Here is a photo of Alex and Sneakers taken almost nineteen years ago on July 24, 2005.
Yes, Sneakers was a big boy. He was my wife’s son’s cat when we met. I was told he was found behind a bar named “Sneakers.”
Chris’s new favorite place to hang out is now the favorite place for all our cats to hang out.
Chris has been spending a lot of time on his cat perch lately. As a result, Floki and Frankie have been hanging out with him.
These photos were taken on this day in 2010 when we lived in South Carolina. From the top it is Abbey, Alex, and Tigger.
Notice the pool noodles under the railing. I put those there because Chris squeezed under the railing like a cockroach and Jumped to the ground from the third floor. It’s hard to see but I attached a screen across the railing using double sided tape. Above the railing I hung more screening that I could roll up and keep out of view when the cats were not outside.
Chris was outside that day too, but I didn’t capture him in the above photo. I do, however, have several photos of him fighting with Tigger. This was the only one not too blurry to show.
Here is a picture of Chris and Frankie the other night as I was lying in bed reading just before bedtime.
Chris has changed his routine and spends a lot of time now on the bed in the spare bedroom. It is always nice to see when Floki goes in there to keep him company.
Here is Chris and Frankie napping together the other day.
I don’t think I need to say anything more about this.
Chris’s bed needed to be washed. The last time I washed it I noticed it was ripped at the seam.
This time we decided it was time for a new bed. The photo above was from when it was new about a year and a half ago. You can see he barely fits in it. This time we decided to get him a bigger bed. The one we got is actually for dogs, but don’t tell him.
As soon as we put it down, both Chris and Floki were interested in it, but Chris muscled his way onto it first.
He then settled in for a long nap.
This new bed has enough room for Floki to join him. I’m hoping to see that sometime soon.
Here is another throwback photo. This one is of Chris, Tigger, and Abbey taken on this day in 2011.
I didn’t have many new photos this week so I thought I would find an old one (or three) taken on this day. I found a folder from April 26, 2011. It was labeled “Camera Test.” I don’t know what camera I was testing but I think it was a film camera. It looks like I took pictures of whatever, and whoever, I could find.
Here is Chris in our spare bedroom looking out the window. I think that was his favorite place in the condo. The photo is not great, probably due to poor lighting and no flash, but it is a good memory of Chris.
The next is Tigger. He was probably on the same bed as Chris but because I wasn’t pointing the camera at a bright window, the picture is much better.
Here is Abby looking out the window in the master bedroom. It’s another bad photo but a good memory.
