Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Guess what! There’s not going to be a Mews and Nips today, because something much more important is happening today: it’s my birthday! I’m nine years old today! Mom still calls me her kitten, but I think she better start treating me like the mature cat I’ve become. I’m all grown up!
Allegra: You know, maybe some of our readers would rather get the week’s highlights like they usually do on Saturday. They might not appreciate you taking over the blog!
Ruby: Oh Allegra, of course they won’t mind. They all love me because I’m so cute and special, and today, I’m the birthday princess!
Allegra: You’re special alright…
Ruby: blows raspberry at Allegra. Hey, you better be nice to me, or you’re not going to get any of my tuna cake. There is going to be tuna cake, right?

This photo was taken the day I came home!

Happy, Happy Birthday Ruby. May you have many more, and I hope all of them shower you with many hugs and kisses, many presents, and of course your most special food in the world ‘Tuna Cake’.

My cats are growing up too, and I hate it. I want them to stay my kittens for the rest of their lives.
But I also love that they’re adults. It’s exciting to see how they’ve matured.

Beautiful as a kitten and as a mature woman.
And kudos, Ingrid, for your care of your beauties: Look at the gorgeous, healthy coat on the mature Ruby!
Maybe you could do a feature about things that promote healthy coats? Once you get past all the tuna cake and party hats, of course….

September 7, 2019 at 7:50 am (3 months ago)Oh, Ruby, you are such a pretty girl. You may take over anything as you like. Torties like you are special and as with my Tortie, I have crowned her the Queen. Whatever you want is yours. As you can see, I don’t spoil my baby much, do I?
I hope you have a spectacular birthday, Ruby, and I hope your tuna cake is yummy. (I can’t help but have a little gag in my throat as I type that.)
Hugs!
