Goro's 11th Anniversary

I'm a little late posting, but on Sep 22,

 we celebrated Goro's 11th Gotcha Day!

He was a teeny tiny kitten.

Became a big brother when

we welcomed Niko home.

And has grown into

a super gorgeous mancat!

He brings joy and smile every day.

We are so lucky to have him :-)

Happy Gotcha Day, sunshine!

One more thing. Last week, we received

this FANTASTIC gift from Ellen

and her kitties from 15 And Meowing!

Goro & Niko were all over them.

So much fun :-)

Thank you, Ellen, for your wonderful gift!

You are so sweet and thoughtful!

We wish you all a beautiful week!

Gift from Japan

Look what we got! N-Chan, our friend from

Japan, kindly sent us this fantastic package!

Let's try this cat comb.

It's not a toy, Goro ~ :-)

Niko enjoyed the comb very much.

And he really loved this blanket.

Now it's Niko's favorite kneading dough :-)

I enjoyed yummy cookies!

Sorry, Goro, but cookies are mine :-)

Thank you, N-Chan, for your wonderful gifts!

How is everyone doing? We hope
you all stay safe and have a fun weekend!

A Shining Star

Hawaii is one of my favorite places.

I love the beautiful ocean...

Yummy food

Laid-back atmosphere

But the best part is LOCATION!

Hawaii is right at the halfway point between

Japan and mainland U.S.

Last year, I got to visit Hawaii twice. Met up

with my Japanese family in spring, then

my friend N-Chan from Tokyo in summer.

N-Chan and I share the love for fur kids.

While in Hawaii, we talked passionately about

our fur kids and how wonderful they are.

Earlier this week. After long happy years,

her beloved boy Vitz left this world.

My heart breaks for N-Chan and her husband.

Photo borrowed from her Instagram page

In the dark night on the island of Hawaii, we

looked up and admired the sky filled with stars.

Vitz, the new star, is now shining among them.

Sky over busy Tokyo won't show all these stars.

But I'm sure that N-Chan will find Vitz - because

he will shine the brightest for his parents.

Lovely Gifts

It's our 1st post of 2017.

Happy New Year!

We finally get to use this beautiful 2017

calendar created by our friend Miyako-san

from Orchid's Daily Voice!

Love her sweet design! Thank you,

Miyako-san, for this very special gift!

We also wanna thank Mr. Clooney, Neytiri, &

their Mom from Clooney's Num-Num Fund.

Look what we got!

Loving the Matryoshka Doll. There is a kitty

in a kitty in a kitty in a kitty :-)

Goro, no!

Goro loved dolls little too much :-)

Sorry we haven't been visiting you much
lately. Crazy busy at work! Things are
getting back to normal, though...I think :-)

We wish you all a happy New Year!

Present from Japan

My birthday is in April.

We got these fantastic birthday gifts

from N-Chan, my friend in Japan!

Yes, she never forgets you, Goro! Wanna

play with this Matatabi ball?

*Matatabi = Silvervine

Um, Goro. That's a container for the toy...

Niko enjoyed the toy properly :-)

Thank you, N-Chan, for your wonderful gifts!

We all enjoyed all of them
(yep, including box and containers!)

By the way, N-Chan has a sweet,

adorable woofie boy. Here are some pictures

from their trips to fur-friendly resorts.

Taking hot spring bath

 Dinner made for woofie guest. Lucky boy!

Enjoying relaxing time  

Happy Sunday, everyone!!

Lucky Cats

We wanna say big Thank You to Maggie

from Sundays at the Shelter for sending us

this super cute Lucky Cat stickers!

Lucky Cats (Maneki Neko) are believed

to bring good luck with their beckoning paws.

Look at these adorable beckoning cats.
We already feel very lucky!

Meanwhile in the kitchen...

Goro's curious paw was checking out

a ball of meat :-)

I baked chicken scotch egg for

Goro & Niko.

Ingredient: Chicken, boiled egg, coconut oil

Looks like they both liked it :-)

Goro & happy tummy

Niko & happy face

Beckoning (?) paw

I played around and made an image
with Maggie's Lucky Cat.

Thank you, Maggie.
We love your Lucky Cats!
