A Blast from the Past




Kitties!

Today we have a photo of Mommy with our Brother-Who-Came-Before, Chuckles!

Chuck was deaf, stubborn, and he was, according to Mommy, a "Real Stinker".
She loved him to bits.
Except when he launched things off the shelves to test gravity.  And destroyed shoes.  And howled at the top of his lungs.  And stalked his housemates.  Sometimes all of these (and more!) in one day--or in a single hour--Chuckles enjoyed chaos.

OK, maybe Mommy loved Chuck despite his...um...eccentricities.

He claimed it was revenge for the time when Mommy accidentally poked her thumb in his bum-hole introducing him to the mechanics of the cat flap--but that's another story.
Anyway, this photo begs some interesting questions:

When and where was this photo was taken?
Is that Mommy's natural hair color?
Are those ears for real?
Just how bad was her eyesight?
Were Chuck's eyes blue or green?
Was he a snuggler?
Who was he staring down?
and...why don't we have houseplants any more?


Leave us a guess or two!


Happy Saturday!

  2. Well, if Chuckles pushed things off counters, I suspect that's where the plants went! And of course your moms ears are real! I can see them, right there! Oh, are they hers? Well, she owns them.. hee hee I'm betting Chuckles eyes were blue. Who's he staring down at? Well, since we dont know when this was taken, I'm gonna guess the oldest current kitty, KonnaKitty?? But it's probably The Baby, lol

  3. He is a pretty boy. No one knows a mom's natural hair color. It's a rule

  4. Okay, here goes - if Chuck was deaf, his eyes were probably blue. And of course those are his real ears! And I can imagine why YOU don't have houseplants anymore - but the reason we don't is my human kept killing them and began to feel too guilty to get any more!

  5. Lovely to see Chuck! And that's one big Mommy Hug she's giving him - wethinks his eyes were blue and he was staring down the photographer - not at the right angle of course as that would be too easy! As for Mommy's hair and ears - the ears may be natural colour and we doubt the hair is real.
    What's a houseplant ?

  6. No answers. Too busy pointing and sniggering!

  7. I am thinking the picture was taken at Mommy's parents' house. That is her natural hair color. Chucks eyes were blue. But for the rest, I dunno. Looking forward to the answers!

  9. If your mom could manage Chuckles, her current 13 cats are a piece of cake!

    Glass lenses--haven't seen them in ages ;-)

  10. Aw, Chuck couldn't have been that bad. I think he was just misunderstood.

    I have no answers for that photo. I think Mommeh looks better now...without the ears.

  11. Well, Chuckle ears are real, and so are mom's but the head band ears aren't. When and where - well I'd have to say late 80's based on the glasses because my friend still wears a very similar pair...no joke...except hers are tinted. Where - probably not your mom's house if Chuckles was so good a knocking things about so maybe the mom's mom and dad's house?

    It will be fun to know the answers! Have a good day everyone!

  14. Fun to hear more behind this picture that we've seen for so long. I'm becoming convinced white kitties are crazy (in a good way!). What a hoot Chuck was!

    We're like Summer's human here. We mainly don't have plants because we, the humans, kill them, not the kitties. We bet Chuckles like to knock the plants off the shelves.

  16. Chuck was a cutie! All excellent questions.

  17. We think we know the answer to that last question, too. Chuck was a cutie and was just being a kitty.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yeah, we're pretty sure you don't have houseplants anymore because you eat and dig in them. We bet some cat even peed in the dirt, right?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Whoa! Look how young your Mom was. I don’t think TW was ever that young. Chuckie sounds like my kind of cat.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh Chuckie sounds so dear. It's amazing still the differing personalities our fur babies have.

  21. Oh I remember that photo!!!!! Didn't that use to be your Avatar? Such a sweetie

  22. And whatever happened to that poor dresser? Was that your mom's idea of good decorating? MOL. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
