Hard to believe that we have been blogging for seven years (eight if you count Mom's old natural pet care blog Cats and Dogs Naturally). Mom never got her act together to do a blogoversary post before this! Imagine!!!

| Angel Chica's 20th Birthday celebration in 2011. |
A lot has happened during that time - holidays, Gotcha Days, computer crashes, even losing our blog to hackers for weeks before we got it back. We also gained two new kitties, Callie and Mr. Kitty and lost seven of our beloved cats who left for the Rainbow Bridge. Plus, our neighbor cat, Jack, who we featured on the blog often, disappeared without a trace in Nov. 2015.

If you can't see it here go to our Youtube channel here.
We made so many friends, some who are still blogging and others who have moved on to other things. We appreciate all our blog pals, old and new, being there and supporting us in difficult times and celebrating with us in happy times. Even though we don't blog as much as we used to, we wouldn't still be here blogging if it weren't for all of you! You guys rock!

Let's end this blogoversary post by reposting below our very first blog post with Angel Ivy in front of the heater on a cold February day in 2009.
Cold Blustery Day
Ivy is sitting right in front of the space heater and not budging. The wind is howling, blowing leaves by the windows. The cats are feisty and running around fussing with each other. At least we didn't get any snow, just a few flurries.

Happy Happy 7th Blogoversary !
XOXO
For prize #3, most of your cats were formerly wild cats. They had been living out in the wild when you found them and started taking care of them.
Mum so enjoyed your post today as we haven't been blogging for as long as you have so we saw some 'new' posts today. Take care.
Love, Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Happy blogoversary to you all! We won't enter your draw, but we know most of you were feral cats. And we thought Al was the deaf kitty, but maybe we're mis-remembering!
Purrs and peace.
Happy Blogoversary! For question #2, Albert was born deaf. I am very happy you blog and I wish I had been reading blogs back when you started to have followed you all along.
7 years is a long time! Concatulations on a momentous achievement...we're so happy to know you!!!
Nice stroll down memory lane, and happy you've been with us so many years (hoping for many more!). How blessed are all the kitties who have come to your door over all these years, to receive your love and care (and Don's). The wildcat woods is a better place because of you, and it's been a joy to have you share it all with us.
Hugs, purrs, and thanks!
Happy Blogoversary. We are glad you are still blogging. It offers both shared smiles and tears, doesn't it!
Happy Blogoversary kittehs!

Isabel already answered question 3, but "Most of your cats were formerly...." feral.
Happy Blogoversary! You've been very special to us since you were one of the early bloggers to follow us. How time flies and, along the way, brings these wonderful angels into our lives.

Yippee for your seventh Blogoversary! We hope you are celebrating all weekend long because you should for this grand event!
We know Albert was your deaf cat and most of your cats were formerly feral we're probably wrong but we thought you had 16 cats.
Happy Blogoversary! And we wish you many many more!
Happy Blogoversary! Congrats on 7 years of blogging. :)
#1 - we think Al is the one that was born deaf
#2 - we're not sure of the number, but we'll guess 10
#3 - most of them were feral cats
A very happy 7th Blogoversary! I am glad to have you as my friends.
#1 and #3 have already been answered and I agree that it is Al and formerly feral.
For #2 I don't know how many cats you originally had in 2009 but in the "about us" it says 18 so I will go with that.
Happy 7th! It's quite an accomplishment. Keep up the good work!
We need to vist more often,you are the most gracious of blogs. Happy 7th Blogoversary and we re so glad we know you all.
I guess Jack didn't come back ?
Happy Blogoversary. We're so happy you are still around and will continue to be. We don't post as often as we'd like either, but we do manage to get a few out now and then. We have also appreciated meeting so many wonderful, caring people. There is something special about "animal" people - they are just the best!!
Happy Blogversary!!!!
We feel so blessed to have you and your sweet kitties as our friends.
Happy blogoversary! I didn't know Jack didn't come back. :-(
Happy Blogoversary to you friends!!
We know most of your cats were feral, we forget how many, and have no idea who was born deaf, but we send congratulations for the big event!
Happy happy blogoversary!!!! Not awake and commenting on phone, so will leave the quiz questions to those much more intelligent than we are! Love you all!!
7 years! Congratulations! That's a huge accomplishment :-)
Happy, happy day, my friends!
Happy Blogoversary, dear friends! You were one of our very first blogging friends, so we are EXTRA thankful for you. :)
We're pretty sure it is Albert who was born deaf.
