New addition to our family


We had a new addition to our family in December last year. She is very cute and sweet. Every time we wake up in the morning, she is crying because she is hungry. I have never heard anyone cry like her. She will not stop until she is fed. And she is always hungry. She eats like 4 times a day at least in the beginning. Luckily she is slowing down now - she eats about three times a day.

Oh, did I mention that she is a little cat? Yes, she is an orphan and appeared at our doorsteps in December last year. We were a little apprehensive about keeping her at first because of Ide (our dog). Ide has been with us since June 2005 and she has become quite possesive of us.

Like all single children, it is funny to see how Ide vies for attention each time we pick up Kitty (that's our kitten's name). But they are both now getting used to each other. At times, Ide still growls at Kitty, especially when she tries to be cheeky and puts her claws on Ide's nose. But on the odd occasions, we have caught both of them 'kissing' each other.

Kitty is growing very fast. She is now about 5 months old and is very playful. She tries to play hide and seek with me each time in the garden. She is also teething and likes to bite anything that is within her reach.

When it comes to dinner time, Ide always tries to eat Kitty's food before eating her own. If Ide is not watching, Kitty will eat Ide's food instead of hers. Oh yes, Ide is very good at eating fish. She can clean a fish out so well that it leaves only the bones. Even the head is clean. On the other hand, Kitty needs the meat of the fish to be removed from the bones before she eats it. Now, I am wondering which is the cat and which is the dog!!!!
