Niko's 3rd Birthday

On October 25, we celebrated
Niko's 3rd birthday.

He is our baby boy who has
the sweetest voice in the world.

Niko's meow comes out like kitten's mew.

We always say "Niko meows like a toy."

With his lollipop voice and fluffy cuteness,

Niko always lures me into kitchen.

As I prepare his chicken, 

Niko's mew starts to sound more like "now."

He still meows like a toy :-)

Did I say Niko loves chicken?

He is madly in love with chicken...

Ah, love is blind.

After happy tummy, Niko got sleepy.

Happy birthday to our sweet baby boy :-)

Award & Sleepy Goro

We want to say big Thank You to our sweet  friends
from Mom And Me, Kassey, The Furries of Whisppy,
and The Poupounette for this sweet award!

We will enjoy these pretty cupcakes.
Thank you so much for thinking about us!!

Speaking of sweet,
Goro looks extra sweet when he is sleepy.

Sweet sleepy eyes, sweet unarmed paws...

Time to turn off the light.

Sweet dreams :-)

Goro & Niko on Cat Tree

Niko is relaxing in a cat tree.

Then Goro came to join.

Overflowing Goro.

It doesn't bother him.

Niko may be a little bothered...

And so began a war on the blue cat tree.

Then later, a peace came on a brown cat tree...

We wish everyone had a happy Sunday :-)

Goro's 3rd Anniversary

Friday after work...

Let's stop by a store. Get favorite wine and cheese.

I love cheese, especially blue cheese. I enjoy the smell.

I picked up Gorgonzola cheese for this weekend.

Then back home, I opened my eco shopping bag and

realized I picked up something else by mistake.

Do you have such experience? 

I have many...I'm kind of absent-minded.

According to the product description,

this is a kind of cheese called Gorogonzola.

I thought about returning but he refused to leave.

Fine, at least he is supposed to bring fortune. I'll keep him.

Soon I found that Gorogonzola does produce

distinct smell. I'm not sure if I enjoy this smell, though.

He needs lots of boxes for ripening. 

There are empty boxes cluttered all over the place.

He also demands entertainment. 

The cost of keeping his favorite TV show is soaring.

It's getting harder and harder to keep him.

When will he bring fortune to us?

?

What is this, Gorogonzola?

The card? Your product description card?

I didn't think about looking at the back side.
See, that's why people say I'm absent-minded...

Oh, no!

Cheesy joke aside, we feel very fortunate
that Goro came into our life. We celebrated his
3rd Gotcha Day on September 22nd.

He is funny, cheerful, and makes us very happy.
He brings laughter and smile to our home every day.

Yes, he has brought us the real fortune :-)

Unidentified Foreign Object

Oh my, we had several uneasy days!

It was Thursday night prior to last weekend.
Goro was throwing up badly.

Since it was after office hours, we took him to emergency

hospital. There they found a foreign object in his body.

Goro received treatments (iv fluid, antibiotic, etc.) 

Doctor told us not to give him water/food for 12 hours.

Next morning, we visited our regular vet.

They didn't find anything bigger attached to the object.

It should pass and no need for surgical removal! Phew!

So back home, we served meal for Goro.

By this time, he got quite hungry.

Glad there was no vomiting after eating.

That night, Goro brought a present.

It was one of the most beautiful stools I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, I didn't find anything in it.

But Goro seemed to feel much better.

Following morning.

Back to vet as instructed on previous day.

On new X-ray, the foreign object was still there

but had moved. Doctor assured it'll  pass soon. 

So I kept opening Goro's present.

(By myself...even though Goro wanted to join.)

It was this Wednesday, I found something in his stool.

But it looked like just part of feather...is this the object?

There is one way to find out.

X-ray showed Goro's inside was clean and clear!
The foreign object is gone!

We've been careful not to leave harmful items out but...
We need to be more careful.

Please don't scare me like this again, Goro.

Need to be really, really careful.

We wish everyone an easy weekend!!
