Namiko Adventures

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.

Namiko loves to sniff and explore new items in the house. Such is the case with some clothes I just bought. Leaving new clothing on a chair is just asking for Namiko to test out how well it can be sat on.

Case in point:


Looking mighty comfortable there, naughty Namiko!


As a sign of generosity, Namiko leaves her furry goodness (i.e. cat hair) behind on the pants.

Namiko once again finds my messenger bag the center of intrigue. I won't be too surprised if one day the lump I feel in my bag is not my laptop but a curious little wayward kitty.

Every once in a while, Namiko would join us on the sofa while we watch TV. This is one of those special times.

Nice and relaxed on the sofa next to me.


Her gaze fixed on the TV, as images fly across the screen.


Soon she'll become Namiko the movie guru!

Namiko is a shy cat who runs away from unfamiliar faces. It is almost expected of her to run away when we have visitors coming to the house. Lately, however, Namiko seems to have developed more courage and would not only let the others pet her (while she lays stretched out on her back), but also to pick her up and carry her around for a bit!

What has changed, dear Namiko?! More confidence? Maturity?


"I'm a grown lady now, no more shy girl!" her confident self seems to say.


Oh how fast the young ones grow up now-a-days...
