Toc-Toc is just one of the prettiest cats in the CARA shelter. She has a penchant for climbing high places. Toc-Toc is always on top of everything, literally.
Isn't it cute how just like human beings, cats also develop their character?
It's always best to adopt than buy from pet shops. CARA is having another adoption event next month. Please feel free to drop by.
The part of the house where our dining table is remains cool when the rest is baking in the summer heat. Booni likes this place very much lately.
Actually there are other reasons. The TV is in front of him. The fan blows in his direction. This location also provides easy access to banana time. Very strategic!
I do laundry with my favorite kitties: the real ones and the Hello Kitty Downy that keeps my clothes soft and fragrant. Doing laundry is a tedious task but I enjoy it because there seems to be a contest among the cats on who will own the laundry bag.
Coco is almost always the first one to inspect it and make it her bed.
And as soon as Coco leaves, Hiro takes over.
But she came back to claim the laundry bag!
And so they start to annoy each other.
Big sister Creamo joins in on the fun.
And when the two females got carried away chasing each other, Hiro is left with the bag.
Hiro left, and two crazies found their way over to the bag.
And.. Creamo wins!
Today's post is about a rabbit's pouty mouth. Rabbit owners and cute enthusiasts rave over such a thing. My niece shared me this picture she found online:
And really, I had to look for pictures of Booni's pouty mouth.
I'm surprised this one is the same camera angle (without the veggie).
There goes our daily squee. :)
One sad day, my evening plans were cancelled due to an unforeseen circumstance- I got lost in the subway twice. Maybe not unforeseen since I'm quite known for getting lost everywhere. So I was walking with the saddest face ever (even after some retail therapy), until I saw the Hello Kitty cafe. I immediately remembered there's a pet cafe beside it!
Straight ahead I went. I was alone and it was dark. I admit I was desperate for a doze of cute.
There were so many signs to help me with my directional disability.
Once you go in, you're supposed to take your shoes off. But you can wear these colorful rubber slippers.
The rules are pretty clear. Don't bother the sleeping cats. Don't feed them random stuff. Don't bully them in any way. No flash. A big jar of sanitizer is also there so you have clean hands in case you want to pet them.
The fee is 8000 Korean won with a free drink.
I ordered a caramel macchiato from the owner, who is a very a nice young lady. She said she has about twenty cats in the cafe.
You can put your belongings inside the lockers. But halfway through putting my stuff inside, the famous pink bag was immediately attacked and owned. The others snooped to see my loot and my cotton candy.
My coffee arrived and it was time to explore the place.
Cats Living is a very homey place. Heck, I wish my room is this cool.
A bunch of fluffy cats were sleeping on top of each other. So cute.
Some customers post their photographs from the cafe on the wall. Some even put up their drawings.
I needed cute and I got it alright. Perhaps more than I could ever ask for.
When I was about to leave, they took it upon themselves to attack my stuff. I wish I coud take any of them home.
The whole experience was very pleasant. It turned out to be a lovely night and I went home happy.

Hongdae, Seoul, Korea
Hongik University Station, Exit 9
No need to scratch your eyes. You really saw a salesdog.
I was walking around Hongdae with nowhere to go until I came across this big Husky. If you try to Google him, he is quite known as the giant cotton candy dog of Hongdae. :)
I hope giant cotton candy dog also gets paid for his hard work. I think the owner can't leave his pet alone so he just brings him to work instead. It was a pleasant surprise after a long day of walking.
And as soon as I got back to the hotel, my nephew and I happily attacked the pink cotton candy until midnight.
* The signs in Korean say that one shouldn't touch, feed, ride or harrass the dog. The owner will not be responsible if cotton candy dog bites someone.
I was out on a mission last Tuesday to find a cat cafe called Giocat located around Hongdae. This was the second time I tried since I couldn't find it the day before. A bit sad and a bit tired, I gave up. And then as I'm walking back to the hotel, I saw a white, fluffy dog wearing a hoodie (it was very cold that day) run past me. Oh my!! I followed the dog and the lady around and then politely asked if I can take pictures of them. The lady agreed much to my delight. She calls this cute West Highland White Terrier - Ria.
Ria probably likes the atmosphere of Hongdae. The streets that go up and down like little concrete hills serve as good exercise. There are artsy shops all around and friendly owners eager to welcome him.
One of the best things I like about Seoul is how they love pets. With that said, there are more pictures to come. :)
I wonder if Ria was named after the dog in Akazukin Chacha. They kind of look alike too!
I recently changed my room's layout. I repositioned everything that the ever curious bunny took it upon himself to do an inspection.
Here he is on top of my cofee table and on top of some papers I needed for a meeting.
He checked it out a couple of times and rubbed his chin around the corners to declare ownership.
He licked the bedframe for some reason.
And when he got tired, he positioned himself beside the chair with a bossy face which could only mean "Pet. Me. Now."
Cats like pink. Ok, I made that up. They certainly like any new cozy thing within their reach. In this case, it's my bag.
Bow Wow and I aren't exactly friends. He would make sure he barks at me at least once when I visit. Automatically, his human would scold him for being a meanie. Sorry, Bow Wow, I don't discriminate. You'll see more of me taking stolen shots of you. Even with those fierce eyes of yours.
I wonder if I'll meet a dog named Pitbull since I already met a dog named Snoop and of course, Bow Wow right here.
