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…
I was putting mulch down around our pear tree the other day when a bird showed up and started tweeting to me. I think it was a robin but it wasn't colorful. I thought maybe I was working around its nest but I didn't see one. I put my finger out and almost touched it…
Our stuff finally arrived from the moving company after they held it hostage for 38 days. Rose called them every other day for the last two weeks and got one promise after another. She was convinced we would never see our stuff, and that was a big stress factor for her. For me, there was…
I'm sorry for the late post but I have been forgetting everything today. Here is a picture of Frankie on the catio today. He seems to like lying in that area. He obviously feels very comfortable. It is very hot and humid but Frankie doesn't care. He wants to be on the catio all day.
Yesterday, I heard barking outside that reminded me of the barking I heard outside years ago when a Pit Bull was in our backyard trying to get our neighbor's cat, Casper. You can read that story here. The barking sounded close, and I knew our cats were on the back porch, so I hurried outside…
I took Frankie for a walk several days after the dog attack. Here he is enjoying the flowers at the side of our house. I brought along protection just in case we needed it. The photo was taken nine days ago. The last time we were here in West Virginia, I set a personal record…
This is from September 2016. I had to bring Chris his food because he wasn't feeling well. I don't know what I was thinking then, but I'm sure I was happy he was at least eating something. https://badcatchris.com/2016/09/16/photo-friday-special-delivery/?page_id=3850
I just released my latest book, Truth Be Told. Here is the official book description: Peter Beckett awoke 25 years ago with no memory of his past. Since then, he's been haunted by a gift he never asked for and doesn't want. People can't lie to him. To Peter, it feels like a curse that…
I started helping out last week with painting at the apartment complex my wife oversees. That means Frankie has not been going for a walk everyday. Because of that, Rose insisted I take Frankie for a walk before work on Friday. We live on a corner lot. The main road going into town runs along…
We have not yet furnished our entire 5 bedroom house we have up here in West Virginia. I use one of the bedrooms upstairs as an office but it has always been empty except for a desk and a printer. My wife has an office downstairs that's not considered one of the bedrooms. Rose decided…
I got a notification this morning that today is my thirteenth blogiversary. I wasn't prepared to write anything, but I found a screenshot that I saved from an internet site called The Wayback Machine, which saves websites from the past. Fortunately, I saved this because when I went there now, I encountered an error when…
There is so much work to do at our West Virginia home that I have not had much time for anything else; therefore, here is a photo of our little catio in Myrtle Beach. The photo was taken on June 1, 2010. Chris is hiding his face behind the table, and Tigger is relaxing in…
Here is a post from September 2016. This was more than two months after we adopted Floki, and the eye issue he brought into the house was still going around. https://badcatchris.com/2016/09/07/chriss-turn-for-eye-problems/?page_id=3812
The second half of our trip started well. The cats seemed to be comfortable in the Ikare Pet Carrier I bought for them. With the pullouts on the side, there was plenty of room for two cats and a small litter box. I think three cats would have done well in it. They never used…
I put together our new Ikare Pet Carrier last week. I wanted to put it in the car along with some of the luggage we planned to bring so we could get an idea how much more room we had. It turns out we had exactly enough room to bring what we brought. It's funny…
Here is a photo of Chris on November 20, 2020. We had just bought our house in West Virginia and made the long drive up there with the cats. We were worried that Chris's arthritis would prevent him from going up the stairs, but he was the first cat to investigate the second floor. You…
These photos were taken almost sixteen years ago on May 10, 2009. If my new timeline is correct, Chris was a small kitten 500 miles away at the time. We had a condo on the Gulf in Dunedin, Florida. Some units faced the Gulf but ours faced a canal. On this day, I sat on…
Here is a post from August 2016. After almost nine years together, Frankie and Floki still play regularly. Floki chases Frankie in one direction, then they switch, and Frankie chases Floki the other way. https://badcatchris.com/2016/08/23/the-tolerant-kitty/?page_id=3785
We adopted Floki on the Fourth of July 2016. This post was from August 22 of that year. I didn't remember how long our cats had dealt with illnesses after Floki's adoption. https://badcatchris.com/2016/08/22/the-cycle-of-sickness/?page_id=3781
Rose ordered See's candy for Easter and put some in a gift bag for our next-door neighbor. She then asked me to bring the candy to her house the day before Easter. After arriving with the candy, my neighbor invited me inside. She is our neighbor who also has a cat named Frankie, but her…
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. https://youtu.be/kJeHB2lIehE?si=O-8t17Y_9oiVVVwU Chris accepted Floki better than he did Frankie. https://youtu.be/2tGVJBe0gwA?si=TyiguIazze2xj7fz He seemed to grow up in no time. We mistakenly assumed Siamese cats were bigger than average but that…
A couple of months ago, I saw a video for a product called Ripple Rug. In the video, the cats were having a wonderful time going in and out of all the holes and crevices. After my wife saw the video, she agreed that we should order one from Chewy. So, we paid the forty-six…
