Attack of Cotton


As responsible and loving parents, we will always spend some quality time with our dearest Cotton everyday. It was one of those rare Saturday nights that Daddy and Mummy came home before midnight.  As usual, we would check on her.

Pellet and oatmeal replenished? Checked.

Cage cleaned up? Checked.

The longing look on her wanting to come out? Checked?

Not able to resist that longing look, we would succumbed to that yearning desire of hers and carried her out for a little “stroll” around the house. It was such a great pleasure carrying her around and enjoying the moment together.

But everything changed the moment we put her back in the cage. The cute-looking-yet-timid-and-jumpy Cotton SUDDENLY turned into an aggressive-touch-me-and-I-will-scream creature. She barked and ran away whenever we pat on her head and even sprayed urine at us! We were stupefied by her sudden outburst.

It may be her hormones, or the full moon effect that led to her sudden insanity to attack the hand that feed her. OR it may be the stroke of mid-night that transformed her into urine-spraying Wolverine Cotton.

As much as we love her, discipline must be put in place. As for now, she is grounded and showered with cold shoulders till further notice.

It's X'mas time!

This entry has nothing to do with Cotton. Just that Mummy is having writer's block and trying to think of something to write.

Since it's X'mas soon, Mummy wanna talk about the first X'mas tree she bought in Ikea together with Daddy.

It is a cute mini tree, perfect for the house since we don't have that much space. Daddy tasked Mummy to be the Creative Director to dress up this tree. Mummy had lotsa fun choosing and buying X'mas decorations for it. Mummy even gave the white porcelain pot a golden splash of flowers, just to glam it up.  
Have a Merry X'mas!! HoHoHo
