The Chis are Officially Ours!

Lychi has been with us for 5 weeks and he continues to be so super cute and active. He is still happily play fighting with Mochi. 


He had an unfulfillable appetite and makes us wonder if we are starving him. We now have to separate them during feeding bcos Lychi will have a bite of his own food, then rushed to Mochi’s bowl. Mochi simply walks away and comes back later to an empty bowl. We are more worried about Mochi not eating enough. 

Lychi has started to want to eat human food. Mochi was never interested. Lychi will now patrol on the dining table when we are having meals and had stolen a chicken drumstick previously. We yanked it back before he ate it. Yday, he ate Nana’s leftover rice, which she has thrown into the bin. We need a new bin with lid. 

Mochi is never upset about food but Daddy Lim got this picture. So funny. “Don’t eat my food ah!”


I checked with the family and we all agreed that Lychi has integrated well; we want to keep him forvever. 

I messaged JJ and she was happy for Lychi. Meanwhile, she was eager to ask again for Hazel, who is Lychi’s sister, though not closely bonded. She is so pretty too.

Unfortunately, I don’t think we are ready for a 3rd cat. It took us 3 years to decided that we are ready for a 2nd cat and the last integration was so traumatising. For a while, I asked myself if we would ever try for a 2nd cat but Lychi just pawed his way into our hearts. There is also the cat fur to worry about. Zaky’s allergies seem to act up more frequently recently. His door is now permanently closed and I have stepped up on the vacuuming.

There isn’t an adoption fee per se but JJ incurred some medical fee for Lychi weeks back, when he was having a diarrhoea and visited the vet. Of course! We transferred her extras; she is on a fund raise for a vaccination project for her current 20ish cats. 

There is a new law to licence all pets by 31 Aug 26. I made Daddy Lim do it. There is a video to watch prior to registration but easily scrolled through. The registration for licence is not difficult, answering a few questions and adding a few photos. The Chis are officially ours! Yay!
