Our children at three...
Yes. I am referring to our cats at "our children." Yes. Laugh as you will...
In any regard, we celebrated today the birthday of our two pets, Ghost & Goblin. They are cats and they are adorable.
Celebrating basically entailed the following:
In any regard, we celebrated today the birthday of our two pets, Ghost & Goblin. They are cats and they are adorable.
Celebrating basically entailed the following:- Getting a card from our pet insurance company. This proved popular last year. Doing a brief search of our site on Google... many of the hits have to do with the scan of last years card. That and some dude in in Taiwan really liked the picture of me giving a "thumbs up" for Martha Stewart. Fun fun.
- Feeding them tuna for breakfast. We are normally fastidious about feeding them food that is good for them (albeit they do get their Pounce treats all the time), but its their birthday. And for a cat, they get one every seven years. Or is it five. Er... um... tuna. Yup.
- Birthday gifts. We like getting them little things that both of them will enjoy, although each is geared toward the interests (heh) of each cat. Ghost likes exploring. He likes getting out of the house on car rides (no joke). He looks out the window constantly. So... we got him a harness and a leash. Goblin, however, likes to attack and pounce on things. And she likes running around like an idiot. So we got her a laser-pointer.
- Ghost wasn't too keen on donning the harness. Hell, he doesn't like his regular collar.
- Ghost also wasn't keen on going outside. He constantly stares out at the wide world in awe and wonder, but as soon as he got out to the front door, he crawled up the porch stairs and towards the door. We had to set him back out a couple of times.
- Ghost enjoyed finding new smells (eventually) but seemed to be a little wigged out by the tether. Also, he walked like he was wading though several inches of water on not-so-very-long grass. Weirdo.
- Goblin (as expected) ran around like an idiot after the elusive red dot. Ghost seemed interested, but not a quarter of the fervor his sister displayed. I tuckered her out after about a half hour of continuous "chase the dot."
So that is about that. Our kitties are three years old now - still cute as ever.
