My Big Boy Chester

[Laura's Babies]

I went to Ries the other day and Chester came out and was very friendly. Usually he hides when I am there, afraid I will take him from Rie and bring him back here.. For the newbies, Chester was mine and Rie (my daughter) kept him while I went to work on the boat. I had only had him 2 weeks when I had to go back to work so she kept him while I was gone those 4 weeks so he thought THAT was his home and he hated me bringing him back here when I would come home and he would get mad at me..

When I got Boo, my Mom's cat, Rie said why not just leave him there while I had Boo so I agreed. I still try to furnish what he needs and pay his vet bills (so I am paying "child support" for him). But he still remembers I use to take him away from her and hides when I go over there.

He is still the sweetest boy in the world and everyone who comes to Ries house to visit LOVES him to pieces. He is very sociable and affectionate and still just a BIG ole baby. I still call him "MY big boy" and always will although it is clear to us all the he has picked Rie as his human. He is so happy there that I could never take him away from her..

On to the pictures! He is showing off in them as you will see...

[Randi]

Aww, what a gorgeous boy he is!! Wish I was there to give him some extra tummy rubs - he is certainly asking for them. :love: and it looks like chester is perfectly happy to be at Rie's. :)

Hey, this tummy ain't going to rub itself!

[Medusa]

What a ham bone! He's so pretty!

[momcat]

Chester, you sure are a handsome kitty guy! How wonderful to know that you're happy and content with Rie. I simply can't resist sending tons of rubs to that gorgeous tummy of yours!

He is so handsome, Laura. How old is he?

Grace, I think in July he will be about 7 years old, he was about 8 weeks when I got him.

This is him just days before I got him..

Awww what a cutie!

[Laura's Babies]

I took Chester and Samantha to the vet for their annuals today. Chester has that gum disease and a grade 1 heart murmur! :eek: The vet said right now they are just in the watching stage and he needs to come back in 6 months. Poor boy, his gums are inflamed in places and eventually have to have that gum surgery.

Samantha checked out great but neither were happy for having to go in the CAR somewhere. I told Rie when I took him back home that I bet he wasn't going to allow me to touch him again for a long time or be so friendly towards me anymore... Just when he was starting to trust me again!

[kimlovescats]

He is such a sweet boy! :love:
