Chris Turns Fifteen

46 Replies

Can you believe Chris is fifteen? Sometimes, like after waking up to find puke and poop all over the house, I think he won’t make it to his sixteenth birthday. Other times, like as I write this, I see he has climbed up to his perch with no problem. That gives me hope.

He can also still be bad, although in more subtle ways, like turning over his food bowls.

I’m not going to dwell on how much time he has left, instead, I will enjoy each day he is with us. I will also remember some of his antics when he was young.

    Chris is a character….always has been….catitude on steroids and that’s why all of us who know him, love him. Happy Birthday Chris – I hope you decide to have many more!

    Hugs, Pam (and Teddy too)

    Bad or Good, you’re a Best Boy and we wish you a Happy Healthy 15th and give your purrmission to topple every food and water bowl you want to … today and every day to come! Cause if that makes you happy, happy you should be! And p.s., slip out of that harness next time you’re out on a walkabout, too, just don’t hide under a car, it makes Dad nervous. You are one helluva special boy, keep on keepin’ on Chris!

    Happy Birthday, King Chris! I love how he looks in the photo with the food bowl overturned: “Do you have a problem, sir?” Absolutely not. You are the best, Chris!

    I feel the same about my nearly 13-year-old Andy. I look at him sleeping, his Persian coat hiding movement, and I confess to poking him…just in case!

    Happy Birthday, Chris!

        Same her. Andy does sleep close to me, but on the floor by my bedroom door so I don’t get past him without him knowing it. That way, we can start his favorite morning rituals that involve me.

    Happy Birthday, Chris! If you’re still getting into mischief, it must mean you are still having good days 🙂 Enjoy each one. We are wishing you many more birthdays to come! ❤

    Happy Belated Birthday Chris. Scylla is 16 and she still plays like a kitten sometimes although she has arthritis in her hips and gets hissy if you touch them.

    Happy birthday to our Chris, he has certainly brought us so much joy and laughter. I’m not sure there is another cat quite as funny or bad as him.
