WCB #52: Cat and Mouse
Weekends are when food bloggers take a break from posting about food and share pictures of their pets. Clare over at eatstuff.net initiated Weekend Cat Blogging and this week is its first anniversary! With the sparseness of my posts here nowadays, this is hardly a break but an explanation!
What keeps me from blogging more often nowadays? Aside from work and personal projects, there’s this big bundle of fur called Kittycat who refuses to budge from my computer table!
She was a stray who insisted on being adopted. At first I thought she was an abandoned kitten because she was very docile and would jump on my lap and just beg to be stroked. I later realised she was a feral after seeing a colony of cats near our house and they looked almost exactly like her – same coat, markings and tail. Hmmm… a girl who got herself off the streets, hehehe!
For WCB #52, Clare asks us to post about our cats’ favourite toys. Well, Kittycat has several. She doesn’t like conventional toys but loves boxes. She plays hide-and-seek with the other cats and then falls asleep when tired. She also likes the long cardboard tubes inside the rolls of wax or foil paper (yes, she stays in the kitchen most of the time, waiting for something edible to fall on the floor) and chase or hold them for a long time.
Recently though, I discovered something else! First it solved the mystery of why the monitor was always smudged when I never touch it and wipe it at least thrice a week. It seems that if I leave for a few minutes, the furry creature jumps on the table and paws the screen. I even saw her licking it once and yes, it was a page off a food blog, I kid you not. When she’s tired of all that, she just lays down and nudges the mouse with her nose. That was after I told her biting the mouse’s ‘tail’ is forbidden.
Visit Clare and Kiri and see who else is in the party!
hey, someone’s enjoying the screen glare too much… wake up! :frog:
hahaha! baka maging blogger na din si kittycat one of these days! :cat:

:cat: Hi, Karen! Kaaliw naman n’yang pusa mo! What a techie!

i’m looking forward for more..

The ff is unrelated to this post, but since this is the most recent item and since I am such a fan of this website, I thought that I would put the question here. Whatever happened to that compilation of essays on Capampangan cuisine called, “Mekeni,Abe”? It was the finest collection anywhere on this topic and a brilliant introduction to the cuisine. But the webpage no longer seems to exist. Does anyone know?
:cat: hello!
hope kittycat has been sterilised already! she seems like a very cute cat!
love your blog. YuM!!! :chickenrun:
i stumbled upon your blog today and i’ve already spent an unhealthy amount of time just going through your archives on sweets and kampampangan food. my mom’s from pampanga and i spent most of my summers in minalin. going through your entries brings me back and reminds me of the glorious, glorious things i was fed then. i’m looking forward to more of your recipes and more of your excellently-written entries.
What do you know, Kittycat is a he! We found that out a short while before he was to be fixed. :cat:
RST, I checked the site and it seems it’s already offline. I’ve been asking around on what happened. Will let you know when I find out.
Hi km, thanks for visiting and for liking my blog. I hope to squeeze in more blog time soon!
