Yes, Duke turns 15 today!

This is the first picture taken of Duke after he and his two siblings were born sometime early on April 30, 2002. They were in the little office I was working out of at that time. I discovered them as soon as I arrived in the morning from Kaaawa, and snapped this photo with their mother, a rescue we had named Cybelle. Then we were off to have the kittens checked out by our vet at VCA in Kaneohe, Leianne Lee Loy.

As regular readers know, Duke has done a lot of growing up. He’s a big boy now, weighing in at something just under 16 pounds.

I found this fantastic photo of him taken a few years ago in Kaaawa, showing off those great blue eyes.

And just for fun, here’s a little video taken when Duke was about 10-12 weeks old. It’s not long, so enjoy!
