THEN and NOW Part 2

Continued from previous post.

Hercules @ Abang

Then (July 2006) Then (Oct 2006) Now (Nov 2007)

Ahahah every time i look at the then pic (first photo) I would laugh my heads out. Hercules was adopted on July 1, 2006 (with Isabelle) from the IPR. When we got him, he was down with flu, was so scared and was called Tina for God knows whatever reason the IPR has. He has since a kid accompanied us when cleaning his letter tray. Now Constantine has taken over that job but Hercules still comes to watch us cleans their litter scoop - he's indeed excited to see the tap water flow and the sound of brushing. He would when we come back from work, greet us everytime without fail by patting our thighs with his two front paws. He loves to be kissed on the forehead and is an indeed a very loving brother towards Alexander and Constantine. Hercules's most obvious trait is his ears, they have outgrown him ever since he was small - ears of the Gremlins!


Alexander @ Abang Chik a.k.a Stuart Little

Then (Aug 2006) Then (Sept 2006) Now (Nov 2007)

Alexander is the only one adopted from PAWS in Aug 2006. He was cute, used to like watching soccer with Ayah on TV and always caught sleeping in awkward positions. He was like the character Howard in the movie Benchwarmers as he spent most of his time under the sofa during his first 2 weeks at home. He then grew attached to his sister Gabby (as seen in the second photo) and until now he would now and then snuggle with her. He is also very attached to Hercules (as seen in the Now photo). Alexander is suffering from hormonal deficiency affecting his tail (used to be really bushy like Gabby's) Because of the hormone pills we're giving him, the fur on his neck gets bushy instead (see Now Photo) Of all the kids, Alexander is the most vocal but lucky for his hormonal imbalance, the voice is rather squeaky than husky - perhaps he's really Stuart Little?


Napoleon @ Fatty

Then (Dec 2006) Now (Nov 2007)

Napoleon was adopted from Ayah's neighbor in Shah Alam. From a nearly a stray (because the previous owner didn't take good care of him - his white fur was yellowish when we took him) to a well groomed eating machine. So far since we practiced closed door policy to our bedroom (no more cats are allowed inside) only Napoleon is somehow allowed to be in as he behaves well compared to the others. Napoleon would be the guard of their kibbles bowl and every time either Ayah or Abah enters the kitchen, there he would be eating. He has grown so huge that Abah calls him "Fatty Fatty Bom Bom". Napoleon would every morning bid us good bye by rushing to the door and lying down legs up not allowing us to go to work. You wont stand a chance to see Napoleon during most of the day as he would be sleeping underneath the sofa until it is time for tea.


Constantine @ Kenit

Then (July 2007) Then (Oct 2007) Now (Nov 2007)\

This little guy has grown from an ugly duckling to a fluffy fur ball in just a matter of months. The first photo was taken when he was about 2 weeks old, the second at 4 months and now at a matured 5 months. Constantine adopted himself well with his siblings and has become the tai koh in the house. He has taken the place of Hercules whenever Abah or Ayah cleans their litter tray in the mornings and evenings. He would sit and watch us clean his poo poo and would be the first to use the cleaned litter tray. Constantine doesn't like to be picked up and would growl (sometimes snort like an oink oink whenever he demands to be put down) Always curious, he likes to play with drinking straws and chases his tail whenever he realizes he has one. Cute!
