Pearl in her new home (Part 2)

Pearl's adopter, Ben sent me an MMS of Pearl on his shelf of books. Mom and I visited her last Sun afternoon in her new home. She hid under the chairs when we entered the house. After a short while, she was curious and approached us. Maybe she recognised us and allowed mom and I to stroke her. We are happy that Ben and his friend dote on Pearl and she seems to adapt well to her new surroundings.

Pearl in her new home

Pearl's adopter, Ben came to pick her up around 3pm today. Mom and I are glad that Ben seems to like her a lot. We will wait for Pearl to settle down in her new home and visit her next weekend.

Ben smsed me in the early evening that Pearl is fine and was exploring his place before napping under his bed.

Now the balcony seems empty with Pearl and her stuff. Angel was still moving cautiously around the house and probably wonder where Pearl is hiding.

We'll miss Pearl for a while.

Why can't they get along?

My mom just asked me this question about Angel and Pearl. I don't know too.

I took a photo of the 2 cats recently at night. Can you spot them?


Angel is at the top left hand corner, on the rack near a speaker and Pearl is at the bottom right hand corner resting on the floor. She was eyeballing him. If he were to get down from the rack, she would definitely get up and follow him.

Revised date of departure for Pearl

Pearl will be with us another week. Her adopter called me earlier that his place's renovation is still not completed and asked whether we can keep Pearl for another week. Although we will miss Pearl, we have also mentally prepared ourselves for Pearl to leave us tomorrow. It will also be less stressful as when Pearl is let out of the balcony to roam the house, we have to be alert. Angel has been chased by Pearl a number of times when we let our guard down or when Pearl just unexpectedly made a dash for Angel.

Mom who is at home most of the time has been feeling stressed by these attacks and Angel is getting naughty by scratching the speakers and chewing on carpets, etc. Mom is really doing a good job in taking care of the 2 cats at home and also the community cats in the morning and evening. I'll try to give her more support by also doing my part in coming home more often for dinner and feeding the community cats with her in the evenings and also calling her before lunchtime on weekdays to ask her any interesting or frustrating happenings. After all, I'm the one who started this whole affair with the cats - I can't leave Mom alone to handle them.

Angel still doesn't like Pearl

After more than a month under the same roof, Angel still can't accept Pearl. I was hoping the 2 of them can be friends and can play and sleep together.

These 2 shots of the 2 cats were taken separately. They look so peaceful and relaxed. But if they are awake and see each other, Angel would be hissing away and Pearl would give chase.




Sunday is coming soon and Pearl will be leaving us too. Angel will probably feel relieved.

Pearl to her new home on 17 Feb

Pearl's adopter will be bringing her home on 17 Feb. We will definitely miss her as she has been quite a dear other than taunting and chasing after Angel.

She has a fierce side - she gives a painful little pain when she doesn't want to be touched (which is not often). She doesn't like her nails to be cut too.

She is also quite a sleuth - she could find her catnip fish toy (bought by her adopter) and also the rat toy (we gave her) even when we hide them to dry. She loves to dunk them in the water and recently she also put them in her food dish. Haha.


She likes to alternate sleeping on the chair and lying on the cool floor.
And she makes this cute little whenever she wakes up and does the shifting :)

Pearl the princess

I took some photos of Pearl exploring my bedroom a few weeks ago. She was on my piano chair and also checking out my mirror.

Pearl will be going to a new home on 15 Feb. Through the Cat Welfare Society adoption bulletin board, I have managed to find a good adopter for her after screening through emails from more than 10 interested people. He has viewed her last Sun and likes her a lot. This afternoon, he came again with some kitten food, treats and a toy for her. What a nice gesture! As his place is still under renovation and he will be overseas during the Chinese New Year period, he has asked whether we mind keep Pearl for a few weeks more until he's ready to welcome Pearl to his nice home.

We do not mind having Pearl with us but Angel will have to bear with her. He still does hiss at her, without attacking her and sometimes she would run back to the balcony and hide and sometimes she would chase after him. And Angel is quite a coward and would run away. We would supervise both of them whenever we let Pearl out of the balcony. At night, Pearl has been whining/protesting on and off in the middle of the night for being cooped up in the balcony. Sometimes Pearl sounds like she's being strangled. Poor girl - we would like her have the free run of the house like Angel if both of them can get along.

Pearl likes to follow us around the house or just rest on the floor, sleeping or watching us. She loves Angel's scratching post - she will rake her claws against it and sleep near it. Mom is concerned that Pearl will grow attached to us and be sad to leave us. I think Pearl will like her adopter who shares with us on his plans for her :)

Pearl up for adoption

Pearl's ad has been posted on Cat Welfare Society's online adoption board.

I have already received emails from about 10 persons. Pearl is very popular and I'll have to screen them carefully to find the best home for Pearl.

If you know of any good cat owner, ask him or her to contact me!
