The “Unbreak My Heart” star’s update has earned over 3,500 likes on the microblogging platform so far, with some Twitter users commenting on how amazed they are about the rescued cat’s “glow up.”
“Oh, wow! Naia’s so beautiful. The glow up,” a Filipino commented with a purple heart emoji.
“Grabe, bilis ng panahon, ate! Sobrang healthy-looking na ni Naia ngayon compared nung unang beses mo/namin siyang nakita. Nakakatuwa,” another online user wrote.
“Good morning po, Ms. JODI and to the very handsome [big boy] NAIA. Super big na [siya] at so healthy looking,” commented another Pinoy.

Naia used to be the stray kitten that Jodi encountered at Terminal 1 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport last January.
According to her, the cat appeared to be “asking for humans to feed and help” him, adding that the passengers’ carts were bumping him.
Her adoption story captured social media users’ attention at that time.
