Birthday Girl!

Today it is Pebbles's birthday, and she has reached the ripe old age of 18!

We're not actually sure about either of those facts, since she was adopted by my cousin and then rehomed by us when my cousin went to live in New Zealand. However, the age is the best the vet could give us, and we selected mid-May as a good time for a birthday, since it is a very distant time from all other birthdays in our families!

Of course, now she's 18, she is a grown-up even in human terms (and positively geriatric in cat years). I should really take her down the pub, buy her her first pint, and tell her she's a woman now!

However, what she will enjoy much more is snoozing curled up in her cardboard box for much of the day, then coming to sit with me on the sofa, purring a lot, and having the bit between her ears stroked, and topping off a perfect day with a bowl of prawns for supper!

What more could our dear old lady want?

We do love her so very much. >^..^<
