Twelve years ago today, my cat Simon was born. He was born in Berkeley, to a large, marmalade-colored mother, and he had one other orange littermate and two black littermates. I answered an ad for free kittens, and picked him out in July of 1994, when he was about seven weeks old.
I have never been closer to any other animal.
Happy birthday, my buddy.
I fear that you and I may off ourselves when Simon and Ollie go.
Fortunately Simon is going to live to be an astonishing 45 years old!
aww, that’s so cute! we have no idea how old our cats are or when they were born and sometimes we wish we knew what they were like as kittens just to understand how they got to where they are today.
There is no love which is the equal to kitty love. In my icon is a picture of of our kitty, Smokie, whom just turned 13.
Here’s to the next 12 years!
Smokie looks a little like my Sasha.
There is a resemblance there. The biggest difference is our Smokie is a lard ass!
so sweet. Happy Birthday Simon!
meow meow (thanks)
wow you look like kathleen hanna in that first pic.
that is just too adorable for words.
He gets a little aggressive at bedtime and tries to lay on my face.
ack! the cuteness is overwhelming.
Happy birthday, Simon!
I love that picture of you guys in the bed. But the one up top is fabulous. My favorite, though, is still the one of Simon on top of the stove, I think.
YAYY!!
What a good boy.
Alphie is 12 (April 12), Amanda is 10 (April 3) which means Ashleigh must be 14 (as near as I can tell)since she came into the house before you went to SF (since you gave her her name, remember (Ashleigh Paige)? Mom
