We Dream of the Outdoors!

Gabby especially loves the outdoors. Unfortunately, except for the two encounters she had being outdoor alone (yes, she escaped, twice) she doesn't know the danger awaiting. Lucky for her and for us the first time she escaped, she found her way home (we were back late from work) and the second time someone sent her to the guard post (when we were away over the weekend).

Gabby, being her intelligent self always managed to find escape routes, her last was the wet area's blinds, keeps looking for ways to go out. We do pity her for always being indoors except when visiting the vet but we live in a condo and she wouldn't be safe outside, being gorgeous and fat - we're sure many would love to own her, well, being indoors applies to all our kids, not just Gabby anyways.

Since Gabby likes the outdoor so much, we have installed a shelf by the window so that the kids could sit and enjoy looking outside. This has become the kids' favourite napping spot and their connection between the indoors and the outdoors.

We hope you kids enjoy looking at the outdoors, from far that is.. hehehhe

Love,

Victoria II - The Return of the Queen

On 10th September 2006 we visited SPCA (again.. heheheh) just to fill our cravings to be with more cats - well, this is part of our occassional visit to catteries - just to spend time with the adorable kids either at SPCA, PAWS or sometimes at IPR's booth in Plaza Damas on Saturdays.

There were not many cats at this time of the year - maybe due to the weather but one cat particularly attracted us and called to our attention - she was Victoria @ Vicky (a cat i adopted from SCPA in 2000 and died of FeLV) reincarnated, a Blue British Shorthair.

This cat, we named Victoria II was very playful - she likes to bite at any chance she can. We understand she was surrendered because of her playfulness - true enough after nearly a month with us, Victoria II @ Vicky is sort of a vandal - hehehe but we really don't mind at all - she's just being herself.

We decided to adopt Victoria II and paid RM250 for the adoption fees - the most expensive we've paid so far to adopt a child. Unfortunately we couldn't immediately take her home - she has to be spayed before being allowed to leave SPCA - this means another 1 painful week of waiting and anticipating.

We brought Victoria home on Saturday, 16 September 2006. Vicky was at first very passive - i guess she was scared but she easily adapted to the new home and got acquinted with fellow siblings; Isabelle, Gabrielle, Hercules and Alexander.

Like Alexander, Vicky is very attracted to the soccer games that Ayah watches - she would sit in front of the big screen and jumps at any available opportunity to 'catch' the ball on screen.

To Victoria II, we hope you'll find your new home a blast and enjoy your stay here as much as we enjoy having you in the family.

Love,
Abah & Ayah
