Cakes and Kittens

Well, I mentioned before that Nok and I were suckers for animals. Nok seems to be more so than me, but I’m not far behind. Last night when I came home from work, I was shocked to see a tiny little kitten come strolling out of the bathroom. I shouted in surprise. Seems Nok found the little thing next to the dumpsters behind our building. There was a kid playing with the cat at the time who told Nok that the kitten needed a home. Nok snatched it up and took it home.

Now, actually the kitten is very clean and a bit fat, which makes me think she had a home before. Looks like the previous owners let her get a little bigger and stronger then sent her out in the world alone. At first, I emphatically said we had to put the cat back on the street. But, I’m a sucker too, and it wasn’t long before I was thinking about keeping her.

The biggest issue is that we would need to find a home for her in a year when we leave Taiwan. I’ve contacted the people who gave us Scroggins, and if they say they can help out, then we will most likely keep the kitten.

On another note, I was able to get store credit for that crappy bicycle that attacked me a few weeks ago. Rather than buying another crappy bicycle, Nok and I bought a little oven. So we’ve been baking away the last week. Last night I made my first chocolate cake in about four years! Oh man, it was sweet. Mmmm… Chocolate cake….

The kitten is absolutely fearless, and quickly made himself at home on the desk.

The tasty chocolate cake. If the frosting looks a bit sickly, that’s because it’s impossible to find vanilla or cocoa here in Taiwan.

That’s some tasty cake.
