A Fluffy Game of Othello ●○ — Suginami-ku, Tokyo

Categories:  >

Hello! 🧡 Let me introduce two very different little characters.
This is Gomugi, a ten-year-old Maltese–Poodle mix. 🐶

 

マルプーのごむぎくん

 

He loves playing with toys! 🧸 He dashes around the house, full of energy.

 

おもちゃをくわえて遊ぶごむぎくん

 

“Throw it for me! ❣️ Let’s play tug! ❣️” He keeps bringing me one toy after another, inviting me to play. ♪

Then there is his complete opposite: Oimo, a ten-year-old Chihuahua–Poodle mix and a real cuddlebug. 🐶

 

チワプーのおいもくん

 

He claims my lap for himself, and whenever I stop stroking him, he gives me a little tap with his paw. 🐾 “More, please!” 💕

After a while, Gomugi, who had been running around playing, started to look interested…

“I’d like a turn on the sitter’s lap, too!”
“Shall we talk it over?”
“Let’s!”

 

膝のそばで寄り添うごむぎくんとおいもくん

 

Once their little discussion was over, they took turns sitting on my lap, just like flipping the black and white pieces in a game of Othello. ⚪️⚫️

What a blissful time! 🥰 They were so adorable, I could hardly bear to leave. 😭

My dear Gomugi and Oimo, I hope you both stay happy, healthy, and the best of friends! 😘

Who Will Visit Today? — Konan-ku, Yokohama

Categories:  >

Today's care took place in a beautiful garden, looking after the cats who visit.☺️ 
I was so looking forward to meeting all sorts of different cats.♪ 
 
On the first day, our timing didn't line up and I didn't get to see anyone, but the bowl was licked clean — a sure sign they'd been by.✨ 
 

 
 
On the second day, a brand-new face! A black-and-white cat with a distinctive black-spotted nose came to visit.✨ 
Wary as she was, she seemed to say, "Isn't dinner ready yet?"🍚 
 

 
 
From the second day on, an elegant young lady appeared, with a whitish coat much like a Ragdoll's.✨ 
 

 
 
Taking turns, and still a little wary, they each ate their meals properly.♪ 
Thanks to the kind homeowner, they can enjoy their meals at leisure under a roof that shelters them from wind and rain. 
Each day, a different cat would come by.😽 
"Who will come today?" — I looked forward to finding out every time. 
 
And we're sincerely hoping that the black-and-white girl her family has been searching for is found very soon.

Ready, Set, 30 Minutes of Hide-and-Seek! — Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo

Categories:  >

This time, I looked after a home of five hide-and-seek players.🏠️ 
 
Entry No. 1: Kotaro-kun. 
The eldest, and the easiest to find.♪ 
He spent most of his time atop the cat tower, watching from on high, 
serving as our site supervisor.💫 
 

 
 
Entry No. 2: Hanamaru-kun. 
Usually under the desk, though sometimes he doesn't quite manage to hide. 
He may grumble a little "grrr," but he never lifts a paw — such a gentle heart.🙌 
 

​ 
 
Entry No. 3: Enzo-kun. 
He moves around the most — and gets found precisely because he moves. 
And he's playful enough to fall for the Churu trap, too.🎣 
 

​ 
 
Entry No. 4: Hina-chan. 
Under the covers is the only place to be. 
Even when I can see her, she dashes under the covers in a flash.💨 
 

​ 
 
Entry No. 5: Tsumugi-chan. 
The most elusive of all — using her jet-black coat to full advantage, she took first place at hide-and-seek.🐾 
 

​ 
 
Everyone held down the fort together, happy and healthy! 
Here's hoping we can play something other than hide-and-seek someday.🍊

Our Adorable Bengal Brothers — Setagaya-ku, Tokyo

Categories:  >

Kai-kun and Sora-kun bravely held down the fort for over a month — 38 long days. 
We took care of them with a team of three sitters.🤗 
 

 
 
Kai-kun, with a little more white in his coat, is a bold and lively boy. 
 

 
 
He'd often make a grand entrance from the closet, 
 

 
 
often play with water, 
 

​ 
 
and often hop onto the air purifier to change its settings and flip the switch on and off. 
 

​ 
 
But then I'd turn around to find him belly-up, 
 

 
 
lounging curled up in a pot-shaped bed, 
 

​ 
 
or hopping lightly onto my back. 
 

 
Simply adorable.♥️ 
 
Sora-kun, with more brown in his coat, 
is a shy, sensitive little cuddle bug.😆 
 

 
When he feels stressed, he sometimes brings up his food or has little accidents — our sensitive Sora-kun. 
The accidents didn't quite stop, but the vomiting eased off in the second half — well done!👍 
 
When I tossed a toy, he'd just watch Kai-kun dash after it, looking blank and bewildered, 
 

 
but day by day, with a face like the one above ↑, he began joining in the play.✌️ 
 
His cuddly side really came out once I started brushing him. 
The moment I pick up the slicker brush, he rushes to my side before anyone else.😊 
 

​ 
 
He rolls over right beside me, turning his back my way — 
which means "Do it, please~," doesn't it?😉 
 

 

 
Simply adorable.♥️

My Beautiful Big Sisters and Me — Ota-ku, Tokyo

Categories:  > >

Oru-kun is an adorable ten-month-old Chihuahua boy. 
While I cleaned the potty area in his pen, he circled round and round me, hoping I'd play. 
So friendly, and so incredibly cute.♡ 
 

 

 
Oru-kun loves his walks! 
He looks like he's having the best time.🎵 
He trots along the whole way, but when he hears children's voices, he stops 
and gazes at them, completely captivated. 
 

 

His next-oldest sister is Tiara-chan, a one-year-old Ragdoll. 
When I unlock the front door, she's right there waiting. 
Is she welcoming me? Or standing guard against an intruder? 
 

 
Tiara-chan seems very curious about me. 
She always keeps a little distance, on watch. 
She's a girl, but Tiara-chan is ever so cool. 
 

 

The eldest, four-year-old Ragdoll Sophia-chan, 
is a little on the shy side. 
But when I put out the food, it's Sophia-chan who arrives first. 
After a few bites, she lounges in the living room. 
 

 

Aren't they both elegant and gorgeous?✴︎ 
 

 

   

They love to play, too! 
 

 

 

Oru-kun, Tiara-chan, Sophia-chan, 
let's go for walks and play with lots of toys again soon!

Three Friendly Cats, Each Full of Character — Chuo-ku, Osaka

Categories:  >

Can you all spot where the three cats are hiding?🐈 
 

 
Meru-chan, the little foodie.🐱 
Once she's finished her treats, she takes on the role of watching over everyone from afar.🫡 
 

 
Yamato-kun, who loves brushing and cuddles.🐱 
Under his chin seems to be his very favorite spot.☺️ 
 

 
Pokari-kun, the master of affection.🐱 
The way he rests his face on the table is so cute that I was completely smitten.😍 
 

 
These friendly cats, each so full of character, soothed me to no end.🥰 
I'm looking forward to caring for them again.🍊
