This is how my big boy Kohi asks for head-scritchy and morning cuddles 😳 Gladly oblige, my Prince!
Like this, like this, ya?
No worries. Me know just how my li'Prince would like it 🤗 'ang on!
You may begin!
Letting my Kohi sleeps in a little longer on our bed this morning. It's his hooman Papa Bear's 🐻 off day today. Everyone, except me, gets to sleep in till late. Hurhurhur.
Papa Bear is home late from work. 01:xxH late. No wonder I was so sleepy by then.
Time to switch the spoon mode!
After picking Papa Bear up from town, we had some food while watching telly at the hall. It was already their bedtime! Since both of us are not in our bedroom, Kohi is also out in the hall with us at this hour.

Purin and Kohi are very close throughout the day and night. They used to be very close. After moving indoor, they haven't been that close for a while. I guess nothing has changed. They are still very, very close. Especially when I'm a little busy and Kohi is in the mood for snuggle, Purin is always ready for him.
Whilst I wait for hubby's return from work - another late night - Kohi came snuggling up to me on the sofa. Thinking it's bedtime and I'll be sleeping here (sofa) tonight. Sweet, sweet boy of mine!
First week into a brand new year 2017 with all our furkids safe & happy ♪♬((d⌒ω⌒b))♬♪ Here are a series of photos taken on Nexus 6P, and a bonus video clip of Purin's REM, also taken on moby.
Kohi is getting fatter and fluffier since he moved permanently indoor. It was also during that time when he was suffering from another liver failing attack. During that time, we had to postponed his relocation with us. I'd stayed back to nurse him well enough to finally made the relocation up North with Purin and him.
Kohi is the only boy and the biggest in this household. He is also the only one who has the most health-related issues. Good thing is, he is also the sweetest and easier to handle during those time. Pilling him is a breeze, on top of many other complicated recovery process. His weight has been maintained at 6.3kg top. We (vet and I) are targeting 5.5kg as the fittest weight for him, or at least get his tummy trims down. Despite his huge stature, this boy usually squeak like a squeaky toy! When he does cry, he cries the loudest with that big lungs of his! He cries when we bring him out for the car ride or during shower, of course.

Purin is still chatty. She will even answers you when she's fast asleep! She is warming up with her Papa Bear and me very well! She doesn't snaps that often anymore. Still not able to grab her jaw/mouth without her trying to snaps, though. We will continue to try because since birth, she was lucky enough to not fell sick and having to pill. Now that she is a permanent indoor cat, we will take this opportunity to train her. In case she falls sick in the future, we are able to pill and nurse her well.
Purin loves to greet us, multiple times in a day, by her skill-less slalom between our legs while we walk or sit. She gives generous amount of head bumps, too! Many times, I was caught choking by her strong head bumping into my ribs when I sat on the floor with her. Since Papa Bear is much taller, when he sat on the floor, he will not get jabs into the rib by her. Instead, every night when Papa Bear returns from work, Purin will cuddles his smelly feet whilst Papa Bear sat on the floor! Yes, she still loves smelly feet, be it worn socks or shoes/slippers. The more aromatic it is, the more high she gets whilst cuddling it! Eeeewww ヽ(>_<ヽ)

Ocha is still the smallest and slimmest in this household! She's quite a picky eater. Not much of the type but the amount and speed she eats. We've called her the Fine Diner now. She doesn't eats kibble that is being placed in the bowl for too long, unless I forced her. She gives up eating the moment she is interrupted - Kohi came staring at her after finishing his own food, or when we move some big object near her, or someone walks (loudly) passed our corridor.
Once a while, Ocha will comes cuddling with us. Quite rare for me. She prefers Papa Bear. When she does, it will be the most amusing sight! She can rolls, head bumps and bum bumps us in the most agile manner. For that, we've called her Stunt Cat. We are most amused by her talks, too. She doesn't purr or talks easily. When she does talks, she sounds like an impatient human! Almost like barking.
When we first moved her indoor in Kuala Lumpur, she started speaking Cantonese! She will goes, "Amm, Amm", "Mmm Amm" to let us know if she finds it well or not well to her satisfaction. E.g., "Ocha, this food amm mmm amm?" (Ocha, this food right or not right for you?). She will really replies either "Amm" or "Mmm Amm".

