COT Year Of The Rat

Cats on TuesdayTargetHere's a picture of Target trying to hurry me into bed. As you can see, he's got splendid baby teeth!

The Year of the Rat is coming up starting Wednesday night. It would have been Scoop's favourite year as he was a fantastic rat hunter. His biggest catch ever was a cane rat in Kuching that had a body longer than our dust pan. Hopefully he's watching from a cat heaven filled with furry rats to chase. (Possibly the equivalent of rat hell???)

Au and Target will be enjoying the Chinese New Year as I've bought them chicken for dinner. Neither is keen on crackers and bangers so hopefully the neighbours won't go nuts with the fireworks this year.

Fireworks are banned in Malaysia but somehow we've had huge explosions all the way through last New Year (Dec/Jan) and Christmas and Hari Raya (end of Eid festival) and Deepavali (Hindu festival of lights)!

To kick off the new season we were awarded Blogger of the World by Kitikata whose ginger stripes are so much like Au's, Target's and our old Scoop. I'm not sure what the award is for but Colin who created it says it's used as a meme. So here goes:

blogger of the worldI'm passing this Blogger of the World award along to:
Gattina who keeps all us cats together on Tuesday;
Meeyauw whose wildlife pictures of Vermont are so inspiring;
Sharlene whose very spoilt Spice Cats give me hope whenever I see the state Malaysian stray cats are in!

Please award this to three people who link bloggers around the world. ANd please keep the link on Colin's pic in place.

Gong Xi Fah Cai everyone!

Beautiful Target you have there. I love the marking on its body. I just realized you are a Malaysian too after hopping over from andree's blog.

Well, regarding the strays in Malaysia, I had much concern too. Can you imagine seeing pancaked kittens on the road all the time? There are just too many around to be cared for by cat lovers.

My two cats Jon and Jess are strays too but they had the best of all under my care... so are their 3 one-month old triplets..errr..and the mummy stray cat and her triplets outside my house. Well, that's how my Friskies finishes off so fast :P

Ouch!! Justin just pounced on my feet and gave me a kitty bite. Do drop by my COT post and my triplets' birthday post when you are free. See you around and Gong Xi Fa Cai :)

Hi, I just found a cat that looks alot like Target today, it's a poor lost/abandoned kitty, with hernia! Do check out my posting, and pray for this precious Orange cat who is scheduled to undergo surgery tomorrow.
