HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANG!

Mang is 8 today! She came to our home when she was about 3 so that means she’s been with us a good 5 years now. (I have a homecoming anniversary for her too; it’s incidentally the same as Millie’s) And actually, we don’t know the exact day when she was born so we just had a date generated when she went to the vet. We stuck to that since it’s so close to mine. Anyways, we noticed two things about here in the last two days so read on.

On wednesday evening, I was watching Mang sauntering across the hall at home. And then I noticed something. Mang has thick fur (even in this weather) and her fur isn’t as short as most local cats. So if you imagine a British Shorthair, or any of the Shorthair breeds for that matter, her coat would be quite similar. Anyways, she likes to sit upright with her hind legs straight out, just like how people would sit on the ground. That means she would be resting on her ‘thighs’ if you get what i mean. You can’t actually see it because of her tum but she does sit like that. And yes so when she was sauntering around I realized, from behind, the fur on her hind legs kinda have a ‘parting’. O_o

And then yesterday we realize that whenever she sits upright, she really REALLY rests on her bum. Because her feet are not flat on the ground. They were kinda sideways in a very relaxed manner, just like how you would rest your feet when you have no weight on them – i.e. like when you’re lying down or just lazing around. The best thing is she was leaning against the wall when we saw that the second time. You’ll have to see for yourself… I’ll try taking pictures someday.

But in the meantime…

Happy Birthday my dearest MangMang… We love you!
