Choosing a free video hosting service

This video of Pepper was taken with my cell phone. I know the resolution isn’t good, I resized it so that there is no pixellation. It’s really just a sample and not meant to be a stand-alone video entry. I’ve been checking out the available free video hosting services out there, comparing the speed at [...]

And then there were none

Six kittens. One stillborn. Five born alive. None left.
They were too small. We’ve been through so many cat births in the house and we had never seen newborn kittens as small as Pepper’s. My first theory was that they were born too soon. Considering that Pepper has access to the gardens, and stray male cats [...]

The pet situation is fast turning into a nightmare

Remember that time when we thought we lost Pepper because she was gone for two nights? That was a little over three months ago. Pepper never went away like that again and we were happy. Just a week ago, Alex commented on how Pepper has gained a lot of weight after the noticeable weight loss [...]

Our cat Pepper will be on TV!

On December 15th, Saturday, our cat Pepper will appear in Jessica Soho’s program on GMA Channel 7. The show will start at 9.00 p.m. but Pepper will not be on for the entire hour. She isn’t that famous. Yet. LOL
Smile, Pepper, you’re a star!

We lost another cat

Sam’s cat, Bebe, gave birth to two kittens. But we lost Pepper, Sam’s Persian cat.

She learned to scale the fence, went out last night and hasn’t come back. Stray cats don’t get second glances around here but a pure breed cat can be sold.
I feel so sorry for Sam. She refuses to go to [...]

Cats are hunters by nature

When we were new to having cats in the house, it always bugged us why, despite being fed regularly and substantially, the cats would still hunt down the frogs in the garden. Then, we learned that cats hunt not necessarily out of hunger but simply because that’s what they are by nature — hunters.
I was [...]

Our kitten, Salt, is missing

Less than a month ago, I posted an entry in the cat and kitten blog about our male Persian kitten’s penchant for roving.
An ironing woman, Michelle, comes in three times a week. When I opened the gate for her last Tuesday, the male Persian kitten, Salt, snuck under the gate. He was coming in, not [...]

Pretty kitten

She’s everyone’s darling. She even captivates visiting friends. We named her Pepper but call her Pretty and she responds.
