Siblings on Sunday

Furriends,
I got news from my siblings. Isn't that the coolest thing? I haven't heard from them since we parted when we were 14 weeks old.
My brofur Thjure lives with another orange mancat called Buffy.
Check out the pawsome floof on his tail. He's my brofur for sure!
He looks like much fun, don't you think?
And that's not me, but my sisfur. She's called Rana nowadays. My mom always tells me that we looked like twins. She has grown into a beautiful ladycat and I'm happy to hear that both Thjure and her are doing fine.

But talking about sisfurs. Did you see that my BSIF (Big Sister in Floof), Fin, is retiring from blogging? Both her and Momo took me under their floofy tails when I started blogging and I will always be grateful for what I've learned from them and the good times we had. Family is impawtant but if you're lucky you meet very special furriends along the way and they can become at least equally impawtant. Finny sure is such a furriend!
Fin is a Mousey fan just like me!
Enjoy the good life, BSIF and please visit from time to time. I will sure miss you!
Your Little Sister in Floof,
Siena

Furriends,
I have a reputation for being a little silly Chilli because sometimes I see ghosts. That means that I go all poofy and cautious.
I have to admit that it makes me wonder if there's REALLY something given that Siena and mom are blissfully unaware on most occasions. So imagine my disturbance, when I saw this last weekend:
What on earth?! Is it raining men now?
I composed myself a little when mom explained that this apparition was an arborist who was called to cut out dead wood from our Birch tree. I guess I'm okay with that!
Purrs,
Chilli

Firefly

Small animals that fly and pulled out a flickering light that we often encounter in certain areas at night is a beetle called firefly.

How does a firefly have a lamp and produce electrical energy?
Light is produced in special organs called photophores located in the lower abdomen. They consist of several layers of small reflector cells and a layer of light-producing cells. Light-producing cells contain nerves, air tubes, and two types of chemicals, luciferin and luciferase enzyme. When luciferin is activated by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and luciferase, combine with oxygen in the air tube; this reaction produces energy in the form of light, heatless greenish-yellow-orange-red.

From these research that fireflies do not have lights and electricity in his body, they have the light generated from the chemical luciferin and luciferase enzyme.
The fireflies are still widely available in rural areas or areas that are still there are many plants and trees. Their light functioned fatherly attract their mates.
