Mommy is Old!

Kitties!


Today is our Mommy's Birthday!
She is eleventy-seven years old today, in Cat years.

We celebrated last night, and it was funfunfun!  Daddy made one of her favorite meals for supper and we got some too.  Orange Roughy, (HEAVENLY)  lima beans, (yuk!) and Velveeta Mac-n-Cheese (yummy cheese sauce!).
Afterwards there were presents and dessert!

Mommy kept making moany noises eating the cake...it was chocolate with fudge filling and chocolate whipped cream frosting.
She ate a GREAT BIG piece!
Mommy is a pig where cake and chocolate are concerned.


Now we know that you think our Mommy's name is "Trish", but Daddy never calls her that.  He calls her "Sheeb".  One day a long time ago they were in the grocery store, in line, when they realized they'd forgotten something (prolly Cat food).  Mommy skittered off to get it, and Daddy said "Run little Sheba, run like the wind!"  She's been Sheeb ever since.


Here's the cards Mommy got!
Us Cats e-mailed Grandma Cat, and asked her to pick out a card for us and a little gift that we saved up from our allowances.  This is the inside of one of them that we all signed.  Writing is hard!


We got Mommy this figurine to help her speak the language.


This card is from Daddy and Felix, it plays the Tears for Fears song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World".
heh heh.


Here's the inside of the smoking kitty card...we laughed our (figurative) sox off at the kitty who looked like Felix, so he got hissy and wouldn't sign it!  That's why he signed the one from Daddy.


Sometimes we're a little hard on Felix, he's such a curmudgeon.
Sorry, Felix.

Daddy bought Mommy a SNUGGIE!!!!
She's always cold, and it's fleece, so we expect we'll be spending a lot of time snuggling on the snuggie.


Mommy put on a red clown nose for fun!
She's silly.

Lastly, her Mom & Dad sent her a stunning sterling silver necklace which she absolutely loves.


Mommy, we love you!
Happy Birthday!


Love, 
KonaKitty, The Baby, Grayce, Johnny, Felix, Rupert, Scouty, CC, Sweet Pea, Maui, May Ling, Salem and Sylvester

  1. AW! Happy Birthday to Mom-Cat Trish!! We think you'll be fighting everyone for that snuggie: how long before 12 cats are inside (we assume Felix would stay out) ?
    Have a great day, and we hope they go easy on you for once x

  13. Concatulations on getting your mummy this far. A hint: old mummies need lubrication. Take one of those lemons from the tree, mix it with sugar and rum and a dash of water, heat it, and pour it into the mummy. It will warm the cockles of her heart. When she's had 3, ask for extra treats. guaranteed she'll be furry generous.

We could even smell the cake and our mom said she could almost taste it herself. In fact, our mom was grinning all over the place when we moved over so she could read, too. What a great start to a great day!

  36. Happy birthday Little Sheebie!
    Way back when our mom (her name is Lynne) was 3 years old she would stand at the top of the basement steps when her mommy would go downstairs and yell "Lynnie too!" And she has been known as Lynnie Too ever since. Funny how that works.

    Looks like a great day was had by all!

  48. Greetings,

    Well we better start off by singing you a song, you know which one I mean;

    Happy BIrthday to you,
    Happy Birthday to you,
    Happy Birthday Mummy Trish
    Happy Birthday to you.

    I guess dad had the right idea getting XXL for you, because once the felines see this, they will want a pice of it.

    Take care and enjoy the day.

  54. Happy Birthday, Trish (aka Sheebie)! You're not that old (I'm about a decade farther along).

    Isn't it great to be a cat PURRson? You always get such cool cat cards and other cat PURRaphenalia.

    It looks like you and your baker's dozen (plus hubbie) had a great time clowning around. Hope you get lots and lots of kitty kisses and human hugs, too!

  63. Hi Scouty - this is Zoe! You can come over and eat Temptations with me, and maybe we can play in the snows tomorrow! But, you canNOT bop me on the head like the other cats used to do. Now that I live in my forever home, I do not have to let other cats smack me around. If you promise not to bop me, then come on over! And don't be shy - I'm orange, too, so I understand how it is! :)
