猫のいる生活

Yodaと暮らし始めて約３週間。
ど こに行くにもトコトコ後ろをついてきて、コンピュータの前でemailを書けば、一緒になってkeyboardの上に乗ってくるし、新聞読もうと思えば、 新聞の上にどっかりと寝転ぶし、、、あぁ、、ちょっと一人の時間が欲しいなぁ。と思ったりするけれど、可愛さに負けて結局一緒に遊ぶことになる。
親ばか度も一層上がり、携帯の待ち受け画面にYodaの写真を設定し、会う人会う人に見せびらかしてしまう。そんな自分にちょっとあきれる。。こんなハズでは、、。

先週末は５冊ぐらい、猫関連の本を読んで勉強した。一つの本は、手作り食を推奨している本で、早速試してみた。
といっても、まだ子猫なので、基本的には肉をやり、ちょぴっと違うもの（野菜とか果物とか）も混ぜてあげただけだけど。
肉も生でやってみたり、加熱してあげてみたり。食いつきのいい方で試そうと思ったけど、今のところ何でもガツガツ食べている。
６ヶ月ぐらいまでで、食習慣が決まってしまうというので、今はとりあえず、いろんなものをあげて偏らないようにしようかなぁ、、と思ってる。
こないだは、馬刺をあげてみた。自分も一度も食べたことないから、もしYodaが食べなかったら、私が食べようっと思って買ったのだけど、もう、30秒でペロッ。私の口には入りませんでした。

先日、Naoが猫がみるDVDを貸してくれたから、早速試してみた。
結構見てたよ。。。



興味津々、、。


テレビの真ん前まで来ちゃった。。


さぁ、今度は天井まで届くタワーと、カメラ付きの自動給餌機でも買うかな〜。
（もう猫バカ道まっしぐら、、でしょ？）

Finally

I always wanted to get a cat.
But I was a bit afraid of commitment :-P and also even when I was determined to get one, it has been unlucky and there were a few times that I called the people who wanted to give away cats but the cats that I wanted were already taken by someone else.

Last Thursday, gege and I were thinking about going to the Apple store just to check what they have.
I wasn’t thinking about cats at all, but we took a different road from what we usually take and just saw a sign for a pet shop. If we were in a hurry, we probably wouldn’t have stopped there, but it was a holiday afternoon and we had time, so we stopped by without any expectations.
However.... we met her.... A cutie who is about 2.5 months old, has beautiful eyes and a short nose and intelligent forehead. (chotto oyabaka kana...)

Anyway, the owner of the pet shop was sneaky enough to let us play with this kitten and of course, we had to take her. :-P But I’m glad that I took her :) She is the best cat that I’ve ever seen!

I gave her two names so far. Yoda and Racco. Yes, Yoda is coming from Star Wars and it’s probably not good for a girl’s name... but her face looks like Yoda sometimes when she is in a thoughtful mood. And “Racco” comes from raccoon and that is because her fur looks like raccoon’s. I’ll give her more names and see which one is the best.

Now, Racco is sleeping on my lap and I can’t move. (I wanted to upload some cuter photos of her that I took today, but can’t get my camera... )
Since Racco came to my house, I’m learning to be more patient... I can’t really move much while she is sleeping on my lap or chest. She nibbles my earlobes and purr right next to my ears when she goes to sleep at night, but I let her do that even though it’s hard for me to go to sleep like that. If she is happy, I’m happy :)
Hmm... I’m spoiling her.
