KIZMET: ANOTHER MISSED BIRTHDAY & THANKS

June and its important holidays have gotten the better of me. I have barely managed to celebrate any of them on the correct days. So, once again I have missed another birthday (from Tuesday) as well as Cat World Domination Day from yesterday. As this cat believes the latter was invented with her in mind, we will celebrate both today.

 

Super Meowdel’s 6th Birthday

As Periwinkle & Stinky were off on their weekly adventure Tuesday, we should have been celebrating Kizmet’s birthday. I guess, as we were two days late for Calista Jo’s, Kizmet is not getting any worse treatment.

 

 

Kizmet was our COVID kitty, adopted in December of 2020. We were not even allowed to hold her until after we had officially adopted her.

She’s is the most social of all the Kitties Blue, and she is our official super meowdel. In the now photo, she is giving some birdies a tongue lashing, which does not really show her in super meowdel mode.

Without further preamble or ado, let’s do some celebrating.

As always, there is a gorgeous cake from resident baker, Cooper Murphy. When you compare his caricature of Kizmet to her kitten photo, we think he totally caught her personality.

 

To accompany the cake we have a seafood buffet and some beverages.

 

 

 

Please enjoy the party. In the meantime, I will share some thankfuls for the week.

Thankful Thursday

Dad Tom and I are so thankful for Kizmet. She is a purrfect greeter for anyone who visits, and she definitely was a light in our lives during COVID when we were stuck at home. There isn’t anybody she doesn’t love, except for possibly Tali and Gibbs.

Dad Tom and I completed nine years on the Peloton. My abilities have diminished over time, but I have no intention of quitting anytime soon. Tom now rides his electric bike more often than Peloton, but as long as we are able to be active, we are both super grateful.

Calista Jo is thankful to all those who joined her for her birthday party and left comments for her.

I had a great day on Tuesday for which I am truly thankful. My friend Mary Jane surprised me with a visit that morning. Shortly after she left, I received a telephone call from a dear friend who moved from here nearly 20 years ago. Dad Tom and I are going to plan a road trip to Maine in the fall to visit her. We will make plans to visit some other friends on the way there and home as well.

Periwinkle & Stinky wish to thank Dalton and Benji’s mom, Ingrid, from Meezer’s Mews & Terrieristical Woofs, for suggesting they visit Grouse Mountain, Vancouver, British Columbia, for their recent adventure. They also appreciate those of you who adventured with them and left comments on their post.

And, of course, Kitties Blue and I are thankful for each of you who visit and comment and especially for those who hop with us for Sunday Selfies.

We will be participating in Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday blog hop. To do the same click on the Thankful badge.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday

Normally, I would be sharing a poem today based on an inspirational photo provided by Angel Sammy and Teddy from Two Spoiled Cats. However, with everything else going on in this post, I am saving that for tomorrow.

Thanks for dropping in to see us today.
