have a box full of pictures taken during Titi and Maxou's earlier years, when we were all living near Berne, but I haven't opened it for ages. At times, it is still difficult to think about Titi and not cry.

The other day, I was listening to an advice column podcast by the Swiss German radio called "Ratgeber". A vet was talking about putting old and sick pets to final sleep. I could not listen it until the end. It made me feel so sad.

The day will come, I hope, when I can think (or write/talk) about Titi without crying.

Some day, I really want to scan all the old pictures I have before they get bad. Yes, there was a time we took pictures with the camera and had to bring the film to a store in order to see the pics...

Anyway, here is the picture I scanned this morning...

Late January pics

Maxou will turn 15 this Spring...

Isn't Chouchou really cute ?
She will be neutered next week-end.

Chouchou half asleep...

Momo found a new favourite place, behind DH's curtain
(it is also a great place to see outside)

Guess who is hiding under the cover ?
(you see the tail in one of the baskets)

Early January pics

Happy New Year !

May 2007 bring you peace, happiness and some money as well...

Here are some more pics of the kittens, taken this morning in my study room (the box was put there to allow them to jump on my shelves' top.

December pics of the kittens

I don't know how long I will be able to talk about "kittens", because they are growing up so fast...

Here is some information I took from an email I sent to A, the lady who found Momo and his sister (she kept the sister):

Momo is growing all the time. He must weight over 4.5 kilo now (all muscle, no fat). Size (including head but excl tail) is about 40 cm. Tail is around 30 cm (pretty long).

Chouchou is really small, compared to him. Difficult to say whether Momo's growth is normal for a cat of his age or whether he will really be a big cat (one of our neighbor has one of these really big cats that are as big as a small dog).

At times, Momo can really very oshaberi (talkative). Like this morning.

He is very genki, spends a lot of time with his best friend Chouchou. They really love each other, play fairly (never hurt each other during play).

The first four pics were taken in early December, the other ones later that month.

Cats are welcoming us (Chouchou in the front, Momo behind her and Maxu hidden in the living room)

A rare moment: Momo and Chouchou sharing the same cover (they usually sleep apart)

Chouchou so cute when asleep (and so energetic when awake)

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 ?
