Mews part 2: 'Lost in Translation'

Please look closely on these 2 pictures below, especially the words on the green sign....we've got them while we're wondering around Jakarta using teleport to spot another bizarre in humans world. So, this time, the mews is a non-cat related coz we wanna check out humans behavior.

p.s. halte means stopping place for public vehicles and the next words after halte function to explain the particular area.

HALTE: PLY OVER

HALTE: PLY OFER

The real story we over heard from mommy: many people filed a complain for the typo error on the first picture, so the relevant authorities took actions by correcting the "PLY OVER" by changing the sign with the new one as shown on second picture.

See...how humans intertwining in their own language, unlike us!

Thank God...we're not homeless

Me, Pinyi, on behalf of Meaouwy Troops would like to share our grateful moment being a house cats. Our great grandcat was a feral or stray that pop-up suddenly in mommy's home and here we are the next generation. Myorie and Dixie were feral or stray too, they're new comer in our home here since end of November 2006. Mommy's friend once said, when there is a cat come to you human, it means "a spirit portal is open". Wow, do you believe that? The meaning could be vary, depends on that humans situation. For Myorie and Dixie's case, it brought new enlightment for one of our beloved human, an answer to the long quest for 10 years in searching the true meaning of learning martial arts.

I've been absorbed in my thoughts

Lately, as I become older, been musing a lot of my blissful life with all Meaouwy Troops members. How fortunate we are in here, not being homeless... We all so lucky that our grandmom had made her choice to settle down with mommy. That's why, I'm the most loyal member, being almost all the time staying at home, while other members sometimes love to hanging around our furryhood. I'd reveal our homeless furryfriend pray furr you...so please humans, with all do respect, never abandoned us and take home with you our feral or stray furryfriend.

Stray Cat's Prayer

Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care!

I'm so tired of running and sick with despair.

My body is aching and filled with such pain;

And dear God I pray, as I run in the rain...

That someone will love me and give me a home,a warm cozy bed, and food of my own.

My last owner left me alone in the yard...

I watched as they moved, and God that was hard.

So I waited a while, then went on my way, to rummage in garbage and live as a stray.

But now, God, I'm so tired and hungry and cold;

And I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old.

They've chased me with sticks and hit me with straps, while I run the streets just looking for scraps!

I'm not really bad, God, please help if you can, for I have become just a "Victim of Man!"

I'm wormy, dear God, and I'm ridden with fleas; and all that I want is an owner to please!

If you find one for me, God, I'll try to be good, I won't scratch the carpet; I'll do as I should.

I'll love them, play with them, and try to obey.

I will be so grateful if they'll let me stay!I don't think I'll make it too long on my own,

'cause I'm getting weak and I'm so all alone.

Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry, 'cause I'm so afraid, God, that I'm gonna die.

I've got so much love and devotion to give, that I should be given a new chance to live!

So dear God, please hear me, please answer my prayer, and send me somebody who will REALLY care.

Mews part 1: "Si Belang" with unusual mark

We'd like to make a big apology because up to now, due to certain condition, mommy couldn't make any pictures of us here yet. No, it isn't due to our rebellion thing, but mommy did promise to borrow a digicam to her cusson yesterday. Unfortunately, since mommy's cusson got to travel somewhere coz in here we have a very loooong week end (Thursday & Friday are holidays, no school, no office work, Thursday was commemorating Muhammad SAW Prophet's birth and Friday is Easter), so the digicam is unavailable. Hayya...we have to patiently wait until there's a good chance for all of us showing up here. In the mean time, to replace this, we want to share any extraordinary or bizarre (or quirky?) mews about our buddies from Indonesia. Believe it or not, any mews related to us (being cats) in here, sometimes is associated with mysticism or superstitious. We are wondering too, if this thing happening to you also in other part of this world? Hmmm...probably it's all because the place we live here, trace back to its origin history, derived from mysticism or supernatural thing.

Okay, now we want to introduce our friend, "Si Belang" live in Tangerang, West Java. Tangerang is a neighbour city of Jakarta, so it's not far from our home. Please click here for her picture and pay more attention to the middle part of her body there. Her pattern and color formed an Arabic word of ALLAH (please click the latter word for comparison). Allah means God for Muslims). "Si Belang" story dragged many people attention to come to her home, see it with their own eyes whether it is true or not. Considering that her unusual 'mark' on her body is very scarce and assuming that by owning her will bring good luck, so many humans offered her human mommy to buy her with high price.

