*Totoro* :3


Nickname(s)
Stinky Totoro (i.e. 臭龍貓), Stinky Toto (i.e. 臭龍), Toto (i.e. 龍龍)
Background
He's the son of Bunbun. They were found at the back of a warehouse. My friend took care of them for about 4 months and that's when I took them home. He was only 4 months old when he came home with me in 2012.
I named him Totoro because he's grey and totoro is grey. In chinese, totoro is a kind of "cat".
Eventually I start calling all my cats with "stinky" at the beginning because that's what my family would do at home. It's kind of a sweet name.
Little Stories
+ The first night I took Totoro and Bunbun home, they were in the cage. I peeked through the cage and Totoro hissed at me. That’s my first time being hissed by a cat and it almost gave me a heart attack. I didn’t like him as much as Bunbun at first because of that experience, but he grew up with this sweet character that he became my favorite.

Love & Hates
+ He loves sleeping under the comforter while you’re sleeping, which means in the middle of the night you will start feeling this fluffy thing between your thighs. He will even sometimes stretch his claws on your tummy, leaving some unwanted scars telling you how much he loves you.
+ He loves his pink dragonfly toy which he will start jumping, and running around until he catches it. After 10 minutes of work out he will start panting and need to rest.
+ He loves lying on top of my legs when I use my computer
+ He loves wet cat food, treats, and chicken
+ He doesn’t like veggies
+ He doesn’t really like Meowmeow, or maybe he does like to play flight with him. That I’m not really sure
+ He loves eating tissues, which caused him serious sickness. He had learned his lesson though.
+ He loves cleaniness.



*Bunbun* :3


Nickname(s)
Stinky Bun (i.e. 臭笨), Good Girl Bun, Fat Pig Bun (i.e. 肥豬笨)
Background
She’s the mother of Totoro. I have no idea how old she is, but it seems she has been out on the street for several years before she was found at the warehouse. My friend believed that she actually had two kids but there’s only Totoro left.
Little Stories
+ When I first met Bunbun, I was in love with her character already. She is cute and nice, which wants me (a stranger at that time) to pet her immediately.
+ She’s very protective of herself and her son. When my friend brought a dog, Bunbun immediately run “sideways” and attacked the dog. My friend had to flee the scene immediately before Bunbun kills anyone.
+ I’ve brought her to the vet once, where a dog was sniffing her cage and walking around her. She shook the cage so hard that the dog was afraid of her from that moment on and was hiding under the chairs the whole time.
Love & Hates
+ She loves being pet. She will bump her head to you (very hardly!) to ask you to pet her.
+ She hates dogs
+ She hates it when human or cats disturb her or invade her spot (even walking by). She will hiss without a thought
+ She loves food. And that’s why her tummy is so big. I guess this is the character she has built from being on the streets from years.
+ She hates the litter box. I mean, there must be some reason she hates it but I can’t figure out. I’ve asked several vets and cat owners but none of their solution worked. So I guess I just have to cope with it.
+ She hates people touching her claws.
+ She basically hates Meowmeow, and will hiss at him everytime he gets close.



Nickname(s)
Mei-Mei, Stinky Meow, Baby (?! Only my mother-in-law calls him this name in the house and he never responds to this name)
Background
My husband took him home when he saw him in a box near his house. He’s already pass 10 years old now. He’s been a happy cat ever since.
My brother-in-law used to take care of him, but since he had relocated, we’ve been assigned to take care of Meow Meow.
Little Stories
+ Before I had Totoro and Bunbun, Meowmeow is my only opportunity to get close with cats. He actually made me love cats even more.
+ Since Sam and I got married, all three cats were in the same house together. It has been hard for all of them to get along.
Love & Hates
+ He loves to get your attention by lying on the floor and turning from one side to another side. This is how he gets people to give him a big fat massage.
+ He loves treats. But he can no longer eat much of that because of his health issues.
+ He is very timid. He gets scared easily and doesn’t respond to you that well. He used to be afraid of strangers but he is getting at that over the years.
