My wife and I usually sit in our bedroom for about an hour before we go to bed. Within the first ten minutes, all three cats usually filter into the room and join us. I have to get under the cover to protect myself from betting scratched by Chris.
Here is Chris and Tigger twelve years ago today.
When you came into our condo, the stairs were to the right and a long, kitchen counter was to the left with a walkway between them. Chris could never be bothered with walking around and would jump from the stairs to the kitchen counter or from the kitchen counter to the stairs.
The last time I took Frankie for a walk he not only lied down in the grass he completely stretched out.. He sure can be funny sometimes.
Does anybody else have a cat that stretches like that while they’re laying down?
I love that our cats don’t mind being close to each other but having all three napping together as close as they were the other day is not common.
My guess is, Frankie was there first, then Chris came and joined him then Floki came and joined Chris.
Chris is not the only lizard catcher in the family. Frankie, while not as good as Chris, did manage to snag a lizard on Saturday.
He carried the lizard around for a minute and then set him down so he could have fun catching him again. Unfortunately for Frankie, the lizard was faster the second time.
By the way, that is not blood on Frankie’s paw. It’s some kind of plant matter that he picked up with the lizard, like the leaf hanging from his mouth.
Here is Chris the Lizard Hunter nine years ago yesterday.
Chris was a master lizard catcher in his prime.
I usually take Frankie for a walk on the weekends and he knows when it is the weekend because I am home longer that usual. Two weeks ago, my work went out of business so, until I find another job, I am home everyday. This means everyday is the weekend as far as Frankie is concerned and he won’t let me be lazy. Here he is demanding to be taken out for a walk.
This photo was taken over a month ago, just before the weather warmed up enough to prompt my wife to remove the heater from our heated pet mat.
Before then, this mat was a popular meeting spot.
Here are Frankie, Chris, and Floki sleeping connected on our bed four years ago today.
I get notifications from Google and Microsoft highlighting photos from this day. Today I saw this one that I didn’t remember from 2015.
I then noticed a video from the same time. I checked YouTube to see if I had posted it there. I did.
I also noticed another video from earlier that month that was still marked as a draft. It was a video of Frankie’s first time on a leash and harness. I don’t know why that video was older than the one above. Perhaps I had too much trouble with that harness so I decided to continue to let Frankie out without a leash. I did put it on upside down that time and didn’t notice until we were outside.
After these videos, Frankie proved too much of a wild spirit and would take off far beyond the backyard. Because we lived close to a main road, I had to start using a harness every time he went outside.
