Sassy cats – You’ve got mail!

Sasha the magnificent here. Gus got mail this week. It was a birthday card from Chewy. We like Chewy, they bring wonderful stuff like food and treats and nice boxes. Gracie loved their boxes. Probably because they smelled of pet stuff. Then again, she loved boxes from Bath and Body, and they don’t have any catnip smelling stuff there. Maybe she liked patchouli too!

Back to the story, the peep freaked out. The card said that it was his 9th birthday. That’s impossible. He’s a young’un. She pulled out all his records and sure enough he was born sometime in 2017. I could count that on my toe beans. Yep, he was nine.

Gus hiding in the closet on day 4 here.

He got all sorts of hugs and smoochies just for being old. The peep was kinda sad too. Gus and I are a year apart. I am the younger. She’s still sad from losing her grays. She said she’s not ready to lose more cats. Hopefully we are years away from that.

For his birthday, Gus hacked up the hugest red hairball ever! It was wondrous. Hair neatly wound and dry. No bits of food. The peep showed it to the male peep. (He rolled his eyes.) For a while I thought it would get mounted on the wall, but it went into the trash. Life is back to normal now. Gus is a year older, but he still wakes everyone up at 6 a.m. Do they teach that at the rescue?

With his bestie (and 5 pounds heavier!)

Have a wondrous and hairball free weekend!

  6. Gus, you don’t look a day older than Sasha – you don’t show your age at all. I really like the picture with your bestie, all snuggled close. Happy Birthday – I hope there were treats!

  12. Congrats, Gus, your neighboring feline Mojo here. Yay, you made it to the halfway mark with flying colors—of hairballs, of course. That means you’ve 9 more years to gift nice hairy projectiles to the peeps. So thoughtful of you to gift them on your special day. The extra attention is so worth it.

    I hacked up a wet mess for my peep this morning, too. And I’m 17. Nice and sloppy on the new dining room floor. She had to use a bunch of towels and curse words! (That’s how I get her to clean. If it wasn’t for my barfs, who knows what the place would look like.)

    Enjoy a snooze with your bestie!

  13. Hi Sash…how thoughtful of Chewy. Kinda like what the GAP does. Sorry the Peep got sad but hope that she and you have something special planned for Gus. He’s such a special guy. I know…

    How bout a stripper who jumps out of a cake, or better yet…tuna can. Bet he’d like that. 🙂

  14. Well Happy Birthday Gus! I’m sure you’ve forgiven your Mom for not knowing you were turning 9 but hey – she’s only human. My Mom forgets all kinds of things but fortunately feeding me isn’t one of them. That epic hairball was just your say of saying “MOM! I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU DIDN’T KNOW I WAS NINE!!!”. Tee Hee

    Hugs, Teddy
