Meet the Feline Family: Our Unique Nine

Kinkin – The fearless explorer and first to join us, Kinkin is always ready to check out new spaces. Whether it’s inspecting a new nook in the house to sleep at for the rest of the day or keeping a close eye on the garden’s lizards, Kinkin’s curiosity knows no bounds.

Coco – Our fluffy sweetheart, Coco is a gentle, affectionate soul who loves cuddling up for naps. She’s the definately the boss of the house and is often found happily lounging by Kinkin’s side.

Otis – The energetic youngster, Otis has boundless energy and a curious spirit that’s contagious. He’s the first to chase after a butterfly or investigate new plants, bringing laughter and excitement wherever he goes.

Som – Once a stray, Somsom came into our lives unexpectedly and became a beloved member of our family. Now a devoted mother, she cares for her kittens with a fierce love and gentle patience that is beautiful to watch.

Som’s Kittens – These five little ones are the latest additions, each already developing their own personalities. They’re learning from their mother while also finding their place in the group dynamic, exploring and playing every chance they get.

Life in the Tropics: What Our Cats Love Most

Nighttime Shenanigans
As the sun sets, our cats come alive with playful energy, turning the house into a playground. Otis, in particular, leads the charge, with Kinkin and Coco often joining in for nighttime sprints, pounces, and playful chases.

Endless Exploration
From the indoor nooks to the lush outdoor greenery, our cats have a world of their own to explore. Each day brings new plants, bugs, and views, giving them endless entertainment and mental stimulation.

Birdwatching and Lizard Chasing
Thailand’s tropical climate means an abundance of wildlife, and our cats can often be found perched by the windows or lounging outside, mesmerized by the local birdlife and darting lizards.

Sunbathing in Style
The Thai sun is a cat’s dream come true! Our cats love sprawling out on their favorite spots, basking in the warmth. Som’s kittens are even picking up this habit, lining up beside her in a pile to soak up the rays.

The Challenges and Joys of Cat Parenting in Thailand

Adapting to Thai Culture and Lifestyle
Our move has taught us a lot about balancing a lifestyle where our pets can thrive while respecting local customs and pet care practices in Thailand. It’s a learning experience, but we’re embracing it and finding ways to make it work for our feline family.

Navigating Tropical Pests
With the joys of nature come the occasional pest challenges. We have to be vigilant about protecting our cats from mosquitoes, ticks, and any other threat, especially with the younger kittens around.

Creating Safe Outdoor Spaces
Balancing their love for the outdoors with safety, we’ve crafted cozy nooks and secure spaces so they can safely enjoy the garden. Somsom especially seems to appreciate the outdoor area we built for her and her kittens.

Moments That Melt Our Hearts

Kinkin and Coco’s Bond
Kinkin and Coco have a special relationship—they’re often side-by-side, playing, grooming each other, or curled up together. Their bond is unbreakable and a joy to witness daily.

Naps in the Garden
There’s nothing quite like the sight cats lounging in the garden, sprawled out on cushions and enjoying the gentle evening breeze. It’s a reminder of the joy of a simple, slow life.

Som and Her Kittens’ Bond
Watching Somsom care for her kittens is incredibly heartwarming. She’s a doting mother, constantly grooming and cuddling them. Her resilience and love have been an inspiration to us.

Why We Love This Life with Our Cats

Living in Thailand has given us the chance to embrace a slower, more connected lifestyle, and our cats have been at the heart of this journey. They bring us laughter, warmth, and a unique rhythm to our days that’s shaped by their quirks and personalities. As we share our lives with these nine precious souls, we’re reminded daily of the simple joys of companionship, love, and the beauty of a life lived with our furry family.
