Here is Chris from twelve years ago tomorrow. It was March 5, 2010 and we were still living in Myrtle Beach where we adopted Chris. He was around ten months old in this photo.
Chris used to like playing with stuffed animals, which is what he was doing here. I do not know why we had Teddy bear sheets. I guess that would be a question for my wife.
Bad Cat Chris 
ooh it is your gotcha day tomorrow? we love you and you are our hero… so glad that your people picked you… the bestest chris!!!
Chris’s Gotcha Day is May 14. 2009. The photo was taken March 5, 2010. Sorry if I confused you.
I’m anyway out of time this week…. every day is good to celebrate the famous chris ;O)))
Hahaha. So true.
His Gotcha Day is November 14, not May. May 14 is what we consider his birthday.
Happy Early Gotcha Day to Chris………..!!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
I guess I wrote that badly. His Gotcha Day is November 14. The photo was taken in March.
My word! Chris was really cute as a teen! Of course, ginger tabbies can’t help it.
Have you ever seen an ugly ten month old ginger? 🙂
I don’t think so. They are inherently cute/pretty/handsome/adorable at all stages of life!
Yes, they are.
he is sooo handsome! Handsome as a baby and still handsome! LOL about the sheets
I wondered why she bought kids’ sheets for an adult bed but I think I remember her saying they were not for kids. Maybe that’s true but they sure look like kids’ sheets.
dood…..ewe waz az handsum in yur yooth… az ewe iz now !! 😉
Thanks. 🙂
What a cutie Chris was…and handsome now.
Thanks. He was, and is, cute but that applies to almost every cat.
Oh how adorable…
I’ve spent much time in Myrtle Beach…from baby years, stretched all the way out to 2016? 2017? My paternal grandparents had close friends in Myrtle that owned a very small hotel/cottage. It was close to the older amusement park on the southern end, not the famous Pavilion. After high school grad in 1984, a crew of us were down there. I was at Dick’s (in Murrell’s Inlet?) for NYE 2011/2012.
Growing up, going down there, there wasn’t much to see in the middle 60s to early 70s.
It is HUGE now.
What is Gotcha Day?
It’s a small world. My wife ran an apartment complex there called The Abbey at Ridgewood Plantation in Carolina Forest. I think one of our favorite places to go was Murrell’s Inlet. We liked to have lunch at Creek Ratz where we often would see a black cat that was well fed by the patrons. I would order a chicken salad and give the cat the chicken. Chris’s Gotcha day is November 14, 2009. He was about six months old then so we just assume his birthday was May 14, 2009.
Ahhh…feed the kitty. I never made it to Creek Ratz.
I get it, now! “Gotcha!” I’m a little slow…
🙂
Adorable ! No wonder you adopted him !
That was part of the reason but mostly it was because he was so friendly. I was volunteering with his shelter and while I was cleaning cages he jumped on my back, climbed onto my sholders and started nibbling on my ears and my nose.
Those are not just teddy bears sheets. They’re Ralph Lauren teddy bear sheets.
Oh, yes. Now I remember what she called them. Thank you.
Such a cutie!
Thanks.
And you haven’t had a dull moment since. Happy Gotcha Day Chris!
Thanks. I guess I wrote something wrong but his Gotcha Day is in November. Today is just the day the photo was taken 12 years later.
What a cute photo of Chris as a young guy.
Thanks. He was cute , , , and funny.
Thanks, Summer.
