AM I EXPECTING AGAIN?

Can you all remember the day when Mama Jessica went missing for 4 days in April 2008? We have searched the whole neighborhood then and could not find her but it took Papa Jonathan a matter of hours to bring her back. She was thin and tired from then until now, sleeping most of the time of the day. Recently, I found her to be more energetic and getting fatter than normal and she will go hunting for cat nips almost daily. It did not struck me that she could be expecting again until few days’ ago when I found hunting for new sleeping places in the house. She even tore down the netting that I had put up earlier at one of my storage areas which I have set up to prevent her from delivering her babies there earlier.

I have checked her bloated tummy tenderly but could not find any new movements. She has not call out for that “distress alarm” ever since she was back. She tends to get quite moody at times and will whack off his hubby and kids whenever they got too near to her but within minutes she would feed them milk. Even the poor stray twins were chased off the territory. Luckily they still do come back for their daily meals when she was back in the house.

No matter how many times I have checked her tummy for the last one week or so, I felt nothing. She would just sleep there and enjoy the rubbing as if nothing has ever happened. What do you think? Is she pregnant or something is wrong inside her tummy? Please do let me know if you know.

BIRTH DATE ANALYSIS

The triplets, Janice, Jayson and Justin celebrated their 5th month birthday yesterday but Jeremy was kind of moody because he was picked up from the streets without me knowing when he was born. So, I threw the questions to the readers to decide on Jeremy’s birth date. Many proposed that he should celebrate together with the triplets but Katztales suggested that I should check through the CatScope. I was dumbfounded! The results were extremely accurate. So accurate that I need to read a few times just to confirm them.

However, Jeremy could never share the same birth date as the triplets on 4th January 2008 as a Capricorn kitty as his characteristics and behaviors are totally out in the horoscope. So the next possible date would be two weeks before which falls on 20th December 2007. He is a Sagittarius. The result again was so accurate. Gosh… now I have to remember additional 3 dates a year to celebrate with them. Haha! But due to the majority of the comments favoring that Jeremy should celebrate on the same day as the triplets, I guessed I have to made it so but he has to remain as a Sagittarius. :P

Here are the results that I had obtained for Papa Jonathan and Mama Jessica as well as Panther. Did the writer read straight from my mind or it was just coincidental? Please note all the highlighted red wordings and you will know the J Family members better.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19)
BIRTHDAY KITTIES: JANICE, JAYSON, JUSTIN
More serious and deliberate than most, it's likely that the Capricorn cat will live to a ripe old age. Why? Well, for one, there's no risk-taking behavior going on with this kitty. The Capricorn feline will plod along, amusing itself by watching the other animals as they play to their heart's content. What keeps this creature happy is helping out and working hard. Need someone to attend to those pesky mice? The Cap cat will do it daily. Stable and serene, the Cap feline will appreciate a comfortable home and a happy family. These animals won't need much exercise, either -- for them, work is exercise! This is a cat that really loves to feel needed, so don't be reluctant to dole out those chores. Very self-controlled, the Cap kitty is easy to house-train and will know the importance of following the family rules. Self-reliant as well, this is a cat that will do just fine back home while Mom, Dad, and the kids take a family trip. While the Cap cat doesn't need much touch or love, it does like to be neat and clean, so brush them regularly. Watch their bones and teeth, too, as these areas may require special attention.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)
BIRTHDAY KITTY: JEREMY
Does your Sagittarius kitty seem to be having a good time all the time? That's because this is the happy-go-lucky cat of the zodiac, always playful and jumping around and letting their master know just how delighted they are to be in their home. Extremely energetic as well, this is a feline that would much rather be outdoors, climbing trees and catching birds. This is an animal that can't stand to be cooped up, so don't lock it in inside if at all possible. What the Sag cat excels at is being a scout. That trusty mouse-catcher? A Sag, for sure! Bring your Sag kitty with you while you're gardening or having a bbq, as they are sure to enhance the experience. As Sagittarius is the sign of freedom, be sure that your kitty has plenty of room to roam. These animals like to wander off and enjoy getting plenty of exercise while they're at it. That said, they will always remember that they're part of a family unit, so you needn't worry that they won't return from those nocturnal adventures. Finally, the Sag cat is great with kids, so expect a lot of cuddling!

