The black pussy

I got inspired by Fristine's blog entry on her twin gingers, so I decided to write something about our resident black pussy, Mimiw.



Actually, she has about about 4 variations to her name, depending on the person calling her:

Mom - Miminggay, Meow-meow, Minggay
Me - Mingming

My brothers & cousin call on her by making some weird meowing sounds too. If you happen to be in the house, it's kinda funny how we all make cat-like sounds just to get her attention. Although, I don't exactly know why everyone just started calling her "Minggay", but I do remember back when I was a kid when everyone else in our apartment compound called a stray cat "Menggay". Perhaps the name stuck without our knowing.

I actually wanted to name her as Luna, because she looks uncannily like this cat, sans the color of her eyes:

So, should I let her cosplay already? XD

Anyway, Mimiw is not actually my cat, but my sister's. I think she got her from one of her friends, & almost everyone in my sister's immediate circle knows that she's really fond of cats. I was actually against the idea of getting another pet because we already had 2 dogs to begin with. But then again, being the hard-headed bitch that she was, my sister went ahead & got the cat anyway.

The good thing about Mimiw is that she came to us already potty trained. I didn't really like cleaning dog poop, & I wasn't exactly thrilled to be cleaning cat shit either. Thankfully, we didn't have to worry about that. The bad thing is that cat litter & cat food is mother effin' expensive.

When Mimiw isn't in one of her bitchy moods, she can be quite cute. Everyday when I get home from work, I'd always find her at the door waiting for me. Thing is, the place isn't always lit, so there were a couple of times when I nearly stepped on her because she blends so well in the dark. Most of the time, she can be really temperamental. I think it's because of the fact that we haven't gotten her spayed yet. If you haven't seen a female cat in heat, trust me, you wouldn't want to know.

I really think we should have the cat altered when my sister comes home from the holidays. I am kinda jealous of Fristine's boys because they're so well groomed. I admit that I still have a lot to learn in taking care of felines, but I hope Mimiw can stick around for a longer while so we can all enjoy having this capricious ball of fluff around.
