Latest Member of the family

16 Feb 08

Don't be misled by my subject title. The latest member of my family is not of human nature, certainly not related to happy news of "a" pregnancy.

We welcome a 3 month old female kitten to our family. She is from the Ragamuffin cat species. So what's her name? Initially, the 4-year old wanted to name her Lola, then Charlie... then Ragamuffin, finally we all settled and agreed to name her Raggie (in short).

We selected her from Pet Tales and she was delivered to our door step the same night. Well, everything went smoothly. The 4-year old took responsibility to entertain her kitten while MOTH and I braved through the strong stench of urine (which came along with her new cage), assembling her 3 storey condominum. The 4-year old also put the kitten's belongings away, and preparing her feed.

Fortunately, MOTH took to this kitten (unlike the Prince Charles Cocker spaniel which we shamefully owned for a short span of time). Ms Raggie has settled in well, begun her little cat adventures of running, hopping, climbing in her graceful ways.

Gosh, she did all her "big and tiny businesses" in her litter tray leaving no trace of mess at all. We didn't even think she had visited her litter tray until I started digging through the sand bits (with a scoop of course).

We love this little feline addition. Truly, really, do...
