It is hard to believe that our little baby, Floki, is already nine years old. It seems like yesterday that we brought the little screamer home.
Chris accepted Floki better than he did Frankie.
He seemed to grow up in no time. We mistakenly assumed Siamese cats were bigger than average but that is not true. In fact, Floki is the smallest cat we have had since Princess.
Below are photos of Floki from each year starting in 2016 and ending this year.
I hope you enjoyed this trip down Memory Lane.
This post is from August 2016. Those were the good ol’ days.
A couple of months ago, I saw a video for a product called Ripple Rug. In the video, the cats were having a wonderful time going in and out of all the holes and crevices. After my wife saw the video, she agreed that we should order one from Chewy. So, we paid the forty-six dollars and waited with anticipation.
When it arrived a few days later I couldn’t wait to watch our cats enjoying such a unique product.
Floki was interested right away… in the box.
He did eventually investigate it for a few seconds but never tried to enter one of the little holes. Frankie’s level of interest could only be compared to his interest in toothpaste.
I let it sit for a few days, with neither of our cats showing any interest. Now, it is folded and waiting for us to bring it to West Virginia, where I will try again before throwing it out.
That is not to say this is a bad product. I’m sure many cats would have a ball with it. Just not our cats.
Most cats love lying in the sunbeam, but Floki has to be different.
Here is Floki in a video when he was around four months old in August 2016. Puck and Chris make cameo appearances in the film.
I folded laundry the other day but before I could put the towels away, I saw this.
I decided to let Frankie stay where he was for a while. When I came back later to put the towels away, I saw this.
Holly was our first experience with a bad cat. I think that is what attracted us to Chris. I learned she passed away recently.
Here is a photo of Alex and Tigger I found from March 27, 2009.
Until now, we always had cats that would nap close together.
Here is my second post about making homemade raw cat food from August 2016. I have learned over time that I get the best results with chicken, so I have stuck with that. Recently, the store was short on chicken, so I had to add forty percent turkey. I found I was throwing away half the food because they would eat a little and then walk away.
I get emails from Google called “Your memories from this day.” The email features a collage of photos taken on this day. One photo caught my eye.
This photo of Chris and me was taken by my wife on March 26, 2016. The quality is poor, but the memory is rich.
