Cat Story

Hammie now has two new friends, Brownie and Baby. Given to me by R as he is moving. I wonder if it is his way to make me remember him more. They are supposed to be friends, anyway, although even after 3 days together all they do is hiss and scream at one another. You see, Hammie has always been by himself, cat-wise that is. The only other contact to another living thing he has is with me. And the goldfish, if you can count that in. he doesn't even know how to meow properly. He just produced this pathetic 'e..eek' sound instead of a meow. Yes, he is a handsome boy, all white and fluffy, with blue eyes. Now the other two had come to invade his home, the lithe, proud Brownie, who is worldly and streetwise (well, she got pregnant at 6 months old), with brown hair and white socks on all four feet, and Baby, who is Brownie's month old baby. Don't even know whether that one is a boy or a girl. All I know is that it has a funny colour - dirty is what comes to mind to describe her. Almost black, with patches of orange and brown. So unlike the pretty mother. Father must be really ugly. That's what R said, and mean to boot. So Brownie likes bad boys. And Hammie is I guess just a dainty fella trying to act naughty. Imagine the scene - Hammie tries to claim his territory only to run like mad when Brownie hisses. He is even scared of little Baby. And baby will just bulldoze at anything, and will bite anything she comes across, and walks bow-legged in a way only kittens can. So cute. I am going to have an interesting time parenting them. One good thing though, Hammie meowed for the first time today. Ah... the joy of parenting.

omiGod. what a pleasant surprise!
a white kitty with blue eyes. at last, i finally get to see the kitty i've heard so much about all these while. very handsome, indeed.

and for Brownie's month-old baby, if it has more than 2 colors, then it's a girl. as easy as that.

hey, you can't imagine how relief i am to be reading something so lively from these pages of yours.

just keep that chin up, bro!
