Cats on Tuesday : Doppy and her black dots


It's Doppy time!

Doppy's my in-laws' cat.
Doppy's a girl cat i named to rhyme with Poppy and Bobby the terrier dog (also my in-laws)
But of course, my mom in law doesn't call her Doppy.
I mean, which sane person would call her cat Doppy?
Only a nutcase like me would (big grin), just for the sake of rhyming.
I have nothing better to do.

Interestingly enough, my in-laws always have pet dogs.
Ever since i came into their lives, they now own a cat for the first time.
Mummy meow spreads her cat love everywhere!
Doppy was a stray, abandoned by her mom cat at a very young age.
She mewed pitifully outside the house until my mom in law decided to bring her in.
Into their home, into their hearts.
Of course, for daddy meow, he's always suspicious about how the cat just conveniently appear out of no where.
As usual, he suspects that i planted it outside the house, knowing very well animal lovers like his parents would eventually adopt the cat.

Daddy meow, i tell you, Doppy fell from the sky. Courtesy of the buddha goddess.
Just like how MeowMeow fell from the sky into my garden.
I did not plant her in front of your parents' house ok.
(chesire cat grin)

ANYWAY, here's an interesting fact to share about Doppy.
Something that makes her quite unique.

Well, to illustrate, first we have to compare with MeowMeow's paw.
That's MeowMeow's foot.
Nice foot with pinkish pads (tapak kaki) that has no fur.
All cats have that, right?

Now, this is Doppy's paw.Notice the black spot instead of pink on one her paw's pads.

Now, we count for each itsy bitsy paw :

First leg : ONE black dot! Satu! Un! Ein!


Second leg : TWO black dots! Dua! Deux! Zwei!


Third leg : THREE black dots! Tiga! Trois! Drei!


And fourth leg : FOUR black spots! Empat! Quatre! Vier!

Interesting, isn't it? I don't know if other cats have this but Poppy and MeowMeow don't, for sure. Then again, I don't flip every cat i see and start checking their paws.....who does that?

1, 2, 3, 4.

And that's your Sesame Street numbers for today!

Say hello to the marshmallow mosh pit of white pristine chest.

Doppy looks so cute! Au has pink paw pads and so does Target, but then again they have no black fur - only ginger and white. I'll bet Doppy is happy to live in a nice home!

Hi Ellen, yeah, Doppy sure enjoys being out of the rain and into a nice loving family, with a doggy to bully too. She's my father in law's little angel!
