Happy Birthday, Kitty Cousins!

Today is the birthday of the Kevin cats.  They are turning 11 which makes them officially Old Guys.

Good thing this one is already a wise, distinguished gray.


He is so handsome I could die.  Look at that first-class daintiness with the one paw outstretched.

And I am glad to hear this inky one shows no signs from retiring from his career as a super hero, The Silky Torpedo.


Last year on their tenth birthday, they got sardines and the black cat sure got to practice being a torpedo under Kevin's feet.  I wonder if Kevin is repeating the treats, or if he got too torpedoed.


I love these kitties.  It's nice to think of them as part of the extended family.  They are such loving, special beasts.


I know they bring Kevin and Diana lots of joy.  And they do me as well.

Happy Birthday little buddies! You are the answer to the riddle: What walks on four legs backwards in the morning, four legs frontwards at noon, and four legs frontwards again in the evening. Birthday!

I love kitties with attitude.

Happy birthday kitties!

Are those built-in recessed floor-to-ceiling shelves in the background of that one pic? I am insanely jealous.

Thank you for the lovely tribute. The beasts deserve it. And it cheers me up.
