Cats on the Loose

My security canine had been busy on patrol before she left for her nanny's, now that she's not around, the annoying felines are on the loose.

All those noise, those cat fights, all the commotion just at our doorstep, just because Yumi wasn't around.

My head has been killing me since this afternoon, fingers crossed its not another ear infection or something, I've been downing loads of pills to help me nap over the pain, and the aspirin did help a lil, thou not a great deal. I'll be away for a couple of days, hope I can get wifi to upload pix for the Christmas holiday.

If not, then here's an advance Merry Christmas to which ever bored soul is reading this entry.

Goodbyes

Finally the time has come to bid farewell to a place I've called home for the past 30 months.
Farewell to newly found friends, Hunter, Elena, Tony, Onur. All very nice peeps and felines. Yes nice peeps, in fact I was asked why I'm starting to adore Elena, simply because I admire her wit, humour and genuineness. She's nice.

The chaos of packing and logistics had somehow kept our mind busy, but once that was over and done with, the slight sadness and unwillingness to leave sunk in.

Yes the 5.30 am flight and transit did take a tow on me as well.
Sitting next to me on my final transit was this very nice and friendly German chap (well I assumed he's German since he departed from Frankfurt and his ascent as well). Being as unsociable as always, I've avoided all small talks and eye contact. I'm drained and moody,... but throughout the seven hours flight, it was inevitable that we finally became 'acquaintance'. Just exchanged experiences from different countries and comments on how bad the inflight meals were before once again bidding farewell.

So many goodbyes in one day.

Hunter

Running my fingers through his thick fluffy snow white coat makes me wanna keep a feline of mine own.
He's vocal, full of personality, and loves to pose for me. What more can I ask for? Its funny how Tony seemed to take Hunter as his hobby, tormenting him by dragging his furry arse around the sofa, doping him with catnip. And strangely, Hunter seemed to enjoy the attention, maybe he gets the kick sinking in his sharp claws and drawing blood from his poor owner.
Had a great afternoon at Tony's, spending most of my time with my kitty host, which might have made me appeared rather anti-social ... what can I say? I prefer animal companionship ... not really so much of a people person.

Alley Cats

Finally got my new lappy heeeheeee.
Strolling down to the river for some snap, came across this group of felines.
Nothing beats a cozy nap after lunch. Unlike humans who leads a hectic life, theirs were simple.
Contentment is indeed a blessing.

Debugging

Meant to upload these pix on a forum which I can't live without, but guess I went in at the wrong timing, admin is carrying out their usual debugging.
Here's the lil kitty which belongs to Sleepy's neighbour. It has some sorta weird routine, meeting up with another cat in the late evenings for a round of cat to cat confrontation. Their usual meet up location has caused much inconvenience to some drivers, right in the middle of the road just after a turn in. Tell me about thrill seekers, these cats are nuts.

Swiss Canine and Feline (Part IV)

Hopefully this is not the last chapter of the swiss canines and felines collection, planning to do a road trip back here between August and September. Sadly still counting down the number of days till we've gotta go.
Went up the mountain for cheese fondue to celebrate our anniversary. Its one of those things on the to do list before we go, missing it would be like not having peking duck when visiting China, or curry from India, Hainese chicken rice from Singapore, Sushi in Japan, ok I'm blabbering. Time to call it a night, will be off to Luzern and later back to Zurich for the fireworks, its National Day in Switzerland, wonder if we'd survived being squashed in the crowd.
