Namiko Adventures

Happy New Year!!

We have added a second kitten to our household a couple of weeks ago. Namiko now has a kitten playmate named Mango, who is also Namiko's half sister!

I made a new blog site for both Namiko and Mango at http://namikomango.blogspot.com. Unfortunately, this also means I will no longer update this blog site, so please visit the new site when you have a chance!

Both Namiko and Mango await your arrival.

Namiko is doing well these days. I've been so busy with work, I haven't had a chance to update in a while. Gomen ne! Namiko is still a very naughty little kitten and still as demanding of our attention as always. And just as lazy (as her caretaker)...

Namiko still loves to lay around, doing nothing but enjoying the afternoon.


Until something catches her attention from the window... Nani?!

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.
