It is hard to believe that Chris has been with us now for ten years. He is not as much of a “bad” cat now as he was in his youth but he is still a huge PITA sometimes. Now, for example, he is on my lap as I write this and is clawing at my face and chest trying to get me to pay more attention to him.
I decided to keep this post simple today since I have already made a big deal about many of his other gotcha days. This time I thought I would just find an early photo of Chris that I have not already posted on this blog. The photo below was of Chris and Tigger taken on December 3, 2009, less than three weeks after we adopted him.

If you haven’t read it yet, the following two posts talk about Chris’s adoption.
Happy Tenth GOTCHA Chris……you were one very lucky guy you know to land in that family ! You must admit it’s been a great ten years right? Right!!
Hugs, Teddy
The struggles we went through were above and beyond what most people could tolerate but I wouldn’t trade them for the world.
That’s love for ya!
It sure is. 🙂
Happy Gotcha Day dear Chris!!! you are our hero in aaaaany way!!!
Hahaha, Perhaps he needs a cape with a big “S” for “suberbad” or “superannoying.” 🙂
Happy Gotcha Day and many more to Chris and his long-suffering “pawrents”!
Thanks so much.

Happy Tenth Gotcha Day to Chris, the humans, and the other cats! Many happy returns! My Franklin is a tad bitey too so I understand that aspect of the kitty experience!
Thanks. If Chris wasn’t annoying he wouldn’t be Chris and that would be bad.
Big Cat Congratulations on your tenth Gotcha Day Chris. We are so glad you have a forever home and we bet your Dad would not trade you no matter you PIA status! Keep up the good work buddy
Thanks. Chris is well worth the trouble.
