Happy Birthday Brendel & Dude

Celebrating my cats, as I do every day. Today Brendel turns 13. Rescued her not long after losing Momma Kitty in 2011. We actually rescued each other. She has had, and still has a few health conditions that cannot be cured. But all in all she seems fine. I am blessed to have her. The Dude turns 9 today. He was approximately one year old when he was rescued in 2014. And was on what we call death row. I could not leave him when I saw him there. The least adoptable cats are the black ones. He is such a teddy bear. I am happy to have him as well. Brendel weighs about 6 pounds, probably 1/3 the weight of the Dude. But she is the boss. She lets him know she was here first. And he listens. Very laid back personality. I hope they feel as blessed to be here as I do to have them to love. Happy Birthday to my feline babies. Photo is mine.

Thanks! They are in my lap right now as I type. Mom Kitty lived 23 years. Amazing.

@allknowing Yes they both try to get in my lap when the tv comes on for about two hours each night. I usually am holding Brendel as the Dude stretches. I need a bigger lap. Or they need to just get in their beds. So spoiled.

Happy Birthday (delayed) to Dude and Brendel!! I enjoy when you talk about them or share their pictures. In a way, they too have been part of Mylot. I am sure that if there had been a possibility of my kids meeting them, they would be very happy! By the way, I just discovered that I have been so out of touch with many of the updates that you shared. May be multiple reasons like not being active here sometimes or absorbed in some other discussions. I can see that there is a big lot from your side which I have missed - perhaps during the last 20 / 25 days!!

@CarolDM I got caught up in multiple things. That includes some things which were causing a lot of mental anguish initially.

Among the animal kingdom there is always a boss isn't there! Our family cat always gave our dog a swat to let him know he was living here first I rescued a black cat and had many fun years with her. Here is a photo.

I had a black cat once. My daughter brought it home when my oldest was a few months old. Dude is so lucky you adopted him!

Catty Birthdays, Brendel and Dude! Meoweee! You are so lucky to be with Mama Carol. @CarolDM Do they usually follow you wherever you go? Our collie followed me whenever I was out in the garden. He now lives with my daughter and son-in-law.
