Proper Introduction to: My Cat Loli the Lollicat

It's been a whiiiiile and a while it has been indeed.
Hello everyone, that if, anyone is still clicking on this blog slash post.

So, a lot has happened since the last time we spoke. I know; we should stop meeting like this. A deadly outbreak of COVID-19 is happening and I, a newlywed woman, have been in a self quarantine for a month now with my, well, new husband. That said, I am married! I'm married to my longtime (then) boyfriend that I wrote a lot about here; more stories on that later. Point is, I have so much time and space to write now since I'm home most days. I feel like I don't wanna write in a diary-manner on this space where stories need to be told in a timeline manner. I want to write when I feel like it and about what I feel like expressing. I find that that way, my posts will have me in a better more suitable headspace than just forcing myself to 'report' on what happened chronologically when I don't even feel like retelling that chapter. I hope that is cool with you :)

It's a great sunny morning where I am atm. I had my coffee and while I was perusing the internet (that includes my own social medias and blogs), I wandered to this page again. Scrolling through everything I've ever written reminds of how much of a wasted space I have here to just write! I have been slacking off and neglectful (lol) but I'm making up for it, for the lost times.

Today I want to talk about my cat. Yes, my cat. The story about the three siblings I once posted here shall come to an end. Our family had and raised Cemong, Coki, and Ciki and we're only left with Coki (the only female tabby cat) now. After careful consideration and upon my father's request, we were only able to keep one cat in our main house and had to move the other two into the other house (mum's office). So that's how Coki and Ciki ended up there in mum's office and Cemong (the black cat with a stache) keot with me and my family on our main house.

We were not as much of a cat pro as we are (if I could say so myself) now, or at least, if it were to apply to me personally since I'm mainly the one who takes care of all of our pets on a daily. I didn't know better. Cemong left home when he was about 3. More interestingly, Cemong left when I was just leaving to Melbourne for my study, and never returned. I remember calling home everyday to make my family drive everywhere to look for him and cried everyday cz I missed my dear cat and not knowing where he was killed me everytime. I figured later that it was probably because we didn't spay him sooner. It was too late, we didn't think it was necessary. But that's what happens when you don't spay or neuter your cat; they follow their mating tendencies and will mostly wander away, less domestic.It's just a behavioural thing.

Years went by and I relocated back to Indonesia to find, well, cats in my main house. Coki is well and safe and a little chonky too. We had a new cat from a mother cat that, for whatever reason, stayed on our porch and made herself home for years now, mum said. She was pregnant and had 4 kids, 3 of which are gone and 1 survived.

That one little spunky kid is Loli. My mum named her so. Truly a free spirited child with endless battery. She wouldn't stop running around the house and would check out everything she could get her paws into. Boxes, bags, couches, everything.



Her mother stays with us also but we don't keep her as an indoor pet, so we just let her live in our garage while Loli, on the other hand, had finally gathered dad's approval to be a more indoor cat. We let her indoor when she's bigger. She was still reliant to her mother (who lived outside) when she was little so it was a little infeasible to make her sleep or eat inside. But eventually she found herself at home in our house quite immediately.

Not even her human counterparts could seem to keep up with her energy. It is truly exhausting! How did a being go so bananas at-all-time?!

My youngest sister, in a rare occasion, picking the kitten up



She is just gonna turn 1 this year (probably next month) and she has gotten so long (as opposed to 'big', she grows.. longer). We discovered that her top rank favourite food is chicken and she cannot have them enough. When she was younger, she had comically long legs it was hilarious.

I've moved in with my husband now since we are married so I haven't seen Loli in 4 weeks due to us living in another city and also, quarantine. I haven't been anywhere since I moved in. So yeah, it's an understatement to say that I miss her, but I do really really miss her. I think an outlet for that is just to write about her here now that I am staying home all day. So, I will keep this in separate parts, and this will be it for today.

See ya later! :)
