As many of you already know, I have been feeding Cat-rina her medicine in a small amount of tuna. It is the only easy way to get her to take it.

Recently, Tabby-tha has noticed that Cat-rina has been getting a daily tuna treat, and Tabby-tha has been attempting to see that she gets her share. When Tabby-tha sees that I am preparing the medicine, she comes running, and the makes the most pitiful mewls (probably proclaiming that she hasn't been fed in months) begging for her share.

Last night things got out of hand. As I began to prepare Cat-rina's medicine, I suddenly found that I had all five cats circling around my feet, each one crying about how deprived they were. This would be laughable except I must see that only Cat-rina eats the medicine. Did you ever try to keep five cats in the correct dishes as you are attempting to set five saucers on the floor? Give me a break.
