This past Friday, March 23rd, was our sweet Sampson’s birthday. I still can’t believe he is 6 years old now! For some reason, in my mind, my cats stop aging around 2-3 years old. So when I stopped to think about what his real age is, I was shocked. My little baby Sampy is all grown up.
He may technically be 6, but in my heart he is still a little baby with big giant ears who loves to suckle on my neck.
He has since grown into those big ears, but he has thankfully never outgrown the suckling.
To celebrate Sampy’s birthday, we had a little party for him. We gathered a bunch of toys, sprinkled them in catnip, and threw them out all over the rug in our living room. Then sprinkled the rug in nip too! It was fun to watch all the kitties rolling around, playing with toys all together. Even Lucy joined in. We will have to have kitty parties more often!

Happy, happy birthday, Sampson! Glad you got to have such a terrific nip party. I think mom should throw us a nip party just because! I thought your mom was exaggerating about those years but it looks like maybe not.

My dearest husband, I am praying you can forgive me for not acknowledging your birthday. ????As I cannot type or write, I must blame my mom. My dad reminded her it was your birthday, and still she let me down. I love you with all my heart, and even if I didn’t send a special birthday message on your day, You were on my mind and in my heart. You are indeed a sweet and gentle man cat, to which I can attest. Mom says you look like Mau did when he was a baby. He too had humongous ears.
You are the love ? of my life and I am wishing you a happy belated birthday smothered in kisses ?, Astrid
Annie says
