Just to let you know that we all love you so very, very much. Since we’ve moved to our new house and mummy has to go to work everyday you’ve been there for us. Been there to play with us, keep us company, chat to us, keep us safe from the people that come in and make lots of noise but above all love us.
Mummy got us and told us that it was your special day before she went off to work and I really hope that my extra special morning love made a little difference. I try to give you a love every morning but I tried to make this one extra special to show how much I love you. Of course we all love you every day but birthdays are extra special days so I tried to make every effort to make you feel extra loved, specially as mummy had to go to work and abandoned us all.
Well daddy, it’s me Angelin, you’ve got the most snuggly lap so sit down and I’ll shake my tail at you until you give in to your little princess and pick me up and let me give you a big birthday lap snuggle. I know it’s your birthday but even if it is your special day I draw the line at jumping when I know you’ll pick me up and give me a cuddle in your arms before letting me have your lap all to myself for as long as I want. We all love you daddy but I really loves you the most so I hope you enjoyed just sitting back and enjoying the snuggles. I know my snuggles stop you doing anything including have any breakfast or lunch or have a second cup of coffee or use your litter tray until I get off. I love you daddy, from your little foo foo princess.
Whilst we’ve been chatting all week I know that you were worried about your daddy, my Granda, who I have just started to get to know, coz he’s been poorly and in the people hospital. I really hope he didn’t have to have a sting in his bum like I do when I go to the v-e-t as that is really not very nice at all. Plus they don’t play with you much when you have to stay there, the food is different and it’s hard to sleep with all the noisy animals and people coming and going. Being at home is much better and just being with furramily makes you feel so much better already. Granda is always so nice to us all when he and Nanna come to stay, perhaps I could come with you when you go to see him, we could take his favourite toys and I could play with him for a bit to make him feel better, or maybe we could take blankie and I could snuggle on his lap for a bit to keep him warm and cosy. “That’s so sweet of you Jenny but it’s a long joirney in the car and you don’t really like travelling or being in new places” daddy reminded me. Well, maybe if I was a bit of a braver adventure cat that’s what I’d do but maybe I’ll just save it for next time he comes here instead but you can take some of our toys with you when you go to see him if that would make him feel better. I’ll just wait for him to come and visit again and do it then instead, I’m sure he’d still like that and blindie cuddles are the best cuddles of all – not a meow Millie! Yes, floofy, tripaws snuggles are pretty good too.
I know I don’t snuggle on you very much, normally it’s mummy’s laps that I go to but as it’s your birthday I’ll hop on up as a special treat and as a thank you for playing with me and being such a great daddy.
Anyway daddy, we tried to make your special day as fun as possible and show you that we really do appreciate all you do for us. You play with us when we’re bored, you snuggle with us when we’re tired, you give me damp hands when Im meowing in the kitchen, you clean up our sickies and make sure we’re feeling better, you scoop our poop and make sure mummy always has time to take me walkies. You keep us safe when we’re nervous and always make sure there’s plenty of boxes to sit in and make sure our pile of crinkle paper is just how we like it. You don’t move us from the bed when you’re sleeping even if it does make you all achy in the morning. “Jenny,” “Yes Angelin” “don’t forget to say thank you to daddy for always rescuing me when I get stuck up high somewhere or in the kitty bath and can’t get down” “Oh yes, good idea, I’ll add that in too”. Daddy always comes to rescue us.
Mummy edit – Just to explain, the kitty bath is the bidet which Angelin climbed in and couldn’t get out of again. Daddy and I found her sat in there looking so proud of herself but waiting patiently and silently to be helped out.
We also wanted to thank you for sharing your birthday present from mummy with us, more paper and a fun crinkly bow to play with. I wonder if mummy deliberately wrapped it like that so you could share it with us and enjoy your day even more.
Happy Birthday Daddy
