Guess Whose Birthday is New Years Day?
New Year’s Eve – humans celebrate the end of one year and the start of the next. So many celebrations all together huh?? Well, here’s one more to celebrate………..GUESS WHOSE TWELFTH BIRTHDAY IS NEW YEARS DAY????
Yeah, I know…..I don’t look my age – right? I still look like a mere kitten and I owe it all to my cushy life with my parents. I’ve only had a couple of minor scuffles with other cats in my time – so never been in a real “cat fight” to speak of. So I’m not missing any bits of ear or parts of my tail, and no scars on my handsome ginger face either…..so I’m not too “WORN” looking for twelve.
Truth be told, my parents don’t really know exactly WHEN my birthday was. When they went to the animal shelter in February, 2000 to adopt a cat the shelter people couldn’t say exactly how old I was at the time. I was tiny though. They thought maybe around Christmas time I could have been born because they figured me to be about six weeks old. Who knows?! The important thing is I charmed my parents into taking me home with them – THEY decided my birthday might have been some time around January first so I became their NEW YEARS BABY!
I’m one lucky boy. Spoiled? I know I say I’m one spoiled cat and maybe in a lot of ways I am. I sure have a nice house, lots of toys, plenty of food, and parents who totally love me and protect me. If that’s spoiled then count me in!!
So – you’re all invited to my *birthday party* on New Years Day….OK?
Happy Tuesday……
Sammy, One Spoiled, Almost Twelve Year Old Cat
TWO Spoiled Cats 
Well, Sammy, guess who’s birthday is New Year’s Day FOR REAL?? My Motor Man! Yep – he’s a New Year’s Baby! So you share a birthday with someone very special.
Can’t wait to see the party your Mom and Dad give you!
Love, Sundae

Hey thanks for the compliment! I am just one year old in my head….just like my Mom says she’s 18 in her head. Our bodies might not be what they used to be (!!) but in our heads we’re younger than springtime…… 😀 I hope you all have a great week too and I hope you come back on January 1st for my PAR-TAY.

How Cool !!!
When my Mom & Dad decided to let me in the house and I became”officially” theirs. They took me to the Vet and he said he thought I was about 10 months old. That was in October 2011. So they set my “Birthday” as Jan. 1, 2011. Then a few months later, when Jasper came to live with us, the Vet said he was the same age I was. SO, we BOTH celebrate our birthdays on Jan1. also !! Have a GREAT PARTY !! We are a year behind you, but we can all party hardy on Jan. first !!!

Hey gang….I hadn’t thought of that but when the fireworks start I’ll try real hard not to disappear down to the basement – this year maybe I’ll try to stay on the back of the couch looking out the window watching the fireworks and pretending they are for ME ME ME!!

Hi Pedro! January 6th is a good day to celebrate…..I think it’s pretty neat you and I are having birthdays the same week. I’m hoping for some of that extra brushing/lap time myself – and I bet our humans will cooperate after we give them our special head bump routines!
Thanks for saying I don’t look a day over ten…………..I think………… 😉