Fortunately, her human mommy is unwilling to sell "Si Belang" with any price no matter how much they offer. And, eventough there is someone eager to take care of her in their home, her mommy still insist to take care "Si Belang" together in her home. No one allowed to take her anywhere. That's good, coz sometimes humans are so selfish thinking about their own matter that having or owning "Si Belang" will make good fortune and yet neglected "Si Belang" and her mommy feelings.

The unusual mark is an amazing sign of the Almighty God creation. Animals have various miraculous features and each one of them is a miracle of creation. Even our little woofie friend here has a stunning mark in his body, a love pattern!

ps. sorry we couldn't able to upload the pictures, don't know why coz it always came up with error pages, so please do click the word in red bold to see the images.

Check this out on how we as domesticated cats become a very extraordinary feline compare to our grandparents lion, cussons lynx and bobcat, auntie cheetah and uncle tiger plus other big family members in the feline nations!

1st time tag and meme ;)

Finally, we get the chance to blogging world again...wow, the past few days Mr. Computer reluctant to do his best shot and avoid good co-operation. Pheww....

Moki, a very special furriend and a special needs kitty tagged us for the middle name meme a few days ago. We had to think very hard indeed, coz this is the very first time being tagged by a meme. We have been wondering also, what is tag and meme? hmmm, lots of new thing to be learn ASAP in the furryhood;)

Anyhow, here are the rules:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers,

2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother's maiden name),

3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person (or blogger of another species) for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged.)

Ok, since we all only have one happy single name (coz our mommie only have one single name too like us) so we do not have any middle name. Hmm... we do hope Moki could understand our situation here. Heheheh, mommie left a message to us, this is as hard as when mommie has to fill out any form from other part of the world (she meant, any countries besides her country) that a single name most often is unacceptable. She has to type the last name, as in mommie's culture and tradition is not a compulsory - it is often to have only one single name, even without family name as last name - if not, the form will be invalid. The best way out then mommie put her late daddy's name become her last name.

So, back to tag and meme, since Moki only choose one kitty from Meaouwy Troops, but we have 12 members and Moki did not decide which one of us to be tagged, with full consent, we choose momma Bunyu, as being the oldest and our respect furr her. Although this meme required the middle name, as our condition failed to do so, we pick up momma Bunyu's name. The meme is already on the picture. Please see below.

And, if momma Bunyu looked rather unclean in this picture, well please forgive her, sometimes she loves to pretend like a "beggar kitty". Though our mommie always emphasize us to be clean everytime and often preach us everyday about this matter, uhmmm, well, we kind of rebellion, likes to roll over in the backyard coz it's so funtaztic to smell, get dirt and soil all over our furrbodies!

Now we are suppose to tag five kitties. Oh boy, we hope they haven't already done this. Sorry, lately we haven't beean around much guys. We will tag Karl (The Cat Realm), Cecil (The Mews Reporter), Lisa, Meerkat (The Furry Bambinos) and PooPoo (JB's Small World).

Pleese...dun try thees @ homy!

We'd like to share another kitty folktailes from where we live with you. This one related to us consider being as the lucky charm...

In many countries cats are said to foretell the weather. In Indonesia cats are thought to control the rain. Pour water on a cat and it will summon rain.

Can you believe that guys, we can bring rain for humans! But, please with do all respect, don't you ever try these at home;) Who knows what might will happen....

Javanese people (Indonesia) myth, 'Why Dogs and Cats are Enemies?'

Our mommie luv to tell short story on mythology furr all of us, and this one come from the Javanese (Indonesia). It's about the history why dogs become our enemies.

We'd like to share with you and here's the story....

Have you ever wondered why dogs and cats fight each other, or why it is rare for a dog and a cat to be close friends? Javanese people (Indonesia) have an explanation in a myth on this particular issue.

Long ago, all the animals lived together. One day, the lion is presiding over a meeting to discuss peace, when he notices that the camel is missing. The dog offers to find her. He races off and collides with the cat who is running late for the meeting. On returning, the dog's explanation results in humiliation, for all the animals laugh at him.

'Hear me, Cat!' he says. 'From this day on, we are enemies. My children and grandchildren will attack your children and grandchildren forever and ever.'

Caring furr The Homeless

A year has been passed now since Myorie and Dixie join Meaouwy Troops. They were came from no where and suddenly pop up in our home, so we consider them were derived as feral kitties. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get their pictures yet up to now due to some unexplainable reasons. Therefore, we would like to present this heartbreaking video clip from It's Meow or Never Animal Rescue and Sanctuary as the commemoration for Myorie and Dixie being with us now furr one year. And, of course kindly give your purrs and purrayers furr all dearly buddies out there who are still homeless.....

Impawtant: please inform your beans to prepare handkerchief or tissue as many as possible before watching it.....

