Thanks for watching! :D

they belong...

I came across this random picture on the Internet. These two little babies look so cute and funny that they makes me giggle. They also looks so caring and comfortable with each other that it makes me feel warm from the inside of my heart. I got sucked right into the mood of this picture, and couldn't take my eyes away for awhile...

DIY cat dental chew toy

[period of obsession] 1.5 hours
[goal] effective and cheap cat dental cleaning aid
[item required]
- a natural vegetable sponge (loofah), $1 reject shop (preferably non-dyed)
- hot water
- steak knife for cutting
- scissor for trimming the edge

[idea] All natural loofah is safe for animals to chew on and is okay if loose fiber is accidentally ingested. (not chunks which might cause choking, so supervise the usage) According to websites, the tough loofah fiber cleans off cats' teeth while cats enjoy chewing on its unique texture.

[step 1] boil the loofah in pot for 20 min to soften the fiber and sterilize. I fail to find any non-dyed loofah, so I boiled mine for much longer in order to wash out the dye as much as I can.

[step 2] use the steak knife to slice off discs of loofah. I personally choose this shape because it seems to fit in cat's little mouth better. I imagine this can clean off the inner molars better. Also, any fiber which might come off is short. I am sure any shape works as long as it allows plenty of chewing surface area. Also, use a scissor to trim off obvious loose fiber along the edge.


[step 3] smudge a little treat on the loofah, stock treat crumbles in between the fiber, or even sprinkle catnip on it.... do whatever gets the interest of your cat to chew on it.


[step 4] I suggest supervision during the activity since swallowing a large chunk of loofah could cause choking/throat irritation. (same as no good to shallow anything too large) Also, after chewing is done, you can wash the loofah in warm water and dry it off easily . Or, even boil it again for further sanitation.

DIY cat toy box

[period of obsession] 20 min
[goal] DIY a peek-a-prize cat toy box, retail US$40


[items and tools]
- one empty cereal box (or any narrow cardboard box)
- some tape to seal ends, also to anchor the toy on the floor once finished
- blade to cut
- an empty toilet paper roll to draw shapes
- a pen to draw


[step 1] trace the shape on the box


[step 2] cut out the shapes


[step 3] drop cat toys into the box with holes


[done] It's my toy until Misty gets here! (cost - next to $0!) When given to cats, better to tape it down to the floor for better play. (Otherwise, the box is too light, it can fly across the room in one kick.)


[and...] thread a string through the circle cut-outs, and turned them into toys, too!

Misty (week 1 - 9)

[Name] Misty Carmichael
[Gender] Female
[Birthday] Nov 28th 2007, 3:20pm, Sagittarius
[Breed] Munchkin
[Colour] Lilac tabby and white
[Coat] Medium long
[Breeder] MyMunchies Cattery
[Parents] Creators Valentino (sire) x MyMunchies Betty Boo (dam) weight 2-3kg

Week 1 -- The mom, Misty (short legged) and her sister, Fantasy (long legged). It's a litter of two only.


Week 2 -- Misty's eyes were just opened.


Week 3 --She could walk around slowly now. Apparently, Munchkin kittens learn to walk quickly with their short but stable legs, unlike long legged kittens which get the "noodle leg" factor.


Week 4 -- Misty's sister, Fantasy, is also totally adorable!


Week 5 --becoming more and more active!


Week 6 -- isn't it just amazing how fast they grow!!


Week 7 -- (500g) check out the tabby marking on her forehead! "M" for Misty!


Week 8 -- such a little poser~


Week 9 -- (900g) She is going to be such an adorable cat! We can't wait to welcome her home!
