Abah Writing from the Hospital.

I am writing from the hospital bed on the 6^th night being away from my kids at home. I really miss Isabelle, Gabbrielle, Victoria, Hercules, Alexander, Napoleon and Constantine. Since I’ve only got my hands on the laptop today after Ayah sent it to me at the hospital (Thanks Ayah) I waited no longer to express my longing for the cute little paws.

Dear Ayah,

thanks very much for taking care of the furballs while I am gone. I owe you. I trust you with the kids as I know how much you really love them. I also know that no matter what happens to me, no matter when, be it now, tomorrow, sooner or later, I can depend on you to take very good care of the kids. Do love and care for them. They need you and they know they can rely on you no matter what. I rather them to be in your care than anyone else’s.

Dear Kids,

Behave and look after each other. Don't bully Ayah OK? I hope you haven’t forgotten me after I’m gone for this long 'vacation' in the hospital. I am not sure how long more I’ll be gone but I assure you guys I am, and will be okay and up and running soon. I’ve dreamt of all of you at home just this morning and I have been trying to recall the dream over and over again because I miss you all dearly. Thanks to Ayah who keeps sending me photos of you playing at home, you guys surely look like you’re very naughty and bullying Ayah ya? And thank you for the lovely card with your paw prints on it - they're really sweet.

If you didn’t realize, I was not well during Aidilfitri when Ayah was away at his hometime. I’m sure you could see me locking myself in the room and not playing with you outside. I am really sorry as that was not my intention. I tried my best to take care of your needs until Ayah gets back. Especially sorry to Hercules and Constantine for not going out to buy your fresh milk. I could see it in your eyes how you wanted it whenever I am out of the room for a glass of water – sorry dear but I wasn’t able to drive.

Thank God that I am OK now, although not fully recovered but miraculously with two recent cerebellar stroke attacks I am still able to move my hands. I am sure God has His reasons to still allow me to stroke you and take care of all of you. I promise I will do just that till my last breath.

I can’t wait to be back for us to be a family again. I want to spend hours and hours with you kids. How I miss your purring, you massage when I need one, and of course, the tender loving and care you provide. I just wished they’d allow you in here so that Ayah could bring all of you to visit me but how unfortunate that is impossible,

I am counting days to be home so that we could be reunited as a family once more. Do wait for me kids and most important of all, do not forget me as I will never forget all of you; Isabelle, Gabrielle, Victoria, Hercules, Alexander, Napoleon and Constantine.

I love you all dearly.

Missing you guys at home,
Abah

Cat Litter Tips

Got these useful Cat Litter Tips from Petscorner. Thought of sharing with you guys:

1. Do not place the cat litterbox in a busy spot in your house. Indeed, your cat values its privacy highly.
2. Do not place the cat litter box close to their food dish and water bowl. Indeed, a cat is a very hygienic animal and might stop using the litter box.
3. Clean the litter box regularly. The smell which clings to the litter box itself will thus be removed. The litter box will smell fresh longer.
4. If you have more than one cat in the house, it is preferable to give each cat its own litter box. In any case make sure that no more than two cats have to use the same cat litter box.
5. Why not try a clumping variety of cat litter? The smell absorption is excellent and you need less.
6. Some cats prefer a fine variety of cat litter, whereas others rather have coarse granules. Try out what kind of granules your cat prefers.
7. If you decide to start using another variety of cat litter, mix the new and the old granules the first few times. In this way it is easier for the cat to get used to a new variety of cat litter.
8. Cat litter is often multi-purpose. For example it can be used as a bottom layer in cages for birds and rodents, at the bottom of flower pots, for oil-absorption, in the dustbin for smell absorption or in the garden for soil improvement. Read the instructions on the packaging to find out.

Our bit of Cat Litter experience.

The best cat litter so far is the Fussie Cat lemon scented litters. We have tried several clumping brands and found this particular brand very economical (especially when you buy 10 packs you'll get to redeem a pack of the same size for free) and the odor control excellent. The litter leaves very little traces and of course, whenever and wherever you use clumping litters, make sure the surrounding areas are dry. Always make sure the litter boxes are clean at all times and ensure only 2 cats share a litter box at most.

We LOVE Daddy

Ayah bought the kids a pair of shirt - a rather statement making shirt that says, I LOVE Daddy. They definitely look stunning in the yellow T-shirt especially Alexander - yellow makes him look really like Stuart Little.

Unfortunate for Napoleon, the shirt was a bit tight fitting but he still manage to put it on ahahaha.

Constantine can just see his siblings new t-shirt as he is too small to try on. The only girls who tried was Gabby - we're planning to get another T-shirt for the girls soon. So Isabelle, Gabby and Vicky, wait ahhhh...

Enjoy the pics. More pics HERE.

Love,
Abah & Ayah

Hercules; Then and Now

Ayah said Abah is not being fair to just post a video montage on Gabby. So here is one for our dude son Hercules with a special Reggae Song dedicated to him.
