It’s my birthday

This weeks blog is all about me! Well I know it’s about me every week but this week is special. On Friday it was my birthday and I turned 3. I’ve been so excited all week as I love birthdays, mummy and daddy buy me presents and we get to eat extra special food and I get to do what I want for the day.

In your human years I’m now 28. Before Friday I was what’s known as a junior and before that and before I found my forever home I was a kitten. Being 3 is a big deal for me, on the streets becoming 3 is quite an achievement, you’re considered quite old and I never really thought I would make it. In my forever home though 3 is just a youngster my big brother Peppar is 13 and my big sister Mia was 17 before she crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge, Peppar says that Misty who crossed over and made way for me to join the family was 26 so now I have the chance to live a very long and happy life.

Mummy and daddy thought that I wouldn’t notice something new hanging off the dining room chair! I know I’m not allowed on the table but the chairs are ok, I hoped up there the other day and smelt a new smell, I felt something soft and furry just above my head so I gave it a sniff, touched it with my paw and it felt lovely and soft, I felt a little way further to get an idea of what it might be and it felt just like the hammock beds we have on our climbing trees so I gave it a go and hopped in to give it a try. Mummy turned round and said to daddy “ oh no, she’s not supposed to be in there it’s her birthday present!” Daddy said “ she wasn’t supposed to find it, we were just airing it out before we gave it to her but we should have known she’d find it!”

So as you can see I got this lovely hammock bed and I also got some more toys to play with. A while ago whilst mummy and I were out on walkies she found a small foam ball which we started to play with and I love chasing it and running about after it. It’s just like my favourite nosey toy that I used to play fetch with down our hallway. I love playing with the new ball so mummy and daddy thought it would be nice for me to have some more to play with and got me a whole set of balls to run around after. I’ve got ⚽️ 🥎 🏀 🏉 to play with now and if one gets lost under the table I can just go and get another one. Millie seems to like them too so I might have to share them with her but as long as she knows they’re mine that’s ok.

I’m such a lucky girl as I also got lots of lovely birthday wishes from my friends that I have made all around the world through my blog and Instagram, who knew that a little ex street cat would have so many lovely friends who care and want to be my friend.

We had an extra long walkies as a special and I put on my party bandana to celebrate. I stalked some pigeons, played apple football with mummy (I won of course) and sat with mummy under the tree chilling out together. Then I heard the patter of paws and mummy started talking to someone. I recognised the smell of the paws, it was the dog that mummy and I sometimes see when we’re out walking, he sometimes woofs at us from his doorway. This time though he came over to say hello and we had a good sniff of each other for a little while before I decided that I needed to carry on with my walkies. I can tell he’s a little dog by the sound of his feet and he’s definately smaller than my other doggie friend Boris. Now we’ve met properly there’s no need for us to avoid him if we meet when we’re out walking, we can stop and say hello now. How fun to have made a new friend and on my birthday too.

Who would have thought that after the start in life I had that I now have everything I could ever have wished for (and more). I get a whole day just for me, I get birthday presents, fancy food, fun and games with mummy and daddy and we even had a little party just to celebrate my special day.
