Meet Our Little Trouble-Makers!

Broken glass, plates, shredded plastics, and papers are quite a sight in our house as of late. We currently have 4 mischievous kittens and a semi-bored mother who is growing older. You have probably met some of them already but the highlight of today is Micky and Sunny, two most mischievous kittens I’ve ever known. It’s almost really hard to take pictures of them because they jump and sniff around. They are never still and especially when I am awake.

Micky is quite special. We didn’t think she would make it alive. She was frail and got sick around a month old. We brought her to the vet and today she’s the most greedy of them all. She would hustle her way just to get the bigger piece of whatever we gave the kitten. She is also the fattest of the other 3 and a lot of people said that she’s the prettiest cat with her thick fur among the others. Whenever my aunt and her family came to visit, they were often amazed that Micky now looks healthier than the other cats.

The thing is, during dinner, these kittens would also wait near us. They were expecting to be fed some snacks. We already gave them food, more than enough to make them extremely fat but even after they were fed, they still want that piece of chicken, crisps or sometimes, tofu that my mom makes. If you leave food lying around, most of the time micky would have snatched it. We already trained her not to be too naughty and there are places they just couldn’t enter but sometimes they still sneaked around.

Sunny is the scratcher. She scratches me a lot and despite I trained her not to, she still did. All the other kittens didn’t do that but she kept doing that to me. I hate when it happens but lately she tried to get too close to me. When she was around 2 months old, Sunny had never visited my room. These days, if my room is open, they would be all over my work room invading every spot, climbing around and finding things they could play with. When all the other kittens were chilling around, Sunny was mostly found climbing the rails of my window and sometimes scratching my chair.

Micky and Sunny are the most active of the other kittens and they fear nothing. They don’t ever fear water and love to get near water and our bathrooms/sink. I find it really funny because most cats would fear water. In the morning when I opened my door, these two cats would rush into my room and meow.

These two somehow also managed to bring down my stored unused keyboard from the 2nd floor to downstairs. I don’t know how they did it but they did and seemed to find joy by doing so. My mom scolds them once in a while and sometimes they act like they understand but after a week, they’ll start again. But I love them and sometimes it seems like they’re talking to you with their meowing. My mom said that once they grow older, they’ll probably be as quiet as their mother.
