Gaga came to us, or rather, my aunt when he and his two sisters were born in the roof of my aunt's house (that's between the roof tiles and insulation in case you thought there was a typo). They were abandoned by their frail mother, which never came back to retrieve or care for them. After a few days of crying, my aunt decided to bring them down, fearing they could die and causing the place to stink. The retrieval process was tedious, especially with Gaga, who refused to come down.. running around avoiding capture despite having nothing to eat or drink for days. 

My mom agreed to take them in temporarily, bringing them to her kindergarten everyday to see if any parents or teachers would like to adopt them. Gaga was the clear favourite as he has very nice fur patterns. One of the teachers agreed to take him, but changed her mind last minute. There were no takers for the others.. so, guess we were keeping them all!

The names were given by one of my maid's, Ping, perhaps trying to match the names of another two kittens (Bo Bo and Cha Cha). Therefore, Ga Ga's name has nothing to do with one eccentric American singer. Ga Ga is a male-cat after all. I have no idea what it means in Cambodian.

Just a few weeks old, he was reigning terror in the house, with seeming unlimited supply of energy. My parents described him as the naughtiest cat in house. However, he had many pleasant surprises in store for us.

Nooo... the lighttt..! 

As it turned out, Ga Ga is quite the sweet heart. He has never hissed at anyone or anything. When we brought Brandy (our first dog) home as a puppy, scared and barking away (with cute litten arf-arfs), the other cats were unamused and unfriendly. Ga Ga stepped up and accompanied the new puppy all day and night. Even when Ellie came in, while cats a typically hostile to another which "invades" their territory, Ga Ga was quite the gentlemen, eagerly welcoming her home.

Ga Ga is also quite the comedian. My dad says he has a "funny" face, like a clown. I just think he looks blur, as he does give a "huh. what's going on?" kind of face. Of course, something he does is also quite amusing and cute.  

I don't need to be in a basket to squash you!

Ga Ga is also Remy's favourite kitten in the house. In fact, he is every cats favourite cat, they all love him.
