Here is the card I made for Michael with cats on it that look complete pickles to me and not so timid!
The 'Son' is a Papermania stamp which was stamped with Versafine ink and coloured with Promarkers. I then stamped the fun silhouette cats which are from a very old NBUS (never before used Schtuff) clear stamp set, The Cat's Meow by Hunkydory and they were stamped in Black Versafine using my Misti so I could re-stamp several times to get perfect silhouette stamping and perfect placement. The footprints were stamped as a background using a footprint from the same stamp set in Vintage Sepia Versafine. The sentiment is stamped in Black Versafine using Label Maker Sentiments from My Favorite Things on orange card then I finished off with card candy along with Glossy Accents on the 'Son' and the green cats eyes.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

So sorry you lost your precious Lucky, never easy and so heart breaking. He was a beautiful boy, and I know you must miss him.
The card you made for your son is adorable - I like how you applied the Glossy Accents - very cool effect! Yay for the Cat Lovers Hop!
Those cats on your son's card are so fun! They made me giggle! Sorry to hear about your illness... Here's hoping today is a good day! I am in the same situation regarding keeping a cat... I could probably push the condo rules, but can't take care of myself let alone a cat... unless he could cook and clean and do dishes and laundry. lol! I get my fur therapy from my friend's cat.
This is such a cute birthday card! I love the little black cats hanging from the letters! Awesome!
Take Care!
Michele
Awww Chris, Lucky looks lovely, and the name suits because he was Lucky to have found such a loving home. They do leave paw prints on your heart but sadly not everyone is as responsible as you've been in recognising the commitment both financial and otherwise that they need. Hopefully you will both be well enough to have another furry friend in the future.
Your card is fabulous, not seen those stamps and I love how you've used them with the fun Son stamp!
Have a lovely day

Lucky sure was a handsome chap, he has such a beautiful face! I love the cats on the card for your Son too, they look quite mischievous! The word Son is beautifully done too. I really do hope you are feeling much better soon - you have been missed my friend! Hugs, Anne xx
Love your crazy cats. They do seem super jazzed up and not at all timid. I enjoyed hearing about your cat that came with the house story.
I love all animals and i love your card and the cat photo.

I really like how you dangled the cat images from the "son" letters. Cute idea! I'm sorry you are not feeling well and I hope you have some "good" days soon. Hugs.
Good to see you, my friend! Lucky was gorgeous with the coloring he had! And I got such a kick out of your card for your son! It's fun, fun, fun!! Hugs and more hugs, Darnell

A really super and fun card you made for your son Chris. I gather you all loved your cats dearly. We lost our Maggy dog nearly 4 years ago and miss her and talk about her every week. Barbxx
Lovely card and a super sweet cat :-) He had such wonderful markings on his face.
Sorry to hear you are both in poor health and it's a shame you cannot have a kitty :-(
Lovely to meet you at the Hop.

I'm a dog person, rather than a cat person, but I can understand how these creatures really become a part of the family. It is really when hard when they are no longer with us.
I love your quirky card, and I hope Michael did too. It's such fun! Jx
So much fun, Chris ... love how those scatty cats are doing acrobatics off the bold, birght sentiment! Great picture of sweet Lucky ... thanks for sharing! Hugs, Anita :)
Love your fun card! The cats on it are sweet! thealteredpaper@gmail USA
What a fun and energetic card and a beautiful photo of Lucky. You are right about owning pets costing quite a bit of money and I hope that you and your husband have more good days than bad with your health. I find that crafting often helps with easing the pain from various illnesses and love what you shared on the hop.
Lucky was beautiful! Love the pic!
Very fun birthday card... I have this set of stamps and need to use them!

Love your birthday card, Chris, with the frolicking cats!
Oh, that Lucky was a handsome chap!!! Love the wonderful splash of black on his nose!! <3 I'm so sorry your health doesn't allow you to have a kitty now. Hope the situation improves in the future. Any kitty would be Lucky to be in your home!!
Love your fun and colorful card. It's so creative to have the kitties climbing around and hanging on the SON.
Thank you so much for joining in the #CatLoversHop2017!
