Caturday Birthday Art
Today Misty May and Angel Mau celebrate their 18th birthday. My wish for today would be that Mau was still with us to celebrate. He was a wonderful cat with a warm and generous heart. I think about and miss him everyday.
Their birthday card includes two of the very earliest photos taken shortly after we adopted Misty may and Mau in November of 2004. As youngsters they were bonded but grew apart as years passed. Mauricio was the nurturer, but he lavished his attention on others of the Kitties Blue and not his sister.
Though Misty May has been deaf for a few years and suffers from thyroid disease, she just keeps going like that Energizer bunny. She prefers to spend her days on the front porch and her nights on my pillow. She occasionally decides to spend an afternoon on one of our neighbor’s porches but is always home in plenty of time for meals.
I recently learned that male cats have shorter lifespans (up to two to three years less) than female cats, so that may be the reason Misty May is still with us and Mau isn’t. He received his angel wings on July 17, 2020.
Party Time
Cooper Murphy created an exceptionally cute cake. And we have some raspberry and nip-garnished, pink champagne to accompany it. Please help yourselves.
Misty May and Angel Mau will be participating in Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty’s Caturday Art blog hop. You can do the same by clicking on her badge.
Comment-a-thon
In honor of Misty May and Angel Mau, Kitties Blue and I are having a comment-a-thon. I will donate $1 for every comment (one per person, please) made on this post through midnight Thursday. One commenter, selected through Random.org, will have the opportunity to select the pet rescue or charity to receive the donation. So please feel free to invite all your friends to join the party and comment.
Sunday Selfies Reminder
It is time again for selfies. And miracle of miracles, I know who your host will be. And she’s already snapped her photo. But that’s as much of a hint as you’ll get. You will need to join us again tomorrow to find out which of the girls it is.
Thanks for joining us for today’s celebration. Have a purrfect day.
I love this celebration style. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I wish many happy returns of the day to Misty May, and a wonderful birthday at the Bridge to Angel Mau!
Happy Birthday sweet Misty May and Angel Mau. Thank you for the refreshments!

Happy Birthday, Misty May and Angel Mau.
What a blessing to have a beloved four legged friend with you for 18 years. We hope each one of those 18 years have been happy for you Misty May, and you have many more. (Happy birthday in heaven, precious Angel Mau.) XOX Xena, Lucy, Chia and Riley
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Misty May and Angel Mau Mau!! Misty May, you are now old enough to vote! <3 We hope you have the purrfect day.
Males having a shorter lifespan is interesting. Lita was 15 and Jewel was 16 when they went to Rainbow Bridge. Carmine will be 18 in another five months. I guess he beats the odds. 🙂
Sending purrs and love,
Carmine, Tylan, and Mom Sierra
Happy Birthday you two!!!

If we win the ‘prize’. it will go to Froggy’s Pond, a shelter started and maintained by our vet, for kitties that are not generally considered adoptable, most are positive for Feline Leukemia, but he will adopt them out to the right families. I have met some of them and they are all precious! Some are even ‘office kitties’!
Oh, happy birthday to you (certainly) cousins in the Tuxie world, so beautiful both of you are and very loved, we see that.
A very Happy Birthday to Misty May and Angel Mau! Lovely pictures of them!
