This family lives in the Heights neighborhood in Houston and when we first met during the summer of 2018, they had two cats: Obelix and Asterix (see photo below). The handsome brothers are Norwegian Forest Cats that the Babkas welcomed into their family while living in Norway. Although, Asterix (right) had health problems, it never slowed him down. Both cats loved each other as much as they loved to hunt and play.
Mom Laura had to share "the boys" with her two young daughters and longed for a pet of her own. That's when she adopted a fun-loving little mix puppy. She named him Dash after Queen Victoria's King Charles Spaniel.
Sadly, our friend Asterix went missing one day. The family has not been able to find him and they are still heartbroken. Fortunately for Obelix, though, he and Dash became very interactive. The family calls them "frenemies." They like to chase each other around and wrestle!
As fate would have it, a domestic shorthair kitten with tabby markings was found as a stray with his litter mates. His ear was clipped as is often the case with cats that have been trapped, neutered and released. The Babka's brought the tiny feline home with the intent to foster him last March. Can you guess what happened next? Yep, they fell in love. Oscar is the newest member of the family. Obelix and Oscar became good friends. Now, Obelix has two playmates and when the family takes Dash for his walk, the cats walk with them!
The Babka's nominated Houston SPCA as their favorite pet charity.
