Mom says I’m in the spotlight today ‘cuz it’s my birthday.  She said I get to celebrate all day long and tell all my human friends and fur people.

Look what Mom got me……a new scratching post!!!  She said I have to share it with my big brother, Hemingway.  Is that fair?

Copy of P1020516

Mom….are you sure he’s going to share with me?

Copy of P1020514

This is so cool!

Mom…..I think there’s catnip in here!!!!

Mom….look….Shakespeare is sharing with me!  Maybe now that he’s three like me, he won’t be such a little brat.  I’m glad he’s having a birthday today

God, I’m so thankful that I’m three years old today.  You let me have this wonderful forever home.  You told Mom she should adopt me and she did.  You even gave me a big brother.  Sometimes he’s a royal pain and we fight, but I do love him.  Thank you for my new scratching post and all the treats.  I can’t believe I’m three.  Do you realize that’s almost all the toes on one paw?  I’m getting old!!!

We Love Surprises!!!

The other day Aunty Pat stopped by and brought us some presents.

She said she was celebrating both of our birthdays by bringing presents in between when our birthdays fall.  Mom showed us the stuff briefly but tonight she finally let us really look at our presents and sample them.

I don’t think it’s fair!  Hemingway’s birthday was in December and that was LAST year!  My birthday  is next month…hey March starts tomorrow….and I should get more of the treats.

Mom said we have to share so quit complaining.

Then to make today even more special, Mom gave us TUNA JUICE!!!!

Mom…..stop taking our picture.  We’re trying to eat!!!  We don’t take pictures of you eating.

I don’t know if I’ll get all the tuna juice off before I fall asleep.  What a wonderful day.

MOM!!!! We Have Some Great Ideas!!!

Hemningway on Pillow

Mom….since Shakespeare’s birthday is next month, I have a great idea.  Why don’t you get him a big pillow?  See how I hang over all the place on this one?  I know he would love it and I’ll make sure that he shares it with me.

Shakespeare and Plumeria

Mom…..I’m so excited that my birthday’s coming but don’t listen to Hemingway.  I don’t need a big pillow.  I don’t hang all over the place on that pillow and I like it.  Hemingway just needs to get on the treadmill.  However, notice how nice these plumeria leaves look on my head?  I think it would be great to go to the beach for my birthday.  Just think……….we could get out of the snow and cold.

Mom….if we go to the beach, how are we getting there and how far is it?

The Mom:  Boys, the beach is really far away and we would have to drive for several days or take a plane. 

No way!!!!  I’m not going in the car.

I don’t want to be in a  car that long either.

Maybe that pillow is a good idea after all….

Mom Got Us a Present!

Mom said that she feels sorry for us ‘cuz we can’t go outside and play so she brought home a present for us tonight.

We have plenty of things to play with inside but don’t tell Mom ‘cuz we think it’s so neat that she got us a present.

Shakespeare, you’ve got your big head in the way so nobody can see!

Copy of P1020428

That’s better.  At least I know to stand away so everyone can see!  Look!  It’s a picture painted by our fur person friend, Quint!  Mom told us all about him and how he likes to paint these beautiful pictures.  Now we have an original!  Now we have to get our own wall so we can hang our painting.

Copy of P1020427

I like this!  There’s even some of my orange color in the picture.  Thanks, Quint!  Mom told us that some of the proceeds from Quint’s art goes to help other kitties who don’t have homes.  That’s really special ‘cuz both of us were homeless when we were kittens.

Mom knows I like to look at things from all vantage points.

Copy of P1020436

I bet I could paint…………MOM…..GET ME SOME PAINTS!!!!

Copy of P1020432

Yep……..lying down is the best way to view fine art.

Thanks Mom!

It’s a Wonderful Life

We hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas. 

We sure did!

Yes, Santa Paws was very good to both of us and the Birthday Kitty was really good to me.  I got new toys and lots of treats.

Mom told us we have to share the treats, Hemingway!

I know, but then when your birthday comes, we have to share your birthday treats too.

I will.  Let’s show the readers how we celebrated.

I think Mom is going to have to help us open this one.

Thanks for all the birthday greetings, everyone!  They mean so much to me.  I’m glad you have become my friends.

Happy Birthday to Me and Merry Christmas to You!

This is my special day.  I am now three years old so I’m very wise!

Hemingway 9 Weeks Old

This was me when Mom first got me.  I was only 9 weeks old in this picture.

This is me now.  I grew and grew and grew!

Mom got me a neat new water fountain for my birthday.  I had to check it out right away while Shakespeare was sleeping.  I quickly learned that if I splash the water out, then it makes gurgling sounds when the bowl fills up again.  COOL!!!!

My Toys

Hemingway, Mom said we should remember to wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas

Yes.  Even though it’s my birthday today, I know that it’s Christmas tomorrow and both of us hope that all our friends have a wonderful time with their humans and fur people.  Thanks so much for joining us this past year.  We hope to see you again next year!

Let’s go check and see if Santa Paws is in the neighborhood yet.  I sure hope he brings us some treats!

MERRY CHRISTMAS
