Finally Friday and a Birthday

It's Finally Friday! And it's also The Mommy's birthday! We asked her how old she is today, and she said she's about 2-1/4 times as old as all of our ages added together. We never were very good at math....so she finally took pity on us and told us the actual number. We weren't sure if we should tell anyone else, though, but she said she didn't care, it's just a number. So we'll just whisper it and we know y'all won't tell anyone. She's 45 today!




In honor of her birthday, we decided to give her another photo opportunity with all 6 of us in one shot for another Super Spectacular Sextuple Cat Platinum Crown Jewel! We're good kitties like that. Teehee... And just picture our dear angel Callie laying there on the couch against the arm on the white and burgandy blankie, that was one of her favorite spots.

And The Mommy's birthday present to us today is taking off work for a 3-day weekend (gotta take advantage of those semi-rare Friday birthdays, she says), so that she can lavish more attention on us! Sounds like a good birthday to us...

Happy Friday to everyone, and a very happy birthday to The Mommy! We love you!



PS - Today is also The American Heart Association's Go Red for Women National Wear Red Day, to bring attention to heart disease in women. We're not wearing red because, well, we don't wear clothes. But The Mommy is wearing a red shirt today in support of this important health issue -- maybe your beans could join in, too?

Super Saturday Sextuplet

Regular readers may recall how positively giddy The Mommy got when she was previously able to finally get all of us -- then numbered at 5 -- in one photo, which she called the Quintuple Cat Crown Jewel (first occuring for our 100th post back in mid-September and then again just a month later in October).

Sadly, in the 7 weeks that there were 7 of us -- after adding Gypsy and Ziggy and before losing Callie -- she never managed to get a photo with all 7.

Well, imagine her shock, surprise, and utter delight when she looked around the den on Wednesday night and realized that the remaining 6 of us were all in there! Gypsy has just in the past couple of weeks started venturing into the den again, after self-exiling herself in the dining room for most of her time with us since coming along just at Halloween. And not only were all 6 of us in there, but with careful squeezing into the doorway and pulling the chair that Bugsy was in just a little further over (without disturbing him so much that he'd jump out... MOL), The Mommy was able to get a photo of it!

So, we are pleased to present to you, our adoring fans, the first Super Spectacular Sextuple Cat Platinum Crown Jewel! (Yoo should bigify to see better....)

That should hold her for awhile....
