    Fister is fourteen

    Happy 14th Birthday, my dear Fister!






    How time flies! It seems just like yesterday Fister and his mom was running around in the yard. He started coming for visits when he was about one year old. Now, Fister has been up here for almost thirteen years. He still loves to explore the yard, though, and is usually down for half an hour or so in the morning - almost daily in the summer season.

    Of course, he has slowed down a bit, but he can certainly race around when he’s in that mood.

    I took him to the vet for a check-up a few weeks ago and I am SO happy he is a healthy boy.

    Fister has of course been the center of attention all these years, so we have taken many pictures of him. I searched for old ones which I’ll post here.



    In this, Fister was still hanging out with his mom, they are waiting for treats.


    In his early years, he loved to climb the tree next to the dustbin shed and sit up there surveying his yard.


    From here, he could keep an eye on us in the kitchen.


    One of his favourite things to do is to roll around in the dirt.


    And chewing grass.

    More to come....

    That got boring after a while, though... come down and let me in!



    A soft duvet surely beats the yard.


    Some tummy rubs aren’t bad either.


    Oh, and he used to help John keep his maps in place.

    HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY,
    DEAR FISTER!!!!!



    A song for you, Fister: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lER0JrrqzMA

    (I'm taking their word for it that he really is singing what it says he is! Apologies to Fister if the tune is wrong, as someone commented.)

    What a wonderful photo collection! A dear cat's life in pictures!

    Handsome Fister! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you have many many more Enjoy the yard and the summer to come!

    I love all the photos, pink paws, soft belly, etc. Fister is so cute! I have never met him, but I am convinced he has something special. I mean, all cats have something special, but some have something even more special Perhaps it is in his look and his ability to communicate with humans. Peppito is of this kind too

    Fister says thank you all!

    After breakfast I had to rush out for a meeting, but I did get a few pics of him in the window that I have now uploaded. We had some time for a good brushing and some treats, of course!

    Yesterday, I went to a new pet shop called Maxi Zoo - quite big, but they didn't have all the things I wanted. I got some mice, a box of 4 different wet food with gelé... Purina, and a can of eco wet food called Bio Plan. He seems to like both. I wanted to get him a lazer pen as well, but forgot. He doesn't really want to play much, never have - but some good capnip is always interesting.

    Here are some pics from this morning.