Tatiana is the most well-adjusted indoor cat. After all, she grew up close to me indoor! Still an angel. Knowing us the most. We sometimes suspect Tatiana knows human language! She knows when we are talking about her, even what about her! She is so used to me, she knows every bit about what I want and how I feel! ( ˘⌣˘)♡(˘⌣˘ ) She is my soulmate.
She is still acting like the boss cat in this household. Well, at least she tries only. Hey, I have 3 Queens in this household. What do you expect? Teehee. So, she picks on the only Tom in this household, Kohi. Poor boy, he is such a sweet, tolerant soul. I've always warned Tatiana not to push her big brother too far. Kohi is actually very, very strong! Once, many years back, I saw Tatiana flew from one corner of the room to the other corner against the wall from just ONE kick by Kohi. I left them both in my bedroom to grab something in the hall. When I returned, I saw Tatiana cornering Kohi against the wall. Everything happens so fast. Well, at least that put her off bullying for a while.
Tatiana has also started to eases a little more with the others. Most times finding her being tolerant to have 'em very close by without a cat fight or hisses. Sometimes, she will even initiates chase'n'pounce with them.
Overall, we are happy with the dynamic direction this household is heading. Yes, even for us hoomans.
Yoo-hoo-hoo ヾ(*'▽'*) furkids! Mama is back with your new toy! They are always excited when I bring bags/boxes home. Most times it just means I have new toys or food for them. So clever!
Tatiana, you're supposed to be scratching on the top!
I've ordered this scratchpad from ezbuy and it took longer than given ETA to arrive. It finally arrived for collection, together with the kitchen shelf \(≧▽≦)/
Scratchpad comes with a pink fluffy ball wand & a bag of catnip
It doesn't takes Tatiana long to steals and gnaws on that bag of catnip 〣( ºΔº )〣 Addict!
T: All, all, it's all mine! Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw!
The furkids took turn to play with the scratchpad while high on catnip & silver vine powder. Leaving me well alone to assemble the new kitchen shelf (↼_↼)
Huddled in the middle of hall from scary thunderstorm outdoor
It has been about 2 years since my three meowsketeers (Kohi, Purin, Ocha) are given a permanently indoor status. Yet, some of the old habits remained. Actually, more of a habit, it's fear. The primal instinct to keep themselves save all these years being our car porch furkids; occasionally indoor for treatment or sneaked in for cuddles when Mama D not home.
When it's raining/thunderstorm outside, Purin will huddles up at some weird spots around the house. Not even hiding, like a normal, scared kitty. She literally frozen up and not moving much from her last chosen spot.
This morning, her dear brother, Kohi went up to her and huddled together in that weird spot. So much LOVE (●♡∀♡) Kohi & Ocha have not been stressed by thunderstorm recently. I'm glad they felt safe now.
Tatiana nesting like a bird on the chair when I put it up to run my robot v.cleaner
Tatiana has been an indoor cat since I've rescued her off the road, after a hit-and-run near my house. She has no fear towards the vacuum cleaner nor thunderstorm.
But, recently, she started to acts (Drama Queen) like she's in fear of the vacuum cleaner! She does observes how the others are behaving and decided to pick up this particular habit. What a little drama queen! Her acting is pretty lousy. She just thought it is best not to sticks out, and just run a little around the house when the vacuum cleaner is out like that other furkids. I'm sure she doesn't even knows why they are doing that (。>‿‿<。 )
I've recently gave my 1+ year old Cornell 1600Wvacuum cleaner away. I've replaced it with a smaller, quieter & cordless one. Changing my daily cleaning routine a little to cut short the time needed.
Today's Special - Kohi the Wake-Up Caller! This is pretty rare. My handsome boy Kohi rarely wakes me up. Even when it is his meal time (ง ͠ಠ_ಠ)ง He will let Tatiana or Purin do just that. These two girls can screams, persistently, till we are fully awake! Tatiana is the most hardcore when it comes to her duty to wake us up. Purin has only just started to learns this waking-up-these-hoomans-for-food antic. Still a tad mild, nevertheless, ultra-cute!
But today, he decided to crawls up to my tummy and gave me a gentle kneading session.
Such a sweet, sweet gentle boy (^³^)~♪ Love the way you wake me, sweetheart!
My little (big) boy, Kohi, has been coming for his nightly cuddle during our (hoomans) bedtime. Tonight, he fell asleep under the blanket, head on my pillow, between his mama and papa. Sweet!
....until Tatiana came in, hoping to sleep on my pillow tonight and saw him! HISSED!
Unsure how long we fell asleep between Tatiana came in.
It's that time of the day again! The warmest and sunniest time, on this very spot of the house. Kohi crawled up to the sunbed, barely, and when I stared at him, he will goes full force adorable-ness ˓˓ก₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎ค˒˒ on me!
All three meowsketeers know how to gives themselves a good ear/head scritching *:・゚✧(=✪ ᆺ ✪=)*:・゚✧ Too adorable not to stare, and help them scritch as well!
