The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity
[the birthday girl]

Duck and cover -- it's a blogger cat post! Five years ago we adopted Madeline. She was a rescue kitten from the '98 Florida fires on the east coast. (Read more in my old "Soapbox" entry here.) They told us she was exactly five weeks old when we brought her home, so counting back, we guesstimated her birthday to be on May 9th. She's a beautiful black and white mixed-breed with more personality in her front left paw than most people have in their entire body. Maddie is 100% a daddy's girl, but she picked me. When we went by her cage, she reached both tiny paws out and grabbed my finger -- hanging on for dear life. We've been head-over-heels in love with her ever since... Happy birthday Madeline!



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



Happy Birthday, Madeline. You have great parents!

absolutely adorable.

Our kitty was rescued from a dumpster a few years ago, and she's the sweetest kitty we've ever known. There's something about rescue kitties... I think they really know when someone is there to take care of them, and they know how to appreciate.

She's kissing you and cleaning Todd? hehe. What a beautiful kitty.

Happy Birthday Madeline! May catnip and kitty toys surround you for the rest of your days. :)

I don't usually like cats (infected claw and teeth marks will do that to you), but Madeline looks like a definite sweetheart. Good on ye, Mads.

We have something in common ... On May 9th (1950), I was born. And, I've got just as much personality as you do, too! Happy Birthday to us.

She is so freaking adorable, there aren't enough words.

Btw, when I dropped Bella off at the boarder's today, they had two cats there - Boomer and Sooner. :) I immediately thought of you.

She is lovely. I miss my own kitty so much- she live with my parents (as did I until 2 yrs ago) because I live in a flat. Funnily enough since I left home I have become allergic to cats!?

that cat needs to be eaten.
