Belly at Large: Cambodian Kittens

Hi everyone,<br /><br />Dao's here, not Belly. Being a Crazy Cat Lady (CCL) without a cat is hard. I miss my Belly. I miss his fuzzy face, his smart-alec meows, his passion for turkey, and his constant bugging me for head and tummy rubs. Yes, I miss his good, bad, and ugly. I just miss him.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQ1PHHERHPECvCWRs61Dk7Q_Wkv7U5jGz8ZVlcMETuqneiCajE4uCPs1YIntydsvLpR-cq-oxjBgIrrbHibxLsbpaC43fwe3PmbRaU-eGtiS4YO40a72Mp0sHdgwbiQijRMdque8pmhJH/s1600/IMG_0445.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQ1PHHERHPECvCWRs61Dk7Q_Wkv7U5jGz8ZVlcMETuqneiCajE4uCPs1YIntydsvLpR-cq-oxjBgIrrbHibxLsbpaC43fwe3PmbRaU-eGtiS4YO40a72Mp0sHdgwbiQijRMdque8pmhJH/s400/IMG_0445.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Adorable Belly looked so thoughtful.

When I visited Cambodia, I saw a litter of kittens on the boat and my heart melted.

Belly at Large: Kitty Cousins

Hi everybody,<br /><br />Since coming back to Vietnam, I miss my cat Belly dearly. To pacify my needs to hug him and call him with an assortment of nicknames, I have taken pictures of cats whenever I can. During my last trip to Ca Mau, I met this kitty at my relative's place. The cat doesn't have a name. He's just a cat.<br /><br />At first, when he saw me, this cat ran away. He was a fast runner, too. However, the power of persuasion via the camera was a force to be reckoned. Soon enough, I got The Cat to pose for me:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsI66Q8625S556nJfNbIFFNcgsg6T_lQUKObr-PkNr7xxjxmY-dihua-6tWVBE66X0Lc7a4jqQS2bSUeVIiWfpNbXgsip785NQI0kQngFpZe1yFGk_bVXihrgVzeMUxCydF5x6hqug0G3y/s1600/IMG_1068.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsI66Q8625S556nJfNbIFFNcgsg6T_lQUKObr-PkNr7xxjxmY-dihua-6tWVBE66X0Lc7a4jqQS2bSUeVIiWfpNbXgsip785NQI0kQngFpZe1yFGk_bVXihrgVzeMUxCydF5x6hqug0G3y/s400/IMG_1068.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At first, The Cat was shy.

That's a fully grown Vietnamese cat. Over here, a cat is considered big if he/she is around 8 lbs. Belly the American cat weighs around 20! The Cat didn't meow at all and his fur pattern is interesting: white and stripped at the same time. I have never seen a cat like that before.<br /><br />And guess whose tail this is:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEuH63bUfILIpU2wQ9LxZfE5qW2eAqzU_Vq6cD41tswV7R2bQxPQyGjR1dREmlMp2EuKv0zuJdABm6UqCJiciO9s9vDhKi7zl4Cv3MKbGFE8-q_cKn4R7hxfbkjOIRRBagAZsS7qavthi/s1600/IMG_1341.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEuH63bUfILIpU2wQ9LxZfE5qW2eAqzU_Vq6cD41tswV7R2bQxPQyGjR1dREmlMp2EuKv0zuJdABm6UqCJiciO9s9vDhKi7zl4Cv3MKbGFE8-q_cKn4R7hxfbkjOIRRBagAZsS7qavthi/s400/IMG_1341.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />Yup, it's an orange kitty cat. Actually, two of them currently live in the attic and they make awful lot of noises. Somehow, they managed to dig a hole in the wall. The material fell down while my dad was tying his shoes underneath. Luckily, he was sitting a couple of inches away from the wall. Otherwise, it could have been a nasty accident.<br /><br />One interesting detail: cats in Vietnam meow differently than cats in the U.S. Maybe I was used to Belly's Southern meowing twang but his sounds are a lot softer and gentler. Cats over here just meow as if their lives depend on it.<br /><br />So yes, Belly now has some kitty cousins. I wonder if they could understand each other. Belly needs to find those Rosetta Meow CDs and learn how to meow in Vietnamese :)<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/?action=view&current=endcredit.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/shortylam/endcredit.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">P.S: If you like my blog, please </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border: 0pt none; vertical-align: middle;" /></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyMakeupBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">subscribe to my feed.</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Thanks a lot!</span></td></tr></tbody></table>

Belly at Large: How It All Began

Hi everyone,<br /><br />A couple of days ago, I went through my photo albums in my laptop and realized Belly has been in my life two years. The first pictures I had of him was taken in March 2nd, 2009. It took me more than a year to persuade him to <a href="http://mymakeupblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/belly-at-large-change-your-lash-curler.html">blog here</a>. Since then, the Home Kitty has been globally recognized as one of the top felines in the beauty and lifestyle blog world. It's just a tip of the iceberg as Belly the cat is extremely talented. The only things he lacks are opposable thumbs, which makes it difficult for him to type. But he recently acquired the Dragon Naturally Speaking software for cats and he is going to post more in the future.<br /><br />For those who are not familiar of Belly's upbringing, the story is <a href="http://mymakeupblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/im-back.html">here</a>. But anyways, the first time we met happened as followed:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi-2CzqPRq2AbwLEC28ak13Ko80YG9K_ousqmkRmZ1XgFJQg1YO-jXilk_nS1OR_xHPt5BVufQ6KpRzBPWVKX_A23XePnROrpYeL-BKYiHzPO7spV1rT_U7aDtitD3NtCLW1YnW1O36ufh/s1600/IMG_0859.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi-2CzqPRq2AbwLEC28ak13Ko80YG9K_ousqmkRmZ1XgFJQg1YO-jXilk_nS1OR_xHPt5BVufQ6KpRzBPWVKX_A23XePnROrpYeL-BKYiHzPO7spV1rT_U7aDtitD3NtCLW1YnW1O36ufh/s400/IMG_0859.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> It was a rare sunny day when winter slowly turned to spring.

