I took the pussycat down to a vet today to get her scanned for a possible microchip, and she has one. The number on the chip is not registered in the principal database used in Hawai’i, and after a few phone calls the vet’s clerk learned that it was issued by something called HPA. She dialed the number she was given for that organization and found it now belongs to a private residence, and the owner is being driven mad by all the calls she’s getting looking for a pet microchip registry.

It looks like this beautiful cat has succeeded in adopting us.
