Welcome to our furry little corner of the web! 😺
Our journey began in August 2011, when Lucky, the sweet mama of our furry family, joined our home in Imus, Cavite. Just a few months later, she brought Aiko and Oue into the world. By March the following year, our family grew again with five more adorable kittens: Cotton, Splash, Umeko, Dancer, and Snoozie.
I’m V, and while this space is dedicated to our beloved furry eight, you’ll also find little reflections about life along the way.
Take a stroll down memory lane with this gallery of our original crew🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Some updates so far:
- New year’s eve 2014 – We lost little Dancer at our home in Bang Yai, Thailand. I went to Bangkok to meet with a cousin and decided to leave a window to the balcony open since they liked to play there. Big mistake. Little Dancer might have gotten chased off by one of the neighbor’s cats. I feel responsible and guilty over losing her, and regret leaving them alone that day. She was already acting grumpy towards her siblings after the hernia surgery she had before the move from Siem Reap to Thailand. We looked for her for weeks, but to no avail. Hope and pray that she had found a loving home.
- 2018 – The catman and I have parted ways but stay friends. He continued living in Austria with our 6 remaining furries until he moved back to the Philippines in spring of 2024.
- October 2018 – I moved back to Vienna.
- June 25, 2019 – We lost Mama Lucky in Königswiesen, Upper Austria. It was too late when we discovered that she had a liver tumor.
- July 2020 – I moved to Sweden.
- February 2021 – Mattias & I got married.
- December 27, 2023 – Chiefy, my beloved dog in Thailand passed away. Here is the link to his story.
- March 1, 2024 – Mattias and I drove to Flensburg, Germany to meet with Ronald & the cats. We drove back home to Sweden with the 6, Ronald drove back to Austria to prepare for his move to the Philippines.
- March 2024 – Younger siblings Umeko, Snoozie, Splash, Cotton and Dancer (if she’s still alive somewhere in Bang Yai) will turn 12.
- November 2024 – Twins Aiko and Oue will turn 13.
