Breakfast With Tin's Adopted White Stray Kitten

Breakfast of hot bread of salt "pandesal," white cheese & coffee - with (daughter) Christine Marie Cumagun, (best friend and wife) Pelagia Milado-Cumagun and Tin's adopted white stray kitten June 30, 2014 Marikina City, Philippines

Breakfast with new members of the family are worth remembering.

This morning of June 30th, 2014, breakfast was in celebration of a new addition to our wildlife family.

Christine Marie Milado-Cumagun or Tin-tin, my 1st daughter, whose friend couldn't take care of a stray kitten, volunteered to adopt and bring home her friend's stray white kitten last night.

Although this is over and above the other kittens that are already at home with us, the soft spot in my wild heart, after seeing how vulnerable the kitten is, decided to go along with the project of taking care of another wild life in the family.

Luckily, my best friend and wife, Pelagia "Pet" Cumagun,

came home last night from a training session in Tagaytay

and she brought "pasalubong" (take-home native food) of "kesong puti" (white cheese)

which we all partook for breakfast.

Aside from dining together was the opportune time to discuss matters of wild emotions and wild ideas in addition to the subject (literally on the table) which is wild life:

1.

Pet's excitement of Tacloban City government plans for rehabilitating Typhoon Yolanda victims in connection with her work with Center for Community Transformation;

2.

Tin's recent team-building  activity;

3.

My teaching appointment at University of Santo Tomas consisting of Advertising Practice   (Concept Development) and Natural Science (Earth & Life Science)

I was hoping our regular visitor, the black cat would drop in for  the meal but it wasn't around.

Dead moths, strewn in the garden doesn't normally fit in the ambiance of a pleasant breakfast but in this particular one, when Nature is the ambiance and Science is the conversation, it was picture perfect.

Teachable moment for my daughter, too, was this breakfast; I had the chance to practice correcting my daughter's conclusion that the cats had lepideptora for breakfast as they did with the rodents.

I told her that moths have a short life span and that their job as pollinators are over; so is their life. We have had breakfasts of similar conversation but I must say, this breakfast with Tin's adopted white stray kitten, has been breaking of bread with the white cheese of learning as its butter.
