Happy Birthday Opie! You were the first kitten we ever got, and you outlived all the other cats in the family. Now you have another kitten to teach–little Louie. He needs help. Extra treats for you both today!

Louie’s Birthday One Year Young. A week ago or so it was your first Christmas and now a birthday! So much excitement! No wonder you are under the bed. No more traveling around in the back of a truck. You’re in a new home where you will be well cared for. That is the best gift of all.

Not my arm in the featured photo. We do not have great photos as his safe spot is under the bed. Piles of toys are under there including the banana collection. He runs under there to feel safe. If I offer him a Greenie treat outside the door to his room, he will come out and take it and run back under the bed like a squirrel and eat it. Then if offered another, he will repeat. I can report he has realized the invisible force field keeping him inside his room is off, and he has been exploring the rooms on the second floor. He knows all the good hiding places. He is getting more confident daily. Bringing Opie up to visit results in her running back downstairs.





Happy Birthday Opie! You were the oldest cat of all, picked up living on a neighbor’s porch and brought home. You were just a small kitten. Now you have outlasted them all. Finally you own the penguin blanket. She moved downstairs out of her old room into my bedroom where she stays most of the time, generally on the window. Sleeping in a cat bed at the end of my bed. She comes out and likes to sit on my lap while I watch television. Happy Birthday Miss Opie!




Happy Birthday Opie! We got our birthdays kind of bunched together and we are all almost the same age–same generation at least. Opie is Zeke’s slightly older sister. She is the sharp one and he is the rascal! We will display today a gallery of old Opie photos through the years. 30 photos follow:































Scooby Birthday March 28 2010 — that was the date on his paperwork when I adopted him at PetSmart in Oct 2015. That’s what we got and that is what we run with. He made a big change to the household cat dynamics. He is quite affable and people friendly and does not have a mean bone in his body. He is a people lover. Below we have a random selection of photos over the years of “Big Red”. He almost got that name but Scooby fits him better.Don’t you think? He really has nothing in common with the big cartoon dog. We just like the sound of it. 30 photos follow!
