When Dr. Pam turned up with a pet-carrier, I knew that we were in trouble. A grayish monster with a big head stepped out. Mommy and Daddy were so happy. In fact, Mommy spent the whole evening with Dr. Pam, talking about this new monster.

From their conversation, we learned that this monster was badly treated by someone. There is a scar on his right side. Dr. Pam rescued him from the street and kept him in her clinic. However, this monster had been escaping from his cage and damaging bags of dog and cat foods in the clinic. So, Dr. Pam decided that this monster needed another home with more reliable cage.

As usual, Daddy gave us his lecture about animal treatment - telling us to treat this monster as well as Jellicle, the other monster. Well, Daddy really does not need to worry about that. He should lecture these monsters to treat Goodness and me well. The truth is that these cats are fiercer than all the dogs in our neighborhood combined.

This new monster is called, 'Tabby Boy'. Funny name - given by Dr. Pam. I called him 'Flabby Ball'. He was so fat that Mommy said that he looked like a Puffy Fish. Though I have never seen a puffy fish in my life, I guess this type of fish must be really ugly and bloated.

Flabby Ball, (well, okay, not to be rude, since we are very educated canines), Tabby Boy is of a gentler nature than his adopted brother, Jellicle. He has a cute side and that makes Goodness and me laugh. Tabby Boy would walk past Daddy or Mommy and suddenly, he would just collapse and become a soft lump of furry cuteness. That always stop our parents in their track. Many a time, they would cuddle him because he is "so so cute".

Tabby Boy was fat because he never had enough to eat. Whenever, he saw food, he would grabbed as much as possible. To shed those pounds, Dr. Pam gave strict instruction not to overfeed him. However, Daddy did not follow her instruction.

For a few days, Daddy filled the Taddy Boy's food bowl with lots of cat's goodies. Mommy questioned the wisdom of doing that. Daddy's theory was that if Tabby Boy had too much to eat, he would become tired of eating. True to his theory, after a while, Tabby Boy stopped finishing all his food. Today, this fat cat has lost some weights and eats according to his own needs.

Goodness and I hope to live peacefully with these cats. We have been very humble and give them a lot of room to move around. We trust that they will give us a lot of room too.
