5/8/2012 - I cannot emphasize enough how much I miss my comrades.  It has been almost 2 months since Lik left me.  I was walking around the house this morning and once again, it was absolutely dead quiet as Ball and Fatty were at work.  7 years ago today (5/8/2004), Ball was sleeping with us in the living room and there were 9 of us at the time.  The 4 of us in this photo were definitely happy campers.

If I remember correctly, it was a pretty cool spring day that day.  So Gi (who was a short hair cat) slept on Mui (another short hair cat) near the heat in the kitchen while Lung was standing next to them.  Though Gi used to do the exact same thing when Chung was around and in the same spot too.  So Gi might have missed Chung that day, so she asked a similar short hair cat in similar color, Mui, to pose like Chung.

I was a lot younger at the time, so I did not need any heat and simply stood on the stool.

3 years ago today (5/8/2009), bleeding from Bart's tumor was getting out of control.  It scared all 5 of us at the time, including Bart herself, because we could see, and smell the blood.  I remember Bart was telling us it hurts a little when she walked around the house.  Fatty, MaGi and Lik were trying to comfort Bart by sitting with her in the evening that day.

Ball and Fatty have been feeding me an allergy medication called Chlortrimeton since 5/2 evening.  Since then, my stuffy nose has improved.  However, for whatever reason, my nose became very itchy at around 6pm.  My sneezing was non-stop, and by 8pm, I was sneezing out blood with discharge from my left nose.  Though I could hear Ball and Fatty sneezing as well, I wonder if there's something in the air today?  Fatty said tree pollen level is very high today (or at its peak in early May, like now), could that be it?

After taking the medication at around 8pm, I stopped sneezing.  Though I felt lonely, so I just stood at my regular spot (on the scratch pad) and stared around in the dark.
