Tale of Woo and Koo - Chapter 5


Boy in his own way

Diet of Woo !!

Success of diet !!

Woo was fat and getting fatter and fatter in winter. Woo is too fat not to reach his hips. Woo sits on the place where he sprayed and dropped soft one and then he has his hips dirty. And he cannot lick his hips to make them clean by himself.

One day soft one dropped by him hardened on his hips to plug his anus. We had them removed with cloth moistening by hot water. But the condition was getting worse. We got aware of this fatal condition and decided to let Woo thorough diet in November.

His thorough diet succeeded in a month. He became slim to reach his own hips to eat sft drops and clean. We want to note that too much feeding doesn't make them happy.

Wow ! You are a boy !

Woo is a boy !!

Just after the second Christmas came for Woo and Koo, an unbelievable fact made us be at a loss. Woo is always interesting in his own territory to spray onto the corners and ends and to leave his own smell. Woo sometimes bite us if we reach our hands into his cage in spring and autum. Koo likes clean place and always makes herself clean. Koo often hardens soft place (ex. on soft cushion) by her feets which seems to be mother's behavior, but Woo never do the same. We had been thinking Woo's behavior may be male one despite pet shop clerk told us Woo is female.

We check the one of Woo many times refering some books and concluded that Woo is a boy ! We repeated to Woo many times "Wow ! You are a boy !"

Woo's mansion !!

Cedar Chip Garden !

After the second New Year, Woo still sprays anywhere whenever he plays outside of his cage. We always have to watch him. Finally he cannot have so much time to enjoy outside of his cage. He gets lack of exercise. We thought and decided to give him a large mansion having cedar chips gardens.
Woo can spend most of time outside of his cage. And he can enjoy jumping in the Cedar Chip Garden. Further the chips are so fragrant that work as deodorant.

Attention !!
Recently I received a well-intentioned mail to let me know the danger of cedar chip. I appreciate his mail very much. I found the report to say it. So I don't recommend to use cedar chip as bedding.

Lovely mansion !!

In the middle of February, spring will come after a little more cold days. Woo seems to like a new mansion with cedar chip gardens. The gardens were made for the place for Woo to spray and drop. But he does in his cage. He is outside of his cage overnight to run and play and then he spends time to sleep in daytime.
