Namiko Adventures

The window to the outside world is one of Namiko's favorite hangout spots. I'm not sure which she enjoys the most: watching the birds or cars drive by as her eyes dart side to side, sniffing the exotic smells carried to her flaring nostrils by the wind, or listening to the unusual sounds of the neighborhood.

Gazing out the window at her leisure...


What's that in the sky?!


"I think I spotted a bird!", her intensely focused eyes seemed to convey.


Alas, no real bird catching for sweet Namiko, just some furry stuffed play toys. I can just imagine the feline indignation.

Namiko loves playing on the stairs. Many times, she would hide right behind a step, spying all events happening above her. When discovered, Namiko surreptitiously crawls away, sideways. What a strange kitty!

Namiko loves to sit yoga-style a lot. We just can't get enough of it! Day or night, she never stops giving us enjoyment. Here's the latest video of her, just relaxing one morning.



I like to tickle her tummy when she's sitting like this.

Namiko is the only cat in the house. Thus, her playmates comprise of only us, the human companions. As a young kitten, she used to be content playing by herself with her numerous toys. But now, she absolutely requires that someone interact with her as she plays with her toys, yikes!

Becoming quite a high maintenance kitty, dear Namiko!


Looking towards the heavens for guidance, Namiko offers no comment.


I'm quite tempted to get another kitty as a companion for her, but worry about how she will react to sharing a house with another feline. Will Namiko be generous and peacefully share her territory?? I hope so...

Summer is around the corner but the heat is already here. Poor Namiko has been shedding fur like there's no tomorrow in preparation for the seasonal change.

Here she is hiding under a stand, trying to stay cool.


Hot weather + dense fur = one unhappy Namiko.
