| I'm outta here! |
It is hard to believe 18 years ago on this very weekend ( May 8) Mom and Pop took me as a tiny kitten home from the Naples Florida animal shelter. I was supposed to be a woofie puppy but they did not have any that day so I was the lucky one to get picked. Well, Pop picked me and couldn't put me down.

| Me on Pop's lap - he is the bestest! |
We lived in Florida for a few years before we all moved to North Carolina. It was just me and my grumpy older sister Chica then. She is still my grumpy older sister all these years later. She will be 20 next month. We had a big house and screened porch all to ourselves. Chica was kinda mean to me so I was real good at finding safe hidy spots!

Chica picking on me again!
Can you find me?
I am having a quieter celebration this year but it will go on all weekend and you are all invited. We have treats, toys, nip and of course cake.
We are a big fan of the Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul dry cat food and will be giving away a prize package sponsored by them. Just let me know in your comment if you want in on the give-away. We'll Be giving away three sample bags of the adult cat dry formula; a $30 gift card to PetFoodAuthority.com and a copy of the Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul book. Some lucky cat could buy a lot of catnip with that!
And of course this being Mother's Day on Sunday, we wish all mothers in all species a very lovely Mother's Day. We are joining Misty Dawn for Camera Critters - please do stop by. Thanks for stopping by our celebration!

OMC - M would like to know what the secret is to your kitties living so long. What kind of food do you feed Them?
Happy Gotcha Day Yoko - we think you look wonderful in your diamond tiara. You obviously don't take any notice of Chica because you look so serene. We can't enter your give away being in the UK unless you would give it to Marg's Animals on our behalf.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Happy birthday, Yoko! What a lucky lady cat you are to have such a wonderful, loving home (except for when Chica gives you a bad time)!
We hope you have a great day, and that you all have a fantastic Mother's Day.
Now, did someone say cake and nip? :)
P.S. we'd love to be included in your drawing, thanks!

Happy Gotcha Day, Yoko! You are such a lucky kitty and we can tell you love your Pops and he loves you. We think you looked mighty spiffy in that pink hat. Yep, we can see you in that basket of clothes, looks like a great place to hide and nap. Have s super great weekend. Hugs and nose kisses
Happy Birthday!! And Happy Mother's Day! I thought our Rosie was old at 17, but you guys have her beat. Enjoy!
Sweet!!!! Yoko is a doll!!
Pelicans, poop, pictures, potty training and puns
That is my link for today. Hope you have a great weekend, and if you celebrate mother's day...enjoy!!!
18!! wow!
Happy gotcha Day
love all the photos
That's perfect! "Gotcha Day"! We adopted our adult dog from a rescue society and, not knowing when she was born or her real age, we celebrate the day we got her, too.
Now, Yoko, you should be nice to Chica if she is 20 years old, because that's very old for a cat. 18 is very good, too. I'm happy for both of you, and for your family.

Happy 18th Gotcha Day, Yoko!
And Chica is still your grumpy older sister? Then she must be at least 18 or 19. Sounds like Wildcat Woods is a healthy place to live.
A gigantic Happy Gotcha Day Yoko. What a good home you have had. You are one lucky kitty. We are going to go dig into all the goodies. It looks like a fantastic party.
Now listen, all you kitties, you need to be nice to your Mom tomorrow. So Happy Mother's Day to your wonderful Mom. Take care.
Congrats!
Have a nice day!
Happy Gotcha Day!!!

Happy Gotch Day Yoko!
We think you look so cute in your hat. You are one lucky kitty to have found such a wonderful forever home.
All of the cats here are strays that stayed. All spayed/neutered, with shots but only one is a housecat so far.
We would love to be included in the giveaway.
Happy Mother's Day!

Didn't notice this post is dated yesterday and told the CB today, Saturday, is Yoko's Gotcha Day. The CB had tomorrow listed as the day but has now changed it. But now we are very confused. What date is Yoko's Gotcha Day?
And another happy birthday (gotcha day) from me. Our kitty adopted us about fifteen years ago and is still going strong as my mother's faithful companion. Just gotta love those cats! - Margy
Being well-loved is good for a creature. We're sure it's helped you make it to 18, Yoko. Happy birthday from all of us Good Cats!
HAPPY GOTCHA DAY!!! you are so blessed to have 2 kitties that one has been here for 20 years so far and the other 18 years...that isn't common and you are truly blessed. I wish you TONS more years of joy!
