BELATED GOTCHA DAY CELEBRATION & A SPARK

Awww Mondays

This week the awww in Awww Mondays does not stand for awwwdorable but for awwwful mom. It seems that Friday was the anniversary of Audrey and Raleigh’s Gotcha Day in 2022, and I forgot all about it. In my defense, we have been having so many celebrations, that another was due never entered my mind.

Here’s a reminder of how these two awwwdorable babies looked when they arrived here as kittens.

 

Two kittens (a pale orange tabby and a torbie) wrapped in a colorful towel on their Gotcha Day.

 

They were feral kittens living outside, and it had been raining that day. So, we wrapped them up in a big towel. I took them in as a favor to a friend with no intention of adopting them. Well, we all know how that turned out.

And here they are now as three-year-olds!

 

Two three-year-olds, a pale orange tabby and a torbie cat celebrate the third anniversary of their Gotcha Day.

 

You know we must have a bit of a party. Cooper Murphy created an awwwmazing cake.

And we have some nip ice cream and beverages as well.

Raleigh and Audrey thank all of you who have already left Gotcha Day best wishes for them.

They will be participating in the Awww Mondays blog hop hosted by Sandee at Comedy Plus. If you click on the badge below, you can join them there.

Sparks

Monday is the day when we share a Spark (basically a positive affirmation) as well. I had hoped to find something that would relate to celebrations, but did not find anything appropriate. So, I have selected one of my favorite topics: happiness.

Sparks is the creation of Annie from McGuffy’s Reader. It began as a blog hop, created by our friend. Annie stated when she began Sparks, “I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world.”

The Adventures of Periwinkle & Stinky Reminder

This is Periwinkle’s week to plan an adventure for she and Stinky. Our fun-loving tabbies always enjoy taking you along, and I know they will be looking for you tomorrow at Friends Forever. Please don’t disappoint them by missing out.