Belly at Large: No, I Won't Hold It Against Britney

Hello humans,<br /><br />Wow, yours truly is exhausted! Since la mamarazzi went to Vietnam, I've been so emo. To cheer myself up, I decided to read some Naruto. So far, I'm at volume 27. I think the whole story was based on my young life as a kitten. After all, I'm so fierce and handsome. Am I right or am I right?<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLip61Nx_Stt9SezZNYycLavarYeqDgPRvsVRCNyCKzf0s_h_EVIiJWW1HwNdDpPEKWkFLL3FEUqEDUzJoOz_BwSegSTydZWAw2YM-eC7KStLt-5Iq7kcisxPmZVvAnlnNFTIH2egdiKF/s1600/IMG_3887.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLip61Nx_Stt9SezZNYycLavarYeqDgPRvsVRCNyCKzf0s_h_EVIiJWW1HwNdDpPEKWkFLL3FEUqEDUzJoOz_BwSegSTydZWAw2YM-eC7KStLt-5Iq7kcisxPmZVvAnlnNFTIH2egdiKF/s400/IMG_3887.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I stayed up all night reading Naruto :)</td></tr></tbody></table>And then, guess what? Britney's new music video "Hold It Against Me" was released yesterday. I waited and waited to take a crack at it but then I fell asleep again. It's so hard out there for a cat who reads Naruto, yo! But la mamarazzi, being a tiger mom that she is, had to <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MyMakeupBlog/status/38608414997364736">tweet about it</a>. The woman wanted my opinion, for Heaven's sake!<br /><br />Normally, I don't do this kind of thing. I am a cat, not a consultant. And I <3 la Britney. But as a cat, I'm also curious. It's my nature and I can't ignore new things. So I went online and took a look at the vid. If you haven't watched it already, I embedded it for you. See, humans, I do love you and I do care about you. Although it's so hard to type without opposable thumbs.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="311" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-Edv8Onsrgg?rel=0" title="YouTube video player" width="500"></iframe><br /><br />You want to hear what I think? Jump, humans, jump!<br /><br /><a name="more"></a>First of all, I'm Team Britney all the way, y'all. It's so hard to believe Brit-Brit has been around for 11 years already. "Baby One More Time" still puts a bounce in my steps. I've browsed Twitter extensively for the last 24 hours and there are mixed reviews of "Hold It Against Me." It's hard to hate la Brit-Brit. She's so pretty and precious at the same time. I almost forgot The Dark Age, aka the Blackout album. But "Gimme More" is so addictive, though.<br /><br />But again, this is about "Hold It Against Me." With my lack of opposable thumbs, it's going to be HIAM from now on.<br /><br />My short and final answer is: No, I won't hold it against Britney. And let me tell you why:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>1.

It may be a reconstructed version of the sports bra she wore in "Baby One More Time." She needs to. That woman has two kids after all. She needs all the help she can get.<br /><br />Now, although this post may sound catty (and I, el Gato Supremo, am a cat,) I love Britney from the bottom of my heart. Girlfriend still can move it move it like it was 1999 and I give her a lotta credit for that. Back then, there were Britney and Christina and many other pop singers.

Belly at Large: Missing My Bel-Bel

Hi everybody,<br /><br />This week, I'm blogging on behalf of Belly. Home kitty is too emo to send me a post. I called my neighbor last week and got a chance to talk to Belly, who was so excited to hear my voice that he licked the phone. I miss that fuzzy face and his morning breath when he tried to wake me up so early in the morning. Belly is such a dear to me and I just want to squeeze him up.<br /><br />Before I left, we did an impromptu photo session. As usual, Belly was poise but somehow, his poses were different this time.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilPqF4iqxlbPZ_UcV0jf2cpfhi0NobFOslQMsNlShww74-cL_AP7o_XQwsuVcQElCMEHdKDe8slcElzjdW22_qtXbGr47mMr58vRaT6XQli9tLRpQr_yP2m3Ywfx4Z2yIXUY0UGFDtBQxM/s1600/IMG_0710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilPqF4iqxlbPZ_UcV0jf2cpfhi0NobFOslQMsNlShww74-cL_AP7o_XQwsuVcQElCMEHdKDe8slcElzjdW22_qtXbGr47mMr58vRaT6XQli9tLRpQr_yP2m3Ywfx4Z2yIXUY0UGFDtBQxM/s400/IMG_0710.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"Heeeey!"<br />Belly's classic stank eyed look</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJe0Bmv8Dsa9yyOV3r-pAaGjeJyS4R9WILMJQedx33l9RYsP-ykn_MOkTAZBujeKqmq-jj3EWqbFraA_OdM7s19CktEnQlIc6slRjkzPgyh6U8YXo2er0idmTqx5VHhnSAl_yr1nCOK6IV/s1600/IMG_0714.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJe0Bmv8Dsa9yyOV3r-pAaGjeJyS4R9WILMJQedx33l9RYsP-ykn_MOkTAZBujeKqmq-jj3EWqbFraA_OdM7s19CktEnQlIc6slRjkzPgyh6U8YXo2er0idmTqx5VHhnSAl_yr1nCOK6IV/s400/IMG_0714.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"What?

Then, she went on and on complaining that if I were her son, she would have bandaged me by now. Well, it doesn't happen. At least I'm a good fighter.<br /><br />That's all for today. I hope you enjoyed the story.
