222222/2010

Teng-teng...always togetherI wake up this weird time of the night, called "ushi-mitsu doki", or ghostly hour. I catnapped while reading. I always awake from illusion when I fall asleep with the light or my PC on. I guess it's because our brain can't sleep in the least light (so I heard).

Oh! Today it's the CAT DAY in Japan:)) Vive les chats! Omedeto:D

I learn over and over again how I love cats. I learned how much my cats love me and how much they are "cats", while I was sick in bed for these last days. Especially Yoda. I had thought he was just like a dog, but I was wrong. He is the cat of cats.
They were almost always beside/on me, as if they were really concerned about me and to guard me, though Yoda alone was selfish as usual. He roared in the morning, scratched on the books to wake me up, and seeing me remain in futon, ran about and jumped on the petit table where I lay little things and prints. I ended up giving in to him, fixing food & his favorite dried bonito and clearing their litter boxes.

In the Polaroid photo is Tengteng, my loved princess. She was such a princess that she could never eat or use the litter box without me by her side.

電気をつけっぱなしでうたた寝してしまうと、絶対変な時間に目が覚める。丑三つ時。灯りが少しでもあると脳は眠れないそう。そのせいだろうな。読みかけの本、うーん、読み進める気がしない、別の本にしようか。その前に飲み残しのコーヒー飲んでブログでも。お、ちょうど猫の日やし!
水曜以降、仕事以外はひたすら寝て風邪直しにかかっている間に、ネコズとの愛をあらためて確認し幸せ+感謝。そしてヨーダはうちでは一番猫らしい猫だ、ということも思い知る。犬みたいな猫、と言うより、猫の姿をした犬?と思っていたけど。コマとタビが、私が寝ているときはほとんど私のそばにくっついて寝ていたのに対して、ヨーダはおかまいなしだった。ごはんー、トイレー!と吠える&わめく(よそのおうちの猫さんたちはなんであんなに可愛い声なのだろう)。私が起きないのを見ると本を引っ掻く(やめて〜〜〜><)、小物やら置いてある台に乗ってあれこれ落とす踏みつぶす。またわめく。仕方ないから起きてご飯とトイレを支度してやる。うん、仕方ない。ありがとう、私を保たせてくれて。

  2. Oy, you had a cold? It seems you're still have the remnant of it, yes? Yeah, sleep is a great remedy for it. Hope you'll be up and running 100% soon! I take a supplement of Açai berry twice a day, and eat some raw veggies and fruits aside from a cooked meal. It works for me well so far. You need a good nutritious fooooood! ....and lots of time for sleeeeeping...

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

    Unconditional love from pets are superb. I'm learning from my kitty about it. Humans are easy to be distracted by emotions. I wonder whether we are able to attain the art of unconditional love. hmm....

    そなんだー。私もうっかりするとツケッパアケッパなんやけど
    もったいないぞと言い聞かせて、寝る、と決めたらちゃんと消してる。
    ただ他がだらしないからねぇ・・・><
    何かしながらの方が眠れるよね。分かる!
    金曜の晩なんて、風邪ひきで仕事して帰って来て
    こりゃもうアカン、と速攻布団に入ったのに
    結局朝まで眠れんかった!!!><
    ハヨ朝にならんかいな、そしたら本読めるのに、いやいや、今布団から出て電気つけて(枕元にスタンドがないのよ)、本読もかいな、と
    そればっか考えて延々6時間。明るくなったら眠くなったという・・・^▽^;
    ページバリバリ〜〜ん、はホンマまいる!
    羽布団バリバリやられたってもう起きないけど
    本を引っ掻かれたらもう絶対起きる!笑


    @hanameow
    Yeah, but I'm completely fine today:)) Thanks for your concern, Hana-san!
    Wow, raw veggies are good when you've got a cold? I didn't know that, but last night I ate a lot of raw veggies, so it seemed to work from my good condition now!
    Acai berry reminds me that I used to take in a various supplements but it was troublesome. And I felt no good for that habit of mine. I suffered a lot from itch at the change of seasons and pollen fever. I often caught a cold. But this year, since I stopped taking supplements and started to eat yogurt and honey everyday about a year ago, I've been better than those last few years. Maybe I've got over from my pollen fever! I will have to watch myself for some time longer, though;)

    Yes, unconditional love is so hard but the most precious. Wish I could be nicer to people around.

  5. Oh, Cat's Day? Interesting. We don't have that kind of "day" here.... different culture.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yes, it was. And we have a variety of "day"s in Japan. Every day is some memorial day. Today, February 24th is RailWay Strike Day, Cross-Country Skiing Day, to name just a few;D

  7. 猫の日だったの? 犬の日はありますか。 柴犬の日はありますか。笑

    If I ever hurt myself or get upset, Suki always drops what ever she is doing and runs over. She'll sit right up against me until I recover, facing away, as if she's guarding me. Gotta love these animals!

  8. 犬の日もありますよ^^
    日本語では犬の鳴き声はワンワン、だから
    11月1日(11/1, coming from three "one"s;)、ですって。
    Oh, don't ask me why it's not 11/11, or 1/1, or 1/11!:D

    Awww, Suki-chan is such a nice girl!! I heard Shiba is the most loyal, truehearted dog. Seems it's absolutely true;))
