new cat behavior

::Meowwww::

Welcome to my GotchaBirthday Celebration!  I arrived in my garden 10 years ago!   Mom and dad guesstimated that I was about 2 years old at the time, so that makes me 12 years old!

But the nip survived just fine so there is plenty to go around.

For those of you who are my new furriends, you can follow the link to my GotchaDay.  It's a sad story with a VERY happy ending.

And so my furriends, since it's cold outside, the celebration will be indoors!  I've got dibs on the couch next to my daddy, but there are plenty of other places to hang out!

It's my 9th Gotcha Birthday today!!!   I was rescued from my very own garden back in 2002.  I was about 2 years old when I was saved, so that makes me about 11 years old.  I think I'm the luckiest cat in the world.  I've got a great family, a great home, an amazing garden to call my own and the best furriends in the whole world. 

 My pal Alfie Marshall made the journey all the way from England.  I tried to tell him that the garden party would be washed out.  We've had days and days of rain and by the time it's done we'll have about 10 days straight of rain.  But Alfie said that was ok, we'd use an umbrella to keep us dry.

Can we go inside now?

No GotchaBirthday celebration would be complete without reflecting how it was when I first arrived here.    You can read the story if you didn't already know it.  It doesn't make me sad anymore, just makes the celebration much more meaningful.

Niptinis and cheese platters are inside the house, so let's get dry and go eat!
