It’s a kitty!
Kitty!
Gitanjali and Isha let me take this adorable little kitten because they couldn’t keep her in the hostel in college. She’s the friskiest cat we’ve ever had and spends all of the time either running around attacking a stuffed hedgehog tied up with string or biting and clawing our hands and arms. I think she’s a bit of a nutcase, because she doesn’t eat fish unless it’s been fried, she’ll eat any cooked chicken but no uncooked, and she’ll eat all kinds of mutton. The funny thing is, she loves human company and sleeps only when there’s someone around. This means that in the middle of the night she’ll crawl onto my pillow and curl up to sleep, sometimes with one paw on my head.
The crazy bit is my dad isn’t really fond of cats. He can tolerate them, but he’s not actively crazy about them like the rest of the family. Unfortunately, Cleo insists on sitting on his lap whenever possible and is always running around his legs. It’s patently hilarious, I tell you. Oh, and xkcd was right.
Looking for an EN-EL1 Charger:
All these photos were with the remaining charge on my digital camera. Unfortunately, the charger is broken (I think). I’ve tried to charge both the original EN-EL1 and a replacement Camelion battery but neither seem to have charged properly. Does anyone know where I can get a cheap charger? I’ve looked around and I managed to find a CTA Digital MR EN-EL1 Charger but Amazon doesn’t accept Paypal so I’m stuck now. I’ll just have to go to Ritchie Street now. That sucks. Those buggers are all frauds and their prices are inflated, not in little part due to the idiot import duties we have on electronics. What good do they do anyway, stupid duties. So high.

She’s hopelessly adorable. Stands on my brother’s shoulder like a parrot on a pirate.

I always thought cats unruly and unfriendly. They bloody scratch everywhere with an irritated MEOW!
Comment by Arun — October 15, 2007 @ 10:40 pm
They scratch everywhere alright, but they’re just being playful. So funny.

aww too cute!!! there have been a couple of tiny ones running around my place too… just not to sure if i should go and pick em up. ;/

Maybe you should, they’re irresistible! :D My mom’s always picking up hurt kittens off the roads. Atleast she used to. Not many stray animals in Gandhinagar.

Arun, only untamed cats scratch people. Domestic ones are very pleasant, if trained right.
Sindhu, make sure you take it to the vet right away, if you do.

Oh yeah, makes some diseases less probable and all. Didn’t you have a dog or something, Marc?

*squeaks* CLEO!!
Our sweet little nutcase… She’s grown… And hey, she was pretty well behaved with us!!!
Damn, I really miss her… Roshan, we need to visit you sometime :D
Comment by Isha — October 16, 2007 @ 10:08 pm
I don’t know what you’re saying pa, she’s very active, running around all over the place, stepping on power buttons, drinking my payasam…
You should come some time and see her. Naughty, she is.
Comment by roshan.george — October 16, 2007 @ 10:11 pm
She was running around even with us, but she was kind of civilised… I told her not to bite the hand that feeds her - obviously she listened!
Maybe Aadi and certain green weeds had something to do with the change… Hmm. *ducks out of sight*
Comment by Isha — October 16, 2007 @ 10:16 pm
Ha! There you go again, persecuting them poor botanists.
Hmm, that’s it then, I have to tell her not to bite. But it’s funny how she starts licking the hand right after.
Comment by roshan.george — October 16, 2007 @ 10:56 pm
Botanists, eh? Don’t you think that’s a bit high for a second- year college student? *grins*
Awww… I’m coming to visit Cleo (and incidentally you) once these exams are over!
Comment by Gitanjali — October 27, 2007 @ 8:00 pm
Hey wait Git… I’m coming too, even if I make myself a pest.. hehehe…
Comment by Isha — October 27, 2007 @ 11:03 pm
He is a learned man. His credentials are impeccable.
You’ll be welcome, be prepared for a lot of biting though. Cleo’s just plain nuts.
Isha, ha ha, well Cleo likes pests, sort of like I like apples.
Comment by roshan.george — October 28, 2007 @ 7:34 pm
Oh no. That’s horrible. I completely disagree with the way you eat your apples…
And Cleo, if she bites me. I bite her. That’s it.
Comment by Isha — October 28, 2007 @ 8:05 pm
You can’t disagree with the way I eat apples. It is The True Way.
Tell Gitanjali that, I bet she’ll love you for it.
Comment by roshan.george — October 28, 2007 @ 8:10 pm
Well, seeing that I possess a muderous weapon (the hairstraightener) I guess she won’t say a word.
Comment by Isha — October 28, 2007 @ 8:26 pm
Oh my god, you’re terrifying :D Well, I bet you would be with that as a weapon.
Comment by roshan.george — October 28, 2007 @ 8:51 pm
Me? Terrifying? Never… I’m such a sweetheart (to quote Git) Sweethearts aren’t terrifying.
Look at Cleo. Like (one) mother, like daughter. I guess.
Comment by Isha — October 28, 2007 @ 8:55 pm
Ha ha, does that mean you have suicidal tendencies? Because Cleo is nuts. She goes and stands at the window and leans out at night time. We have to carefully catch her and close the damn window. I shall have to condition her to be scared of living on the third floor.
Comment by roshan.george — October 28, 2007 @ 9:08 pm
Suicidal Tendencies? Not really. But I like sleepwalking.
Comment by Isha — October 29, 2007 @ 1:17 am
Ha ha, so long as you don’t do that while wielding your hair-straightener weapon.
Comment by roshan.george — October 29, 2007 @ 3:07 pm
I disagree! And as Isha pulls out the hairstraightener… I pull out Aadi! Ha!
Comment by Gitanjali — November 8, 2007 @ 5:06 pm
Hold on, this is getting dangerous…
