New Tabby Times Headers!!!!

You may have already noticed, but I have recently changed my "Tabby Times" header :)

A very nice friends, Maggy, Zoey, and their human friend Ann at Zoolatry are SO generous enough to offer me and Amanda to make super cute banner/header!!

They worked on 3 different kinds(wow!!), and they are all looking super super cute!!!
I think especially the green one really matches to Amanda's beautiful green eyes, and looks just so lovely :)
But... I love them all!!!




The Zoolatry Girls,
Again, Thank you so much for making such a lovely headers for us!!
Amanda looks very cute in her new headers :)

Snow Monkeys

Hello my friends!!
I'm sorry that I was not able to post my blog for past couple days....

Guess where I was visiting to..... ?!?!?!?!?!?!



I went to see "Snow Monkeys" !!!!
Snow monkey is wild Japanese Macaques, and a terrestrial old world monkey species native to Japan.
They have become notable for their winter visits to the spa at Jigokudani Monkey Park.
HERE, is the official website of Snow Monkey Park.

Toasty.....

I was very amazed that those monkeys are so friendly and are not scared with human at all!
They would just walk around right in front of you, and even stared at your face.
Oh,, one of monkeys actually pulled my husband's sleeves to get an attention too!!
I almost wanted to hug them so bad!!
I thought monkeys are so funny to watch, and got very rich facial expressions...
We spent almost 4 hours at the park, taking pictures and just watching the "monkey drama".




Oh,,, sorry my furry friends to tell you this... but.....
"NO CATS" are allowed at the monkey park... :(
It' is for your safety,, my kitty friends.
Because those fluffy monkeys could get pretty aggressive if they want to!!

So... when you are coming back....???

"Tama" is one of super idol kitty in Japan, and very popular.
Tama was selected as station master at Kishi Station in Japan in 2007.

Tama the Station Master

As station master, her primary duty is to greet passengers.
The position comes with a cool stationmaster's hat, instead of a salary the railway provides Tama with free cat food!!!
Wow, what a wonderful job!

You may find out more detail information from Wikipedia, please click, HERE.

I think I'm cuter..... though

Huh.....
I wonder I should start paying a salary to Amanda for her modeling job....

I made it very safely to Japan last night!!

Hooray!!

I'm still very very exhausted from my 12 hours flight, and suffering with my jet lag.. but it's nice to be back home :)

This post will be very quick and short, but I would like to introduce you our family's watch"cat", Gon, today :)

Welcome back home, Hoshi!!

Gon has been always sitting by the front door, gurding and welcoming back me and my family all the time.
And of course, welcoming our guests too. :)
He is definitely a very hard worker, 24/7.
I love his big smile too!!!

Amanda sounds missing us....... I miss her too :(
9 more days to go, Amanda!

DJ Panda

Hello, my friends.
This is Amanda, but you may call me Panda. That's my nickname.
Since my mom is still flying to Japan, I will be hosting "Tabby Times" today.

So this is what I did earlier this morning...
Yes, I took a nap!!
It was okay.... I think I could sleep better though...

zzzzz

My mom told me that our nice friend will be coming over to play with me later this afternoon.
She is very nice lady, and I think she likes me :)
It's still early, and very quiet here...
So I think I will take more nappy to charge up my energy for this afternoon.
I don't want to be looked too tired when our friend come by, I think it's very rude... right?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I'm going to dream about getting a lot of "made in Japan" treats and toys!!
I think those must be very high quality and high-tech!!

ZZZZZ ZZZZZZZzz

See you later!

Cats On Tuseday - Hoshi's Vacation....

So..... I have been having a very very difficult time talking to Amanda past few days... about "the THING"....

The thing is, her mom, which is "ME", is going on her vacation, and she will be gone for a month....


So Sorry,,, Amanda....
Yes, I said... "I will be gone for a month. "



Yes, Amanda.... It is "REALLY"...... :(
I know.. I know..

Me and my husband are going to visit my family in Japan, and I will be staying there whole February...
Although my husband will return to the U.S. earlier, and Amanda still will be staying at home all by herself for 10 days.....

SIGH

I'm very lucky to have a very wonderful friend to take care of her while we are gone.
She is a very trusted friend. Yet.....
I'm SO nervous and worried about Amanda, leaving my little kitty alone for such a long time.... :(

I hope Amanda won't get too upset with me, nor forget about me once I come home in March...


Oh... my dear friends, I may not be able to visit you for next couple days or so....
But please, please, please, don't forget about us!!!!

I will be posting about my trips, kitties in Japan, and of course Amanda even while I'm on vacation!!

Stay tune!!!

Hoshi

CATS ON TUESDAY!

For more Cats on Tuesday, Please visit to Gattina.

Fleece Coaster for Kitty

I made another blanket for Amanda the other day
She already has a kitty quilt that I made for her before, but I thought she can use something toasty to snuggle with too :)

Since I had stash of fabric scraps to use, I picked polka-dot(yeah,, again, my favorite polka-dot...) and cream color fleece, and finished with the simple nine-patch quilt design :)
Super easy, super simple, but pretty!

my butt is so toasty........

I also made a matching pillow, and she is loving it!!!


Does your kitty have their favorite toasty blankie to snuggle with in chilly winter season???
