Alexander

I started writing this last week tapi disebabkan gangguan disana sini, internet connection kat rumah yang kejap laju kejap selow, PK plak balik kampung, so segala urusan domestiknya telah diserahkan tanpa segan silu i.e bagi makan Alex, bg makan Jojo, Makcik Diva & the gang, pegi rumah CikguMat, tido, macam2 la...hehehee...alasan kan?  Anyway, i wrote something about Alex the cat.  I saw Alex the dog the other day but since i dah lama tak jumpa dia, so dia telah buat donno, either she wasn't hungry or dia dah tak kenal...couldn't be kan?  I thought daya ingatan diaorang ni superb and furthermore, idak le lama sesangat i tak jumpa dia.  Anyway, i'll write about her some other time, together with the other canines.

Alex always has her way of stealing my attention.  She climbs slowly onto my lap whenever i'm using the laptop.  She'll adjust herself to find the most comfortable position.  She doesn't need me to talk to her though she'll definitely answer whenever i calls her name.  All she need is just a few stroke, and she'll just doze off.


She was named after 'Alexander the Great'; it is a coincidence (or somehow the name affected her?) that her behavior matches the grandeur of the warrior.  Alex always has her way to be on top.  She used to climbed on the curtains and of course tore them bit by bit until the whole thing ripped apart.  She is always at the highest place; above all the others.  She watches everything from top, as a king would ... Alex has the ability to jump from a wall to another and to the glass sliding door; she banged herself so loud that i always thought that one day the whole thing will be shattered. 


A great individual is usually unique in many ways.  Alex will always do things the harder way.  As PK mentioned, Alex has her own way of drinking water.  She drinks from running tap or from big pail with her four legs wide open.  Once, she fell into the pail but she quickly jumped out of the water instantly.  That's when i realised that i should always fill the pail up to the fullest so that she doesn't have to lower down her head too low that she'll loose her balance.  Her way of drinking water is now followed by a few other FCs.  Alex used to be fond of water.  She would run to the sink whenever she hears the tap running.  She could spend time hours (exaggerate sikit...hehe) watching and playing with water.  No matter how much Alex loves water she doesn't like to be bathed.  She'd scream her lungs out whenever we tried to get her cleaned.  She'd just let her wet fur dry by itself even if it'll take hours to get dried since she'll never ever lick herself.


As she grows up, Alex still plays with water though not as often as when she was small.  I saw her with Chut (another water freak) near the washing machine this afternoon, waiting for the water to be drained down.  She doesn't climb on my curtains anymore though she still loves higher spots.  She maintains her slender body; she has nice shiny coat and perfect straight, long tail.  She choose only to hang around her sister, Cik Oli; her mom, Tam-Tam and Poi; maybe because those are the familiar faces since she was born.  She conquers a spot on the shelf where only Cik Oli and her can sit or sleep; exception is only for Junior, others will definitely be chased off.


Every cat is unique; they have their own personality.  Alex is definitely different from the others.  In fact she is unique in so many ways.  She made me mad the first time i saw the torn curtain, she made me go crazy when she was jumping around the walls but above all; she colours my life & anyway, the torn curtain is a good excuse to change to new ones...kan?
