Just your average cat Mirela

ADOPTED - JUNE 2012

Mirela is ready to go home. No more scared, she proves to be a normal, loving and playful kitten waiting for her ideal family to come and get her. 

In one week of love, good  food and a soft bed to sleep in, she turned from this almost wild cat into a perfect apartment cat. She enjoys her space, her toys and her humans very much.

She still offers free kitty massages as soon as you hold her and purrs like an industrial machine :)

She's clean and only uses the litter box. She's not very picky when it comes to food. She's quite and allows you to have your personal space as well. 

Yesterday (22.05) I received a call from one of Asociatia Robi's volunteers. They all have kittens and cats with baby kittens fostered at home, so they needed somebody to pick up this 2 months old cat just found under a car the night before. Willing I said yes, and there was Mirela standing in my arms later that evening, after picking her up from the guys who found her.

The tragic story of a some kittens whose mother got ran over by a car, left in the basement of an apartment building when they were to young to take care of themselves. First thought of as being 5...and acknowledge that they were actually 6 (some ladies took them in their care and offered them for a adoption). But there came the 7th - Mirela. After spending days alone in the basement she got brave enough to discover the world...on a cold, windy and rainy day. As soon as she got out she crawled under a car and started crying.

She's still scared, but so very loving. She purrs and offers free kitty massages every time you take her into your arms.

A simple book that doesn't reveal any secrets, but makes common sense obvious to its readers. It encourages communication, polite communication.

My favorite story form the book:

Batranul, etica personala si scorpionul


Intr-o dimineata, dupa ce a terminat de meditat, batranul a deschis ochii si a vazut un scorpion plutind neputincios pe apa. Pe masura ce batranul privea, scorpionul se apropria de o radacina mai lunga si a s-a intins sa salveze creatura de la inec.

De indata ce batranul a atins scorpionul, acesta l-a intepat. Instinctiv, omul si-a retras mana. Un pic mai tarziu, dupa ce si-a recastigat echilibrul, batranul s-a prins din nou de radacina si s-a intins sa salveze scorpionul. De aceasta data, scorpionul l-a intepat atat de tare cu coada sa otravita, incat mana a inceput sa i se umfle si sa se inroseasca, iar fata i s-a contorsionat de durere.

Dupa un moment, omul a incercat sa ajunga iar la scoprion. Exact atunci, un trecator l-a vazut pe batran tinandu-se de radacini, intins la maximum, luptandu-se sa salveze scorpionul si a strigat:
Hei, batran naiv, ce e in neregula cu tine? Doar un nebun si-ar risca viata de dragul unei creaturi malefice si urate. Nu-ti dai seama ca ai putea sa mori incercand sa salvezi scorpionul acela nerecunoscator?

Batranul a intors capul. S-a uitat in ochii strainului si a spus calm:
Prietene, numai pentru ca sta in firea scorpionului sa intepe, nu schimba firea mea, care ma face sa incerc sa-l salvez.

Restored nightstand

I love antiques and could easily live in a furniture museum :) I own several pieces of "old" decoration objects, but not furniture. It's not easy to get old furniture in an already furnished house, but maybe some day I will have at least a room.

I managed to get an old coffee table form one of my neighbors who was planning to throw it away. It's a '60s Romanian hand made coffee table which I will turn into a nightstand.

Restoration steps:

1. cleaning - it has paint stains all over it

2. removing the old paint layer

3. cleaning, polishing and applying an oil base

4. applying the new layer of paint - it's going to be black :)

Yoda my ✰

ADOPTED  - May 2012

My new fostered baby cat - Yoda, little whiskered tiger.

His not a shy boy, though he's only 1 month old. He likes to discover, always ready for an enemy attack with super energy powers. He argues with strong meawing arguments when something is not right.When he's tired he loves to snuggle and purr. A true star in need of attention and affection.

He loves his litterbox and would never use anything else.

"Summer of George"

Summer's basically around the corner - I already have my tan on.

Short term plans work better, so here's my 26th summer's list:
- foster kitties
- sun bath and splash in the Black Sea
- hike around in the mountains
- new places to discover: Romania
- concerts and festivals - OST, BestFest, ArtMania, DBE (Alba Iulia)
- go to the gym
- improve driving skills
- read and sleep :)

Din carti

- Stii, ma gandeam daca nu cumva oamenii isi folosesc amintirile pe post de combustibil. Ca sunt importante sau nu, asta nu conteaza cand e vorba sa te mentii in viata. Sunt combustibili si atat. Ca e reclma de ziar, carte de filosofie, gravura erotica sau un teanc de bancnote de zece mii de yeni, daca le pui pe foc, toate sunt doar niste bucati de hartie. Focul nu se gandeste " Oho, asta e Kant", "Asta e Yomiuri, editia de seara" sau "Mama, ce tate are" cand le arde. Pentru el toate nu sunt nimic mai mult decta simple bucati de hartie, La fel si cu amintirile. Ca sunt importante, ca nu sunt importante, ca nu folosesc la nimic, toate sunt combustbil, fara nici o diferenta.