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)
BIRTHDAY KITTIES: JONATHAN & JESSICA
Ready for a workout? That's exactly what you'll get from your Aries kitty since this is the most energetic animal who is sure to keep you fit. The Aries feline will do whatever it wants and offer plenty of meowing. Not very good behavior, eh? Oh well, this cat is such a cutie that you're bound to overlook that lack of good manners. Friendly and sweet, your Aries kitty will be in heaven when company comes over, the better to show off its favorite tricks. This is also an assertive sign for a cat, and can be expected to protect your home (as much as that's possible)! While your Aries furball may appear a bit compulsive at times, it's only because they are so action-oriented and revel in a fun-filled day of play, so be sure to let them roam. Competitive, too, your Aries kittycat will want to be the king or queen of the neighborhood, jumping farther and faster just to show everyone how special they are. Keep showing this creature new games (hopefully with new toys!), and their love will be limitless. As Aries rules the head, eyes, and ears, be mindful of these areas on your favorite feline.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21)
BIRTHDAY KITTY: PANTHER
You may need to pull back a bit after a stunt of yours goes awry and it may be pretty embarrassing! That's okay, though, because you can recover from almost anything and should be back in action soon. The lone ranger of the kitty kingdom has arrived! The Scorpio cat is more independent than most, but along with that self-sufficiency comes a strong-willed, almost stubborn demeanor. That said, this feline will be extremely loyal once comfortable in the family. Hey, that's true grit. Mysterious as well, the Scorpio kitty could wander off for days in search of adventure yet will always return. What pet would cross three states only to come back to its master in the end? Surely a Scorpio! The Scorpio cat is also emotional and intuitive and can easily sense when things aren't right. If their master is upset, they will surely stay close, the better to comfort you in their own way. Call them nosy? Well, maybe, as this is the kind of kitty that needs to know what's going on, whether it's family dynamics or the contents of the neighborhood garbage cans. Beware of what this feline might bring in the door! The Scorpio cat does things its own way. Simply put, this is one unfussy animal that just wants to find a place to call home.

WE HAVE GROWN UP

Errr… I am not sure about the growing up part but to me they are all still kids. In fact, I think I am growing old with more white hair popping up here and there. You want to know why? Just ask the kids. They have been coming up with new and weird tricks that not even their parents would think of. The latest stunt of playing with dish washing sponge almost landed me in hospital. Gosh… if they want to help me with the cleaning of the floor, they should learn how to use the mop! Don’t tell me that this Daddy has to wear crash helmet even in the house? Haha…

Now, here’s what Janice has been doing trying to claim her property. Sit back and enjoy the show.

Oh oh… it sounded like someone is not happy with Janice, Jayson and Justin celebrating their 5th month birthday. Poor Jeremy… I think I ought to set a date for his birthday. I could not decide as he is of a mixed breed and his size is almost as big as Mama Jessica now. To me, I felt that he should be 2-3 weeks older than the triplets. Should I set his birth date earlier or should I just let him share the same birth date with the triplets. Any ideas? Please do let me know in the comment box. Thanks.

CATSOPHERE#11 – HOUSE OF PANTHERS

I was not able to come out with the CATSOPHERE magazine for last week as I was not in town to review some of the interesting blogs around the blogosphere. It seemed many things happened during my absence and most cats were busy preparing for Karl & Ruis’s Wedding in space.

As for this week, Panther has appeared on the front cover proving that when you have faith and trust in someone, miracles can happen. Panther had a hard life having two major accidents in his life and he proved to us that nothing’s impossible to stop him from staying alive. He has gone back home to the mechanic’s place living his life as before. Both of us are in the midst of setting up safety measures to stop him from facing more danger in his life.

Do you know that sometimes it takes more than a dozen of roses to court a girl, even on her birthday? That’s what Pepi did. Pepi had to add in more things in the gift package to impress her. Fish is surely a must :P Drop by to see what Pepi has been up to? :P

Have you ever wonder what will be the best way to replace old furniture when you are bored with them? Riley will show you how it is done properly with his experience with wood. Catch up with his advice. :P

There is a new super heroine in town. She can climb up anywhere effortlessly that way too high for a bean to reach. She is none other than Luna, the Supercat. Jump right over to catch her in the act now :)

Mickey got a shock when he saw a pair of earrings lying on the table. All that was in his thought was that his Mom would be taking him for ear piercing soon. Is that what the story is about? Why not check up with him to find out the story behind the earrings.

Now comes the best part of the magazine this week – The Wedding of the Century between Karl and Ruis. The reception was a success with both the couple exchanging their vows in space. The wedding was also a grand one with so many animals from all over the universe attended. Wow! Just look at their marriage certificate being signed personally by Star Fleet Command Captain, Cpt. Kathryn Janeway herself. Check out what they will be doing honeymooning in Ruis’s hometown Netherlands until 12 June 2008.
