… that’s what the family cat gives me. She’s actually just a kitten, about four months old. I found her mewing, frightened and hungry under my bed last summer. The mother must have gone in through an open window. I kept it ajar for a few days hoping she’d be back, but never did. Can I call her a bitch for that?
Anyway, we were able to sustain her with milk and left-overs… now she only eats fish, corned beef, and white bread. She skips the rice.
It just dawned on me that she could be albino… I hope she isn’t, and I don’t believe she is. When not playing catfights with me, or scratching the laminate off the furniture, she loves to laze around in a small sunny spot at the back porch. Which albinos must not be allowed to do, for the risk of developing cancer. She also has blue eyes, and I read most of them are deaf. So far, she responds when called by name. Ming-ming, as wanted by the boss of the house, my nephew.
I don’t know what else to look for, what to expect, how to properly care for her… maybe I should consult a vet? Ang taray ah! Pusang gala!? May pa-vet vet pa?

oh. cats.
unfortunately, i’m allergic. they kinda trigger my asthma. hehe
yeah! initially, i thought i was allergic, too. i was having a long standing rhinitis during the first few weeks we had her, and the blame was on the poor kitten. but then eventually, we were able to rule her out.

She looks so immaculately regal. Parang rabbit. Haha.
hehe… the pictures don’t do justice to how pretty she actually is.
