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.
My wife wanted to give away one of the cat trees because nobody uses it anymore, so I put it in the laundry room, which is where we put things destined to leave the house. When Floki saw it in there, he climbed to the top and loudly protested its eventual departure.
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?
It is hard to believe that our little baby, Floki, is already nine years old. It seems like yesterday that we brought the little screamer home.
Chris accepted Floki better than he did Frankie.
He seemed to grow up in no time. We mistakenly assumed Siamese cats were bigger than average but that is not true. In fact, Floki is the smallest cat we have had since Princess.
Below are photos of Floki from each year starting in 2016 and ending this year.
I hope you enjoyed this trip down Memory Lane.
Most cats love lying in the sunbeam, but Floki has to be different.
My wife took out the cats’ heating pad this morning, and Floki is already taking advantage of the warm bed.
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.
Here is another video of Floki from July 2016. This time he is attacking a pillow.
I just put the laundry on the bed to fold yesterday but Floki beat me to it.
Frankie is more sophisticated and prefers his laundry on a hanger.
After Chris died, I worried that we would never again see our cats cuddle together. While they aren’t yet cuddling, they are touching each other. It’s progress.
