Yes, it’s Feline Friday, featuring this fine Front Line of our Kahala Felines. Left to right, that’s Duke, Romeo, and Ms. Kili.*

They are the three cats that eat on the floor in the kitchen. They are the first to gather and beg, and the first served at almost every meal.

Toby usually waits on our dining table, where he gets at least his first serving. That’s an attempt to offer a little protection, since Romeo usually tries to go over and take over Toby’s food dish. At least we try to give Toby a head start before Romeo’s bullying starts.

And Ms. Annie typically waits on the kitchen counter for her food, although she’s been known to hold out for a dish in our guest bedroom.

This week has been mostly quiet on the cat front. Duke started his first refill of Azithromycin, a strong antibiotic that he was prescribed in an attempt to finally treat his long-standing upper respiratory infection. He now gets a dose every three days, and this will go on for at least six weeks. It comes as a powder, and then gets mixed with water. Luckily, he doesn’t mind the flavor, so he doesn’t really resist (just a little token back-puddling).

[*Note: Over the weekend, I received an email: “Hi Ian!! Are you testing us to see if we noticed that you have Duke’s and Romeo’s names/positions reversed in the photo? Heh!!”

Ah, that’s correct. Trying to retrace my brain synapses, I remember that I thinking how the photo made Duke look much larger than Romeo, right as I wrote out that left-to-right description.

Can I plead that it’s the result of decaf-only coffee in the morning as I was preparing the post?]
