It’s here! The kitty boys have a birthday today! You can read the whole story of how I acquired the kitty brothers, written at the time I got them, by clicking on “Andy and Dougy come Home”, just above the post headline, but today is what we celebrate. Andy and Dougy are five years old today, and doing fine!

Andy was so ugly he was cute! (This was my first look at Andy, age six weeks.) He grew up to be a beauty, as did Dougy.
Of course, you can see how cute Andy and Dougy were at three months by looking at the top of this blog. By then, I was totally in love with them!

“Peek-a-boo!” Through the years, the kitty boys have amused me, brought joy into my life! Notice his “horns” are up!

Sometimes they have disagreements (Andy’s in the top carrier, where Dougy decided he wanted to be. Of course!)

“#&^@%#(^&!, Andy! I was here first!”
“#&^@%#(^&!, you, too, Dougy!”
But mostly they just get along. Sometimes in activities that are naughty kitty territory!

Andy isn’t sure if he wants to get involved or not.
“C’mon, Andy! You’re the one that knows how to open drawers!” says Dougy.

Of course, birthday or not, the boys will do what the boys always do!
Andy washes up and Dougy checks out the fir for birds.
We aren’t making a big deal of the birthday. Earlier, Andy and I fell asleep in front of the television. No idea where Dougy was, but most likely he was sleeping in the guest bedroom. Later, both cats followed me to the bathroom, a routine all cat people understand and endure….. Then Dougy and I played with the Neko BirBug toy while Andy enjoyed the heat of the lamp on the end table. Yes, on this big day, everything is just fine and normal!
And I forgot, Happy Birthday!!

I don’t know what I’d do if I was actually alone in the bathroom. I’m just used to one staring at me from the sink counter and the other one sipping water out of the tap…bum in the air. Normal visits to the bathroom.
