Chani

Greeting everyone. As you might have heard, I have had quite a bit of stress in my life the past few days. Two nights ago, this was me. I was recovering from the visit to the VET but calm and quite meditative.

Then, Mom took me to the VET again the next morning because of my eyes! I made sure to tell her I was upset on the way there. During the visit, I just lay passively in her arms without whining or squeaking at all. (Secretly, I bet she loved that!... I joke, but I do tend to complain when she picks me up).

On the way home, after getting my ear flushed and all that, I made sure to voice my displeasure and show it as well. I hid under the comfy bed she put in my carrier. Every now and then, I would poke my head out so she could hear my complaints at full volume without being muffled by the bed.

I did perk up a bit and had a good day at home. When Mom came home from work, I had forgiven her and greeted her at the door with 9. I ate my dinner and slept next to her too.

This morning, Mom checked my eyes and they look much better! Yay! I did manage to stumble once when I shook my head. Mom hopes I'll get over it.

However, since I'm doing better, Mom is making this an occasion to cuddle with me a lot! Now, let me tell you, WE DO NOT CUDDLE IN THE MORNING! Especially when it is not on my terms.
Grrrr... I hope she stops this morning cuddling nonsense. I can barely tolerate it when she does it at night!


Marlene here. Thank you everyone for your support! As Leslie said, it's our own fears and worries that can make things so much worse. Chani is doing much better. She probably thinks I was worrying unnecessarily, but better safe than sorry. I love my little Princess! Now, I have to make sure that 9 doesn't feel neglected since Chani has been getting so much more attention these past few days.

Chani's eyes

Chani has great eyeliner.


Great lashes too...


Angel and Kirby gave us this award! Here are the answers to the questions...

1. What would your perfect day consist of?
A day where Mom would feed us treats and our wet food every time she went into the kitchen.

2. How would you describe yourself if you were an item of clothing?
Chani would be a delicate piece of lace. 9 would be a very sturdy t-shirt.

3. What hobbies are you currently working on?
Mom is working on painting and printing photos to decorate our new condo.

4. Walking in the woods in wellies or bare foot on the beach?
Barefoot on the beach for Mom. She spent her childhood summers in Hawaii, after all.


5. Have you ever hugged or sang to a tree?
No. What is a tree? Something that is outside? We're indoor kitties after all.


6. Growing your own veggies or nipping to the supermarket?
Mom wishes she could grow her own, but she's not very good with plants. That's why she has kitties like us who remind her to feed us and make sure our water bowl is filled.

7. Have you found anyone exciting in your family tree?
No, but 9 thinks he is descended from royalty despite his thuglike behavior toward Chani. Chani is a princess. As for Mom, nope.


8. Slap up meal in a posh restaurant or fish ‘n’ chips from the wrapper?
Ooh, we'd like fish 'n' chips. Well, the fish and the wrapper at least. Mom would take both the posh and the wrapper.

9. Which element do you most resonate with, Earth, Air, Fire or Water?
Being a potter, Mom definitely resonates with Fire (all potters are pyromaniacs). As for us, Chani is like Air, delicate and agile. 9 is like Earth, sturdy and strong.

Now to give this to 5 friends... oh dear... Mom says that she will have to send this award to our friends tomorrow as she really must get back to work. We'll make sure she does this!
