Thoughts and concerns are extended this weekend for all cats (and dogs) and their families in the US because of the massive snow storm. While our little cat and dog family is on the outer bottom edge of the bad weather, those just slightly north of us are going to have a rough few days. Good luck!

After almost a year, we have finally had our house repaired after Hurricane Helene. Our special needs cats now have their room back. They have three smaller windows now instead of the original one large window. More window seats are installed, as are some more solar lighting installed outside in the yard so they can enjoy their view at night.

The room is somewhat empty at the time of the photo. Toys, beds, and trees are now in there.

Yet another Pong update for December... The Yule holiday found him in slight distress for observed potty issues. On December 26, we hurried him over to the veterinary center just as they opened.

We are "frequent fliers" at the vet, so we tend to get quickly worked in as needed. So, Pong was dropped off for his situational evaluation. We knew he was in good hands.

Shortly after arriving back home, we received the call that Pong needed sedation and an emergency enema. Obviously, we agreed. Yeah, an emergency cat enema. The poor boy was severely impacted and would not have passed that stool on his own (TMI, I know, sorry).

Anyway, he survived and is back home with a prescription laxative (I cannot make this stuff up).

Anyway, Pong has had a most traumatic year. Hopefully, 2025 will be better for him.

Catching up with Pong, the little fella somehow sustained a hip injury/congenital defect we encountered just prior to Hurricane Helene. In preparation for his scheduled surgery, we had picked up some pain meds the day before the hurricane hit. Well, the hurricane left the clinic without power for almost a week. Fortunately, we had enough pain meds to cover until power was restored.

Pong had his hip surgery, which saved his leg, but he now will always walk with a limp. Caring for him at home when we had no electricity was a challenge, but we made sure he was comfortable.

Continuing...

It was a rough night until daylight. Winds maybe stopped around 4;00 or 5;00 in the morning. At daylight, I made my way outside to check on all of our outside cats. Their cat houses were turned over, and their boxes were out in the yard. All cats, inside and outside, were in distress.

I began counting tails and found everyone was accounted for. Everyone was traumatized, especially when the generator was pulled out and turned on.

20 days is basically three weeks with no power/internet. We made it through with no major disasters. All cats were safe,
