On a lighter note, today was Dolly's eighth birthday. Here she is posing, against the sun, I'm afraid - with a cat you have to just take your opportunities when they arise.
I hope she had a good day; I sang "Happy Birthday" to her, and she yawned partway through, in the usual way of cats. I didn't take it personally.
She enjoyed the sun on the front window for quite a while
We tend to fuss over her regularly, so I don't know if she could tell it was a special occasion by the extra attention. I have to say I was really lamenting the unfortunate communications barrier between homo sapiens and felines. I wanted her to know it was her birthday, and we were celebrating it!
I gave her a drink of water in a cut-glass bowl - why not? She's an equal member of this household.
She is The Dolly.
Oh, how sweet! I just showed Mike Dolly's pictures--He's a big cat lover. Dolly's always so clean and soft-looking. And yes, I'd love to know how much they understand. In any case, I'm sure Dolly knows you love her. :)
ReplyDeleteOOoh, if I had known we would have sent her a special gift from Texas - catnip, bluebonnets..oh something!