Mellow Mood & Golden Paw Award

There's a day when we couldnt go along with each other...

Well, like beans, we do have some disagreement or arguing about something. So, instead having catfight that may lead to serious injuries, we think it's safe to tease around by showing our butts like this. When we have quarrels, most often we all make contact face to face, on the other paws, from now on, we propose to make it as butt to butt.

Last but least, we -Pinyi & Bunjie- on behalf of Meaouwy Troops would like to express our gratitude to our buddies, Jan's Funny Farm, The Cat Realm and Moki who have helped our mommy's blog that had been hijacked by nasty pop-up advertisement in the last week end. For that reason, we want to give The Golden Paw Award! It's so great to have friends around the cyberworld and we'll never forget your kind help.

My casual day......

As life goes on, here's another day in South Jakarta...
-Pinyi-
ps. everything pretty much the same as we're having looong week end here since Friday:)

Book Junkies

"Never miss a day without reading!"

That's what our beloved humans always tell us. As our intelligence always sharpen everyday by watching closely what our humans been doing and observe their responses towards anything, we begin love to read too. Everytime our human start to read, we somehow play cute in order to get closer to them. And, when they are opening the page, we perform the blitzkrieg thing by jumping off onto that pages, sit and lie down on top of it. Then, the best part is, our humans let us do the reading. Though, they may seem think of us so ridiculous coz' we don't read it with our eyes like them. We don't have to waste our precious time by reading all over through pages. Just sit or lie down nicely with relax and let our butts absorb all its content make them through up to our brains. This is what we called, a feline philosophy as a way to achieve greater than humans do. See.....now ya all know how to read faster and better than humans do!

Yow fellas!

Just a quick tour about where we live. Our buddy is asking about where South Jakarta, the area we reside. So, here's the map of Indonesia, located in South East Asia and its on the upper North-West from Australia.

Now, we're sure that you see where Jakarta is, it's in Java Island. Our beloved humans family are Javanese. Their great grandparents were from East Java province.

Below is the map of Jakarta. It is in the Southern part -near Cilandak area- where we live peacefully and happily. Would ya visit us here?

Oooppss...censored!

Sorry guys...if you have to watch me in "Poo Action". I know being the leader in Meaouwy Troops I should behave more polite, I mean posing myself with dignity and graceful manner. But, this is funtastic coz I still manage to focus and concentrate in my "poo" thing while mommy took pictures of me.
Though I sometimes do silly-willy acts, but I always take care my feline members. I care a lot to all my family and of course to outsiders who become our troops, Myorie and Dixie. That's why I'm being called as 'Big Brother Bunjie', the leader of felines in my mommy home. Thanks mommy furr your trust in me to hold this heavy duty. Dun worry mommy, I always watch out furr those strangers and protect our surroundings from any danger.
Last but not least, me on behalf of Meaowy Troops, would like to thanks furr our new buddies, 4 boys and a lady, Chey's Place, Crews' Views, Kattonic Cats, Missy & KC, PB & J is my favorite, The Cat Realm, and The Zoo with their warm welcome to catblogosphere. Nice to meet ya all.

Make a slideshow - it's easy!

In the loving memory of Zola -son of Bunyu- who crossed the Bridge of Rainbow in 2007. A year has passed by...we miss you little fella!

Mother vs Daughter: Bunyu VS Pinyi

Old memoir back in September 2005... it was another day to test our senses and skills as an indisputable cat. We, mother and daughter, strongly recommend you to train these things at home for your own survival out there. Make your guess, are we having play fight or cat fight here?

Overture: prettiest feline in the troops

Me, Pinyi. They say I'm the prettiest. Of course, it proves by many male felines around neighbourhood often come to our home, just to make flirt with me or want me to become their soulmates. As the daughter of Bunyu, I´m older than Bunjie and he´s my step brother. When I was young and restless, I´d love to jump into humans' waist, love to bite toes, and make sudden scratch to somebody´s feet! It was such a wonderful and funtastic hobbies. Don't worry, now that kind of habits had been diminished absolutely. Thanks to my growing older hormones to remind me how old I am now.

Delightful taste of any fresh fried fish and chicken is tempting my hunger-monger. Watch out fella, I am NOT war-monger like G#!$g% B*^?!

Though I extremely love to eat, eat and eat (again) still my sexy body stays slim and skinny. Becareful not to pat my hip and back! I´m over sensitive in that area....uhm, well you know what I mean. One thing for sure that makes me so special, I´m a loving mommy cat to any neglected and abandoned kitties. Because I truly understand how does it feel, being left alone and lack of affection. Thanks to my beloved humans, they both teach me how to sincerely giving love to others. I learn a lot from them.
