Ocha is not much of a jumper/climber. Her physical shape limits her agility to do that, compared to other cats in this household. Also, she wasn't a big fan of high places since young.
Imagine my surprise when I walked into this sight. She seemed surprised, too. Teehee. My little apple Ocha.
It has been pretty constant now. Daily request to be cuddled by Ocha after I'm done with cleaning works. Sweet, sweet girl!
Purin giving Neato an earful!
Purin was rudely woken up by Neato (our home robotic vacuum cleaner) again this morning! This little girl just can't seems to learn the daily routine! Then again, THIS is her daily routine now, to give Neato the hiss every morning whilst its running.
Setting aside purchases for Joey's cats
Tatiana is just being her usual self, occupying new things in the house with her scent-sibility. Wait a minute! I think she found the cat toy I'm giving it to Circle+Maomao!
Catnip-ed?
Two more Kojima's soft toys are on their way to our house, Tatiana! Those will be for us!
It's time for Tatiana's turn on the bench. Daily routine. But Ocha is still taking her nap on the bench! Naughty girl pat-patOcha's bum to wake her up. When Ocha woke up to look who is patting her bum, Tatiana feigned ignorance!
Well, at least Tatiana is gentle and polite this time.
When Ocha turns away, Tatiana looked at her again. Thinking how much resilience Ocha holds.
Oops! Caught while giving Ocha the excuse-me-will-you-move bum patting! Awkward!
Sweet defeat
I have to carry Ocha up from the bench to another spot. If this goes on, both will end up in a little fight and frustration. But I've made a little blanket-nest for her. She loves it!
Bliss
Tatiana is also very happy she gets to keep her daily routine checked!
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.
Spoon mode #2
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.
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 (↼_↼)
These two have similar characters and ATTITUDE. Yet, they can't quite tolerate each other's presence, at least not this close. Unless, they are in a situation whence both have only each other to rely on. Example: LINK
Feeling safe to be this close, yes?
Cannot be bothered at this point. Sun was too good!
Ocha loves this to sleep in this set-up on our bed. Time to wake this little angel up so we can all share this bed for our bedtime (●⌒v⌒●) Nah, she hardly sleeps with us. Even when she does, it will be for a short while and/or when there's more space on bed to do so; no other cats around.
Ocha rarely sleeps here. But she will rushes to sleep on it the moment I change a new rug on this bench. This is one of 'em furkids' sunny bed. Usually occupied by Kohi and Purin. Mostly Kohi, occasionally, Tatiana. Rarely Ocha.
3 of my girl cats love their sun-baking session daily. They will find the sunniest spots in the apartment to stretch out in the late noon.
The only one who dislikes too much sun or heat is the ONLY boy in the household, Kohi. We always joked that he, "怕黑", literally translated "Scared Black" (●´∀`●)ブハハハ!. Or afraid to be tanned. By the way, he's a tuxedo cat.
