For more than two weeks now we’ve been experiencing temperatures in the triple digits. It isn’t uncommon in the summer, and thankfully we get these spells in small doses. But, with global warming and all, who knows. In order to stay comfortable and survive without going mad we’ve been running our AC regularly. The cats [...]

  While my brother’s been in China, Mom and I’ve been caring for the special needs of one of his cats, Pattern. Along with administering fluids everyday, she now also needs other medications. When I first took Pattern to our vet, one of the emergencies we faced in June, it was discovered that she was [...]

Elaborating on the last post, which certainly warrants it, I’ve decided to finally to post the current social positions of the cats. Due to all of the changes that have occurred in the HOP over the last 15 months, several cats have changed positions in the social hierarchy. The deaths, adoptions, and new living conditions [...]

For the past several years Zoe has tasted freedom from the front bedroom, and despite peeking inside once or twice with a look of longing, she hasn’t looked back. She’s carried her alpha aura from the bedroom to the rest of the HOP, free to roam and wreck her vengeance upon her nemesis, Pooka. Well, [...]

For most of the month of June and part of July I was silent from my blog because I couldn’t put into words the emotions I was feeling going through the emergencies that plagued the HOP during that time. I put my full attention on caring for the three pets that took center stage: Reina, [...]

On the 10th of June, our vet called me with the results of the biopsy performed on the growth removed from Avita’s mouth. Malignant cancer was found. Now, it was time to worry. I not only had the worry of Avita’s health, but also the worry of telling Mom when she got home from work. [...]

In the same week we lost Reina, we also had an emergency with our dog, Avita. It was the Wednesday I was taking Reina in to the vet’s clinic. As I was getting ready, Mom noticed a growth inside Avita’s mouth and asked me to look at it. What at first looked as if her [...]

The month of June, 2009, were four weeks of heart break and stress. One emergency after another kept coming, and at the time, it was too difficult for me to write about all that was happening, hence my absence from this blog. However, the HOP is quiet again after having weathered the emotional storms that [...]
