Happy 18th Birthday, Mangy!

I know it's been a really tough year so far (not a great 3 years), and the possibility of this being your final birthday celebration is very real, but, man, you've made this an exciting ride. From the time you fell out of the sky at three weeks old and shredded my hands and forearms in the excitement of every bottle feeding, you've been the life of the party and of our family. I'll keep plugging along as long as you tell me. You were filthy and gross when you first arrived, and you're determined to go out the same way. 😉 So, I'll wash and shave and brush and scrub and whatever you require. I'd say that you owe me, but I think you paid your bill in full long ago.

Oh, CrazyMang! 🎉

Happy 17th Birthday, Slippers!
To me you will always be that helpless 2-week-old baby kitten whose mom left you behind. She must have known that we would one day be inseparable. 🖤

I told you yesterday that I would make a much happier post today, and here it is:

Happy 21st Birthday, Mr. Uncle Floozie!!!

How, you might ask, do you know he's 21? Did you rescue an adult cat a few years ago and just plop some random age on him? Nope, that's not how it happened at all. Here's the Cliff Notes version. 😉

This coming May will be the 20th anniversary of this guy walking off the street and right between my feet into our previous house. He's been with us ever since. No, I was not exactly in the delivery room when his mom gave birth to him, but I told my family that he looked about 15 months old. I took him to the vet, and, without me mentioning what I thought, she said he was...about 15 months old. So that took us back to a February birthday, and how could this Sexy Beast not have been born on Valentine's Day???

Regardless of his actual birthday (He was definitely an adult when he wandered into our lives 20 years ago), this guy has lived with us longer than I lived with my parents. 😆 And, even though he now has some white fur and whiskers and is deaf and skinny as a rail, he still jumps on the bed, plays with toys, and...snuggles in the laundry 😉.

And, that's the rest of the story. 😏

Friends,
I know I rarely post here, anymore, but you have always been so supportive throughout the years that I feel I need to let you know when something (good or bad) occurs involving one of the cats that you have come to love. This is not a post I enjoy making, so please come back tomorrow (2/14) for a much brighter announcement.

So, here goes:

It is with a heavy heart that I must share with you that, this afternoon, Linty finished her journey here on this earth. After a valiant fight of over a year against spreading cancer, our beauty is now at rest in our garden near Bea and Johnny and many others. She was the prettiest girl who will now be a part of the prettiest flowers. Gosh, I'll miss that beauty and all of her sass. 💔

I know it's been a very long time since we've posted anything, but I wanted to quickly pop in and wish this little punk a Happy 11th Birthday. 🎉 Who remembers when Franky (aka StupidHead) joined our family?

Happy 15th Birthday, Linty! 🎊

I know you've got some "stuff" going on right now, and I'm sorry that we just can't seem to figure it out. There were several times in the past year that I didn't think you'd even make it to this day, but we fought together. As long as you keep giving the boys sass, I'll keep sneaking your pills and feeding you with your "beloved" 😉 syringe. (We'll face that suspected melanoma on your eye when we have to, but you're not ready right now.) You're a beauty, and you know it. You're also a hoot.

We interrupt our social media silence for a very important message:

Happy 17th Birthday, Mangy! 🎉

Although your days are now full of Rx food, syringe feedings, pills, insulin shots, at-home sub-q fluids, and frequent vet visits, they are also sprinkled with sun puddles, naps on high-pile area rugs, sassy old lady conversations, fur brushings, ear scratches, and (🤫 Don't tell the vet) an occasional treat. Your large personality and presence certainly changed our world 17 years ago. Go ahead and take it easy; you've definitely earned your rest. ❤

(We'll have another announcement tomorrow.)
