Stella turns One today!

 Time flies! Stella is one year old today!

(Apologies that this video is a bit shaky).

Stella has 3 sisters living in Hong Kong and 1 sister living abroad. We wish them all Happy Birthday! Good health, Great Joy and Happiness in the days ahead!


Elder sister - Pat Pat

Stella

Younger sister - Momo

Despite having cats at home for ages, and most of them came as a kitten, this is the first time, that I experienced for myself what having a kitten is like. (In the past, my parents/helper would train the kitten while I focus on my career). 

Stella is a pretty energetic and smart girl. She's highly camera sensitive, not afraid of loud noise and water. She likes to interact with human and is keen to learn how to do the housework. At times, she would bring a toy, drop it near you, look at you with big wandering eyes, inviting you to play with her. She is a pretty observant girl, watching how her brother and sister moves along the cat tree, and brave and determined enough to challenge them step by step whenever her height and energy allow. She had dropped from the cat tree a few times, but her persistence is unremarkable.

She likes to tease her brother and sister. Surprisingly, Betty is more tolerant with her and sometimes they would end up chasing each other around the house. I suspect Felix is her mentor, as Felix is pretty firm on her and would hit and even bite her when he thinks she misbehave. So sometimes, she is a bit scared of Felix.

Looking ahead, we hope to teach Stella "hand hand". It will not too easy, as she is not crazy with food and she does not often sit up straight either. 

As an aside, shortly after the birthday party, Stella decided to give us a surprise in return. For the first time in our over 20 years of having cats at home, Stella made a breakthrough. Please see for yourself....


Of course, we celebrated this historic moment with lots of firearms (spanking) and fanfare (scolding and lecturing) and her look....


As an aside, amongst the photos taken during the birthday party, we found an interesting one.. What are they doing?

Betty, Stella: Yes, Your Highness?!

    1. Yes. Sometimes she is afraid of Felix who is usually pretty stern on her. Besides, a bit difficult to take good photos with only 2 persons around.... we need more practice.... haha
