Cats & Dogs





Fatty - lounging
Nanki by the water bowl
Its been quite a few years now - at all times, we either have a dog or a cat or both who adopt us.  They hang around our home, we feed them, they mate have babies...we play with them and as we all know, hardly any of them survive - we cry... swear never to get too attached...which never happens...and the cycle continues.  Around 3-4 years back, one pup survived - a female - we call her choti...feed her regularly...and she sleeps outside our door, barks when someone enters the compound and promptly runs away when they get closer (so much for being our security). Choti is affectionate, cute, scared, fertile and very horny (she also likes variety...ahem).  She's had 4 sets of pups till now... some dead, some given away, all cute.  This is about her latest set of pups, who are still very much around and absolute darlings. By the way, a male cat too has adopted us, we call him Kita. He's an old cat - scared of the pups, so stays away nowadays.  Now back to the pups.


Rachna's boy - trying to snack on my ear
Fighting pups
There are 5 of them - Fatty (who is not fat any more), Nanki (got droppy eyes, so we called him Nanak, found out he is a she - so its Nanki now), scared pup (he comes out only to eat), browny (he's detached kind) and lastly whom we call Rachna's son (about 3 weeks back, he somehow got out of the building and Rachna went and rescued him - so he thinks she's his Mom - comes running to her when he sees her).  They are adorable brats who chew on anything....the maids have to bring in their slippers now since they run away with it and chew it within minutes.  They keep jumping on us, so its difficult to walk when we have to go out - so one of us distracts them, and then makes a run for the car.   Fatty is a bit ill now (we pray he survives) but all others fit and funny. We hope they get adopted or else the survivors hang around our home - and so continues the saga... dogs, pups, mating, pups, dogs...
