"Remembering Alf" is a scribble art inspired by Alf, my cat who passed away two years ago. Alf's from-feral-to-family adventure started back in 2012 when I took him in as a kitten and named him Bayn Alfardo "Alf" P. Therpell.
Alf, a less than a month old tuxedo kitten, was sick and crying for his mother. The building caretaker must have known that I was adopting animals and carried him up the ninth floor for me to discover. After a couple of months of quarantine and medication, he finally recovered and was ready to face the world at 5 months old.
It was a whole memorable six years with him despite all the challenges we've gone through together, along with the other animals I had adopted. We lived in a hostile neighborhood, endured personal predicaments and put up against animal abusers. I knew that with his frail body and many health complications, a time would come when I would have to bid him farewell. It was far from easy. I still miss him to this day.
