Four O’clock Frankie | Bad Cat Chris
The year I started this blog, I wrote about Four O'clock Chris. Now it's Frankie's Turn. Every morning at around 4:00, give or take fifteen minutes, Frankie starts bothering me. It's subtle at first, maybe he'll walk across me or bite my cheek. sometimes he will bite me just over the eyes, which hurts. That's…
Photo Friday: The Perfect Gift | Bad Cat Chris
My wife, Rose, and I will be going away this weekend to celebrate our 26th anniversary, which is actually on this coming Wednesday. She ordered a gift for me and gave it to me early. It is a picture of Chris, hand drawn by an artist we met while up in West Virginia. It is…
Throwback Thursday: Best Friends | Bad Cat Chris
For some reason, the WordPress "reblog" button brings me to a blank page on both Firefox and Chrome, so I decided to recreate this post from October 28, 2016. In spite of the fact that Chris dominates Puck as the self-appointed alpha male, he really cares for him. You saw it in the last post…
Photo Friday: Two for One | Bad Cat Chris
Today, I have two memories to share with you. The first is Puck and Frankie with Chris in the background. This was taken on October 4, 2014. You can't take out a suitcase without attracting the attention of cats. The second photo is of my grandmother, Sadie, my mom's mom. She would have been 109…
Our Newest Cat Toy | Bad Cat Chris
Here is an interesting cat toy I found on Amazon for only $10. https://youtu.be/daF8QYOPLJ0?si=czATtttuq1uffj6P The toy moves randomly, which simulates real prey. I found that it really attracted our cats' interest, but I was hoping it would be a good tool for getting our cats moving. They both can use some exercise, especially Floki, who…
Frankie Vs. Squirrels – Round Two | Bad Cat Chris
The following morning, after Frankie encounter the two daring squirrels on a palm tree, we returned to the same tree and found the same two squirrels. This time, one of the squirrels was a little too confident and it almost cost him dearly. https://youtu.be/n86_soo06Sg
Photo Friday: Classic Chris and Tigger | Bad Cat Chris
Here is a photo of Chris and Tigger taken thirteen years ago tomorrow, on September 27, 2012. Abby's bed is empty. I don't remember exactly when she died, but I think it was about two weeks before this picture was taken. In unrelated news, I sent someone the Kindle version of my book, The Last…
Frankie Gets Taunted by Two Squirrels | Bad Cat Chris
Frankie encountered a couple of squirrels on a palm tree this morning, who seemed to take great pleasure in taunting Frankie. they came down very low and I was certain Frankie would try to catch one of them, but he didn't. He even showed a submissive posture at one point. I was fascinated by watching…
Chris’s Marker | Bad Cat Chris
Chris's Marker arrived this morning. I wanted something to mark the spot where I buried the container that held his remains. It came with plastic holders to hold it up at an angle but I thought I would prefer it to lay on the ground. I was wrong. It didn't look right so I propped…
Chris’s Final Resting Place | Bad Cat Chris
After waiting a year, I finally spread Chris's remains in front of our house on the anniversary of his death. It felt good to finally put him to rest. A year ago, I did not want to spread his remains at our current home because I suspected we would not live there much longer. I…
One Year Without Chris | Bad Cat Chris
We lost Chris exactly a year ago on September 7, 2024. Our home has not been the same without him. He was like a feline patriarch. He was the reason our cats slept together. We don't see this anymore. Occasionally, Frankie and Floki might be on the bed together, but rarely close. When I think…
Photo Friday: Time to Relax | Bad Cat Chris
This is the first photo I took of the cats after returning to Florida. I think they are happy to be back. At least they don't have to worry about big dogs who want to kill them. I didn't tell the story of another dog attack Frankie and I encountered while in West Virginia. It…
Frankie’s West Virginia Cat Encounters | Bad Cat Chris
While we will never forget our house in Ravenswood, West Virginia, our plan now is to enjoy our current home without the burden of caring for two houses. What is not a burden are the memories that we created. Here are a few encounters with cats that Frankie and I shared while we were up…
Heading Home | Bad Cat Chris
I just wanted to post a quick note saying we are on our way back to Florida. We packed more into our car than I thought possible and were on the road a few minutes before seven. We will stay in Orangeburg, South Carolina, which is around the halfway point. We will probably get there…
Our Trip Home – Part Two | Bad Cat Chris
The first half of our trip was relatively uneventful although after a few hours Floki decided he would cry continuously while clawing at the screen on their carrier. Fortunately, he gave up after a while. I bought them a huge carrier for the trip up that is almost as wide as the car. It also…
Two More Days | Bad Cat Chris
Our house is under contract, and if all goes well, it will close on Friday. We won't be here then. As the sellers, we will close on Wednesday afternoon, and the buyers will close two days later. Our plan is to get out of Dodge on Thursday morning. Of course, there is a lot to…
An Unwanted Guest | Bad Cat Chris
My stepson, Nick, and his fiancée, Chandra, arrived late yesterday for a week-long visit. They brought along their French bulldog, Cindy. As I was helping bring their stuff in from the car, I witnessed a meeting between Frankie and Cindy. Cindy was on our catio, and Frankie was in the laundry room. The door was…
Photo Friday: Classic Princess | Bad Cat Chris
Today's post should be called Photos Friday because I found several photos of Princess dated August 2001. Since we are selling our West Virginia home, we have no room in the car to bring back the two large storage containers of old photographs, nor do we have room to store them in our little one-bedroom…
We Are Selling Our West Virginia Home | Bad Cat Chris
We decided this would be our last summer in our West Virginia home. While we love the house, we have never spent more than two months here until now. We've come to realize that it is great to escape the hustle and bustle of living in a densely populated area in Florida, but only for…
Throwback Thursday: Couch Pooper Puck Strikes Again | Bad Cat Chris
This post is from September 2016. Puck was a well-behaved cat except for his issues of pooping and peeing outside the box. The peeing was caused by a bladder issue, which led to his untimely death despite being treated for the condition. https://badcatchris.com/2016/09/26/couch-pooper-puck-strikes-again/?page_id=3884
Photo Friday: No! You can’t Take It! | Bad Cat Chris
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.
Photo Friday: Favorite Spots | Bad Cat Chris
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…
How Domestic Cats Fight | Bad Cat Chris
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…
