My wife put a wicker table on the catio a while ago, and it has become Frankie’s new favorite spot. Floki’s favorite spot is near where you see him in this photo. Apparently, they want to be where the neighbor’s dog can see them and get all riled up.
Frankie’s second favorite spot is near the house, but also on the catio. In fact, he spends nearly the entire day on the catio, only coming in to use the litter box and eat.
We all know that when outside cats fight, it can get brutal, but what about when inside cats fight? I don’t know about all inside cats, but at our house, it’s pretty tame. The exception would be the early fights between Chris and Frankie when Frankie first joined our family, and one other fight a year or two later between those two. It was so bad that we had to separate them between a closed door.
Other than that, fights at our house are more like roughhousing. Sometimes it seems they are fighting in slow motion. For example, here is Frankie and Floki last night.
Do your cats fight? If so, how do they fight?
On our walk on Tuesday Morning, Frankie decided to check on our neighbor’s female cat, who is also named Frankie. He first peeked through the door, but the inner door was closed, and he couldn’t see anything, so he climbed onto her chair and looked through the window.
Here is a photo of Chris from May 17, 2011. I don’t know if someone yelled at him to get off the refrigerator or if he had seen enough and was on to the next thing.
Here’s Frankie on Sunday and Monday… and pretty much every other day.
Frankie helped me make the bed yesterday morning. When I’m done, I always put his blankie on the bed. Since he was in the way, he ended up under his blankie.
The scene repeated this morning, but Frankie moved while I got my phone to take his picture.
Here is Frankie eleven years ago today, on March 7, 2014. This was on top of the china cabinet, which was a popular place for both Chris and Puck, although Puck needed my help to get up there. Since Frankie had only been in our house for about a month at the time, I’m sure he learned how to get up there from Chris.
Can you tell Frankie loves being outside?
Our association comprises six houses arranged in an L shape around a common vacant lot. Between each house and on each end is a six to eight-foot decorative wall. Frankie had jumped onto these walls about three times and attempted to jump a couple more times before I stopped him.
Here he is on the wall at the opposite end from our house. I think he has declared the entire area his.
Has anyone with cats ever packed for a trip and not seen this?
My wife went on a business trip this week and put her suitcase on the table to pack. Knowing Frankie would lay on top of it she covered it with a towel.
