 Small Mika  Big Mika

Now Mika is a totally different character from Periwinkle. Cool, calm and collected, he is not as jumpy and as curious as Periwinkle. He loves ‘gardening’. Our house plant, one is broken due to his aggressive ‘gardening’. Whenever we let him outside, he’s so happy playing about and sniffing (and eating) the grass. In the above Big Mika picture, that is his signature sitting position. he didn’t lie down like normal cats, rather he sit like that. He’s also the more ‘manja’ one between the two. He’ll come and rub himself against you and snuggle and when you call him, he’ll very eagerly comes to you.

So that’s a little bit about Mika now.

 Small Periwinkle  Big Periwinkle

Look how small Periwinkle used to be! Now she’s all big and lying down on her tummy. It’s very funny seeing her grow up, because although she’s getting bigger everyday, her ‘perangai’ more or less remains the same. She’s the more curious one of the two. She loves sniffing around everything new we brought back to the home. She also has a very ‘merepek’ character. She sleeps on her back like donkey in Shrek. She got lost inside our big floor cushion, she slippped herself under the double cushion cover and can’t get herself out. The funniest thing about her is, whenever we call her name, instead of ‘meowing’ as an answer – she let out this sound ‘eh eh eh’. (not human sound la, cat sound – it’s difficult to explain in writing!).

Anyway, that’s a little bit about Periwinkle. I’ll update a little something about Mika in a minute.

Mika the Macho Kitten April 22, 2008

Mika is this little male kitten with huge machon-ess. Completely different from the jumpy Periwinkle, he is more tough and brave to defend himself when attacked by the – tada, penyapu!

Ok, I did not purposely attack him. Whenever I was sweeping these 2 kittens will always follow me around, fascinated yet at the same time scared with the penyapu. I don’t know what about the penyapu that intrigued them so much.

While Periwinkle will jump up and down and scurried away in the funniest mak nenek way. Mika will steadily stare at the penyapu, and when the penyapu comes nearer to him – he will hiss at the penyapu!

His fur standing up till the end of his tail, putting on this fierce look in his tiny, tiny little face – and he hissed!

It’s so funny!

(well, for all I know it might be dangerous or unhealthy signs in kitten’s behaviour, because I didn’t know much about cat’s behaviour)

So, to my untrained and ignorant eyes, it looks real macho! eheh.

Periwinkle’s antic April 22, 2008

I am a green tea drinker. In fact, that is the only drink I drink besides plain water. I plonk the Dilmah tea bag in my huge mug, pour hot water, pour air suam – my drink is ready!

The tea bag tag that is hanging out from the mug then will sway, and flip, and flutter under the fan and that attracts Periwinkle.

She’ll climb on the chair and on the table and will just play with the tea bag’s tags. She always has this fascination with things that flutters. Even a simple sweet wrappings can be a source of pleasure for her. She’ll be playig with it for hours.

I took a picture of she playing with the tag on my camera phone, but I don’t know how to put it here.
