I'm in love with Henri.

 
 
What??? You started dinner without me??? (Note: she looks like our very own Roxy.)

 
A dog in a bar.

 
For more cuteness, see my post here.
 
 
 

Ok, now, I'm tired.

 
Did you just rob a bank, sweetie?

 
I dare you touch any of this.

 
How do you sing "do-re-mi" in meows?

 
A training buddy

 
Why does the dog always lose?

 
What? …more…

It seems that I have not officially introduced Roxie, who has been with us since last May, although I did talk about her in this post.  After she came home that time, she stayed. On average, I let the kitties outside to play two to three times a week. …more…

A collection of old photos.

This video was from Friday, May 6, 2011. I haven't seen Roxie since that day. I like to think that the mole was Mother's Day present from Roxie.
To Roxie,
Baby, I know you are an outdoor kitty and you are born to explore. Or, maybe because you are such a cute cuddler that someone else has claimed …more…

Little One and Mange wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Little One's Report: Daddy did not come home this weekend…
听妈咪说爹地这个周末去和老朋友攀岩，所以这两个晚上是我们女人的世界，我们真高兴呀。我们其实很喜欢和爹地妈咪一起温馨，可是经常我和他们一起跳上床后 过一会，爹地就会突然坐起来冲着我瞪眼，吓得我一个激灵就 …more…

Normally, I don't re-post. But I just can't resist this one — the men are too cool and the cats are too cute. The post (already a re-post) did not provide the original source of the photos (shame!), so I apologize to the original composer of the collection. …more…

愿更多的人能够加入关爱小动物的队伍里来。愿天下狗狗猫猫有吃有喝有人爱。愿天下有情人/猫/狗终成眷属。
笨嘴拙舌，直接上片吧。

有猫猫爱的日子真幸福呀。


After a full year of being home bound, we decided to take a road trip to Tucson, AZ for the holidays. We'll be gone for a week. Can we all survive? I am already missing them even though we have not left yet! Feeling anxious about the separation, I wrote following post (in Chinese) to the pet forum. …more…

A Harmonious Society （家里的和谐社会） (I)

今天我开门放她们出去玩。两个丫头玩得一身土回来。只好给她们洗了生平第一次澡。不容易呀。Today, I let them out to play. They had lots of fun in the dirt, but a bath was in order when they returned home. It …more…

今天在家，天好。打开纱门留个缝，两个丫头就可以自由出入。小家伙玩的兴起，在土地里打滚，不亦乐乎。两个半天玩下来，自己回家了。我动了念头要给她们洗澡。这可是她们生平第一次呀。本来是想等着猫爸回来请他动手的。主要是我在家一直扮演慈母角色，丫头很亲 …more…

They were just sleeping neck in neck. Don't you let your imagination run wild. 脖脖相扣而已，不要瞎想。

She fell off the tree in our front yard this morning right in front of Erik. In the beginning, he thought it was a big leaf… until he saw four cats — our neighbors' cats — suddenly all showed up out of nowhere. In the center was this tiny little chick. …more…

那天天很热，可是我们一点都不觉得。

哟，被妈妈看见了，肯定要拿我们到坛子上去笑话。

算了算了，午觉也不让猫家睡个安稳。分了吧。

芒果：那我醒了，干点啥呢？

芒果：哟，这好像难度大了点。

芒果：还是走正道吧。

小家伙：可是我还是困呀。

小家伙：妈妈 …more…

I posted this on a pet forum in response to a question whether a cat needs a companion.
以前讲过我收留小家伙的经过。她曾经是街对过邻居的猫之一，后来因为没有及时计划生育的原因，一度和将近十只猫共处。开始看他们同出同进，和谐的很。后来 …more…

We've had Mango for almost two weeks. She is a beautiful red tabby. She was born on May 15, 2008, so, still a kitty. As a matter of fact, she was born to Little One. It didn't look that way when we first got her into our house, because Little One, who had been our resident cat for a month, hissed at her. …more…

小家伙呀，你来家已经一个半星期了。我们的生活就在这一个半星期了发生了很大的变化。多了一份牵挂，多了一点点烦恼，但是更多的是欢乐。
你本来是对门邻居的猫，和你的小姐妹一起长大。本来生活质量挺好的。可是后来你们两个年幼无知平白被占了便宜，一不留神 …more…

Yesterday, I sent Erik a text message in the morning who left for work before I did:
     Me: Little One was playing with one of her toy mice when I left.
     Erik: Holy Cow! Is she all right?
Yep, that pretty sums up our Little One. She is sweet, she is cuddly, but she does not play. …more…

I'm sleep deprived. That is because Little One meowed all night last night, first time we did not confine her to her own room, our bathroom. There is nothing wrong with her. She just wanted someone to play with her. When we went to bathroom in the middle of the night, she would run up to us and start …more…

Her name is Little One, that's the calling she responded to when she first time came into our house sniffing around last weekend. She was our neighbors' cat and grew up with her sister, both about one year old now. I've posted their story before, in Chinese. …more…

前文讲过小奶猫的来历了。不罗嗦了。
星期一长周末出游回来天还亮，心中大喜。鼓足勇气到邻居家问，“我可不可以和小猫们玩儿会儿？”（这岁数一大把，问这样的问题，没有勇气是不行的。）好心热情的邻居欣然同意，并说，“在这儿玩儿，你带回家玩儿，随便你！ …more…

我没猫没狗，所以只能望别人的止渴。常在这里(宠物乐园)偷窥，看久了没贡献觉得惭愧，就拿别人家的猫来讲故事。这次也不例外。最近天灾国难，让大家都很揪心。今天我讲的就是生命的延续。
将近五个月前，我讲过邻家三只土猫–两个小姐妹和一只老黄毛–的故 …more…

[Note: This is a short post I wrote about Ron and Liz's cat, Purr. He is the mellowest cat I've ever met and he is beautiful too. Oh, I love him. I wrote it up and posted on a Pets Forum I visit from time to time.]

这是朋友的猫，名字叫Purr。它是我生平见过的最友好的猫。以前我提过，尽管我非常想养猫，但是不能给猫提供一个稳定的环境，所以不能如愿以偿。正因为此，我就更加珍惜和 …more…

[Note: This is a short post I wrote about our neighbors' cats. I enjoyed feeding them when our neighbors went on a trip. I wrote it up and posted on a Pets Forum I visit from time to time.]
好喜欢猫。但是我和LG都常不招家，周末总是也一走就是两天，所以不忍心养。正因为这样，每当我有机会和别人家的猫相处，就格外珍惜。对门邻居出门几天，让我帮忙喂猫，我好高兴。这三只猫都是散养在户外的。在我们这个被森林溪流包围的小山镇，到处有bobcats，raccoons,甚至mountain …more…
