Pickles's Little House~

Mellow is a post I'll be doing from time to time (mostly on Sundays) just to show off my cats a little~

I realize I haven't shared pictures of Ripple and Pickles in awhile so here's a little photo series of Pickles in his house~ Originally my parents bought the house for Ripple but he refuses to use it so they gave it to me to see if Pickles will use it and he does! He loves going in there to take naps ;)
 

 

 

 

 

I share more pictures of Pickles on my Instagram and my other cat Ripple has his own Instagram account ;)

Ripple Loves Book Swag!

 

Mellow is a post I'll be doing from time to time (mostly on Sundays) just to show off my cat, Ripple, a little bit ;)

Today's Mellow post is a little different because Ripple's showing off some book swag! I received these swag from authors to help them promote their books. I'll be handing some out to my local bookstore hopefully soon. Ripple wanted to perfect his modelling look so I let him practice with these pretty bookmarks ;)

 

What do you guys think? Canada's Next Top BookCat Model? XD

If you'd like to see more pictures of him, he's on Instagram :)

Dangling Paws~

Mellow is a post I'll be doing from time to time (mostly on Sundays) just to show off my cat, Ripple, a little bit ;)


So when Ripple sits, he likes to dangle his paws/legs over the side. I'm sure all cats do this but when Ripple does it, it just looks hilarious. Maybe because he's got such a lazy facial expression and a big belly so it looks extra funny? Or is he just too big lol!



Ripple is on Instagram if you'd like to see more of him!

Sharky Po

Last Saturday was Halloween and my sister had fun dressing Ripple up in his shark costume~ It was drop dead adorable so I wanted to share the pictures with you all!

What do you guys think he should be next year? :D

Ripple is on Instagram if you'd like to see more of him!

Hello Little Cousin~

Mellow is a post I'll be doing from time to time (mostly on Sundays) just to show off my cat, Ripple, a little bit ;)

Today I won't be sharing any pictures of Ripple. Instead, I want to introduce you all to his little cousin, Coco!

Coco is actually the reason we decided to get a cat. A few summer's back when my family visited my uncle's family, we met Coco. I walked into the door and saw this furry orange rug which was in fact Coco lol. Up until then, I've not had any prolonged contact with cats so it was fun getting to live with one. He stole our hearts so when we got home, we decided we wanted a cat too. This led us to visiting SPCA shelters and to eventually adopting the bundle of joy that is Ripple~

Coco's got more of a feisty side compared to Ripple but he's still as adorable as hell. We like to call him the little lion ;)

So what do you think of Coco? Ripple's on Instagram :)

Sleeping Poses Part 2

Mellow is a post I'll be doing from time to time (mostly on Sundays) just to show off my cat, Ripple, a little bit ;)


I haven't shared any Ripple pictures on the blog in awhile so I thought I'd go ahead and do a post! I'm pretty sure I've shared his sleeping poses once before but here are some more funny ones ;)


He loves sleeping on my legs....

All curled up~

So comfy~

I think he may be modelling in his dream???

Please excuse all the tummy out on display lol! If you'd like to see more pictures of him, he's on Instagram :)

Sleeping Poses

Ripple loves to sleep and when he sleeps he ends up in funny positions. I have hundreds of pictures of him and at least one third of them are all of him sleeping haha~ Here are a few funny but cute ones :D

There might be a sleeping poses part two since I really have A LOT of sleeping pictures of him lol!

If you'd like to see more pictures of him, he's on Instagram :)

Little Bugger

Mellow is a post I'll be doing from time to time (mostly on Sundays) just to show off my cat, Ripple, a little bit ;)


Before we adopted Ripple, I thought only dogs get extremely affectionate. Obviously I was wrong. Cats want to snuggle too and they'll bug the hell out of you in doing so! This is what happens when my sister is the only one home and she's trying to study. We call him little bugger even though he's not so little ;)


"You don't get to study."

"Ya I'm looking at you."

"Please play with me...."

He changed position three different times! I couldn't stop laughing when she sent these pictures to me hehe~

If you'd like to see more pictures of him, he's on Instagram :)

Curious Ripple~

Mellow is a post I'll be doing from time to time (mostly on Sundays) just to show off my cat, Ripple, a little bit ;)


Ripple is such a curious kitty! I know it's just their nature but it's absolutely hilarious and adorable! Every time we bring home something or unwrap something, he's lurking around waiting for the chance to get close. If we turn away for just a second he'll be right there by your side sniffing, pawing, chewing or licking the thing. We've caught him in some pretty hilarious moments and I just wanted to share them ;) 


"Are these for me?"

"What is that?"

"Mario's mine!"

"Can I play too?"

If you'd like to see more pictures of him, he's on Instagram :)

Ripple in a Box~

 

Today I thought I'd share what happens to the boxes after I get my books. As you can see, Ripple takes over! He loves boxes or in his case, sitting in the boxes~

 

He usually starts off his box explorations with scratching his face on the corners. Next, he climbs inside and once he's in there, he sniffs around. Then he proceeds to scratch his face some more. 


*sniff sniff"

"Back off! It's mine now!"

 

Sometimes he walks away after a massive face-scratching session but sometimes he just stays in there.  He doesn't come out until we push him out. Are cats naturally attracted to boxes or is Ripple just a weirdo ;)

Here's Ripple~~

I realized I've never properly introduced my cat before! He's my trusty little co-blogger and book model~

First off, his named is Ripple. He's named after ripple chips, my mom's favourite. We were just joking around at first but it had a nice ring to it so we decided to keep it. About four years ago, we adopted him from our local SPCA. He was just the friendliest and most adorable little thing we've ever met. We took him home the next day!

He's different from other cats because he doesn't have a tail. The SPCA told us he'd been seen wandering the streets for six months. It wasn't until someone noticed he was hurt that he was brought in to the SPCA. Apparently his tail was mangled and rotting. They don't know exactly what happened to him but their best guess was it got caught on some fences. In the end they had to amputate it. Now he just has this little stump he waggles but even without a tail, he jumps and climbs just fine~

When he first came home with us, he was a little shy. He sniffed around, found a place and laid down to sleep. After four years, he runs around like a wild child and meows nonstop for food. We have endless nicknames for him like Po, Ripopo QPo, LilFatty and FatPo lol. He's pretty much the center of all our attentions and my parents spoil him silly!
 
Some of the things he enjoy doing include sleeping, eating, bird-watching, sleeping some more, staring, playing, eating some more and sleeping like there's no tomorrow. That about sums up his daily routine but here's a picture for you to visualize it better ;)



Ripple's daily activities.

Thank you for reading Ripple's story! If you'd like to see more pictures of him, he's on Instagram! My sister tries to share pictures of him on there from time to time~ I'm also thinking of doing a post every Sunday just to share more of him with you guys. What do you think?
