BELATED GOTCHA DAY CELEBRATION

A Few Words on Wednesday

In the past 40 years, I have been the human mom to 22 cats. During that time, I have forgotten numerous birthdays and gotcha days. I have never, however, forgotten the names of any of our fur children nor the order in which they  joined the family. So, that’s something at least.

On Sunday, I missed Audrey and Raleigh’s fourth Gotcha Day. I must thank Mackerull and his human, Laura, for the reminder. Audrey and Raleigh thank those of you who have already left them Gotcha Day wishes.

I honestly do not feel too badly about all of this, as we did celebrate their fourth birthday at the beginning of June. Regardless, we will celebrate a tiny bit today with a card, some cake from Cooper Murphy and beverages, so Dad Tom and I can officially recognize these two.

AN ANGEL’S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Angel Sawyer & Stinky

It does seem quite unlikely that Kitties Blue would be celebrating another birthday, but many of them were born around the same time; though, in different years.

Today would have been our precious Sawyer’s ninth birthday had he not received his angel wings slightly more than six months ago. I suspect he is celebrating at the Rainbow Bridge with friends and his fursibs. And, I am certain his brofur Mau has created a cake for him. But, of course, we have one for him here as well.

I think about and miss Sawyer everyday. On his third birthday, we never thought we would see him again, as he had been missing for five days. We were immensely grateful when we did get him home after 24 days. Having him back made our love for him even stronger. He didn’t have an easy life, but it was the best one he could have hoped for as a feral kitten living on his own. And we were blessed to have him in our lives.

Though younger than Angel Sawyer, his alter-ego, Stinky, is celebrating today a well.

Cooper Murphy has mastered the art of creating realistic 3-D renderings of his fursibs.

Both kitties were fortunate to have a celebration in their honor yesterday as well. If you missed that one, you can check it out over at Friends Furever.

We do have some noms and beverages for those of you joining us today. Please, enjoy and stay as long as you like.

CATCHING UP WITH OLIVER & OSCAR

Somewhat Wordy Wednesday

I received these recent photos of Oliver and Oscar a few days ago. These two were such tiny whippersnappers, I cannot believe how big they are now. And, so handsome too!

As it happens, I will see for myself just how they have grown today. My friend, Etna, and I will be visiting the boys and their mom. I am very excited to see them in person. As they went to their new home almost six months ago, I doubt they will remember me, but I am hoping they will. I definitely will be letting you know tomorrow how the visit goes. I suspect I will have more photos to share in future posts.

Though, this has been a bit wordy, Oliver and Oscar will be joining the Wordless Wednesday blog hop hosted by Sandee at Comedy Plus. You are able to do the same by clicking on the WW badge.
