I love my cats.
I hope they love me as much.

I love Meowz too

Ok, did it seem like i was pinsam (favourtism) on Poppy after writing that blog on him last night?

That my blog has Poppy's name first then only Meowz?

Of course not.

I love both equally.

So, to make it up, here's pictures i have of Meowz...

Get ready to melt...

Auw, kitten Meowz!

Didn't i tell u that kitten has dumbo ears?

Auw....isn't that just so adorable?

He sleeps all the time. Like all cats.

Ho sek, ho chi (Eat good, live good)

I also want to be like that.

Oh, Meowz and my Kaloo bear!

Who is the cutest?

Coo cooo

My heart's all fuzzy now....

Fatso already. Eat too much, sleep too much.

Poppy manja

Ah, i want to log off now but Poppy just jumped onto the bench to sit next to me.

Purring very very loudly.
Burying his fuzzy face onto my side.
So cute.
How to sleep like that?
It's rare for Poppy to be so manja.
Normally, he would be nearby but not that near.
Just near enough for him to stare at me with those gollywog eyes.
He loves to stare at his mummy.
He's also very possessive of mummy, his pillow and his perch.
If Meowzers comes close to any of these 3, he would pick a fight.
By jumping on Meowz.
Poppy-is-naughty.
He's so naughty that his walk looks naughty.
His fur looks naughty.
Everything is naughty.
Ah, finally he jumped off.
Now i can go to bed.
I hope he knows that his mummy loves him a lot lot.
Even though he is so naughty.

Good night boyz.

Powder puff

No, it's not wrong spelling.
Powder puff to me means tail.
As in cat's tail.
In particular, Meowzers' tail as it is not the pointy type of tail, it is short and stumpy at the end. Like a powder puff.
He has the cutest tail.
Enjoy the clip.

Cats i want

How cute is this?

I want these two cats.

I wish MeowMeow and Poppy would be such good pals to sit so closely together so i could take this type of photos.

U do realise my blogsite name PoppyMeow is named after Poppy and MeowMeow, don't u?

Just wondering.

Here are cats i would like to have and their so called names :

Japanese Bobtail

Name : Bobsy

British Shorthair

Name : Snowy

Ragdoll

Name : Raggamuffin

Tonkinese

Name : Baboushka

Or, just call them, Do, Re, Mi, Fa. If i ever have 20 cats, i would probably have to name them by numbers : 1, 2 3, 4, 5....20

So i could say this : "Hey 15 is missing!"

Poppy the helicopter

Remember i said Poppy does not like to be held.
While he loves to be combed, he does not allow anyone to hold him.
He would twist and turn his body again and again.
And all claws would come out.
I call this 'the helicopter twist'.

See it for yourself.
Record time someone's held Poppy without dropping him.
1 minute.
That's the longest ever.
I am the record holder.
Daddy meow can't beat me.
He's such a wuss.

Sorry the resolution is so low. I wanted it to download faster...

Doppy is staying

My parents in law is keeping Doppy!!!
I get a new cat!
Apparently there are no takers for Doppy so when i go and visit them, i get to see Bobby AND Doppy!
Daddy meow's suspicious.
Him : Did u put the kitten outside my house? Just like what u did with Bobby????
Me : Yeah rite.
Him : At least u could put a cuter one.
Me : Tell your mom not to name it anything else. The name is Doppy.
Him : That's the stupidest name ever la.
Me : But it rhymes - Bobby, Poppy, Doppy
Him : How about MeowMeow?
Me : Meow-py

Don't u just love me and my creative brain in pet naming?

I will have more excuse to go see my in laws now.
If u have cats, i will come to your house to visit u too.
I just want to play with the cat unfortunately.
Not with u.
Haha.

Need to go shopping for Doppy this weekend.
Cat litter, cat food, play things, etc.
Oh boy, my favourite.

Cat WWF 2

Here's what happened after the first round.

Guess who won?

Lightweights should never fight against heavy weights.

Cat WWF

Looky what i found.
Meowzers and Poppy earlier days.
Where they used to play fight a lot.
It looks scary though - i bite your neck, u bite my neck.
Sometimes it looks like they are necking.
I hate it when they fight - cos fur starts flying everywhere.
Litterally.
So naughty.
Meowzers used to play with me by chasing me around.
Hide and seek.
Now he rather play with his younger brother cum court jester.
I have been replaced by Poppy.
Ah well.

See them fight. Who u want to win?

Vomit, i hate

Poppy is naughty!
He just barfed all over the floor. Yucks.
What makes it even naughtier is that he keeps moving around and barfing at different spots.
4 different spots!
And daddy meow the vomit cleaner is asleep.
What should i do?
Clean it now?
Leave it and let daddy meow scrap off the crusty vomit tomorrow?
Euw.
I think i have to clean it now.
Big sigh.
I guess i should be lucky that it's just vomit.
Better out from the front door than the back.
Get what i mean?

Fang face

Does anyone realise that Poppy has one fang that sticks out?

Buck teeth.

I have never seen a cat with buck teeth.

That's what makes Poppy a funny funny cat.

He needs to wear cat braces.

If there were such thing.

I don't have a perfect cat.

That's ok, i am not perfect either.

In fact, his teeth gives him character.

It was not apparent when he was a kitten.

But as he grew, we noticed one of the fang kept sticking out even more.

Daddy meow always say that Poppy can carry fishballs easily, he just has to poke the fishball with his fang.

Whenever i am working and i feel a furry face brushing on my toes below and a poky teeth, i would know it's Pops.

