On the last day of January, Littlemiao for The Miao Chronicles had posted a post on her blog, about February Month of Mail. It sounded like a fun idea! So I let her know I was interested, and so we send each other a card. Easy, right?

I’ve been thinking about it lately, wondering when it would arrive. And look what I got today!

Thank you so much, Littlemiao! Because those cute photo’s of Chun & Sprocket made my day.
I’ll hang the photo’s and the card up. Suki and Hiro were also very curious what was inside the envelope, haha. I let them sniff it, but they were about to nibble on the edge of the cards. I don’t want to ruin the cards! Because I really value things like this.

P.s: Sorry for the horrible quality of my scanner.

But our mom decided that it was time for the Furry Diary again. So, let’s see what happened this week.

Mommy is busy preparing for her internship, so she had no classes anymore. So she was home a lot, which ended up in lots of play time!

Earlier this week, mom found us laying on the bed. Me and Suki. Not that is a very rare moment, because that never happens. Suki doesn’t like cuddling with me. But this, this is a miracle.

I also found a new spot to sleep in. The laundry basket.

The snow is gone, which mom thinks is very sad. She loved the snow, and liked to make pictures of it.

We have a box of noodles. And Suki decided one day she would guard the box of noodles. Everyday, she laid on the box of noodles. Making sure no one could steal it. Even I wasn’t allowed to sit on it. We don’t have a picture of her guarding the box filled with noodles.

A while ago, mommy made some really nice pictures of me. I’m not sure if she posted them before, but she says I look really handsome in it!

I hope everyone had a nice week!

- Hiro.

You don’t have to do much for it, beside blowing bubbles. Like you might have done when you were a kid. Your cat will be doing all the exercise!

A simple bubble wand.

What you need
- A half cup of liquid soap
- Five cups of distilled water or bottle water
- Two tablespoons of glycerin (or fine sugar)
- Bubble wand

Mix the soap carefully with the water and glycerin in a bowl. Don’t shake it too much, because that will cause too much foam. Put the bubble wand in the water for a moment. Get it out, and blow (gently) in the hole of the bubble wand to create bubbles. Now watch your cat going crazy!

If you don’t have a bubble wand, you can make one yourself with iron wire. Just bend it in a round shape, and leave enough iron wire left to hold onto.

Warning
Even though it’s a great game for cats who are older and don’t feel like moving a lot anymore. Make sure your cats don’t lick up the soap. It’s not good for us humans, so it definitely is not good for your cat either.

I found this article on lovemeow.com, and it’s about a friendship between two totally different animals.

Interspecies Love Between Cat and Monkey

A cat has found himself a little unusual friend, a monkey who is so protective of his feline friend that they are constantly together wherever they go. It doesn’t matter what species you are, love transcends all boundaries.

You can see more photo’s in the article on lovemeow.com

How cute is this? I’ve read a lot of stories about unusual friendship between dogs and deers, or cats and bunnies or with birds. But you have to admit, a cat and a monkey?

Happy Valentines day everyone!

Have a happy Monday everyone!

P.s: Does anyone happen to know a site where I can buy sweaters for cats? A webshop that also happens to ship to Europe? I can’t seem find to dutch websites. Any suggestions would be great!

Usyaka
Usyaka is an Oriental black cat. Gorgeous, and really photogenic. The photo’s are stunning, beautiful, mysterious and something you don’t want to miss! And you should totally check it out.

The Maio Chronicles
I’ve been visiting the Miaolings blog more lately, than I did before. In this blog you follow the life of the miaolings (cats), through photos. I must warn you, once you take a look, you will keep coming back! Sprocket and Chun are great models, with barrets, hats, bowties and lots of floofs! Oh, and dust bunnies of course!

HereThereBeSpiders
Humor. That’s the first word that pops into my head when I think about this blog. Spiders blogs about her own life and nonsense. Good nonsense! And recipes, which I still need to try out! I just like her humor, and her view on things!

Besides that, there are some Siamese cats who have a kinked tail and who have yet another legend. They’re considered auspicious in the Far East, and legend has it that an ancestor of this breed voluntarily kinked it’s tail to offer a safe place for the princess’ rings while she was bathing. She used to slide her rings along the cat’s tail, and there was no danger of them being lost, as the kinked tail prevented them from falling.

Have a happy Monday everyone!
