Why is this cat on the Kitchen Table?

My memory is of when Sidney was very sick five years ago.

The females were picking on him, he is a wimp cat and was an easy target.
He was thin, drinking all the time (just water!), and having bladder troubles.
The Vet gave him some medicine for the immediate problem and put
Sidney on Insulin. He started with two shots a day, last year dropped to one.

He was given permission to jump on the table for his shot and treat.
Now he needs a chair to step up, he is 15+ years old. He will be up there
at 7 AM for his first treat. Unfortunately he is on the table every few
hours meowing for another treat. Who could refuse to spoil a diabetic cat?
