| Cat luv...

Yesterday i went to Maude's cattery to pick up our second cat Dim Sum, it's always sad to take a kitten away from its family and he didn't seem to like the ride in a cage. What a beautiful yet strange creature, he's super calm and despite being slightly older than Banh Mi, he looks so clumsy and tiny, she is is definitely larger and tougher. 
Who's that thing?
We were quite anxious about the introduction in his new home with such an energetic resident already in place. But it went surprisingly well... she was super excited/nervous and wanted to play while he was exploring this entire new territory, so we had to separate them in multiple occasions :-)
funny hair patches behind the ears!

It took a day for her to get used to having a new friend that look like a tasty dumpling, she was obviously a tad jealous but now they're getting along really nicely! SooOo cute together!

| DIY litter box...

Now that we have the 1st cat home, i've decided to build a top entry litter box because it looks like a good solution after checking out the other alternatives out there. The advantage is that it keeps most of the litter inside (and also the odors) while giving some privacy to the occupant. There are a few brands making that sort of box but they are quite expensive when you can find a lot of DIY projects online.
I bought a cheap clear Rubbermaid storage box and a small rug at Rona, Nhu already had a heat gun so it was very easy to make. BTW, we are very happy with the all-natural World's best cat litter, it's amazing!
Now let's see how it works and if Banh Mi likes it :)

| Kitten Adventures...

Nhu has recently found a beautiful kitten to adopt,  she/he (we don't know yet) is now busily exploring her/his new territory since last night. We instantly fell in love with this cute half-masked panther. We'll pick up our other kitten, Dim Sum (the Rex Devon) at the end of the month. Bienvenue a la maison Banh Mi! <3
