Above all, I want to introduce to you my ever-delightful pets, each performing its odd behaviors in our house. This one in the photo above is our family's overweight cat, Mingming. My youngest sister cadged her from our subdivision's garbage lot by the creek almost six years ago. We didn't want Mingming to go hungry although we did not expect she'd grow as gargantuan as she is now. All she does is to sleep, eat, shit, and groom. Plus this old, fat, and hostile cat doesn't want to be stroked but we fondle her large belly anyway.
