This gallery doesn't contain great photos, but they are photos of a great cat. Charlie is long gone to Kitty Heaven but lived to the ripe old age of 19. I have had other cats, prettier cats, but I've never had another cat as full of fun and surprises as Charlie. He got into everything! He loved our parakeet, who flew around the house all day, and never tried to harm a feather. They were best buddies...they would sit together on the sofa, Charlie on the seat and Tippie on the back. I found these old photos and decided to make this gallery a memorial to Charlie, a true entertainer and a dear friend. Photos copyright Phyllis Stewart.
