A Baby Cuddle

Iteung, a female cat that a friend of mine asked me to adopt last year, gave birth to three cute little kittens a few days ago. Here's one of them. I haven't given them names yet. Any ideas?

Tribute to Prince Uwee

This is Prince Uwee, our cat. He turned one today.



This is one of the things he enjoys doing: sitting and contemplating under the potted guava tree in our backyard when it's sunny, searching for an inspiration. He wouldn't do it for long, usually, because he'd usually fall asleep soon. Perhaps he gets his inspiration when he's asleep. He surely gets smarter and wiser everytime he does this.



This was Uwee when he was only a few weeks old and just opened his eyes. Cute, isn't he?

Happy birthday, Prince Uwee. Thanks for giving us so much laughter and happiness. We love you.

Street Documentary: Petty Street Transaction

An old woman is looking at a persian cat offered by a pet street vendor in front of Bandung Indah Plaza (BIP) on Jalan Merdeka (Merdeka Street).

Bandung has quite a few locations where street vendors sell different kinds of pets. BIP area is one of them. The pets sold here are usually cheaper (and of course normally of poorer quality) than those offered by pet shops.

A Cat Family's Story

This is Mawheck, my friend's sixteen-month old male Angoran cat, and the father of Maw Maw, my cat (below photo). Maw Maw is an eleven-month old female. She is not a pure Angoran cat. Her mother is a Siamese cat.



Maw Maw gave birth to three wonderful kittens three months ago when she was only seven month old. One of her kittens is this black and white male I call Uwee. He's my favorite because he was born with coat that resembles a suit and stockings on his feet. He's smart and cute too. Uwee's father is an unknow stray local cat.



Mawheck, Maw Maw, and Uwee are three generations of cats with different race.

According to a book about choosing and taking care of pet cats I have, cats are generally classified into four different types: Short hair, semi-long hair, long hair, and unusual hair. Exotic (a variety of Persian cat with short hair), Chartreux, Russian Blue, Korat, Manx, Japanese Bobtail, and Siamese cats are some of the types that belong to short hair category. The semi-long hair category, meanwhile, would include, among others, the Turkish Angora, Maine Coon, the Sacred Birman and the Ragdoll. The long hair type, according to this small book, only belongs to the Persian.

The most popular cat in Indonesia nowadays is the Persian (both the exotic short type and the long hair type).

Exploring Photography: Shadows

This is Maw-Maw, a Siamese-Angoran cross breed cat. She had just taken her weekly bath and was drying herself in the sun.

This picture is part of my photo exploration project that I would normally post at my other photo blog JAGAT FOTOGRAFI. Today, I post it here for my participation in Photo Scavenger Hunters whose theme this week is "shadows".

Here is another photo of her:
