Dora

August 10, 2010

Tada Tadashi says: My yard has mysterious power to lure kittens… It is about a year ago that Gustav came to my home. Half month back, Gustav where watched the outside from the window informed us that a kitten had strayed in the garden. She was Dora. She was alone and digging my yard. I think that it is two months about after her birth. Because the face looks alike, she is expected the same mother as Gustav.

Dora that has already lived as a homeless cat is high with desire to be independent. Dora is very daring even toward Gustav with as much as five time weight! The eating obstinacy is strong, and she is frequent to eat even the food of Gustav. I don't know her likes well because she has not become familiar with life with human yet. However, she came to play well with kitten's toy recently. She seems to be gradually a kitten and I think that she has become understand she is a kitten. I think that Dora also surely grow :-) And now you can see Dora on Twitter too!

Both Dora and Gustav are gorgeous. I had a hard time choosing a single picture, but I like the shower scenes where she looks so sad as like saying: "why are you doing this to me?"
So both are indoors kitties now? Don't worry, I know firsthand that sometimes feral kittens are not feral by choice.

Dora the Explorer asks, WHY are you doing this to me?! as Gina said. She's delightful and so expressive. The little tail kills me in this shot.

I could swim to Japan to cuddle this girl. She looks like My Girl Cat when she was a young, feral kitten. Dora is ADORABLE - Very kawai!

Girl Cat - 13 years, 8 months ago

She looks like me when I was little - she is very cute. She is kawai. Flat loves her too. We love you for giving her a safe, good home!

So lovely to see her blossom into a gorgeous ginger kitty. Thank you for caring and taking in Dora and Gustav. It looks like they have a wonderful home now and that makes up for their sad life before they met you. Dora is gorgeous!
