Felix

 After a rain pour in May 2006, we went out for a stroll - and found a kitten in front of the apartment building. It wasn't wet at all so we assumed that someone had just dumped it here some minutes ago. Not unusual in Japan.


Before the visit to the vet.


The vet had cleaned it up a bit. She said he would be around 3 months. 



He needed a lot of rest.


My wife wanted to tell her parents the size of Felix. That was VERY difficult, he was wriggling all the time. Finally, with the help of my foot, we found out.



He was very active and, fortunately, had no problems with locating the toilet - apart from the first time when he tried to pee behind the curtain.











He is 19 meanwhile, more pictures will follow.

We are the cats

   We live near an art museum in Sakura (Chiba, Japan). Until a few years ago, life was humming here. We were 11 cats. But most of our friends died from car accidents and diseases.

I am especially fond of my daily ciao churu.         By the way, I am the boss here.     You can see me here with my food delivery agent.  I am 8 years, my name is Mickey.

We get breakfast at 10 a.m. and evening meal at 5 p.m. And there is a belly rubbing service coming at lunch time. Some people said I got fat. Don't believe that. I just have heavy bones.     Preparation for the belly-rub.   I am very active, some d...

Little Lisa is a blind kitten (beware: difficult-to-look-at photos)

Image
  Lisa, 3 months old (October 2018) Lisa's mother   Lisa is born in July 2018, together with 4 other sisters/brothers. The mother was hiding them immediately after the birth and I didn't see them for about 6 weeks. It was very hot this year and I already thought they were dead. But after the staggering heat was over, mama cat brought out her new kids. It was clearly visible that this time there were lots of troubles, only one of them was fully healthy and all of the others had eye problems - especially Lisa. The photos below show how she looked end of August/beginning of September. I quickly found out that she was fully blind. And therefore never had enough food to eat. I started feeding her with food and water. When I visited the place to feed the other cats there, she always came to get her meal and I also realized that she liked to be caressed. I grew fond of her and last week I decided that it was time to act. I brought her to the vet for a several-days stay and a make-ove...
