And She Said

This is Douglas. He’s the only cat we adopted as an adult. His face is a bit lopsided but he has the most beautiful light green eyes — like very light prasiolite staring back at you. I happened upon him sleeping on the bed belly up today and thought to myself, “How nice it must feel to have a safe space to sleep.” I imagine it’s also nice to have a bed to lie on even if he still prefers the front doorstep or the back patio floor that he’s used to. 🐈 #catnameddoug https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb9PpkjvLfi/?utm_medium=tumblr

So I decided to start dressing up for work because let’s face it, where am I going to wear all this fun stuff I got online, right? (Really, I am just trying to justify buying a new pair of shoes.) #asianauntie https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsvdZYPx7s/?utm_medium=tumblr

We celebrated our dear Pigpen’s birthday (actually his “found day) last November 22. He is the first of our rescue cats and our eldest now at 11 years old (human count). He’s my best friend and my constant. He doesn’t really like much by way of cat food. He only likes kibble served al fresco. So for his birthday, after Ronaldo’s party fail, we decided on pansit and colorful puto for the humans. We love you Piggy! #pigpen #nicestcatintheworld #lifewithcats https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwm6UMBQv6/?utm_medium=tumblr

It started with a picture on a friend’s account. I loved the sheets in the background and asked where to get them. Days later I was forwarded an account that sold the same pattern and more! I immediately ordered two sets and got an extra pillow case for my “bed chair.” (It’s a child’s Japanese seat that I use as a backrest for reading.) Boo helped me put my new sheets on. Swipe to see her “help” out. And yes, ako na naman ang nag adjust. #lifewithcats #fancybeddingsph https://www.instagram.com/p/CWShn7-vUMf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Remembering Circle: A series of photos from 2014. I found him in crouched the middle of the road on Visayas Ave. driving towards QMC. I parked the car hurriedly and ran back, afraid that he might have already been run over. I had to take him to the office first. (Snuck him in my backpack.) Fed and played him everyday after work until he was big enough and the older cats had adjusted to his presence. Circle disappeared one day in 2015. I never knew what happened. It’s increasingly sad that loss, particularly death, reminds us of the things we once loved so much. (Including waistlines.) Run free my darling Circle, wherever you may be. 💫 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVjXnwThqxz/?utm_medium=tumblr

For years this has baffled me. Maybe I should try it. #catphenomenon #pakiexplain https://www.instagram.com/p/CU6e2S0BlMF/?utm_medium=tumblr

I found this cute mini dandelion-like weed on the sidewalk outside a friend’s house. It thrived outside for a while but almost died due to heavy rains. Placed the last remaining plants in my kokeshi girl and now someone needs a haircut. Or not. #longhairdontcare https://www.instagram.com/p/CUtP9jDBYN0/?utm_medium=tumblr

On breaks I take a walk around the house all the way back to the lot behind my aunt’s. Because it’s been raining, moss has been growing everywhere. I was surprised to see different kinds growing in around soI took some and replanted them in this orphaned cup. Here’s to hoping this mini moss garden will not die - *clinks with cup. #mossgarden 💎 Herkimer c/o Winnie https://www.instagram.com/p/CUrX-xBh7iD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello. My name is Ruth and I live near a bar called Route 196. Some people there feed me but There are nights that I am still cold and hungry. It's hard to be a street cat. My friend Ene is helping me find a forever home. To prepare me for my new human, she will be taking me to the vet soon for deworming, vaccination, and spaying. I'm friendly and sweet and I will love you forever. Will you be mine? (at Route 196 Bar)
