  • A look at animal hoarding

    This is a very good article about animal hoarding: http://veterinarynews.dvm360.com/too-many-pets-too-little-care-look-animal-hoarding?pageID=1 Here are some excerpts. The classification of a hoarder The definition of animal hoarding may surprise you. That’s because the crux of what classifies a person as a hoarder isn’t a particular number of animals—it’s whether or not those animals are provided with sufficient care, says educator…

  • Zurik comes out, on his own terms

    So, Zurik remained snug in his hiding place. I decided not to disturb him…yet. Until he came out from the hiding place and onto the long box on his own. Once in this position, I know I can reach him to give him his afternoon dose of RetroMAD1. I have done this before though it’s…

  • Zurik goes MIA….

    It was about an hour ago when everyone else had their lunch that I noticed Zurik was missing. Zurik normally does not respond to being called, so calling him is a wasted effort…unless he happens to be hungry, which is not so these days because he eats small meals so often. So, after feeding everyone,…

  • Zurik tips the scales at 4.8kg!

    First, let me apologise for yesterday’s typo in the subject of the post about Zurik’s breathing pattern. I used “beats” and that led to the confusion that I was talking about his heartbeat. The word should have been “breaths” and not “beats”. Sorry! I am monitoring Zurik’s breathing pattern to check if there is any…

  • Zurik’s 8 breaths per 15 seconds

    There are a few “vital signs” that I should monitor for Zurik. Besides his appetite and weight, I must also monitor his breathing pattern as this would be an rough indicator of accumulation of fluids in the lung cavity, if any. Previously, Zurik’s number of breaths in 15 seconds was 15 or even 16. But…

  • Of the Mafia and the Egyptians

    The Egyptians knew better. We have one too…. And so does the world! It’s just a matter of time….

  • After the big fight

    Cow and Indy got into a fight today. The good thing about cats (and most animals) is that they live in the moment, so shortly after the fight… …the alpha-amigos are together again!

  • Guess who?

    Who is this? Black and white… Cow? Indy? Nope! It is Cleo!! Cow and Indy just had a fight….(next story).

  • A Journey of a Thousand Steps

    I’ll take a break from the usual and talk about another part of my life. I grew up with the self-fulfilling prophecy that I am totally hopeless in sports.  I am uncoordinated, directionally dyslexic and have various health issues which compound my utter hopelessness in sports.  In school, I would run AWAY from the ball…
