Tulip Kitty

When I came home from school last night, the kitties greeted me on the stairs.  No hissing.  No swatting at each other.  I was impressed.  I came in and put all my stuff down and gave each of them a pet on the head.  The next thing I knew, Moo started walking away.  Tulip heard […]

Miss Tulip was full of love this morning.  When my alarm clock went off, she woke up.  She walked up the side of me and proceeded to lick my face and rub her little head all over mine.  I hit the snooze button and told her “Not yet, Tu.”  So she went back down and […]

Tulip has been on a new feeding schedule for the last few weeks.  I now try to feed her at 7AM and 7PM.  Previously I was feeding her whenever I got up (5AM - 6AM), then making her wait until 10PM for dinner.  Of course she would be starving and cranky by the time 10PM rolled […]

This afternoon I was just bloody tired. I have to go to school tonight so I thought I’d take a nap. I flopped down on the bed and tried to coax Tulip to join me. She just sat in the doorway and gave me the “yeah right” look. Fine!
I fell asleep […]

Tulip is so interactive with us that it’s easy for us to forget her special needs. For example, tonight Eve made a loud noise on her way out of the office. Kitty was close by and was seriously startled by this. She was cowering in the hallway, shrinking away from every little […]

Miss Tulip had some visitors today. Our friends Caprice and Hisako came by for a BBQ and mojitos (although they managed to miss each other). Kitty was very friendly while Caprice was here. She seemed totally comfortable. She sat nearby while we were eating, and even let Caprice pet her at […]

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that Tulip has been a lot sweeter lately. She’s really starting to settle into being a nice cat. Unless provoked, she doesn’t bite anymore. She still doesn’t love being petted, but will actually come and seek it out in small doses. I love her little wake-up routine. […]

It was as hot as the blazes in our house over the weekend. I happen to enjoy the heat, but I felt pretty bad for Tulip. She was slow roasting all weekend long. She was very good natured about it though. Mostly she lounged around on the wood floors, trying to […]

Tulip had a nice weekend I think. Friday night we came home with a little treat of fish scraps from the sushi bar. We diced up a little raw tuna for her, which she proceeded to inhale. Then she contentedly licked her lips and washed her face for the next 10 minutes.
Saturday […]

I came home from my vacation with the flu. Yesterday morning I couldn’t even drag myself off the bed. Miss kitty curled up in the blankets to watch over me. She nestled up against me all morning while I faded in and out of sleep. In the afternoon I mustered enough […]
