Pretty Parrot or Cute Cat?
Before B and I decided to get a pet cat to begin our just-married adventure together, we talked about getting a fish. We wanted a pet we could both share like a lovely pair of goldfish. Fish seemed a tad too common however. Besides, what else can fish do besides swim and look pretty in the water?
So we thought of birds next. It would be cool to have a parrot especially since they're known for their ability to "talk" by imitating human voices. We would have a lot of fun with a talking parrot and I know many pet stores actually sell these clever birds. Thanks to their sociable and affectionate nature, intelligence, bright colours and ability to imitate human voices, parrots make really popular pets.
Did you know that the domesticated Budgerigar, which is a small parrot, is the most popular of all pet bird species? See how pretty?
What's more, the types of parrot cages available nowadays almost convinced me to run out and immediately get a parrot! Check out this Liberta Two Tier Large Parrot Cage for instance. If I was a pet parrot, this is where I want to live. It's spacious, complete with a Playtop, 3 stainless steel feeding cups in the cage and has 3 swing-out feeding doors. There is also a seed catcher which makes for easy cleaning. 
Anyway, we were set on getting a bird as our first pet together but then B told me something, which changed our minds. He mentioned that he's always wanted a cat. As a boy he was not allowed to have a cat at home, so unlike me who already had so many cats previously, he was totally enticed and curious to start feeling and acting like a cat owner, which I thought was adorable! 
And that's how we ended up with three cute cats as our pets. The parrot was a great idea but it wasn't that practical for condo-living couples like us. Plus cats are more affectionate, adorable, self-cleaning, fluffy and they do make wonderful companions. Thank goodness we found Chubbs, Benji and Phoebe...in that order!

Hi Anya! Oh you have a mini zoo at home! Your cat and the birds get along just fine eh? My cats love to see birds when they're perched on my balcony..sometimes I am afraid they will jump after the birds, but so far they just love to stare and meow at the birds. Thanks for sharing sweetie, meow! :* :* :*
Hi!
Nice pic of one of your cute cats. Glad you guys opted for cats insted. But the blue parrot look adorable. Actually, I love seeing birds too.
Sorry I did not sooner. Last night I fell asleep with my LT on, trying and trying to drop EC but he line was poor, wasted too much time trying to drop EC, line extremelly slow .... was to fed up till tertidor!!! Even this morning struggling to get through !!!
Also, I received a bad news regarding my singaporen niece who suffered from breast cancer since last year.I terjaga with a call informing me that Mahani passed away at 5.30 a.m. Wednesday morning. Memang recently after fighting hard against this deadly cancer it seems the deadly cancer attacked her skin. After that her Dr. told their family that she only got another 3 (three weeks} to live! Still very sad, by the way, she is also a friend at Facebook
Lets us sedekah "Fatihah" to her, she was only 32 years old, married with two little sons. Poor thing, don;t know how the husband cope with the situation Kita patut sukur yg we are fine and well. See you around ..............
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
did not come sooner ...
was so fed up ..
told her family ..
Lil, sorry to hear such news.
Semoga ALLAH cucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya. "Al-Fatihah.."

Cute betul muka phoebe, rasa nak gosok2 je hidung dia yang pesek. Lagi cute nampak tak bersalah muka dia. Ehh phoebe macam juling air sket, tapi tuu yang cute nampak innocent :)
Hi Lil! yeah parrots are pretty to see and admire kan but like GG said, we cannot hug parrots ha ha! I oso fell asleep awal yest Lil cause so sleepy and I didn finish my EC round for MPG. Lucky woke up early today so managed to drop! :* :* :* :*
Al-fatihah. Pls accept my sincere condolences to you and your family Lily, I know u've been worried about ur niece and I am sad that she had to leave at such a young age. Mmg kesian the kids, I oso cannot imagine how the husband is coping....take care Lil, u balik Singapore tak? :'( :'(
