"Meow, Meow, I'm a Big Cat Nowoo!

Well, there are things you can do with dogs that you cannot do with cats. The party hat was a failure, and he refused to wear his bowtie.

Worse, my wife had hidden the Blue Wedgewood China.

But we proceeded bravely with his First Birthday Party.

Music was "Patrick the Fabulous Magician", which he ignored.

The other cats run when they see the fiddle come out..

Here is his cake.
It is a can of Fancy Feast Seafood With Shrimp, his favorite, adorned with Firsky Chicken Kitty Treats.
The candle is a sardine. (It has to be King Oscar's).




Blowing out the candle...kind Of...





Here begins the devastation..



This fellow is a wonderful little friend. Like all our animal friends, he is a unique character with his own little rules, games, and preferences.

Yesterday he had a scare. he sneaked into the Forbidden Garage, and was locked in there. After an hour or so he panicked and began pounding on the door. I thought something terrible had happened to the boiler..he DOES weigh fourteen pounds! When I opened the door, he ran into the house, with his tail all fluffed out like a bottle brush.
I wrote his stepmother, and she told me his brother had done exactly the same thing with their garage!

Aww..Great shot! Does this really happen everyday?...I wish I had someone taking a picture of me today. Picture this: I'll use a clock to set up the positions...at 11:00 there's a woodchuck looking at me, I'm placed at 9:00 looking at Piper, Piper is at 6:00 looking at a chipmonk at around 1:00 and at 12:00 is a bird poking it's head out of the bird house watching all of us, just waiting to see who is going to make the first move. Ever see the movie the Good the Bad and the Ugly towards the end when they were all in a circle and you didn't know who was going to shoot first. That's what it felt like. The theme song would have been perfect!...A back yard moment...Ann By the way no one got hurt, but the chipmonk came close to the pearly gates.
