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?
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?
While looking for a photo for yesterday’s post, I came across a video of Chris from this day in 2010. It is not one of his best videos but it is nostalgic and does give a little glimpse into what Chris was like back then. There is also a cameo by our cat Alex.
I believe this is also the first HD video I have of Chris. 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.
The other day my wife, Rose, decided to give her iPad to her sister since she never uses it anymore. She asked me to remove all of her information but when I started to do that I noticed she had over a hundred photos, many of them were pictures of our cats from 2016.
I wanted to transfer the photos to my desktop computer but I was reminded over and over why I hate Apple. They have a reputation for being easy but I have always found the opposite to be true. I couldn’t access the files by plugging the iPad directly to my computer so I uploaded them to iCloud but when I tried to access them on my web browser I was informed that only an Apple device could view them.
I could go on and on but I eventually got the photos and I want to share some of them with you.
This first one is Frankie doing what Frankie does. It is a bit grainy, probably because of poor lighting.

The next one is Frankie on one of his favorite napping spots; our printer. I have since put a towel over it to make it more comfortable.

This is Floki the day after we adopted him.

Here is Frankie again. This was shortly after we adopted Floki and everyone picked up an eye infection from him. I think it was also the first time Chris went to the vet for a medical issue.
Floki again five weeks after adoption. Notice his brown color is coming in.

My wife works from home a few days a week. In this photo, she is with another person that I don’t know and had to crop her out. It looks like Chris is helping her here.

Here is Frankie and Floki keeping Rose company while she works.

The next photos are of Chris at the vet for an eye infection that he got from Floki. I won’t include those because I already posted them. You can see them here.
Here is another example of how helpful Chris is to Rose. I’m sure she gets a lot more done when Chris is around.

These next two were taken on the same day. The first is my favorite. It is Frankie and Floki enjoying the sunbeam.

Here is Frankie, Chris, and Floki. Naturally, Chris has to be lying on top of someone.

Here is a photo that is grainy but it includes all of our boys.

Finally, here is a photo of Frankie, Floki and Chris on the bed next to what I assume are Christmas presents waiting to be wrapped.

What do you think? Do I need to worry about my job as blog photographer?
