It’s Friday, July 3. A holiday in advance of the July 4 holiday. I started the day without a single new cat photo since last Friday’s batch. I chased cats for a while, but today’s pickings are still pretty thin.
I like this photo of Ms. Kili and Mr. Romeo. It reminds me of a scene out of the Blues Brothers, with some of that “we’re on a Mission from God” swagger, although I wish it were technically better. It was a little dark in the kitchen when they turned my way, and the camera couldn’t quite cope. But you get the idea.
We’ve had a new problem when I let the cats out for their short bit of morning freedom. Romeo is coming back just fine, a big change in his habits. But Duke has been disappearing for hours and runs away if I try to round him up. He tends to just hang around right under the house, or in some ferns under our back deck, but he has actively avoided coming in several times this week. As a result, he didn’t get to be among the “out” group this morning. I’m not quite sure how this gets worked out. The working solution is that he doesn’t get to go out unless one of us is going to be home in the event he dances just out of reach. When he gets hungry, or scared, he’s back at the door desperate to get inside.
I’ve also been trying to tell them about the big move ahead. I know it’s more for my benefit than theirs, but talking it through will hopefully help.

Your big move is really a BIG one for cats. I wish you the best.
Speaking of transitions, the daughter of a friend of mine and her husband just flew from Oakland to Kona via Alaska Airlines with their two cats The cats rode in the cabin with them, in carriers set under the seats in front of them. She reports that there were a total of five cats and two dogs on the flight. All of the animals passed their health inspections when they arrived and therefore did not have to go through any period of quarantine. That required careful preparation on the part of the owners.
