Mera came up just when I was leaving for work. I called his name, his tail shot up like a flag pole. Hat does that too, all the time. Funny. I fed Mera, and pushed him into the house so he could talk to Spencer. Auntycat had her breakfast too.

I called the vet to make an appointment for Hat tomorrow. I told the lady at the other end of the line that it is for a new cat, she sort of chuckled to herself. She asked for pet's name, I said Xiao Bai. She correctly assumed that it is a white colored domestic short hair. Hmph. I guess if it is a pure breed, he would have some fancy pancy names like Snowbell, Lord Percy Blanc, Simba and such like. Actually, Xiao Bai is the name given by kindly neighbour. I named Hat as Hat or 帽子，because of the tabby patch on his head. Too difficult to explain to the vet, so Xiao Bai it is.

No sign of the ear-mited one tonight, even after I shook the keys.
