Happy Birthday Charley!!!

Our little guy Charley is 3 years old today! The little winter solstice kitten was born December 21, 2004 to Dad, Catara Remington Steel of Lawrence and Mom, Catara Blizzard's Little Snowflake of Phillipsburg, PA. He is a Chocolate point Siamese.

In his 3 years, Charley has enjoyed things such as:
  • Being the main subject of his mom's photography hobby
  • Being the star of the Peck's 2007 Christmas card
  • An addition to the table centerpiece luminaries at the wedding
  • Playing with milk caps and wristbands
  • Knocking over trash cans to chew on Q-tips
  • Carrying around stuffed animals and socks
  • Tearing around the house at full speeds
  • Laying in the sun
  • Sitting on the vents when the heat comes on
  • Burrowing and sleeping under the covers
  • Making his mom and dad laugh every day
  • Being the most loyal cat his mom has ever seen.
Here are some pictures from when we first got Charley (in March 2005) and through the years!

^He was so little when he came home - look at that collar, it was the smallest available!

^He was also very light, the coloring on his face and extremities, like all Siamese, didn't really come in until later on

^For the first few months he was so little we had to keep him in a spare room during the day

^He played from the minute we brought him home

^He was so little he fit in Duane's hand when he curled up!

^He enjoys a good acoustic guitar solo by Duane

^Sometimes he doesn't want his picture taken

^Our wedding reception luminary centerpieces starring Charley (and us and the table numbers on the other sides)

P.S. - We know we seem like crazy cat people, but we just can't help it! Charley is the best and most loved cat ever!
