This is Bear. He belonged to Richard's daughter-in-law until they got Charlie the dog. Charlie is a lovely dog but he didn't get along with Bear. Bear was an inside/outside cat that wouldn't come in after Charlie arrived.
Grandpa to the rescue. He took Bear in and loved him for over three years. Bear never wanted out and was happy with the love and attention he was getting from Richard. The grandsons would come over and visit their old cat.
I'm not sure how old Bear is, but he's 10 or 11 or perhaps older. Last Wednesday night, Bear bolted out the screen door. He's been seen twice but not by us, by our neighbours. I posted pictures on neighbourhood Facebook pages. We've searched and called and shaken the treats but so far no Bear.
I wonder if Bear has decided to go back to his old house in Ocean Park? The kids are all looking out for him, We hope he shows up!
