Okay Chris, how about we go back inside?

Okay Chris, how about we go back inside?

Last week I did Jelly Belly Chris so this week I want to show you Frankie’s belly. He shows off his belly quite often and here are a few recent examples.



Of course, Frankie doesn’t really have a jelly belly like Chris but I think he is equally cute. What do you think?
Today I am combining Photo Friday with Jelly Belly Friday. These are all photos of Chris taken at various times this year. Chris is a cat that rarely shows his belly inside the house (unlike Frankie) but he almost always rolls on his back as soon as he goes outside.

Chris’s routine is to roll around first, eat grass second, and then explore the area around the house. Frankie’s first priority is to explore and he is not content to staying near home.




Chris may be overweight but he is certainly not shy about showing his belly to the world. Who else has a cat not afraid to show their belly?
Chris has never seemed to master the fine art of purring. Since we adopted him there was always something off about his purr. Occasionally, I will hear something from Chris that resembles a purr but mostly it sounds more like heavy breathing.
I don’t know. Maybe his purrer is broken. What do you think?
Since Floki is a Siamese cat, he has the trademark cross-eyed look. Here it seems that his left eye is looking at the camera while his right eye is checking something else out. I believe the condition is caused by a slight misalignment of the retinas so he really is focusing on just one thing.

I think it adds to his cuteness. What do you think?
I already did “This Day in Christory” and “This Day in Pucktory” so I feel obligated to do one for Frankie, even though the titles are getting progressively worse. I guess next it will be “This day in Floktory” although, after saying it in my head, I think I will call it something else.
Here is Frankie on March 22, 2014. We adopted him in February of that year and I forgot to do a Gotcha Day post for him so this will have to be the next best thing.

Chris wants to wish all our Northern Hemisphere readers a very happy first day of spring in the usual Chris way. He also wants to wish our readers to the south a very happy first day of fall.

I’m gonna let the cat out of the bag and tell you Whole Foods now has fresh feline.

Ours is very fresh.
I know that men are stereotyped as people who don’t read directions and I certainly don’t want to promote that idea but when we got our Jackson Galaxy cat toys I did not read the directions. In fact, I opened the first one without even reading the name on the package. If I had I would have saw it was a “Ground Prey Wand.” “Ground” being the key word. If I read the label I would have known what to do right away. But alas, I didn’t read it, so I started swinging it around in the air like a crazy person with only mixed results.
I didn’t post the first video I took because I eventually read the package and realized I was supposed to drag it along the ground. Part of the video was a bit funny so I thought I would share it here.
What do you think of Floki?
Chris is almost ten years old and has slowed a bit since his prime but occasionally the same young Chris comes out to play.
