One of my rare blog "cat" posts...

Our eldest child Selina turned 10 years old today. It just does not seem possible! I was a teenager when I got her, and now I'm about to turn 30 this fall. She was still very much a kitten (just 12 weeks old) when I met Todd. A few years after that she paid him back for proposing, thus taking her side of the bed, by peeing in his shoes later that weekend. The one and only time she has ever done anything like that in her life... But Todd knew marrying me meant he got her for life, too. So he dealt and made her a Pollman.

Happy birthday you little white ball of fluff. Little did I know naming you after Cat Woman meant you inherited the personality as well. And I couldn't love you more for it.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



Awww. How sweet! Happy birhtday, Selina!

Heh. The cat in the pic isn't her -- just one that looks just like her. But she doesn't need a bong. She's got catnip. She just writhes around the floor in ecstacy on top of whatever toy it's inside...leaving a puddle of drool behind her... Much like her mom with a Ben & Jerry's carton.

Did you make her a cake ?

Yeah!!! Happy Birthday Selina!! You should tell Mom and Dad to grow some fresh catnip for you. My cats love it!

If you click on the links in the post and the comments I've made, you can see tons of real pics of her. :-) And we didn't bake her a cake (her teeth are too bad at her age for that much sugar) but she got a big catnip treat!

Selina has got to be the least grumpiest looking persian cat I've ever seen! Happy birthday to the pretty kitty.

Wishing Selina a very happy birthday! May it be filled with tuna wishes and catnip dreams!

OH Selina, I remember when Robyn brought you home and almost drowned you giving you that first bath in the bathroom sink! :) As for your attitude, it's never changed! And Veshka, grumpy is an understatement! She's a b__tch. Love you anyway, Selina. Happy Birthday.

Happy BD Selina! She is a beautiful cat, and she definitely looks the part of the grumpy Persian. (Has there ever existed a Persian cat that was actually friendly?)

I loved all of your pets' pictures in your online album!! What a great looking family. :)
