Good morning.....and Happy TGIF
Today is my darling RB
Banshee's birthday. She would have been 18 years old today (she died four years ago and part of my heart died with her). Banshee was the feline love of my life, although Rick used to say that she was simply the love of my life, feline and otherwise. I cherished that girl and she knew it. I always took off work for her birthday and we spent the day together. Sometimes we'd just lie on the couch together, maybe watch a bit of television or I'd read a book. But I was always with her that day. It was our special day together. No matter where she was, I made sure I was right there, too. (When I interviewed for the job I have now, my boss asked me if I had any questions or anything he needed to know. I said that every year on September 20, I would need the day off. He asked me why and I told him that it was Banshee's birthday....nothing interfered with that. Nothing. He laughed and hired me anyway. That year, the day before September 20, he came into my office to ask me if I was serious about having that day off work. I was. And I always took that day off work. It was a given.)
When Banshee died, I decided that I wasn't going to do it anymore. And although I love Mollipop dearly, I don't take off work for her birthday.
Do you do anything special for your cats' birthdays or Gotcha Days or anything like that? A special cat food? A new toy? An extra kiss and hug?
Our kids always get a can of Fancy Feast for their birthdays. And I pick the cat up and sing Happy Birthday to whoever it is. We know BooBoo and Ms. Pepe's birthdays because they were born in our bedroom. We know Mollipop's birthday because I got her at our animal hospital and they had it on record; I got Molli when she was about seven weeks old. Not sure about the rest of the gang, so we celebrate Gotcha Days, the day that we Gotcha.
What about you?? What do you do?
