Small wonders happen every day.

 

Deshima’s kittens are growing and developing well. Every day there is a surprise for me. One day a witnessed a small wonder.

As soon as their eyes opened, their little faces changed immediately. A few days later, they were able to see their world. The first two weeks mummy was their world they smelled her, they felt her warmth and they heard here coming.

We also were a part of their world and they turned their little heads towards us, when we visited them. We caressed them and spoke softly with them; I also like to sing for them.

Baby frolicking about in the snow

Our cats love to be in the garden. We have made our garden a safe place for them where they can play, run, climb and run.  This morning Baby discovers the snow in the garden and she wants to get into the garden.

Baby is one year old and she is the only daughter of Tsukiko and Storm, she has four brothers. Baby likes to play, to run, to jump and to hunt but she also likes to sleep on top of the cupboard in the living room. She likes high places so she can keep an eye on things.

In the garden she is a real predator, she is always on the hunt, her eyes, nose, and ears fixed on the plants. She really loves to observe birds; as soon as she sees or hears one, she would call the others to join her in a hunt.
Early this morning she discovers Mr. Robin he was singing in the hedge and she wants to get into the garden immediately. “MEOOOOOW “

 

How to catch a robin?

First, you have to observe his habits. Where does he prefer to sing his song?Then you have to hide in the bushes near his stage as soon as he enters the garden. As soon as he enters, his stage and start to sing you have to wait for the right moment.Fortunately, I have the perfect camouflage in the snow, so I think I will be lucky to day. It is matter of patience and focussing on my prey and patience, a lot of patience.

 

Frolicking in the snow.

It has been snowing and the Bengals are very anxious to get in their garden. Agitated they waited for us in the kitchen and they all crowded round the kitchen door. They meowed: “Where are you waiting for, open the kitchen door please.” When we took our time, they decided that we need motivating. Wasilla has the most effective method for getting our attention. She waited for us to come into the kitchen and then she turns her head, looked at us, scratched the kitchen door and meowed. Opening the kitchen door was just what she expected us to do and so we did.
Sammy has another tactic: he meowed and meowed loudly and continuously. He is convinced that his wish is our command, that is the way a male Bengal thinks.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

I am 13 days old now, I have opened my eyes today, and it is about time too. I cannot see very well yet, but I will be soon. For now I can distinguish something. I cannot see mummy but I can smell her and I can feel her warmth when she is close to me. I can hear very well, I can hear mummy coming long before she is actually here.

Deshima's gorgeous snow babies.

Deshima was lazy the last week when she was with young. She was enormous and when she walked, agility disappeared. Surprisingly she easily jumped on the sofa. She demanded my presence constantly and when I left her, she called me out loud. Deshima is half the size of Wasilla but her voice is twice as loud.
