Sad departure

Yesterday was the memorial day of my darling cat Hagi.

After she's gone, she has sent lovely kittens to look after our family.

And I heard the news that Tama the famous cat station master

died on monday.

She must be sad to leave her human family but very happy to see her

mom and sisters in Kitty heaven.

Tama, you are infinite light.

My little Ninja Cat

I have been reading Erin Hunter's

Warriors series which gave me

this inspiration what my cat might be

doing when she goes out during the night.

Kimono cat

To become a Kimono beauty,

you need to have a certain figure.

Pettit, narrow & slant shoulder,

no bumps & curves yet not so skinny.

These days, even Japanese girls

rarely have this kind of figure.

Cats might be the only creature fit

into this description.

Waiting for the sunshine

It's winter here.

And our land is covered with

a long rainy cloud.

Neighbour's beautiful lawn has

turned into a paddle.

Our cats seemed to got tired of

staying at home all day long and

they decided to go out.

I'm sure they'll be coming back like

kids after swimming lessons. 

Making me smile

Which is your favorite?

I'm a bit thrilled.

A year on and new beginnings

This is the last healthy image of our Cathedral.

Christchurch was hit by massive earthquake in September 2010.

And have been suffering waves of continuous aftershocks.

City was recovering from Boxing Day aftershock and 

no one was expecting what to come on 22nd of February.

We lost many lives, buildings and other things. Yet we found our inner strength, kindness and

true beauty of ourselves. People we loved and things we cherished are keep on living inside us.

And we will live to make them proud.

We love Christchurch OXOX

Visitor

Big guy comes around to our house.

I can't pat him so captured him in my picture.

Snow dome

We had a big winter blast from Antarctica last week.

One of our cats loved it but the other one didn't.

So I captured her inside the snow dome keeping her warm

during her snow expedition.
