We lost Chris exactly a year ago on September 7, 2024. Our home has not been the same without him. He was like a feline patriarch. He was the reason our cats slept together.
We don’t see this anymore. Occasionally, Frankie and Floki might be on the bed together, but rarely close.
When I think of Chris, I think of two different eras. There was the skinny era, where Chris caused trouble wherever he went, and he went everywhere. He was able to get on top of things that seemed impossible for any normal cat. He was also able to open almost any door. He even shocked me one day when he came through our locked bedroom door.
Then there was fat Chris. That was when he slowed down and didn’t do the crazy things he used to do. He napped more during those times, which resulted in more photo opportunities like the one above. He was also jealous of Frankie, which I found humorous. I was never sure if he was jealous that Frankie was paying attention to me or that I was paying attention to Frankie.
Chris was the most affectionate cat ever. Unfortunately, that affection involved kneading, which had to be on bare skin. Even though it was painful at times, I miss it.
I even miss the biting.
Chris was one of a kind and will always be missed.
Bad Cat Chris 
Yes……beautiful Chris was quite a character…..there are cats who “stand out” and Chris was definitely one. All of us who knew him miss him – but his Dad had a special “thing” with him and that makes it harder even with passing time.
Hugs, Pam
I don’t want to diminish our other cats. All were special, but Chris was quite unique.
Anniversaries like this are so poignant. Purrs to you as you remember Chris.
Thanks so much.
these days are never easy, no matter how much time has passed…sending hugs to you, rose, frankie and floki ~~~~
Chris–he loved his people. What a sweetheart he was.
He was a lover boy.
Chris was such a love bug.
That’s what we called him sometimes.
He was a very sweet kitty. He’ll have a place in your heart forever
He sure will.
Yes, one of a kind and he will always be missed and will always be loved.
Thanks. ❤️
When a huge, unique personality is gone, it leaves a gaping hole. I hope good memories are filling it with joy.
Thanks so much.
Those love bites, OUCH! And wow, was he ever persistent! Whata character he was!
Hugs to you and your family as you think on all the precious memories you made with Chris.
