    From Fluffy Kitten to Chubby Eunuch: The Life of A Niu the British Shorthair

    Simba: My Journey with a Mischievous and Adorable British Shorthair

    Maybe there’s something about my home, but by the second day, he turned into this little troublemaker! Despite that, he’s full of energy, not shy at all, and we basically skipped the adjustment period—he started following me around right away! On the very first day, he felt safe enough to nap on me. That alone…

    Dongdong: My Mischievous and Adorable British Shorthair

    My family has a British Shorthair, and he’s now one year old. When he was a kitten, he was super obedient, but as he grew older, he became more playful and lively. “Calm” isn’t in his vocabulary because this breed is naturally gentle with a hint of mischief. Also, British Shorthairs rarely meow! In all…

    May: My Journey as a First-Time Cat Parent

    I paid the deposit on May 25th and brought him home on the evening of May 31st, so I named him May. He was born on April 11th, making him a little over a month old—a tiny male kitten. The week before bringing him home, I scoured the internet for advice since he was so…

     DunDun: A Journey of Love, Worry, and Endless Cuteness

    It was the cat who started it, not me! Listen to me… The story begins in April. My boyfriend, who lives far away, was worried I’d be bored when I moved in, so he brought home a cat he had already bought. I, in turn, gave our yet-to-be-met daughter a mighty name: Panghu. (Whispering: I…

    Zhiming: The Adorable and Mischievous British Shorthair

    Zhiming, male, just turned five months old, acts like a dog—clingy and loves being petted. The photo above is a recent one. He’s already a little chubby, lying on his brother’s pillow, looking at me gently, then coming over to nuzzle my face with his nose. So sweet. Spending weekends at home with him, his…

  • Life with Nuomi: The Adorable Chaos of a British Shorthair

    Life with Nuomi: The Adorable Chaos of a British Shorthair

    My cat is named Nuomi, which means “sticky rice,” because I hoped she would be clingy and affectionate. I bought her from a pet store. Originally, my mom and I wanted to get a male cat (probably because my mom thinks male animals are more attractive). Nuomi and an orange tabby were from the same…

  • Life with Buru: The Mischievous and Bitey British Shorthair

    Life with Buru: The Mischievous and Bitey British Shorthair

    I adopted a British Shorthair Blue and White, male (now neutered), and named him Buru. On the first day I brought him home from the cattery, he had diarrhea in the carrier and stepped in it. As a result, his first day at home didn’t go well—no one wanted to hold him. Little did I…

  • Life with Egg Yolk Pig: My Journey as a Cat Parent

    This little guy is such a pig—all he does is sleep, eat, and repeat. In just three days, he gained 0.4 kg. I’m speechless… Today, I tried to give him deworming medicine by crushing it and mixing it into goat milk powder. But this clever little thing sniffed it out and refused to eat it.…
