I suppose there isn’t much exciting in the life of our cats these days. No roaming through the field looking for rats and mice, no border patrols to keep wandering cats away. And no injuries from fights, no unexplained absences or disappearances. Just 15-18 hours of sleep daily, restless activity around morning and evening meals, and an occasional fling with a dangling cat toy.

The low point of Romeo’s week was a large hairball that he would have deposited on our bed one night, except that his coughing woke me up and I immediately recognized the situation and lifted him away from the comforter. Annie went missing when we were cleaning the house, and I eventually located her hiding under one of our living room chairs.

No vet visits this week, although we need to schedule something so that we have an excuse to deliver the 2017 cat calendar to Ann Sakamoto, our favorite vet.

So here they are, the Kealaolu Four. Enjoy.
