Pet Update: So, I ended up calling her Paris...

Remember my last Kitten for Adoption post? Well, finally someone is interested to adopt The Little One! I'm so happy even though it's not finalized yet. I hope things will go well and that The Little One will be happy in her new home.

And you know what's funny? The Little One is actually NOT a male kitten. Why yes, it turns out that she's actually a princess. :D

What's even more funnier is that before my boyfriend and I realized this, we had already chosen a name for "him". We called "him" Boris because in my opinion, he looks Russian (boyfriend argues, "How the hell does a cat look Russian?"). I tried Tchaikovsky, but my boyfriend thinks people will have a hard time spelling his name (good point). I also tried Dylan after Bob Dylan (LOL) but then people wouldn't be able to pronounce it correctly and I'd get annoyed. That's why Boris was perfect. It's easy to spell and to pronounce for Indonesian people. Also, it's very memorable and we love the look people give us when people ask about "his" name (yes, that WTF look).

I do like naming cats with unusual foreign names. It makes them special because people here usually name cats with something stupid or meaningless like Bulbul or Kupluk or whatever. Aslan, for example, is very well known in our vet's clinic. Everyone in that clinic knows him because of his unique name and his laid-back attitude. That clinic is populated with cats and dogs in a daily basis but the vet always remembers Aslan each time we visit.

I picked the name Aslan after Aslan the Great Lion from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - which is one of my favorite children books. :)

Do I look laid-back enough?

So, I sort of want the same thing for Boris. But now that we've found out she's actually female, we changed her name into something more suitable; Paris. It still rhymes with Boris and it's still as memorable!

beautiful kitty :)


not her best angle, but it still looks funny

What Paris likes:
- plastic bags to hide in
- my hair, she likes to chew on it
- chasing Aslan's tail
- climbing to my vanity table every time I do my makeup (sounds cute, but it's actually pretty annoying)
- more activity involving me and Aslan getting annoyed
- sitting on my lap (or any human's lap) and purr away to sleep :)

She likes picking on Aslan - A LOT.


Today I let them play outside for a while. Took this pic with my cellphone.


This is when you all go, "Awww." :)

A few days ago I went to the pet shop to get Aslan groomed. Here is one of the dogs that lives there. He's freaking HUGE. His head is definitely bigger than mine. I've always been afraid of huge dogs (caused by traumatic experiences when I was little), but I wasn't scared of him because he's actually very friendly... or less "active". Lol. He sleeps like that ALL. THE. TIME.


Anyways. I'm going to see Robin Hood tonight, which I hope will be a blast. We rarely get good movies here on the theaters. In the last couple of months I've only been to the movie 2 times. And this I consider as rare, my friends go to the movies so much more often than me. They'd watch anything, which is cool, but not for me. I can't stand bad movies, especially in theaters. I'm not a movie snob per say, I'd watch anything on DVD, but not in theaters.

The last time I went was last week. I saw How to Train Your Dragon, which I enjoyed. The dragon was called Toothless and he reminded me a lot of Aslan. Lol. Maybe it's the golden yellow eyes. Well, I don't want to spoil it for everyone but it really was good. There were a bunch of kids in the theater, I thought they'd make too much noises but I was wrong! The only person who annoyed the hell out of me while watching the movie was the guy behind me. He'd laugh on ANYTHING, and he laughs like a madman. He'd even laugh right after he read the subtitles while the actual line hasn't been spoken yet. Is that normal? I dislike rude people on movie theaters. The ones who keep TEXTING throughout the movie (the light from their cellphones is so distracting), the ones who keep TALKING and GUESSING what the next scene will be... geez, what's wrong with you people? I hope tonight I would have better luck not to get seat next to people like these. Fingers crossed!

  2. Aww so cute! I love the name Boris for when the kitten was a "him" lol.

    When my boyfriends dog had puppies, one of them was named Boris (by the person who was buying him). At first I thought, wtf...for a dog?? But I love it :) xx

  3. Paris is so dainty! Haha, I love naming my pets too and my bf and I are always arguing over what to name them! After throwing so many names around, my bf won and we named our cat Tremmie (after a character from Gundam). Now I can't imagine her with a different name. The people who found Tremmie (she was abandoned as a kitten with her eyes not even opened yet) thought she was a male too and named her Charlie.

    Now I have 7 lizards to name... oh dear

  4. Hee hee...that pic definitely made me go "Awww." :) Let us know if "Robin Hood" is any good.

    P.S Yep, Purpose Cleansing Wash comes in a gel texture. It foams up once you mix it with water.

  5. Aww I loooove this post, so many adorable cats pictures! I'm happy that Paris is going to a good home. :)

    Aslan is such a chic and cool looking cat. Love his eyes and it looks like he's wearing a black/white suit. ^^ I like cats with longer hair too hehe.

    I loved How to Train Your Dragon. Toothless mannerism def. reminded me of a cat.

    Speaking of good movies, have you seen the animated film The Cat Returns? Sorry for all the pet stuff but it's a cute movie on DVD.

  7. Hi Fifi. Aslan is such a pretty name for your cat :) And I'm so happy you have found someone interested in giving Paris a good home. It's sad to have to rehome another kitten but it was really kind of you to take her into your home in the meantime. She probably wouldn't have made it if it weren't for you.
    I have a guinea pig and I love animals too. I actually love big dogs - our family dogs were both St. Bernards :)
    Robin Hood seems interesting. Good thing you found it entertaining - I know you said it wasn't amazing but at least it wasn't a terrible movie right ;)
    That's so inconsiderate of people who turn their cell phones on to text in a movie theatre. I also really dislike it when people put their feet up on the seat/head rest in front of them - even if there's nobody sitting in that seat. Some people in lecture halls were so rude and would even put their feet up behind someone's head when someone was sitting in the seat in front of them. I think that's disgusting and so rude! I feel like smacking people across the head who do that LOL. Oh gosh, sorry for my rant!
    Have a lovely day Fifi :)

  8. hi fifi!
    look at those cats sleeping side by side...how adorable!
    i used to have - let's see - seven cats (one or two at a time)..they were:
    1. Lecky (my aunt gave the name)
    2. Unyil (at that time 'unyil' serial was a hit)
    3. Jennifer & Jessica (my brother brought them home together from his campus, i ended up keeping jenni, jessi was adopted)
    4. Lucy (from Lucifer, her blue-ish eyes sometimes looked red and scary)
    5. Bim-bim (after Slank's, somehow they were look-alike)
    6. Bono (after U2's, loove the vocalist)
    and Paris is such a perfect name!

    btw, totally agree with you on the annoying people at the theater...
    and i think Robin Hood is great.. :)

    have a nice day!

  9. Aslan is definitely adorable :D And I'm glad you've found the kitty a new home. Yay everything worked out. I went to see Iron Man 2 the other day - gotta say, I'm not really a fan of just action movies anymore... at least I felt like something was missing from that movie. Eh well. Have fun w/ Robin Hood - you should let me know if it's worth it or not.
