    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!

    Fister sends purrs and thanks to you all. Just as I was finishing my dinner, he proudly produced a hairball right in front of the bedroom - of course on a carpet. I suppose it's because he was down chewing some grass the other day. Could of course be that he indulged a bit too much in his treats. He seems fine though.

    At the vets, I asked if there was some kind of supplement that he might need and the vet said; perhaps some Omega 3 oil, so I bought a bottle of that, which Fister has had about ten drops of a day. I don't know if that would cause him to puke.

    Funny about those freckles - they seem to come and go, and to move around a bit.

    Yes, Fister's mom was quite a beauty, although grumpy. Only when she was very sick, she came to me.

    What a lovely picture of Michael and ?? - Fister appreciates the snacks they sent.

    I'll pass on all the kisses and headbumpies and tummy rubs.
