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.

Here is a video of Floki from September 2016. Even today, my wife will wad up a piece of paper and throw it for him to chase.

Here is a post from September 2, 2016, that I thought was too cute not to share. It is young Floki napping with Puck.

This post was from August of 2016. Have you ever noticed that problems with pets always seem to happen when the vet is closed?

Here is a post from August 2016. After almost nine years together, Frankie and Floki still play regularly. Floki chases Frankie in one direction, then they switch, and Frankie chases Floki the other way.
