Living with Pusakal
Mat adopted us.
“What breed of cat do you have?” I am frequently asked. The long answer is: Cats don’t need to be purebred. Pedigree is redundant in their case because they’re already a super-species, i.e. vicious killing machine in adorable package.
The short answer, delivered proudly, is pusakal or pusang kalye. They came from the street, literally. Animal advocates might call them “rescues”, but in our case there is some dispute over who was the rescuer and who was rescued.
Saffy likes getting into boxes that are too small for her (kitten self-image).

Mat-Mat, Koosi & Saffy are soooo beautiful!
There is a recent addition to my family: Beiber the shih-tzu, adopted from my cousin. Max ignores him, but Beiber is fond of Max, and he follows him around. Kelsey, on the other hand, is being his small but terrible self, pounced on Beiber, giving him an eye scratch a few weeks ago. The eye healed thankfully, but Kelsey is still the boss around the house. It’s hilarious, hahaha!
