On their 12th birthday

My cats, Fluffy, Twiggy and Shelley celebrated their 12th birthday on Tuesday 17th September. 
I can still remember the day both their mothers gave birth to 8 kittens (4 each) just outside my son's bedroom window. Because we had a few days of rain and cold nights, two days later I brought them inside and put them in a box with a blanket.

You can read how they were adopted by us here.

Linking to Sandee's blog for Feline Friday and Eileen's blog for Saturday Critters.

Just a couple of days after their birth
 And here is Fluffy, just a couple of weeks old and now:





And Twiggy a couple of weeks old and now:




And Shelley, a couple of weeks old and now:

 
Have a wonderful weekend 😉.

  2. ...I guess that 12 is old if you are a cat, I can't remember back that far.

    1. From 11 to 14 they are considered to be senior. I've heard of cats living up to around 22 but that is not the norm of course, I think probably 16 to 18 is normal. Thanks Tom :)

    1. Thank you Lizzie and Jeanie :) Twiggy and Shelley were the "ugly" ones who didn't get adopted out so I had to keep them, but we grew to love their quirky faces and they are lovely cats of course :)

  10. One day... one day...
    I just said to Ingo I´so want to have some cats now - "sure", he replied, "but you´ll never go on holiday again!".
    Guess I really have to wait till we retire...

    I am glad people like you share, so I can have a peek. So cute (sad they always hide in real life! But I understand...).

    1. Thanks Iris :) I suppose you could always use cat hotels or cat sitters. I don't put mine in cat hotels as they hate to leave home and it's stressful to put them in a cage just to take them to the vet, so if I go for a longer period I get someone to stay here and looks after the house and cats too.
