So Cute I Couldn't Stop Snapping Photos! — Amagasaki, Hyogo
Categories: On the Job > Cats > Degus > Squirrels
It was a visit with a family of three cats, a chipmunk, and a degu —
such an adorable household.❣️
🐱Chii-kun, a mixed breed.
The big brother with a hearty appetite.

Chii-kun, who can't resist his food,
once he's finished his own meal,
goes off to eat the others' food.😋💨
So the other cats' bowls
have lids that open only in response to that cat's own microchip.💡
Even so, he'd seize any chance to go after their food.😂

🐱Komugi-chan, a Minuet.
The timid middle child♡

The most timid of the three cats, Komugi-chan🐾
is so shy she'd hide away somewhere whenever I visited.
I'd wondered if she might not come out at all during my visits, but
the moment I started waving a toy, there she'd be at my side before I knew it…✨
From the very first day, mixing in with the other two,
she joined right in on the play.🎶
She let me pet her, too, and Mama told me
it was rare for her to warm up from the very first day.🎉
By the time she'd settled in, she'd even come nuzzle affectionately at my feet.🤗

🐱Kuromu-kun, a Russian Blue.
The curious little youngest♡

Right from our meeting beforehand,
he seemed thoroughly curious about me.🎶
He'd come to welcome me,
and during my care, he'd watch what I was doing from close by.🐾
Once he'd grown comfortable, Kuromu-kun spent his time as free and easy as could be,🤗
now and then playing chase with Chii-kun.

And they all love their crinkly, rustly toys.❣️
Running, leaping, tumbling over,
they played away so joyfully.😆
Chii-kun and Kuromu-kun would sometimes make great big leaps, too.
At the sight of them all playing so adorably,
I simply couldn't stop snapping photos.🥰



🐿️Chocola-kun, a chipmunk.

At our meeting beforehand,
I'd been told Chocola-kun might bite, as his mating season had just ended.😌
But surprisingly, perhaps he took an interest in me,
because he came close and showed me his adorable self.💖
He even ate his food right in front of me, and
with every bite, his cheeks puffed up little by little —
so unbearably cute that I couldn't stop snapping photos.😍


🐭Yukimi-chan, a degu.
True to her name, her coat is pure white.✨

Coming up to my hand without any fear,
running merrily on her wheel,
nibbling away on her pellets —
Yukimi-chan, with her adorable little ways,
had me unable to stop snapping photos, too.💕


The charm of each and every one of these animals
could be savored all at once — such a fun visit it was.😊🎶

Cute, Lively, a Big Happy Family — Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama
Categories: Rabbits > On the Job > Cats > Chinchillas > Degus > Hamsters > Hedgehogs > Squirrels > Richardson's Ground Squirrels
This time, I had the pleasure of caring for an adorable big family.
Every one of them was so cute, I hardly knew where to look!
Let's start with the cats.
Ran-chan, a Ragdoll, and Karu-chan, a Somali.
Ran-chan came close to me, but the moment I moved, she'd quickly slip away.
Karu-chan, on the other hand, was wonderfully friendly — coming right up to me and even rolling over to show her tummy.

Next up, the degus.
They live two to a room♪
All of them full of energy, always eagerly awaiting their meals!😄

Next come the chinchillas.
Just when I thought they were asleep, they woke up, came over, and showed me their darling little faces.🥰

And there's still more to come!
Next, the squirrel and the voles.
The squirrel popped out of his room to say hello.
The voles ran round and round on a little dish — too cute for words!❤️
(Only two appear in the photo, but there are three of them!)

And then, the ground squirrel and the hamsters. The sight of the ground squirrel munching away
was just too adorable!❤️
The hamsters, too, kept peeking out from their hiding spots to show off their cute little faces.

Last but not least, the gerbils and Goro-chan the rabbit.
The gerbils are experts at tucking themselves away in the timothy hay.
Goro-chan ate plenty and was bursting with energy.😄

I wasn't able to get photos this time, but there was a hedgehog as well, and on top of that,
a turtle, tropical fish, and even a catfish — what a lively, joyful big family!
Each and every one of them, simply adorable.❤️
I lost count of how many times I said "so cute!" during my visit.
May you all keep living happily together, side by side!
Until we meet again!

Categories: Rabbits > On the Job > Squirrels
今回、シマリスのちゃまるくん♂、りんごちゃん♀と
ウサギのマロンちゃんのお世話に伺いました(^^)
みんなまだ子供でと〜っても元気٩( ‘ω’ )و
特にりんごちゃんはお世話中ずっと動き回ってました♪

ちゃまるくんはご飯に夢中で大きな頬袋がとても印象的(^^)

ウサギのマロンちゃん♀はとても人懐こくて
ずっとお世話の様子を近くで見守ってくれてました✨

わんちゃんや猫ちゃんみたいにあまりスキンシップはとれませんでしたが、
みんなの同行を観察するのがとっても面白かったです♪

たくさんご飯を食べてみんな大きくなってねー( ^ω^ )
