I think they were jealous

I was given an ultimatum by the rest of The Kids (those sans Grendel) that I must either demonstrate that not all of the digital attention goes to Grendel or face the dire consequences.  They demonstrated said consequences by leaving irritating reminders of their power in the form of bloody racing stripes on my hands.  I do not wish to face more punishment.

To avoid a great and unwinnable battle, here are some photos of the rest of The Kids.

As I began to complete this post, I was reminded by Loki that, lest I desire my soul to be savagely ripped out during the night, I might consider ensuring him a little extra coverage.

Scarfin’ with The Kids

I free feed The Kids.  That is to say that I keep food and water down at all times, and they can eat and drink at will and at whatever time they choose.  While Kako and Loki rarely eat together, you can find them in any number of combinations as easily as you can find them eating alone.

This is true except when it is time for a treat.  This happens at least once every week, and it may consist of any number of things (boiled chicken, canned cat food with dried fish mixed in, any number of flavors of fish, baby food, and the list goes on).  Regardless of what it is (I only treat them with what I know they all like), if it is something I serve in one large dish rather than separately, treats create a time when all differences are forgotten and everyone happily gluts.

Wild woman!

Newly adopted in early 1998 and already taking over, Kako, the wild woman, is seen here attacking the camera strap while Kazon approaches from below.  I lifted the camera above my head after taking the picture in an attempt to keep her from trying to climb any further; it had the opposite effect, and she promptly climbed right up my chest and neck to my shoulder where she could more easily reach it.  I, likewise, began to bleed.
