oh no, not again ...

called home yesterday and when i wanted to talk to my nephew, mom said he was just back from the doctor. i asked and got to know that apparently he was just back from the vet, fetching andres home. mom said that andres has liver problem! this reminded me of jimmy, valentine, and valencia. my God - not another one!
well andres is sick since he was a baby. somebody threw him, his siblings, and his momma out and they were living at my neighbour's area and mom provided them with food everyday. one by one all his siblings were gone, he was left with his mom alone. until one day mom saw him alone that mom decided to take him in. after all he's a cute little kitten.
once home he always sleep in the garage under the car and we notice that once he had his meal, his tummy would be so big that we brought him to the vet. that was when we knew he had hunger oedem and had to be on medication for quite some time. the problem was that we really had to take care on the medication as too much of it may led to heart attack. poor andres.
well, he grew up to be one of the lovely cats we had. his nick was tuyul as he is so smart in capturing our heart. when he saw us walking towards where he was standing, he would quickly acted cute so that we would stop and patted him. he is the only cat who dared to come close and even played with jimmy, the misfit after too much bullying the other cats in defence of his mischiveous sister, milly jr. whenever one of the cat was sick and had to be separated from others, he would be standing in front of the cage - probably showing support the cat way. i remembered when mom went back to singapore, andres went missing for days and all of us including mom who favours andres among the others (due to his sweet act) and he came back home just one day after mom's back with all this strange perfume smell on him. sweet little andres.
he is always there in the middle of a family gathering, he will occupy one chair whenever there's guest at home and he is the one that made my brother in-law likes cat!. everytime my brother in-law came by he would climbed and sat next to him, moving around showing his charm. a tuyul indeed.
there was once when he had an accident that we brought him to the hospital and the vet told us that she needed to operate him and put a metal in to fix the broken leg. we felt so sad seeing this active tuyul couldn't climb up the bed and we had to make sure he was out doing his business, as he was the only cat who couldn't do his business at the toilet or garden, he needed his litter box to do it. and on the night of hari raya, we heard a 'cling' sound and saw him running up the stairs. brought him to the vet the following day and the vet could only said that he didn't have any explanation on this - how the metal went out by itself & his leg was perfectly back to normal! miracle the vet said, typical tuyul we said :).
the only cat who eats durian, turnip, veggies, and all other stuff that you gave him. the only cat who wants to try whatever you're holding, the only cat who's always there during our meal so that we can give some to him, and the only cat who will stand in front of the snack cupboard asking for some whenever i'm home.
well, due to his rotten tooth, his liver was infected so now he had to go on a drip. he'll be brought to the hospital in the morning and fetch home in the evening for few days. i hope all's well with him and he can stay being our tuyul for more years to come.
