Seems like a lot is going on… I’m in the process of buying a house and at times it feels a bit overwhelming. (I’ll create a post about this later.) Whenever I had a big decision to make, I would turn to my dad and see how he feels about it. Lately, I’ve been thinking about my dad and just wish I can ask him for suggestions. I’m also trying to get used to not seeing Chi-Chi in the garage or front garden… *sigh* …Sometimes I just don’t like changes.
My Dad and Chi-Chi
Chi-Chi
(1989 – November 9, 2005)
I’m sadden to find that our cat of 16 years, Chi-Chi, has passed away.
I found Chi-Chi on a sidewalk near a friends house way back in 1989. She must have only been a few days old because she was the tiniest kitten that I’ve even seen. I remember bringing her home and feeding her milk from a sponge.
In March 1990, Chi-Chi had a liter of six kittens: Blacki, Rusty, Panda, Gold, Snowball and Dusty. She was then immediately fixed. We gave all the kittens away except for Blacki, who later had a liter which includes my present cat ‘Lil Blacki.

Chi-Chi (also known as Ming-Ming) was a pretty feisty cat. She was not a big cat, but she guarded our house against intruding cats (and dogs) and left us gifts (mice) to show us how much she cares. She enjoys being outside in the garden and usually greets me when I get home from work. She loves being carried and petted and immediately starts to drool when you do so. When no one’s around to pet her, she would rub her body against our dog Kelly’s cage so Kelly can lick her.
I’m going to miss having Chi-Chi around when I’m outside in the garden. I think I will take off of work, so my mom and I can have a nice burial for her. May Chi-Chi rest in peace.
