Hello, my friends. This is Amanda.

I'm so happy that I got extra extra tasty milk, big grooming, and loving belly rub from my dad as Valentine's day gift :)

Cats in Japan - Cinnamon the Cat

This is Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is my sister's kitty.
She was born in Chicago, and I believe that her mother's name was Cinderella.
My sister and Cinnamon spent few years in Chicago, and then they came back to Japan.
So I guess..... Cinnamon could speak English, Japanese, and Cats fluently... :)

meow?　me??

Cinnamon is very fluffy big lady, and is very much like "princess" kitty, just like any other kitties...
Bad news is.... somehow.... she doesn't really like me so much....
I've been trying very hard to be a friend with her for past decade, but I've only getting big "kitty punches" by return...

you may pet me......

I haven't visited to Cinnamon ye....
I need to visit her, say hello, and try to give her a big hug... if she would let me.... :)

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.

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!

Huh.....
