Caught in flagrante

why do cats love drawers, closets, bags, clothes piles, and everything they shouldn't be sleeping on?

Gaya's first walk

This Friday I decided to finally take Gaya for a walk in the street. I've been thinking about doing that since she moved in, cuz she is always so attracted to the outside world and keeps running away from home. Sometimes I ask myself if I am good mom... So cat's curiosity made me borrow Billy's collar and see what happened.

She was kind of paralyzed by the collar. It looked like she felt extremely weird with it, she literally didn't move. It was pretty funny :)) After a while she kind of started getting used to it and we went down for a bit. She meowed a lot, and was at the same time curious and a bit scared.

setting up the xmas tree :)

I LOVE Christmas! Always have, since I was a kid, and I guess it's because of my grandma's great parties, with all my cousins, delicious food and her inimitable Santa Claus song when it was time to open the gifts :)) A tear wants to come down, just for thinking about it...

Also December is the month of many birthdays in my family - my grandma, my aunt, my mom, and now my two nieces! - and it is definitely the time to celebrate. I have to say it's not been easy, since mom and grandma recently passed away, but I do try to keep the spirit alive.

One thing that my tree can't miss is my grandma's traditional Christmas card! The other things my xmas will always have are all the loving memories, the wonderful taste, since I got her hand for cooking, and the love and the joy, because I will always believe in Santa and in magic, and in miracles :)

Gaya

Introducing the newest family member - Gaya - a 7 years old Siamese who needed a home :)

Apparently her former owner had a baby and wanted to get rid of the cat. I don't understand these kind of people... but anyways, the bright side (cuz everything has one!) is that now we are a very happy bigger family and I'm completely in love with her!

...and I'd say she is pretty happy too... :) Doesn't she look cool just sitting 'n' relaxing in her new bed?

PS: In ancient Indian history, Gaya is the city where Buddha got enlightenment. Hum... Maybe that's a sign...
