Cats Celebrating Birthdays

We got our cats just after they were weaned in the summer of 2002.  We counted back from that and arbitrarily decreed their birthday was May 15th.

Some years we made a big deal out of the day.  Some years we forget all about it. But this year, since it fell on the weekend, everyone made sure to give both Jackson and Pepper extra attention (and extra lap time for Pepper, who's into that type of stuff).  Jackson prefers to nap alone, so I folded his favorite blanket  on top of the couch to get it ready for his early evening nap

  2. I've noticed many kittens seem to be born in May, and I've arbitrarily given Mother's Day as the birthday of kittens. Happy birthday to yours.

    1. The Mother's Day guideline is a good one.

  3. You've had them a long time. They look so happy. Happy birthday, kids. 14 now? They've had long lives with you. I love to see time lapse photos of cats, as they age with their people.

    1. Yes, our cats have had nice lives. I'm sure being pampered helps. Our first cat lived to the ripe old age of 21, and I'm hoping both of our current boys can come close to that.
