Goro's 4th Anniversary





This is sushi, Goro.


No, no, you don't wanna eat it. 
It's got wasabi.

Today, September 22nd, is Goro's 4th Gotcha Day.


We got sashimi for Goro's special day dinner.
And made sushi for humans with leftover fish.

(My understanding is that raw fish should not be
a regular diet but is okay as occasional treat)

Now let's have sashimi!


Do you like it, Niko?


Goro. How about you?




Looks like he likes it, too :-)

Four years ago, we got sunshine in our home.
He is bright, funny, and playful.


Happy Gotcha Day, our sunshine Goro!

  11. Dearest Tamago,
    Sorry, I'm too late catching up on my blog reading... We got home from Miami yesterday after 8 days being on vacation in Florida. Meeting our friends and having a good time. I did take a nap on the balcony in the sunshine today.
    Congratulations on Goro's 4th Gotcha Day! You mention Sunshine. That is another story of our friends in Lakeland, FL. We had dinner together on Friday and they told us that their sweet Sunshine no longer was with them. She died in July, on her 12th Birthday. She had come into the office where my friend works from home if not traveling to Brazil. There she sat, staring at my friend in a way she never had done before. My friend was thinking what do you want from me; what is this about. She continued with her work and only later found her Sunshine laying dead near her cat bed. She had not gone outdoors for two weeks and they thought, oh she is getting older and its too hot outside. Our felines must sense that their time is ending and Sunshine certainly came to say goodbye to her human Mom.
    Hugs to you,
    Mariette

  28. Happy Gotcha Day, Goro. And remember wild cats in the jungle or wilderness eat raw meat all the time. It just needs to be really fresh.

    You are so cute. Enjoy!!

  35. WOW!! Sashimi?? I have never even been OFFERED this fantastic fishie delicacy! The Human has offered me cooked fish (meh, not interesting) . . . . but RAW! Now that might be worth trying.

    Happy Gotcha Day, Goro!

    P.S. You should let poor Niko finish with his fudz before you steals them.
