Here is a photo of Chris on November 20, 2020. We had just bought our house in West Virginia and made the long drive up there with the cats. We were worried that Chris’s arthritis would prevent him from going up the stairs, but he was the first cat to investigate the second floor. You can see he is still wearing his locator tag.
The reason I chose this photo is that we are preparing to make that trip to West Virginia again this morning. I am looking forward to being there, but I am not looking forward to two days of driving with cats. Wish us luck.
On another note, my son, also named Chris, is celebrating his birthday today. I feel bad that I can’t celebrate with him.
Bad Cat Chris 
I bet all of you will be glad to GET there…….have a good trip !!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
Exactly. Thanks.
I love that your son wears the same name like the famous feline friend… a happy birthday to him and a good trip for you
Thanks. Chris had his name when we adopted him. We tried to change it but nothing stuck so we kept it.
I hope the trip goes well! Two days of driving AVEC CHATS. Will it be the papa of all screamathons?
I don’t know what AVEC means. After 45 minutes, we’ve only heard a couple of meows.
Avec means with! A couple of meows after 45 minutes is prwttt good going. If it were Catorze in the car with you, you’d be bleeding from the eardrums.
Oh, when you capitalized it I thought it was an acronym. Frankie was very vocal when we evacuated from the hurricane but this time it’s mostly quiet. Maybe because they were separated into different cars last time and they are together this time. I don’t know.
Happy birthday to your son! Safe travels with the kitties! You are going to miss the ‘more than active’ hurricane season? Lucky you.
Thanks. I think the last hurricane season was enough for us.
Happy and safe travels … and happy birthday to the two-footed Chris!
Thanks so much.
Safe travels! Happy Birthday to your son from all of us!
Thank you.
I wish your son many happy returns of the day.
You will be in my prayers for safe and speedy travel.
Thanks so much.
Happy Birthday to your son! I hope the trip goes well.
Thank you.
His coloring accented the wood. Hope you had a safe trip
We made it but not without issues. I’ll write about it tomorrow if I have time.
