MOM!!!  Don’t tell me you forgot!  What were you thinking?  You went out after work and didn’t get home until late.  You didn’t even schedule play time with me.  Don’t you realize that I became almost a year old yesterday?  I’m eleven months and one day old now.

Steinbeck, dear precious kitty.  I did not forget.  However, I went to visit a couple of your blogging buddies and their humans.  I hadn’t seen them for a long time and I knew you would understand.

So who was it?  Are you sure I know them?

Yes you do.  It was Katie and Waffles from Glogirly, Tails of Two Funny Cats & Their Girl.

Did Waffles remember me and did he wish me a happy almost one year old birthday?

Waffles, my human very seldom listens to me.  If you get several of them together in one room, it’s a hopeless mess.

Steinbeck, be good.  Here’s a picture of Waffles, his human Debby, and me.  We’re not sure what Waffles was trying to tell us, but he didn’t really want his picture taken.

Where’s Katie?  And what are all the lights behind you?

Oh, I got to see Katie but I didn’t get a picture of her.  She was busy being queen of the place so she didn’t want to socialize with us peasants.  But she did come out to show us all how pretty she is.

Does she want a younger boyfriend?  I’m almost one now.  I should be able to start dating.  Don’t you agree, Waffles?

I think she’s pretty busy, but Waffles could ask her.  Remember she doesn’t live close to you now.  Oh, the lights are so pretty from where Waffles and Katie live.  Here’s a shot Gloman helped me take of all the city lights.

Mom, I’m kind of tired now so you can turn off the puter.  Thanks for not forgetting my eleventh month day.  I’m glad you got to see your human friends and our furry friends.
