Constantine and Abah's Pancake

Nope, there's no way we're feeding the kids table scrap - that's a big no no here at our home but Constantine was lucky that morning to be able to lick the syrup off off Abah's plate from his pancake breakfast - lucky you!

Constantine...A FEMALE!!!

Ok, setelah sekian lama delay nak hantar si Constantine sunat, finally last Saturday, me and Syah went to DBKL Vet kat Setapak. Setelah semalaman dikurung dalam bilik reading, si Constantine nih mesti pelik tetiba kena bawak keluar. Tak pernah keluar rumah la katakan..Setibanya di vet tuh, kitorang drop Constantine dan pergi breakfast kat Jusco. 

Dalam pukul 12.00, we went back to the vet to pick up si kecik nih. Tiba2, the doctor tuh bagitau yang si Constantine nih rupanya female.. Hehehehe.. Terkejut kejap. Mana taknya, amik masa kecik tak nampak apa2 pun lagik, then bila dia besar sket, dah penuh bulu tutup satu badan. Tapi takpa, Constantine tetap menjadi antara kucing kesayangan kami. So, bila dah bawak balik, since dia kena bius, masa utk amik gambo la.. Hehehehehe...

Love,

Constantine - A Lady?!!??

We have over a year thought and treated our youngest Constantine as a boy but when we took him (her) to the DBKL - SPCA Neuter Clinic in Setapak recently we were told that he (she) is indeed a LADY!


We were both surprised but it is rather too late to make any changes to her name so Ayah had dubbed her as Miss Constantine or simple Che Constantine in Malay. Wakakak we have another daughter eh? Well, don;t blame it on us, Abah though he saw a pair of testicles when Miss Constantine was a kitten and now, being that furry, no one could actually see what's underneath the coat of thick persian fur.


Sorry girl for mistreating you as a different gender hehehe...


Here's a video of Miss Constantine after the surgery, still confused and under the influence of anesthethics.

Happy Birthday Abah!

Hercules: Look at that Yummy Cake!
Constantine: Can't wait to get my paws in it!

I was Named After...St. Constantine the Great!

(c) KL Pua of Pets Lover Magazine

The Story of St. Constantine the Great of Whom I was Named After from Wikipedia:

Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus (27 February ca. 272 – 22 May 337), commonly known as Constantine I, Constantine the Great, or Saint Constantine (among Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic Christians), was Roman Emperor from 306, and the undisputed holder of that office from 324 to his death. Best known for being the first Christian Roman Emperor, Constantine reversed the persecutions of his predecessor, Diocletian, and issued (with his co-emperor Licinius) the Edict of Milan in 313, which proclaimed religious toleration throughout the empire.
The Byzantine liturgical calendar, observed by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Churches of Byzantine rite, lists both Constantine and his mother Helena as saints. Although he is not included in the Latin Church's list of saints, which does recognize several other Constantines as saints, he is revered under the title "The Great" for his contributions to Christianity.
Constantine also transformed the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium into a new imperial residence, Constantinople, which would remain the capital of the Byzantine Empire for over a thousand years.

Happy Birthday Constantine!

Our Dear Constantine is ONE today, May 30th 2008. Happy Birthday dear Boy. May there be many more happy years to come with you in our lives. Happy Birthday Son.


Love,

The Growler

The last time we heard contantine's meow was when he was a baby. He was really noisy then. But now, he only growls. Does he think he's a dog? Really, never had we once heard him meow anymore. Abah thought Constantine had lost his hearing so he may not be able to learn or remember to meow but Ayah proved me wrong yesterday morning during breakfast. Constantine came when called.


So what's with Constantine and his constant growl? Well, perhaps he just prefers not to meow and make lots of noise like his brothers; Hercules, Alexander and Napoleon. Or perhaps he really thinks he's a dog! What's most important to us is that Constantine, at 8 months old now grows to be a healthy, strong man, whether he meows or growls, it doesn't really matter.

Love,
Abah & Ayah

Our New Mop

Cute Constantine

Cute Constantine, originally uploaded by Syahr-El.

Even though Constantine is the youngest of all, he is indeed the KING of the house. Being the youngest and most playful he is truly everybody's love. At about 5 months old now, Constantine has grown to be a healthy boy waiting to ripen so that Abah and Ayah can send him for neutering. Remember our post on his arrival 5 months ago? He is now handsome with fluffy fur.

Constantine is the central attraction of his brothers Hercules. Alexander and Napoleon. He would, with them run around the house chasing God knows what (sometimes insects like I mentioned in my previous post) but most of the time just pleasure running and destructing whatever comes in between their way.

He dislikes being lifted but enjoys sitting either beside Abah or Ayah when we're watching TV sitting on the sofa. Well, we hope Constantine will grow up to be healthy, furry and most importantly friendly...

Love,
Abah & Ayah

Introducing Constantine: the Really Cute Little Paw

I don't know why for the last few weeks I have been looking around for another cat; this time I was sure I wanted a kitten, preferably an orange coloured one. Well, actually the urge started when we went to visit SPCA and saw, no, not an orange kitten but a black 3 - 4 months old kitten - medium haired, pretty eyes and wanted to adopt it. What stopped me was the idea of parting with RM150 when my wallet was as empty as my bank account. So hehehehe and there I had to abandon the idea of another cat, for the time being.

When we went to buy our kids' monthly supplies at Pet Safari, the IPR was having an adoption campaign so I thought, why not? We've adopted three from them before and the kids are all as healthy as a horse. We saw one we liked, an orange coloured kitten about a month old or maybe less. Very unfortunate for us, the kid was booked. So there we go again empty handed.

A couple of weeks after, I had to fly to Langkawi on work assignment. 3 days 2 nights and when Ayah picked me up from the airport - taadaa! There was this box with the cutest looking kitten I've ever seen. We named him Constantine - a saviour!

Constantine was adopted together with 6 of his other siblings from the Makcik Cleaner at Ayah's office. The other five was adopted by Ayah's office mates and they each paid RM100 for each of the six darlings. I was so happy and delighted for this surprise and even though Constantine isn't really orange (he's actually Brown) he is a God's gift.

Constantine and the rest of the litter - they all have
thick fur underneath their eyes - very pretty indeed.

Constantine is about 3 weeks old, with very strong legs and learning, really learning to use his teeth. We feed him cat's milk as well as mashed Iams mixed with canned food for kittens. Well, it's about time that we have a new addition to the family and with Constantine in, we now have 7 healthy kids.

Hercules was very excited to have a new brother. from the very beginning he had not a problem with the boy. The rest are beginning to get along well with the boy and I guess he's already being accepted there. Today marks the 1st week Constantine is with us. We really hope that Constantine will grow a healthy boy and will fit in well with the rest of our kids. Welcome dear.

Love,
Abah & Ayah.
