Question for the network. How do you celebrate birthdays here? Do you mark it based on the days back home, or the date here? I guess I'm trying to figure out how I should count.

Also, if anyone has any good names for cats, I guess I'm open to suggestions. She's a girl, if that helps.

So are you Japanese, too?

She is, though. And soft. I didn't think she'd be this soft when she was clean.

[penpoint]

Yes, I'm Japanese.

I've never met a cat that wasn't soft.

[numbertwohero]

More of us here than I thought, I guess

I haven't met many cats before. A few strays on the street, or housecats wandering. I've never had a pet before.

[penpoint]

A lot of different Japans, at least.

Ah. I spend a lot of time at the cat cafe, so I see cats daily.

Cats are fairly easy to care for, at least.

[numbertwohero]

I didn't even know there was a cat cafe...

I've got the litter box, and food, and a few toys, but I guess I just want to be sure I'm taking care of her right.

[penpoint]

A friend from my home runs it. It's called Beans!

It sounds like you have the essentials, though.

[numbertwohero]

Good to know. Still, maybe I'll visit your friend's cafe. Seems like they might have some ideas too.

[penpoint]

She does. She knows what she's doing.
