Goro's 2nd Birthday



Today we celebrate Goro's 2nd birthday.


Goro is like a big child.
He does not like being left alone. 


Goro plays hard.
In a play-fight, he gets very excited.


...Sometimes too excited.


But I say these with love
because I love him just the way he is, and...



No matter how old they are,
my kids are always my babies :-)

Happy birthday, Goro!

Tale of Tail




I don't know if it is said worldwide, but in Japan, 
I hear that kitties born with hooked tail bring happiness.


Hooked tail... Or kinked? Crooked? Curled? I don't
know the proper word, but it is a tail which is not straight.


You can? Niko?


Oh, it is very neatly folded. Well done, Niko.


You can? Goro?


Oh...it reminds me of a candy swirl. Mmm!

You boys bring me happiness every day :-)

*

Long time ago, when I was still living in Japan,
I had a girl who had a hooked tail.


She was born prematurely and I thought she 
would not make it. But she grew big and beautiful.

She sure brought me a lot of happiness.

Unconditional Love



I'm sure everyone with cat child(ren)
has the same kind of experience. 


Niko, mommy got a bed for you.
Do you want to use it?


Sigh . . .


Niko, I have to throw that away.

*

Goro, mommy got a toy for you.
Do you want to play with it?


Sigh . . .



Goro, I have to throw this away.

*

We give and give and give, even though what 
we get in return most of the time is a cold reaction.

So why can't we stop giving? 

Well... It's because of love, and 
because we get to rub that...


Goro ~, thank you for the reward :-)


Ouch, ouch.

Grooming Time



Goro is grooming Niko.


*

When he does, Goro tends to start biting Niko.
So Niko usually runs away or they end up fighting.


*

Maybe I can take fun wrestling photos
for my blog - hee hee.


Okay, I have my camera set for continuous 
shooting mode. You can start fighting.


Come on, kids.

Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man. 


♪ Bake me a cake as fast as you can. 


♪ Roll it up, roll it . . .  up . . . . .



O...Oh! I'm sorry, Goro.

*

Is Goro a better groomer now?
Or is Niko being patient?

I didn't expect to take cute snuggling photos.
But it's always nice to see them being sweet :-)

Goro's Wish



It was Sunday morning when Goro came to see me.


Of course, Goro!

Niko, we will go shopping.
Do you want to join us?



We will, Niko.

*

Goro, his Dad, and I went to the store.


Goro, have you found what you need?


Later Goro found what he wanted.
We put it in a shopping cart and checked out.


*

So what Goro got at the store is...


We have a bird feeder hanging off the deck.
It has been empty for a while.
Now it is filled, birds will come to have a meal.


I know Goro wants to eat those birds.


Sorry, Goro...
I don't think your wish will come true.

But I will cook chicken for you and Niko :-)
