Lily, Nico, Hiro and Momo

I guess everyone now knows that I have two cats, Lily the silent, nonchalant and fat cat, and Nico, the all-time paranoid cat who yields for freedom and food.

Unfortunately, Nico was lost during an attempt to bring her to the vet for come checkup (and possibly spaying her right there in case she’s fit for it). She ran out of the car right after I opened the door, and I’ve never saw her since. So in case you’re walking around the Jusco Equine area (near Ming Chu restaurant), and if you saw her, do let me know! I miss her so much :(

Lily then was left alone with no one to play with. Lily isn’t exactly a playful cat, but with Nico around, they will at least play together. There are also countless times where either one of them are trapped in a room, and the other will meow to us asking us to free their counterpart.

So in an attempt to get Lily a friend, I went to PAWS (located in Subang). PAWS is an animal shelter and adoption center, and they will spay and vaccinate the animals so they are fit to be adopted. So far I’ve only saw cats and dogs in PAWS. I’m not sure if they have any other animals in there. There are kittens too, but usually they won’t let you adopt the kitten until they’re about 6 months of age. Here’s the direction map to PAWS in case you’re interested to pay a visit.

So back from PAWS, I got an orange (ginger?) tomcat which is named “Hiro”:

Hiro sleeping by the stool. There’s a bin for them to sleep in, complete with mats and soft toys, but somehow they still insist of sleeping on the floor. I wonder why.

Hiro is a more of an attention-seeking tomcat. He will always come to me and asking to be stroked, pat and cuddled. He seemed to have some paranoia of being hit. This is quite apparent, as most of the time when I raised my hand to pat him, he’ll go into the “prepare to get hit” kind of setup (eyes closed, ears pulled back, head lowered). I wonder if he’s been hit so badly before he was sheltered in PAWS. Poor cat.

About a week back, when I was in Cyberia visiting some friends, I saw this very adorable juvenile kitten running around, so I picked him up, and he seemed to be used to human beings (unlike the typical stray cats who shy or run away from people, thinking we’re going to hit them). So thanks to his extreme adorable-ness, I took him home, and named him “Momo”.

That’s Momo doing his signature “Firefox” sleeping pose (I’m sorry I’m a geek :p). There’s even a firemomo graphics to celebrate this!

So right now I have three cats (2 adults and 1 juvenile). Thanks to Momo though, all the three cats are playing with each other, as Momo is extremely active. One cute thing about him is that he don’t really meow like a normal cat. More of like young puppy or a bird.

There they are, having breakfast together:

Whenever I wanted to prepare their food, this will happen:

Yeah, meowing for their food. They seemed to be triggered by the sound of the cat food in the container. At times when I really can’t find them (trust me, they’re really good at hiding. There’s once where I thought I’ve lost Nico, but apparently she was hiding in the speaker hole on the car door!), I’ll just shake the food container and they will sprung out one by one.

I hope Nico will come back (or be found) one day. I miss her.
