Our kitten has a new pasttime: playing hide-and-seek with us. She hides, and we spend a good amount of time looking for her. Some of her favorite hiding places are the bathrooms, under beds, under the slipcovers, Mako’s cabinet, and behind the piano. Uma thinks it’s fun, and it is most of the time, but sometimes it gets annoying.

Oh, Uma. This kitten is such a silly, playful, adorable little thing. She’s everyone’s favorite toy, and our house has been a little bit more alive since she arrived.

I’m very pleased with how much Uma has grown in the last few weeks, she went through a growth spurt when she finally started eating solid food.

I went through her pictures, and I can’t believe how scrawny she looked. This was exactly one month ago:

Man, that picture just breaks my heart. I didn’t realize that she was fugly not too cute, back then she was the cutest kitten in the world for me, that little package of skin and bones and sparse fur.

She looked scary, poor thing! She was so tiny we can put her in our pockets.

Uma has filled out beautifully, thanks to my parents who spoil her rotten. They feed her food (usually fish) straight from their plates, and that’s besides her regular servings of Whiskas Junior.

Look at her now:

She’s gorgeous now that she’s rounder. Abet wants to get her some kitty multivitamins from Cartimar but I think that’s not necessary. We don’t even give her Tiki-Tiki anymore.

Here’s her most recent picture:

Belly flab never looked this good.

And my favorite of the bunch, Uma the lolcat:

Isn’t she adorable? Not bad for something from the trash, eh?

Uma getting comfy on my bed

Our little girl is eight weeks old now! Gah, I sound like a first-time mother talking about her newborn. I can’t help it, Uma is my baby, and since I don’t plan on getting pregnant anytime soon, please bear with my Uma-lovin’.

Uma is still so heartbreakingly tiny. She’s a challenge to feed- -bottle-feeding starts with a bit of wrestling because she puts on a flailing-and-scratching show before she actually sucks on her milk. We have no problems with her Whiskas Junior tuna, though, but that alone will leave her constipated. And sometimes, she can’t hold down her food, she throws up every so often. Just a little while ago she was throwing up and having diarrhea at the same time, I was practically elbow-deep in kitty vomit and poop. And let me tell ya, kitty pupu is just so nasty! NASTY!

But oh can she jump! And run! And climb! Our skinny little Uma is quite a spry one. I know I’ll rue the day, but one day she’ll be a-jumping on our shelves and toppling over the frames and plaques on display. I’ll worry about that then. Right now, my biggest concern is to get her to grow big and healthy.

I am a cat lover. I’m now a cat lover, thanks to our darling 5-week old kitten, Uma.

Abet teases me about this a lot, that I now love cats. Pre-Uma, the only cat I liked was Garfield- -I can’t stand the rest of ‘em felines- -but this little furball gets me thinking that cats are absolutely adorable creatures.

Did you see that video circulating last week about the woman caught by security cameras dumping a cat in the trash bin? Oh, I was so furious when I saw it on the news! If that happened two months ago, I don’t think I would have been bothered much, but now I was like, “I’ma kill you, b*****!” You wouldn’t think that I hated cats not too long ago.

Anyway, Uma is my new best friend. She’s the first thing I look for when I get up, and the first thing I look for as soon as I come home from work. She’s sleeping by my foot right now as I type. I can’t get enough of this kitten. I’m in love.

I don’t plan on having any kids until I’m past 30, Uma will be my baby girl for now.
