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!!
Hahaha! Their faces look so funny when they’re young.
I agree!
Handsome boys … happy birthday! 😀
Thanks! They had a very nice birthday of people-quality albacore, and they licked their plate and whiskers clean1
Happy birthday
They had a really good birthday celebration with albacore! (The tuna lasted for three days, so it was an especially pleasant fete for them!)
I grew up with Siamese cats, but can’t have cats due one of my son’s allergies. I just had to follow your blog after visiting several times, your cats are gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing them!!
Thanks, Toni! I’m sorry you have to deal with a cat allergy, but feel free to share my kitties vicariously!
Thanks for visiting my post and thinking on the same lines. Belated Happy Birthday to the cute cats, cats can give so much fine.
My pleasure! (The kitty boys asked me to ask if you left any tuna. I told them that was rude, and no!)
So that’s their favourite food, I hope they enjoyed.
They come running from the farthest reaches of the apartment if they hear a can opener, and, if it’s tuna, they get very vocal, begging for it!
Glad to hear it.
Happy Birthday sweet boys. Every day you grow older you grow more beautiful-err- I mean handsome.
Thanks from the kitties, Ruth! They aren’t vain about their beauty, but they are well aware of it! LOL! Tell Ali and Tim “Hi!” for me.
Awwww so cute and make cat-dad so happy!!! Woof!!! Happiest of bdays, boys!!!
You need to look at my blog for today, Maggie! You make a cameo appearance! Happiness comes in many forms. Woof!
Thank you and I Reblogged! Woof!
I’ve featured other dogs in past because they were such interesting subjects, and I felt I needed to let Maggie see she has a place of honor in my home!
(licks face) thank you, and happy 4th of July!
As much as I love my kitties, I’ve always been a dog guy, too! Hope you had a good 4th, too, and that the fireworks didn’t stress you out.
Mom stayed home with me instead of going to fireworks. So we cuddled under a blanket on the couch and listened to soft music instead. I think we both liked it. 🙂
What a good idea!
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.

LOL! Andy hangs out on y walker and Dougy threads himself in and out of my legs, sometime taking a rude sniff of my shorts where they rest on the floor around my legs.
Speaking of no privacy, Andy is staring at me from the recliner arm.
Yes, life is never lonely with a couple of kitties to make one feel loved?
LOL! For sure!
Please give the boys our very happiest birthday wishes, from Minx and me. Tuna and skritches, I wouldn’t mind that on my birthday.
Me, either! LOL! Skritches and tuna delivered and much appreciated!
Happy Birthday Andy and Dougy! You are both adorable. And yes, I understand about cats in the bathroom, I haven’t been alone in the bathroom in 20 years 🙂
You have seniority on that, then. I only have seven years of never having privacy in the bathroom! LOL!
Wow! Scritches, treats and a chance for mischief while you were out. Sounds like agood birthday. May they have many, many more.
I think they had a kitty good time, Angela! Best of all, they got more albacore for breakfast, and there is enough for at least one more day of it. They really, really, really think that’s OK!
Happy Birthday boys.
The boys had a nice tuna treat for their birthday. Thanks for the greeting, Peggy!
Happy Birthday to Andy and Dougy! And have a wonderful day enjoying your boys, Doug!
They were cute as kittens too!
Thanks! They too advantage of me being gone this afternoon, and were naughty!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks, David! They enjoyed a tuna treat!
It’s good to have a day where it’s fine and normal
I wish I could say that more often
But when you become part of the over the hill gang
That’s not always how goes it
If you get my drift
The Sheldon Perspective
I live the same existence! I was at dialysis half the day.
Awww happy birthday boys give them a good scrachtin for me!!
They were scritched in accordance with your instruction! (I got a good one, too, because they drool if I hit the right spot!)
Hahaha awesome!!
…and much appreciated, too!
Give my boys an added scratch behind the ear from me, Doug!!!
Will do, GP! Andy’s sleeping on his back by the computer, and Dougy’s off on cat business (“don’t ask, won’t tell”…). When available, I’ll give them an appropriate birthday scratch from you!
What a couple of sweethearts! Give them jaw rubs from me.
Oh yeah! They both will love, love, love that! Will do!
Your kitties are very luck to be with you and birthdays are swell. My own birthday is coming up on July 8 and my friend is baking a Kentucky Blackberry Jam Cake for it. I love those old home-style recipes that my Mom used to cook on her wood-burning kitchen range.
Let’s see….! If i get started today, I surely could reach your place by next Friday! That sounds like a very yummy cake!
It does, doesn’t it? I shall try to remember to describe it for you.
I’m looking forward to that!
Five years old and I’ve just met ’em…Well here is a little thought for you boyz. ~~dru~~

LOL! That was really fun! Thanks, Dru!
Happy day for the boys….
Thanks! They are more popular than I am, I think, and have enjoyed their birthday a lot more than I do mine. (Awwww!)
JUst enjoy….they run our lives….and it is great…chuq
Yes, when I get up, when I eat, what I do when up, when I do it, if I do it! Little Mussolinis they are!
Happy birthday Andy and Doug ☺☺
Thank you, Ritu! They enjoyed a tuna treat today after I got home, and they proclaimed it “yummy!”
Bless em!!!
They enjoyed the replay this morning, too! There’s at least one more tuna meal left for the little guys. I’ll probably save that till tomorrow.
I bet they are loving it!
You know it, Ritu! best of all, there’s enough for at least one more snack later.
😻
5!!!!! I had no idea they were that old. For some reason, I assumed they were about Purrseidon’s age (she will be 2 on 10-2).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
It is hard to imagine them five already, but they are! Thanks!
