On the 18th of February last year, we lost Marika. A lot has happened since. Do I still miss Marika? You bet. We have some photos of her around the house, our favourite photos. Going up the stairs every day, I get to see her cheeky face. Some photos are of a tired Marika. An old Marika. And thinking of that old cat, I still love her. Isn t life strange? How sometimes we move on and forget, and…
An adoption was made by a very energetic kitten. From the shelter: Livy, along with her brother Moxy, were found dumped. Their behaviour told us they had once had a loving home but were then discarded like trash Don t worry Livy, we ll do our absolute stinking best to take care of you and love you!
It s been 4 months since I lost Marika. It still hurts, but in a different way. I have come to terms with what I needed to accept. I have the memories. This Sunday, we are going to visit an adoption event for cats. See if any cat wants to adopt us. I m not forgetting Marika, she ll always be a part of my life. But I also move on. I understand that the cat that will be my next furry friend, will…
On the 17th of February, we had to let Marika sleep, and dream of chasing lasers on the rainbow bridge. Now, almost a month on, looking back, I have no regrets, but so, so, so much to tell her. Recalling the events of the 17th of February It was a Monday morning, my wife yelling that something was wrong. It was bloody 7.15! What could possibly be wrong? A lot, it turned out that a lot was wrong.…
After being our beloved little troublemaker, we were sadly forced to let Marika sleep in. She went in peace, due to the wonderful people at Karori vet, reducing her pain. She was herself until the very last minute. We found her this morning without functional back legs, and took her to the vet immediately. The vet explained she had a blood clot, and told us that there is a minute, tiny, minuscule…
Since April or so, my human often brings another human home. I didn t understand at first why, but I guess he likes this other human enough to let her share the space? This human is warm! I mean, really warm. And cuddly! Every time she comes in, I just have to sit on her lap. She s not always that happy about it though. Complaining about her clothes being damaged or unable to reach her drink. But…
As you can see on the photo, Tessie has become quite big since she was "helped". Also, she s constantly hungry and tries to eat all day! Luckily, bosslady does her best to keep it under control, but obviously, that s not always working out that well :) . Dodge is doing fine! She s so funny in the way she lets bosslady know she wants something; she ll ask for attention by putting her two paws on…
So, I tried my first steps outside. But it s wet outside! I don t like wet! And besides wet, there s another cat outside. I don t like her! She constantly tries to attack me. I just run back inside where it s safe. And I have a warm blanket to sleep in. I like my little safe fort of awesome. Sometimes though, I run out of food and I need Sphere to give me more. He s so lazy! He s never around when…
I went outside this weekend! It was so freaking awesome! Until I got scared and hid in the foundation of my servants building. I felt safe there. I did not want to get away from under the building. But Sphere says it is not safe because there might be an earthquake. What s an earthquake? Sphere kept a close eye on me. At least, that s what he told me. I didn t even know. I got home safe and went…
Suddenly, it appears. And just as sudden as it appears, it s gone. The red dot... It must die, it is the most evil thing I have ever seen in this house. The red dot must die. I am fiercely fighting it. But it seems Simon only enjoys the red dot. Again, the red dot must die. Chasing the red dot It seems, the red dot is controlled by humans. It might be a conspiracy....
