Dark Brown

July 7 is World Chocolate Day!

And we were owned by Chocolate, nicknamed Chucky for over 13 years.

As a kitten, and as brand-new cat pawrents, we thought his fur was a deep, dark brown, hence his name.

As he grew, we realized that he was a black cat, with light tabby markings, that one could only see in certain light.

Tabby!

September, 2009

Chuck on the Pink/Blue chair; it didn't have the pink throw blanket yet.

October, 2013

Celestial Chuck had a jabot AND a belly patch of white fur.

We loved our Chuck, and despite his heart and intestinal woes, he left loving and lasting impressions on us.

Eastside Cats will endeavor to always have a gato negro, as Manny and Chili Bruce will attest to, in memory of Chucky Chocolate.

So, celebrate World Chocolate Day with a dark chocolate-colored kitty cat!

Yawns

Despite what is happening around us all, watching our cats yawn, stretch, and nap is a balm to our worried souls.

Am so very grateful for the furry friends that inhabit our house, our lives, and our hearts.

Mine, and yours.

In honor of losing Celestial Chuck four years ago, I've used Lunapic to artify a few favorite images of our boy.

Chuck and his littermate sisfur Angel were our first cats.

It was because of housepanther Chuck that we adopted Da Boyz.

We tell them about their big brother.

💔💗We miss you, Chucky.💖💔