It's scary though, sometimes he likes to run fast fast and crash onto the wooden door.

Am worried that one day he would not be able to apply his brakes fast enough and bang face first onto the door, cracking his fang.

When Poppy eats, it takes him a long long time to chew something.

And morsels of food keep dropping out of his mouth.

Messy eater.

Perhaps it's due to his buck tooth.

Poor Pops.

But i still love him.

Daddy meow calls him fang face.

Here's an illustration of Poppy with his buck tooth.

Boys and the vacuum cleaner

The boys hate the vacuum cleaner.

They are smart enough to know when i turn the vacuum cleaner on, it's time for them to get out of the way.
Or not, their tails could get sucked.
Which they hate.
Naughty mommy.
When the familiar sound of the cleaner roars, they would either hop on the coffee table, chairs or their perch.
Here's a picture of both on the perch, getting out of mommy's way...
Isn't it adorable?
I think it's time to get a new perch for them. A taller one.

Doppy

A kitten was abandoned by its mother cat outside my parent in law’s house.
Me : Can I keep it?? (with huge imploring eyes)
Hubby : No! Ur boys won’t like him
Me : Both of them already don’t like each other anyway. What’s a third one? No biggie.

I want to call the cat Doppy. U know, Poppy, Bobby, Doppy… (yeah, i am that good at pet naming) It’s not that cute but…kittens are never really cute. In fact, I like grown up cats rather than kittens. Kittens have dumbo ears that they grow out into at later stage. But now, those dumbo ears sure look funny. Meowz had dumbo ears. Pops has dumbo ears and almost-want-to-pop-out eyes. Whenever we look at their kitten photos, daddy meow would wrinkle his nose and say “What the hell did u see in them anyway when they are small? What made u want to pick up Meowzers and pay RM800 for Poppy? So ugly!”

Now, puppies look cute. Grown up dogs are not as cute. I miss puppy Bobby. Fat, round and clumsy.

Well, I don’t have photos of Meowz and Pops in their kitten form right now, but I do have pics of ‘Doppy’ and Bobby. Daddy meow said I can’t give the kitten a name, as we are not keeping it. His dad’s colleague may be interested in it. Who cares, I am still calling it Doppy.

Puppy Bobby Adult Bobby Kitten Doppy

Another man in my life

In case u think I only like cats, I do love dogs too. Turtles, hamsters, rabbits, any types of animals. I also like iguanas but it gives daddy meow the shivers. What a chicken shit.
He’s just aghast when I told him that I kissed my tortoises on their necks.

I have another love – BOBBY.
That’s my hubby’s pet dog.
That just landed on his front gate one night, 7 years ago.
Bobby was just a little puppy then.
I was on the phone with hubby when he said “Hey, my mom found a puppy outside the garden!”
“REALLY! I wanna come now!”
Bobby was a pretty puppy.
My husband thought he struck gold – someone left a golden retriever pup on his doorstep.
But then, Bobby started growing and looking like a terrier.
A naughty brown terror, sorry, I mean terrier.
So naughty that his black Labrador and white Spitz boycotted Bobby.
So, Bobby had to be separated from the other two dogs.
But Bobby LOVES me. A LOT.
A LOT more than my husband or his parents.
Cos I used to bring doggy biscuits and little treats for puppy Bobby.
He would munch on his biscuits while sitting on my lap.
Even when my mom-in-law pulls him off, he would climb back on. Ten times.
Bobby sure loves me the most.
He would run for the ball and bring it to me, all the time.
Only me.
If anyone tries to take his food away when he’s eating, he would growl.
But not at me. I could take his char siew pau away and he would still be wagging his tail.
When I am there, Bobby just pays attention to me, not him.
My husband is perplexed and jealous.
“Chee ko pek dog”.
But Bobby has never tried to hump my leg. Not once.
He does it to my mom-in-law and my hubby.
Grab, mount and hump.
What a riot.
Hubby : Was it U who put Bobby at our front garden? U planted him there, didn’t u?
Me : He dropped from heaven. Ya-lah, so what if I did?
Hubby : Bah, at least u could have left a golden retriever instead of a terrier-rist. He’s such a handful and looks funny!
Me : U know I like terriers. They are small and cute.
Hubby : And VERY naughty!

My 3 naughties – Meowz, Poppy and Bobby. My first 3 loves. Poor hubby.

Biting the hand that feeds

My orange fuzzy likes to bite my hands.

He gets itchy teeth episodes.

It's like when babies are growing their teeth and they need something to chew on.

A chew toy.

My hands/fingers are Meowzers chew toys.

But Meowzers is 6 years old. Not a baby cat anymore.

Whenever his teeth gets itchy, he would jump onto my lap, starts to gnaw at whichever hand that would be scratching his fuzzy head.

Normally he knows how to control, but sometimes he could get too carried away and it would really be painful.

But he has never drawn blood from my hands.

He knows how to bite hard yet soft enough not to penetrate my skin.

Smart cat.

Trust me, it's quite painful.

No one would be that stupid to let their cat gnaw on their hands.

Except me.

I can't explain the phenomenon, why he likes to chew my fingers....but only Meowzers does it.

Poppy couldn't be bothered.

Sometimes he bites on one finger and just holds it in his mouth. Like a tiger holding it's prey, not really hungry, but just holding onto it.

He does it a lot lately.

I can't read my newspaper in peace. Which explains all the unread pile of newspapers. Sigh.

My mom would be horrified.

Here are some photos of him biting my hands....

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

But perhaps the most painful episode was this one which daddy meow recorded. Major Ouch.

Don't ever try this boys and girls...
