My Birthday!

Hi Everyone!  I hope that all you cats are keeping cool out there!  If your summer weather is anything like where I live, then you are drinking a lot of cold water (hopefully supplied frequently by your kind humans!) and giving yourself a lot of extra tongue baths too!  I won't be lying on my porch until later in the evening today ... With a double-thick coat like this, it's no good to have the sun beating down on me!  


For an indoor project, my human mom helped me pick out some pictures from my birthday bash to share with you here!  I had so much fun, and thanks to everyone who sent happy birthdays to me!  It was a special day, well, a special WEEKEND really.  Like I said, we partied for a couple of days.  I felt like a king.  And I mean, really, aren't we cats always trying to show these humans (and sometimes our dog friends too) that cats really are pretty darn regal?  Haha, well here's a few of the fun:






There I was when I first woke up, just waiting for breakfast like I always do ... I think I forgot it was my special day until I looked in my bowl and saw all my favorite kibbles and NONE of the "healthy" ones that my mom mixes in!

Later on, I opened some presents wrapped in fun, crinkly paper ... THIS was the BEST!!!  It's a tunnel that stands up on its own, but it can also close at one end to form a bag/sack (I love to play in paper sacks, but this one is permanent!).  But I didn't know what it was yet.  When new things come into my house, I just sit near them and watch what they might do ....


COOL!!!  This is one of my humans named Dan, who gave me my special gift!  He showed me how to play with my new tunnel/bag... See me listening intently!  He showed me how to go inside and out the end, and how to hunt a toy inside of it!  Oh yeah, and the bag is made of crinkly, crunchy material to knead my paws on!!!!  Just like a plastic bag!  But Mom says it's safer for me.
We played a LOT that night!  And I got to eat a few favorite treats (Temptations! Crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside!  I like ALL the flavors!) before bed.  I usually sleep in a big cardboard box-bed that I've marked and bent just right for me, and that has my favorite blanket inside.  But on my birthday I gave my bag a try ... Does't it make a good sleeping bag too!?  Sweet dreams everyone! **Purrrrs** --Dorian

Dorian, what a fabulous birthday you had! And that tent/bag is so pawsome! We'll have to ask our human for one of those, next birthday that comes around. :-)
