They say it’s my birthday.
Woo hoo! Happy Birthday to me! My sister Kathy knows how to make her little brother happy!
Of course, she’s Molly’s Mom!
And I have Andy and Dougy to prove the point: Life is good ~ Cats do make it better! Thanks, Kathy!
It started with Louie the ginger cat and poor, fated Freckles, my first kitty. I’ve come to love my kitties more and more, and they never cease to amuse and entertain me!
To cat9984: I accidentally deleted you birthday greetings, a nasty quirk of option placement on WordPress. Thank you! Sorry I messed up. I found the place where you can undo things – eventually! – but the action didn’t take place. Fie on WordPress!!!
Happy Birthday Doug! What did the boys get for you?
What the boys got for me was cooperation when I felt a need to take an afternoon nap: They took one with me and didn’t bother me the whole time I slept! It was an odd birthday, but enjoyable!
well many more to you all!
Thanks! Each one is a blessing!
Gelukkige vrjaardag!Wel wat te laat maar zeker welgemeend
Bedankt, Marylou !! Het was een rustige verjaardag, maar ik genoot er net zo van.
I hope you had a very good birthday, and many more with the kitty boys.
Thanks, Amy! I had a miserable Chinese meal at a local restaurant, then took a very agreeable nap with the kitty boys afterwards. In all, it was a pretty good birthday!
Sorry about the miserable meal. At least you know not to go back there.
It’s the only lousy one I’ve had there. I will go there again, but I probably will stick with menu items I know are tasty! (And don’t have chicken in them…)
Yes, and is it really chicken? We had a Chinese restaurant shut down here in Chattanooga quite a few years back because they were serving “alternative” meat.
Ugh! I don’t know and probably don’t want to!
Happy belated birthday, Doug! Yes, cats DO make it better! 🙂
I add that dogs do, too, but I have been more a cat person since I retired and live in a duplex.
Happy Birthday to you!
We all in faraway Finland.
Thank you! I had a quiet day, with an afternoon nap. The kitty boys joined me!
The best way to relax, napping with the cats.
Exactly! If they are asleep, I can sleep, too. Otherwise, they walk on me and knead my arm till I give in and get up!
Belated happy birthday Doug. I am sorry to be late . yesterday we were not at home. we made a large tour by car to visite nine graves and florish them for Palm day next Sundy.We drove 300 km and I was tired yesterday night.
I hope the two hkittis have been especially kind for this special day
In friendship

The kitty boys were very respectful of me yesterday. I was very tired after dialysis, in port because I had meal at the local Chinese restaurant where I included plum wine with it. (Too sweet – I don’t care for overly sweet wines! Gewuertztraminers, Reislings, and Mosel wines are more in line with what I like. Even those like the Eiswein and Spaetlese wines, though sweet, aren’t candy-sweetish!) Anyway, since I was exhausted, I took a nap, and they did, too!
Loved them all, Happy Birthday again, CATs are our big love, Thank you, Love, nia
Me, too! Thanks! I had a great birthday, though I didn’t celebrate so much as share with others. Once I survived the onset of Wegener’s granulomatosis, I realized I was living a second life, one that I nearly missed out on having. In celebration of that, I give on my birthday instead of getting! In this case, I took baked goods in to the nurses and fellow patients at dialysis. No big deal, but every one enjoys a nice fruit-filled roll or a chocolate-frosted roll, and I enjoy sharing with others!
How nice of you, I can imagine how they were happy too. As you see, I missed the party dear WB, Welcome and Thanks, Love, nia
It makes for a happy day, I think, when you can share with others!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DADDY!!
Thank you! I had a good day.
Happy Birthday – and what a fun post!
Thank you, Otto! I try to make my posts fun on one level or another, so I appreciate your comment.
Happy Birthday!
Thank you! I am glad I had yet another birthday!
Happy Birthday! 😺💕🎂💕😺
Thanks! That’s quite a message with the imojis, too!
Lol my phone recently updated and blessed me with a wonderful new array of emojis from unicorns to snowflakes! 🙂
I don’t know if mine has them or not. I tend to use it more as a camera than as a phone.
Happy birthday! Hope you’re having a wonderful day – the kitties too!
Thanks, my friend! I did, indeed, have a great day!
Happy Birthday, Doug-the-Human ! Don’t overdo the nip !
I had some plum wine with my Chinese meal, but that was the extent of it. (Plum wine, I found, is too sweet for my tastes, which run to Reislings and Mosel wines….)
Happy Birthday!! Have a wonderful time today! Loved today’s pictures, I enjoy your pictures every day too.
