Where's that Whitey? Mai Birthday and Gotchaversary Edition! Iz Gud!

Iz a rly big post today, so you might wanna get some catnip and treats before you start reading dis post. Mai will wait a minute.

OK. Ready?

First off... Remember when mai said we were getting our Birthday present a little bit late but it would be worth the wait?

Well, iz here!



When we saw Skeezix's post to Own a Peece of the Food Lady we wuz all very a'cited! We knew right away that wuz what we all wanted for our Birthday!



Grayson thinks iz just for him because he got to have his photo done first.



And Gracie thinks iz hers cuz it iz her first Half-Birthday.



Gandalf thinks iz just for him cuz he wuz the first kitty Momma Gotcha'd. But as you can see, iz mine cuz mai am in 2 photos!



We are all thrilled to have this fabulous piece of art made by Skeezix's Food Lady!



If you look close you can even see Skeezix and Jeter and Daisy! Srsly! We are not sure who the other 2 kitties are, purrhaps Mao and Tripper? Maybe Skeezix or the Food Lady will tell us!

Momma says she will have it put into a shadow box so all our furs don't get all over it and ruin it. As if...

Thanks to the Food Lady for making such a cool sculpture, and thanks to Momma for bidding on it and winning the auction for a very cool Birthday gift for me! OK, fine. For us. But mostly me.

And today is also my very first Gotchaversary!

One year ago today mai Uncle Daddy caught me cuz he saw that mai had all of mai face skins hanging off mai face and all of mai furs missing on one side of mai face. Iz not a gud look, kitties. Srsly.

And mai wuz rly stinky and skinny and matted to mai skins all over. So Uncle Daddy and Momma took me to see Dr. Dave.

Mai wuz a rly big mess, kitties! Mai had to have surgery to remove all of mai dead skins and had mai wounds cleaned. And while I was sedated mai wuz also un-matted, de-wormed, de-flea-ed, un-stink-a-fied, un-infection-ated, un-studded and THEN mai had to get all of mai shots. It wuz a lot of des and uns for one day! But it wuz worth it! Cuz LOOK!



Mai feel much better now. And mai am handsome mancat now! Momma says I definitely smell much better now, too! hahahaha!

And nobuddy guessed mai weight exactly right but some of you wuz very, very close! Mai wuz only 9 pounds when mai wuz Gotcha'd, which wuz way too skinny for me. I had the Hungrumblies rly, rly bad!

Momma calls me Widey sometimes cuz mai have gained lots of weight in the last year. She thought mai would be about 16 pounds when they weighed me last Friday on mai Road Trip. But mai wuzn't 16 pounds. Mai wuz 14 pounds 3 ounces. Iz gud, right? Mai likes mai foods pretty gud. =0)

Momma says mai am the purring-est boy ever! Uncle Daddy iz always saying that he can't believe what a great boy mai am! He still can't believe some mean peoples just tossed me outside to fend for maiself.

Now mai loves everybuddy and anybuddy's lap, but 'spechully mai Momma's! All mai know iz that iz rly, rly gud to be Gotcha'd!

And iz rly gud to have so many friends! Thank you all for being mai friends!
