Yesterday, February 14th, was Kylo Ren’s birthday — aka KYLO REN DAY! A few years ago, Kylo hijacked Valentine’s Day and declared that we forego all Valentine’s celebrations in favor of celebrating him. So… this is the way.
Festivities included a clicker training session, solving a new food puzzle, playtime with his favorite wand toy, family playtime with his favorite wand toy, and lots of cuddles. We would have taken him out for a hike, but we’ve had nothing but rain for days…
It was a wonderful day – perfectly spent celebrating the sweet, baby fierce and ferocious Kylo Ren.
(For those who might not know Kylo’s backstory, he was a Valentine’s Day gift from my husband 5 years ago. He completely surprised me by adopting and bringing home a wild and rambunctious kitten. Since then, that kitten has been my Kylo Ren Valentine.)
Food Puzzle Challenge
For those who are curious, we recently got two puzzle feeders for the cats – mostly for Gryphon and Kylo. They are both high-energy and require a lot of mental and physical stimulation. Both puzzles have been a hit!
In fact, we will be holding a puzzle feeder challenge here in our house over the next week or so. I’m going to set each cat up with the puzzles, one at a time, to see who solves them the quickest.
Puzzles we’ll be using
Care to weigh in? Who do you think will be the quickest at solving the puzzles? Who do you think will just ignore them?

Happy Gotchaversary, Kylo Ren!
I think Sweetie would enjoy puzzles like those; Da Boyz would rather climb the walls…

Happy gotcha day, Kylo Ren! I’m actually really bad at puzzles, surprisingly, since I’m so good at so many other things.
Ellen Pilch says

Aww! Happy Kylo Ren Day! This whole post made my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. 🙂 I love that your husband surprised you with such a precious gift 5 years ago. Most of all, I love that you are here sharing your adventures with all of us!
I’m excited to learn more about the puzzle feeders. We’ve been thinking about trying out a few ourselves but weren’t sure if they’d be well received. Your two look very intent on figuring it all out. Must. get. food! 😀 So cute!
Sending love to you & yours. Thank you for sharing your little family! ♥
