we had a fun weekend which started with this meme about 80s in our slimfit. I find the photo super cute
Friday dinner for the family: meatball with a yogurt sauce, sayote stir fry made by our helper, cucumber tomato salad, and yellow rice. the famiy thought it was fancy
Saturday we took Bubble for a bath and hydration. She probably hated the entire process but we had so much fun watching her
then we went to see a cat that the owner is giving away. her name is Diana and she is the same breed as Bubble. Gosh… it was so hard to make a decision. She is not as cute as Bubble but we all felt that her future was quite dark because if she can’t be adopted by a family, she’d go back to the pet store with precarious condition. But given our two cats not co-living situation, adding a third member seems complicated. So I decided to sit on it.
Then we went to a cat cafe with street cats adopted by the owner. Girls played with them for a while.
Sunday was a low key day. We found gigantic avocado at the store for daddy
played with Bubble as it was her day out. She loves water melon and we let the juice for her
Bringing a new cat to home is not an easy decision for us as it will be a family member. If we get a cat, she’ll be with us until she dies, traveling to countries with us no matter what documents/process we need to do. Yet, it seems not the norm for other expats here. The lady who is giving away is from Indonesia and she said that most people in the embassy gives away their pets for adoption when they leave the country. I was surprised to hear that. I cannot imagine.
Lizzy wants to her Diana to give Bubble company. Daddy, who hasn’t even met the cat wants to adopt because he can’t bear the idea of returning her to the breeder living in precarious conditions. Sofia who’s more rational, emotionally wants to adopt Diana because she LOVES all the cats in the world, but realistically wonder if we can handle 3 cats if they don’t get along. Me, I am torn and lean more toward not to but also feel sad for her. Oh well. will sit on it for a while.
Found a new book that I’m enjoying, already half way through. The Rachel Incidence. Have you read it?
I can understand why you’re torn, but I have to say I’m with the rational Sofia on this one.
I think adding a third cat when Bubble and the other cat already don’t get along sounds like a recipe for a lot of stress for everyone. And you can’t save all the cats in the world!
That Slimfit 80s meme looks like so much fun!! I love the photo! 😂

I feel for you making this difficult decision. Please let us know what you decide. I can see both sides. I wonder if there’s any chance through your Work or exercise connections that you might know somebody who would like to adopt a beautiful cat.

That picture is SO fun, Coco! I love all the bright colours. SO FUN.
I have never seen an avocado even close to that big in size. Wow.
And I think you should go with your gut on the cat situation; I suspect your hesitation is a sign you’ll likely say no, but I love the idea of seeing if someone in your work community is looking for a cat?!

OMGGGGGGG COCO I LOVE THAT PHOTO!!! What fun!!! I love those 80s outfits, what a fun place your Slimfit is!
YES I have read The Rachel Incident and I loved it! It was a five star read for me.
I was just wondering the other day if Cookie and Bubble were getting along yet. I’m sorry to hear that they aren’t. I don’t know the workings of cats very well but I feel like it would be very difficult if at least one of the cats didn’t get along with Diana. Like I said, I don’t know cats, so I don’t know how it would work, but I feel you – it’s a difficult decision!

I’ve read your blog for a year or two and think Bubble is the cutest cat ever! I wonder if the new cat could be adopted but a family in Canada?… probably too complicated in terms of transport!

taking the cat out of Brazil will be easy, you’ll have to ask Canana what’s required.
Feel free to DM and I can facilitate with the lady who’s giving away.

Ooh, that’s such a tough call. Really tough. It sounds like you’re leaning away from adopting the cat. I think it would all depend… if Dianna got along with Bubble, then Bubble would have a companion and it wouldn’t really be that much harder for you (since I guess you keep Cookie and Bubble separated anyway). But there’s no way to know if Dianna and Bubble would get along! Could you do a trial run somehow? You definitely can’t have three cats who all hate each other- that would be a nightmare. And no- I can’t imagine just giving my cats away if I were moving!!!

I love the outfits for your 80s workout! How fun!
The cat decision is tough but I would probably not add a 3rd cat since your other 2 are not very big fans of each other. 3 would be a lot to manage if they don’t get along.