Thanks! I had a cat-full day, and the kitty boys and I had a long nap in the afternoon. LOL!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks, Greg! It was a good day
happy birthday Doug; hope you get some canned goods and treats so you can re-gift them to andy and dougy !! 🙂 ♫♪♫♫♫♪ ♥
No cat goodies (boxes even) came my way, but I always keep kitty treats on hand because Andy (in particular) has a schedule when he expects me to hand them out. AND he tolerates no missed kitty treat times!!!
Happy, quiet Birthday, Doug ! amitiés pour vous trois 🙂
It was a pleasantly quiet day, France. As noted elsewhere, the kitty boys and I had a lovely afternoon nap as part of the celebration!
That is a cute sign. Happy Birthday!
I am imagining where it will look best. I want to have the sign where I can see it easily, but where it fits the surrounding photos. The best spot is not the best for viewing, though. Hmm. It’ll hang soon enough!
Happy Birthday, Doug! Have a fine day!!
Thanks, John! It was a quiet but agreeable day!
Have a wonderful birthday!
Thanks, Kate! I enjoyed my birthday this year!
Well, I’m glad you told me Doug.
♫ Happy Birthday to You, happy birthday to you… ♫
Hope its a good un, Sir!
It was! Thanks, Gerry! The best part: the afternoon nap the kitty boys and I took!
Nice job Sir Doug! Very wise too. Hehe!
I had no choice: I couldn’t keep my eyes open!
Understood, Doug! Hehe!
Hey, that was one good nap, too!
Happy Birthday friend! Benji says that you need to treat yourself and the boys with lots of good yummies in the tummies. Wishing you lots of sunshine too, the ZAB team.
Thanks, Anarette! I treated myself to a meal at a local Chinese restaurant and the kitty boys to their favorite Greenies treats (I don’t get paid to mention them…). As noted elsewhere, the best part was an afternoon napo the kitty boys and I took.
Naps and good food are always nice!
Oh yeah! One of the best parts about being retired is I can take a nap when I feel a need for it. As a college student, I had afternoons free, with morning classes (Ick – German at 8 AM for two years!) and evening classes in my major between 7-10 PM. That left lots of free time for afternoon naps, which I got in the habit of on the three days a week I had evening classes in my major. To this day, my body wants to take afternoon naps!
Nothing wrong with naps especially since the boys wake you up in the middle of the night. Happy Caturday.
Exactly! That’s how I look at it.
Happy birthday! Hope the kitty boys don’t give you too many birthday spankings (or swats) with their claws! And may you enjoy their gifts of cat hair as either condiments or as accessories … Or both! 🎂
Well, one of them gave a gift of vomit on the bathroom floor. Or maybe it was light diarrhea. Either way, I found it before I took my shoes and socks off and found it with my bare feet! LOL! Anyway, I had a great day, with a refreshing nap with the kitty boys in the afternoon.
Mmm mmm cat vomitus! Glad you didn’t slip and slide adding injury to insult!
Happy Birthday, Doug! I hope you have a wonderful day and the kittyboys are nice to you!
Thanks! I did have a great day and the kitty boys were very nice to me!
Happy Birthday, Doug. Here’s to many more.
Thank you Michael! Having survived the onset of Wegener’s granulomatosis (and a prognosis in December of 2003 of being dead within two years!), each day is a blessing, and each day is a gift of time I didn’t expect to have!
Happy Birthday, Doug. Yes, your sister definitely knows you!!
Thanks, GP! Yeah, she and I are the kitty people in the family. We grew up with dogs and became accidental cat people. The best part: We both still love dogs but don’t have the best living arrangements for dogs. Cats, that’s another thing! Of course, Andy and Dougy are great fun most of the time, though they are messy, not a good thing since I am a lousy housekeeper!
Housekeeping isn’t exactly my claim to fame either!
LOL! There always is something more fun, interesting, and important to do, eh?!
You know it!
Happy Birthday from Australia, although I had 26 March in my head.
Thanks, Peggy! I’m on page 32 of my life in my mind, but on page 70 in fact! Life is good!
Happy Birthday, my friend! Wishing you a wonderful day with lots of treats for you and your furry friends!
Thanks! I had a great day and the kitty boys (of course) got their treats on schedule. Andy made sure of that. He is a taskmaster when it comes to those treats, and he never lets me forget when it’s kitty treat time!
Happy birthday ! Mollie looks gorgeous, her Mom would certainly understand cats.
Yes, Molly is a very pretty cat! My sister says she’s a very sweet kitty girl, too. I had a great day on my birthday, but the best part was the afternoon nap the kitty boys and I took. LOL!
Happy Birthday!
I hope you’re going to celebrate it loud and long (and add some catnip) 🙂
Not loud and long, and no catnip, though there was kitty treats for the kitty boys before we three took an afternoon nap! Anyway, thanks! I had a great birthday, but a quiet one!
